Mona Scott-Young Has a Tip For Love & Hip-Hop Critics: Change The D*mn Channel

We’ve only seen one episode of “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” but it obviously didn’t take long for people to chalk it up as a ratchet hot mess of a show. Apparently all that talk has made it’s way back to the show’s producer, Mona Scott-Young, and already she’s tired of it.

Using the best platform to get your “I don’t care what you have to say ’bout me” thoughts out there, Mona took to Twitter to extend this message to critics”

You know what they say..”Shoot the messenger”. But more simply, if you don’t like the show…DON’T WATCH IT! Freedom of choice!! I just … the folks talking s*** but glued to the screen. Change the damn channel!! LOL!”

I mean yeah, at this point arguing against this show is like making a case against video models in rap videos: these women signed up for this, nobody is forcing them to be there. Now, if the show turns violent like “Basketball Wives,” which it doesn’t appear to be from the season preview, then there should be an argument against it’s promotion of bullying and all that mess. But right now all we’re seeing are women walking around like little lost hip-hop puppies. You could probably make a case for it’s exploitation of fools in love but these women were lost long before the cameras started rolling.

That being said, do you think Mona has a point? If you don’t like it, don’t watch?

    Either she’s another money-grubing idiot or she just doesn’t get!Not only will I “change the channel”but I will not spend a dime on any sponsor that advertises on these wretched shows. So go shuck and jive that b.s. someplace else!

    No, she does not have a point… She is yet another person out to make a profit off the degradation of Black people. Real Housewives of the OC had women who were married… Real Housewives of Atlanta there were like 1.5 husbands. Basketball WIVES .5 husbands. Now comes Love and Hip Hop Atlanta… home of Jazzy Pha, Andre, CeeLo, and a host of other REAL HIP HOP Artists and producers who might be a little more above board and she picks these ignorant dregs of Atlanta Society to represent the scene… PUHLESE… you can tell when people are dragging the bottom of the barrel and this was definitely a drag… A FORMER PIMP are you kidding me? I did not watch because any time a grown man is asking a woman who’s baby is it I already know its a disgrace… yes its proof that you are having unprotected sex with a woman who is iffy… come on better quality TV… stop worrying about your pocket. We need the Drop Squad for this woman.

      These women may represent YOU, but she does not represent those of us who are not like that. If grown women want to make fools of themselves they should be able to do it. they have no obligation to an entire community of people unless we elected them to that position.

  • DO SOMETHING

    all the talk (negative or positive) only promotes these “reality” shows for a whopping $FREE.99. not only should we change the channel, WE should boycott it all and force VH1 to stand for “Video Hits” AGAIN….not “Vixens & Hoes”

  • Excepcion

    Just wondering if this woman has kids .. better yet is she a god mother/auntie/sister .. is she telling her “kids” to stay tuned for the next episode ? I doubt it. Even if you were to chalk it up as adult entertainment she’s a poor excuse for a role model/mentor if that’s how she deems herself. We know what her price is now and shes selling her self cheap !

  • NoConcern

    I think that people just expected more from the Basketball Wives because they appeared to represent a different group, but as for Mona and her folks…I think whateva honey, you and your cast do you…lol

    I agree with Mona, i can’t stand all the bitching and complaining about these reality shows yet the same ones complaining tune in week after week. Reality shows in general whether the cast is black or white is ratchet and laced with drama. If it’s so offensive to you DON’T WATCH. Those of us that do watch can do without your the bickering and unnecessary remarks. Thank you.

    Slow clap for Mona. That’s a life lesson as well. Whenever you don’t like something change it or just keep it pushing. I like the show because instead creating drama in my own life I can watch someone else’s drama. And for any dummy that says “oh people are going to think we all act like this and blah blah blah” Everyone already have a stereotype of us anyway. I mean hello our President and First Lady are the epitome of black class and they still call them monkeys and n!ggers, so I say to all my black people, be yourself because no matter what there will always be an idiot that WILL judge you even before you open your mouth!!!!

  • Truth

    While I’ll agree that no one is forced to participate or watch these shows, she’s smart enough to know that NO medium radio, tv, internet, etc. is above critique. When you portray women in what most would deem a negative light, you’ve signed up to get all the backlash and smack-talking that comes with it. So yeah, Mona, I’ll change the channel; but you also need to get real. Oh and speaking of, I’ve never seen such poorly scripted acting in all my life. No wonder it comes on before Single Ladies.
