‘Sorority Sisters’ Isn’t Alone… 10 Reality Shows That Were A Bad Look For Black Women

“Love & Hip Hop: New York”
The original “Love & Hip Hop” started Mona Scott-Young’s foray into reality TV, which has been hazardous for Black women’s representation. Scott-Young is credited as one of the producers and faces of ratchet reality TV — stereotyping Black women as angry, catty, violent, loud and promiscuous. In the last two seasons alone, Peter Gunz was messing around with his baby’s mother Tara Wallace and then, married his pregnant side chick Amina Buddafly; and Erica Mena and Cyn Santana went through an up-and-down relationship. This show started documenting the ratchetness among has-beens, hip-hop artists, wannabes and vixens.
