I never wanted to lose who I am, my character or my integrity for the sake of Hollywood.
For all reality TV, and all the viewers of reality TV, just be entertained. Don't invest your feelings, your heart, your soul into reality TV. It is entertainment. And that's all that it should be.
I'm not going to put them all in a box and say they all cheat. There are some good guys and I have met some good guys that play basketball.
If someone at VH1, the powers that be, said, 'Shaunie, we want you to completely do your family show,' would I do cartwheels on over to it? Absolutely, because that is probably the most fun I've ever had shooting anything ever so I would totally be fine with that and just do my EP but, yeah.
It's a crazy world, and I just want to remain true to myself, if that means I remain true to my core group of friends that I've had for umpteen years and being a mommy.
It's all realistic, if you get a group of ladies and you stick them together almost every day for three, four months you're going to have some catfights.
I mean, hell, when I pitched 'Basketball Wives' I was still married and I had no intentions of being on the show, I just was producing it and creating it, and that was it.
The kids and I kind of learned about the divorce at the same time. So that was hard. That was probably the worst part of the whole thing, was being able to deal with how hurt the whole kids were.
