But last week, TV One’s new President, Brad Siegel made his TV Press Tour debut at the Television Critics Association in Los Angeles as head of the network and did not present “R&B Divas Atlanta” as one of the returning series.

On Tuesday afternoon, several members of the cast were notified that the show that once delivered record-breaking numbers for TV One was officially cancelled.

Sources close to the production told AlwaysAList.com that there were a variety of issues that had the future of “R&B Divas Atlanta” in turmoil. From casting challenges to the network wanting the show to significantly lower its production budget, apparently TV One and the series’ executive producers could not come to terms.

While the network hasn’t confirmed the show’s cancellation, former “R&B Divas Atlanta” star and executive producer Nicci Gilbert has been telling fans on Twitter that her pending lawsuit against the network over Todd Tucker’s “Hollywood Divas” isn’t responsible for its demise.
