EXCLUSIVE ‘Atlanta Exes’ Tea! Tameka Raymond QUITS + Traci Steele Joins Cast…

Feb, 23 2014 | Written by ATLien
Taping for the Hollywood Exes Atlanta spin-off ‘Atlanta Exes‘ just got started and it seems there’s already some drama brewing on the cast.

Word on the curb is that Tameka Raymond has already QUIT the cast of Atlanta Exes!!

As mentioned previously, Usher Raymond’s ex has been pegged as the ‘anchor’ for the Atlanta group of ex-wives, which features Torrei Hart (Kevin Hart), Monyetta Shaw (Ne-Yo), Christina Johnson (CeeLo) and Sheree Buchanan (Ray Buchanan).

Tameka held a ~~Flea~~ ‘T’ Market event on Saturday (February 22, 2014), selling items from her now defunct ‘Estelle boutique’ and proceeds were to go towards Kile’s World Foundation, which was organized to honor her late son’s memory.

[FLASHBACK: Tameka Raymond Hosts 5K Run in Honor of Son Kile… (PHOTOS/VIDEO)]

I attended the event in support of Raymond, but had no idea it was to be filmed for the show.

Needless to say, I caught wind of drama on deck as soon as I pulled up on the scene as I spotted Tameka and DJ Traci Steele (formerly of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta) going at at!

An excited Traci spilled the tea via her instagram yesterday…

Details below…

So here’s the deal, I heard that DJ Traci and her baby daddy DJ Baby Drew have officially been booted from the cast of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

The couple just didn’t have what was needed to ‘turn up’ on the ratchet reality show and won’t be returning for season 3.

But it seems Traci learned her lesson.

The Atlanta DJ has been hanging out with Torrei Hart on the set of ‘Atlanta Exes’ and it seems that Hart and Raymond haven’t ‘bonded’ as expected. Steele (who knows Raymond) decided to be the ‘glue’ that could possibly hold the two ‘reality show’ newbies together.

Steele’s idea was a complete FAIL, especially considering that she brought the drama to an event that was being held to honor Tameka’s deceased son!

With camera’s rolling, Steele immediately ‘Turned UP’ for the show and acted out at the event in front of several surprised customers.

From what I’ve heard, Traci came into the store yelling and screaming at Tameka asking why she didn’t like Torrei and blah blah blah. Tameka could be heard stating, ‘this isn’t the place for this’ and Traci continued to press the issue.

When I pulled up, I spotted the three women walking out of the store where the argument continued outside. I stopped for a moment and chatted with Monyetta Shaw (she’s such a sweetie), which was when a producer came asking me to sign a release.

[SIDEBAR: Y’all already know I don’t do releases. I had no intention of being filmed and had I signed a release, you guys wouldn’t have this tea! So thank me later. lol]

Tameka was apparently upset that the women would go so far as to bring the drama to something that was being held to honor her son and I’ve HEARD that Raymond submitted her resignation shortly after Traci showed up and showed out.

Steele let the cat out of the bag in yet another twitter/instagram post, which she may or may not have deleted by now, stating:

So Traci Steele is joining the cast of Atlanta Exes and Tameka Raymond is walking off the cast after 2 weeks of filming. Dayum shame….

I was looking forward to seeing Tameka on the show. This Steele thing really through me for a loop…

Remember where you heard it first!!

What do you think of these recent developments?

Will Traci Steele make a good ‘friend of the show’?

  Usher made her… IJS..
  
  Jacueline
  
  Usher did not make her, get your facts right. For real she made him get a new look. You can’t make someone who is already made go do your home work then come holla at me.
  
  ISAIDIT!
  
  Usher DID NOT make her! Usheretta will need Tameka when he get that sex change and need fashion and make up tips! To be honest,I’m not upset! I think Tameka is too classy to be on reality tv! DJ Tracey Steele is soooo uninteresting.She can fake turn up all she wants,eventually she will go back to who she is …..BORING!

  My husband and I recently watched Hollywood exes. All very entertaining. I never focused on the celebrity spouses that divorced these exes… I was just watching…. until I learned tameeka was the "old lady" that was in a marriage with Usher. We are disgusted…u hear things in the news, but to finally see what the public had been saying is fact. ….he is a young man….everyone makes mistakes…he made BIG ones…having to accept the repercussions of his repulsive behavior. I know his mom is absolutely heartbroken…what did she do wrong to make her child resort to such disgusting acts. Just a thought….a rapper’s mom would have already had that eliminated. LOL. Dead that.

  Usher made a celebrity but she was very much accomplished in her field prior to marrying him
  
  Sophia
  
  Made her quit? Or made her? I think she made him. He hasn’t lookd the same since they broke up, Usher can not get his dressing right and his whole swag is off. Usher had a different confidence when he was married to Tamika, I would dare to say he has fallen way off now and his last album proved it. He needs that energy to get him right. IDK something is off with him. I wanted to see her on the show to understand better, she is intriguing.
- Carmen Knott-Wilson
  
  Oh lawd not Traci Steel she is a whiner, instigator and has no backstory literally. Don´t do that to tv
  
  Keema
  
  Traci Steele is an ugly hook nose chap! Wasn’t she fighting over a gay dj in another program??? Tameka should quit!!!!! I wouldnt work with no low life rejects either. How dare she try and show out at an event for her son!! I would have given her a right hook and then quit. Traci is thirsty as hell.
  The money can’t be that great. I don’t blame her, one bit. Isn’t Traci on another hip hop show? Ughhh I just can’t with Atlanta. I would molly wop one of them bs.
  
  dj
  
  No I will not be watching don’t like dj T and thought torre and tameka were friend’s. Tameka was a huge pull for this show
- 2bme
  
  Tameka better go get that check and shut Traci down..never let someone stop you from making your money
  
  hotlantaboss
  
  Thank you! If Tameka quits, I honestly have no reason to watch this show. Tracy need to sit her basic face ass down somewhere, fucking up my entertainment.
  
  2bme
  
  I still would like to know how Traci manages to look young and old at the same time..
  
  Monif78
  
  Traci is a low budget choice and she has the obvious struggle face. They are truly reaching with that one. She must really need some dough, Torrei looks about the same, I see why Kevin Hart didn’t rock with her dusty ass.
  
  hotlantaboss
  
  @2bme agreed, I never really had any opinion of Tracy one way or the other on LHHA, but she’s just too insignificant a character to cause the HEADLINER of ANY show to leave. What a crock! I really hope Tameka reconsiders, cause I don’t intend to watch otherwise.
  
  CBella
  
  I understand where you’re coming from, but maybe the cameras and Traci coming to such an important event for her just took her over the edge. Maybe she doesn’t need the money that bad, I know as hurtful as losing a child has to be that would’ve done it for me. The Exes franchise has never gone the ratchet route but sounds like Traci Steele is bringing her skills she picked up over at LHHATL to a decent franchise. Once you ruin your name and brand on reality tv you burn up a lot of more lucrative opportunities. These women will cut their own throats for camera time.
  
  les
  
  I was thinking the SAME thing? People are watching the show to see Tameka. IJS
  
  I really don’t have any interest in it anymore. not sure what Traci is hyped about, she’s WACK & BOR-ING!
- Kristi Bobbitt
  
  So does that mean TS is no longer on LHHATL?
- Kristi Bobbitt
  
  And is her Atlanta ex Drew? Chil´please…

  Nina Sutton & Jeremiah Hilton oh lawd they gonna be worse than them chycks on Hollywood Exes & S/N: ARE ALL THE SHOWS BASED ON ATLANTA GHETTO/RATCHET/OUT OF CONTROL/ PURE F&F? IJS
- Carmen Knott-Wilson
  
  Traci still sucks. Her voice is annoying. She should stick to radio
- Tiffani Is-a Prettylady
  
  Traci will just be kicked off this show, with her boren ass
- Jeri Smith
  
  Oh no not baby bop, she was horrible on LHHATL. On another note Hollywood Exes LA is not ghetto or ratchet. They are one of the more decent reality shows. Yes they had disagreements with each other but they handled them well.
- LaToya Williams
  
  He´ll no she is messy, complainer, just a straight up bad idea.

  Too bad that these reality shows don´t ask the public who´d they´d like to see and support on these show. I´d doubt I´d watch it anyhow. I don´t care for Tameka. Besides, if this Traci person was booted from one show, who´d want to see her in another. Also, I´m hearing nothing but negative comments about her. Just by the comments above, I´d get rid of her, as well. BUH-BYE
- Kenneka Houston
  
  damn, that was the only reason to watch it! i wanted to see her crazy ass! lol
- Jeri Smith
  
  I can´t believe Tracy tried to cause drama at a benefit for Tameka´s deceased child. I would´ve beat the breaks off of that annoying bitch THEN quit.
  
  Nina
  
  That bitch is irrelevant!!!!!!! Tameka was why I would watch, otherwise the show is toast! No one knows these otha b’s are Ceelo?? I didn’t know he was married, he wears skirts, Neyo is gay as fuqqqq, Tori is past fugly and Kevin is sporting a brand new baddie, I dont even know who the other lady is on the show at all. The cast is really tired, but I’m curious about Tamekas story and Tracie should not be a character in this group. Who is her famous ex?
- Gottaluvsum´ Katie
  
  Traci isn´t famous and neither is Drew! Ugh!
- Nai S. Green
  
  Oh boo Traci ass half be on radio! Why is she making a joke of herself. Sad! Id be mad too if you came to my damn event on some bullshyt!

  Usher must´ve paid her to quit so she wouldn´t exploit him

  How disrespectful of her.. For tv or not she clearly is a chicken head for that. All that talk about popcorn hoes and Traci is a reality tv hoe anything for a check I see..

  clearly! out of line!

  NOW SEE, I CAN’T with EITHER ONE!! SO ALL OF A SUDDEN, Traci Steele is on TURN UP MODE, when she was DULL as WET CHEESE on LHHATL! And never been too fond of Tameka either but u let some CHICK chase u from your MONEY? REALLY? U Betta cash the check first, CHECK TRACI and keep it MOVING… this is gonna be GOOD.. ATLien KNOW she got it ON LOCK! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT ATLien! WE LOVE IT!
- Constance Melissa
  
  That´s tacky and classless. Cooning for a check is not cute.
- Gwendolyn Gwendella Johnson
  
  Not interesting anymore. Womp womp #fail for Traci is boring as hell.
- Kimberly Judge Bandoh
  
  Tacky
- ateasweet
  
  Wft only after 2 weeks og filming really. The struggle is real in Tv land too. Although I dont know to much about them I was always fond of a Traci I encounter a few years back not this DJ but she did that.
- Tonya Martin
  
  Ummm whose EX is she?!?!! Didn´t NOBODY know who her “baby daddy” was until LHHATL…and even THEN he was a non-factor!
- Sophia SoBe
  
  Don´t nobody want to see nor hear Traci and her snooze fest behind. And who made her reality show fodder anyway?
- 2bme
  
  There has to be more to this..Take a knows damn well she is not above checking the hell out of somebody so cut it out..

  IDK, the trial on her son’s death just finished, the guy is about to be sentenced, so her emotions over her son’s death are high, then Traci shows up
  & acts out at her event for her son’s charity…on film…means the producers SET HER UP.
  
  I know she could check Traci but I’d walk too if the producers OK that.
- Dasiamay
  
  So Traci Steele is on the show because her ex is Baby Drew…..WTF?!?!
- Teresa A. Jones
  
  Who is Traci Steel?

  NOBODY WANTS TO SEE TRACI STEELE AGAIN!!! She is ridiculous.

  well if its true I wish Tameka the best I believe she wasn´t doing the show for drama but to showcase herself although I´m not that fond of Tameka I really don´t blame her, that is rude and uncalled for to show up to her son event and perform like that..I thought Traci Hart had more class then that..still I wont be watching
- Heather Hunter
  
  excuse me Torri Hart
- hotlantaboss
  
  If this is true, I’m PISSED to the highest PISSIVIZATION!
  
  I was sooooooooo looking forward to seeing Tameka Raymond, and getting an idea of what she’s like, as I’ve heard she’s really sweet. Tracy boring ass need to sit the hell down somewhere!
  
  Tameka if you’re reading this, PLEASE don’t let Tracy boring ass keep you from showing the world who you really are.
- Kathrina Knowsmyworth Hall
  
  No. She´s wack! !
- Jacueline
  
  How Tracy gone walk up starting S–t at that event, when her dumb as hell a-s got played out of all that money on national TV by her baby daddy. I know she don’t think that’s a good look for TV, No not being super dumb on TV. Go get back under that rock you crawled from under and get a real life.
- Joan Denise
  
  Mmmmmm who are these people & whose the famous one?
- LaSaundra Jones
  
  Well one bitter bird down…….sadly another one pops right in…..
- Not_In_The_Crowd
  
  They just lost all the interest the show carried. Without Tameka the show isn’t really all that interesting personally. I coulda done without seeing Traci Steele. She tries to hard and it comes off as irritating more than entertaining. I never liked her on LHHATL her presence added nothing. It was also very disrespectful for her to show up to an even supporting a cause for her deceased son. That’s just disgusting and nothing to gloat about on twitter. If Traci Steele is what Atlanta Exes is offering up i’ll pass and keep on with Hollywood Exes. DJ Baby Drew isn’t exactly a notable name BTW VH1.
- Blu Morgan
  
  Steele is soooo boring and the typical woman who cant let go of a man who doesnt want her. Shes sooooo tired
- Stephanie
  
  Traci has no shame. Who acts an ass and has no compassion at an event that is being held for someone who recently lost her son. I liked her on Love & Hip Hop but she went this far to be on another show. I guess she needs that check but have some decency!!
- Tameka Ladson
  
  the show is gona be wack now. everybody wanted to see Tameka.
- Tiffany Martinez
  
  As long as baby drew is not on the show..
- Canthelpbutlove Shakeya McDuffie
  
  Nobody wanted to see Tameka. Stop the lies.
  
  So what?
  
  I don’t care either way because I wasn’t going to watch it, but read the comments. Seems a lot of people wanted to see Tameka, and IF I was going to watch it period, it would have been to see what she’s like too, even though I’ve never had interest in her before.
- Fabi
  
  who is Tracy Steele? Why is she TV worthy anyway? I was tuning into the show to watch Tameka Raymond and hoping to see her life. other than Tameka I’m sorta interested in hearing is Monyetta is going to let us know Neyo is gay and the same for CeeLo’s ex wife other than those 3. I don’t care about the rest of them Tori Hart is ugly and trying to be funny like her ex husband and she is not funny it’s sad to see that television has to go in the direction of fighting and drama for ratings Tracy Steele should not be added into the equation or else I will not watch. also how are going to try to Show out with somebody at an event they’re giving if they didn’t do something to you. Not watching without Tameka on it.
- 1GrooveyCHICK
  
  Traci stop acting like you are "THAT BITCH"
  
  Going to that girls event to honor her son and raise money for a foundation was wayyyy to disrespectful. And in the words of Kandi…she should have dragged you through that bitch.
  
  Who confronts somebody…as a grown ass woman…about not liking another grown ass woman.
  
  Now we really know who is a "microwavable, popcorn, hoe" Living true to your label!
- Marjorie Mack
  
  Black women…STOP GOING ON THES REALITY SHOWS!! ..Making a quick dolla to expose your life and how u live is a damn shame..and then going on Twitter to rant about it is very, very, very childish. As a black woman you´re not making us look bad you´re making yourself look bad !
- TashaBGood
  
  Its a time and a place for everything I don’t think at Tameka’s charity event for her son was a good place for Traci to start mess.
- MsKing30
  
  I was watching to see Tameka Raymond as well. All those others can be missed. I think maybe after seeing all these comments about what viewers were waiting to see, they would reconsider the cast.
  Tracy has no respect and clearly you showing out at an event that Tameka is hosting in honor of her son, she must dont read the magazines, or blogs because if she did, she would know that Tameka takes alot of pride in doing this foundation for her son. And Tameka is not going to stand for any disrespect. Period. Aint no money long enough for this.

  There’s only 78 comments and most are from the same people..most people on other sites are rooting for Traci I don’t understand it but hay whatever.other don’t believe this story and think it’s hype for the show
  
  JRP
  
  I don’t think Tameka would participate in "hype" like this at a fundraiser for her son’s charity.
  
  Even if it’s "scripted" by VH1, it’s just WRONG at this event.
  Anyone who is "rooting for Traci" is plain sick. Even if you hate Tameka, anyone who’s willing to get in a fight (fake or not) at a charity event for a dead kid is NOT RIGHT.
- Mznazt
  
  I thought just like Hollywood Exes The show was supposed to follow the celebrity exe wife’s not baby mamas. Well I wasn`t going to watch anyway Tameka Raymond or Dj Tracy I don’t care for either of them and if Tameka didn’t want drama at her son’s event shouldn’t have allow a reality show to film at it.
- Tay
  
  All Im saying is and I wont throw too much shade at Traci bttt girl stick to radio cuz your not that cute we already know you cant mend people together as you tried to do on LHHA with Eric and Shay and you see where that got you!!! So I just want to know is this the price people pay for a coin or air time?!! Everyone and their business no matter how juicy isn’t meant for the public eye!!! & Im wondering as far as Torrey goes with Kevin being so hot I know that child support and alimony is a good piece of change so of all the things you could be doing why do this show IJS
- Tay
  
  my bad Erica and I spelled her name wrong Torrei
- Think ABOUT it
  
  Sooo I just put all the facts together and I think I know why Tameka quit. On Love and Hiphop ATL, Baby Drew was known as Usher’s DJ. So now enters Traci Steele (who is Drew’s baby momma) Tameka doesnt want any parts of Usher around her outside of their children together. I am pretty sure at some point Tameka and Traci ran in the same circle. Sooo now that things have gone coo coo with Usher, Tameka hates the sight of anything that reminds her of him. Hollywood Exes are using some of Mona Scott antics to start DRAMA. How are you the headliner of the show and you let some no name DJ steal your thunder. Chile Usher is haunting this lady down to the ground, She cant get away from him.

  I cant stand ugly torrei…. she is such a bitch.
