Some people aren’t feeling what LAMH has become.
Carlos King has a hit on his hands with “Love & Marriage: Huntsville.” The OWN reality show has a lot of fans and remains a hot topic on social media. And while many are enjoying the constant drama on the show, some viewers have become critical. They feel like the show has become too toxic. One of the common complaints is they believe Miss Wanda is causing most of the problems. They also see her as the cause of things nearly becoming violent at the MaDonni re-opening event. So they have been calling for her to be removed from the show. However, it doesn’t seem like that will be happening.
While Carlos appreciates fans making LAMH a success, there’s one line of criticism that grinds his gears. And that is when people say that the show is ratchet.
During an episode of his Reality with The King podcast, Carlos called some people out.
He said, “The main thing that I wanna address is this social media commentary about the word ratchet. I feel like it’s overused. And y’all are using it a lot when it comes to Black people having a very heated moment on reality television.”
Carlos continued, “Y’all don’t use the word ratchet when Teresa Giudice flipped the table. Y’all don’t use the word ratchet when Lisa Rinna put a glass on the table, broke the glass, and threw a drink at Kim Richards.”
Carlos King is over it.
According to the show’s executive producer, the drama on LAMH mirrors real life for many people.
“Y’all only use the word ratchet as it applies to Black people and that ****** me off. And it ****** me off because it’s the Black audience, some of y’all, who run with that narrative. It’s the real world, everyone. In the real world, I don’t know any families or friendships, Black, white, Asian, or Latino where people haven’t had a huge disagreement that escalated and people wanting to defend each other.”
He adds, “That’s life. White folks do it, Black folks do it. Everyone does it. But still, y’all use the word ratchet as it relates to what happened in this episode. And then y’all love to say, ‘Well oh my God! Y’all make Black people look bad!'”
It’s ratchet and Carlos wanted it to be. Next.
The show is ratchet now and he knows this. So I’m not sure why he’s so triggered by people saying the obvious. It’s not a race thing. I call white people ratchet and ghetto all the time. Any race can be classless. That’s common sense. If he doesn’t want that label, maybe he should clean up his shows. He wanted Wanda to be a star, well this is what comes with that.
Amen!!!! Rachet is about behavior. Carlos thrives on that ignorance; that’s why he constantly goes back to the “tea”. He stirs the pot in order for the catty, petty, gutter responses can rise to the top! TRASHY behavior, just like Andy Cohen’s mess!
Well said
It’s ratchet as h-ll and Carlos knows it🤬
I think these People have major issues With Self,All Of Them Are Showing who They really Are, Kimmy seems to be the only one with some since, But what gets me is, why is it always the ones who have Allll this money get on TV And Have No Control over their Emotions.. And They All LOOK LIKE THEY GOT IT ALL Together.. It’s Sad.. I wonder what their neighbors and those that know them are saying..
I think Carlos should ask himself if he’d ever have his mother and other family members on television fighting for ratings. If the answer is no, he should understand the criticism. He also needs to stop pretending everyone’s life and family is dysfunctional.
Carlos should understand the criticism anyway considering how the show started. It was very different than what is now. And I think that is why people are so critical. They remember what it was and they feel like Carlos and OWN should have stuck to the original formula. Now we barely see these people do real estate. But they hyped up an almost altercation for months.
If he thinks it is not in bad taste then “HE” is just an exploited person who is totally interested in making mi ey and Black people look stereotypical.
The show started out under the auspices that there were couples in the “ South” who were doing quite well and giving back to their community. A plus for OWN! Now it’s like watching a trashy post from Walmart on Facebook!
The show’s not ratchet Wanda is and nobody can deny that she even says she comes from the gutter and she’s OK being in there come on Carlos don’t come on Carlos don’t VS nobody Wanda is Wanda is ratchet and she does give black let’s give black people a bad look. I don’t care what race or nationality are if you act like Wanda you are wretched you are ghetto you are hood you are gutter.. This show was about black people being professional be insufficient so what if they have some drama but at least they don’t go to the gutter the bottom of the barrel you need to let one to go she’s not a good look for anybody.
I know people have drama in their lives, but no one has as much drama as these people. Some of this is scripted for ratings and to keep the show going. How many of us can say that if our lives were on reality tv, people would continue to watch? Not many. I don’t watch this show because every commercial is drama-filled. I don’t have drama in my life and I don’t want to see chaos on tv. I briefly saw the episode at the salon where Melody (I remember her from season one because her voice is irritating) was arguing with the other woman. I turned away and I came back 30 minutes later and they were still arguing and putting fingers in one another’s face. Really? No one says, “The heck with this mess” and gets in their vehicle and leaves? No one throws a punch? Okay. Viewers, you’re being hoodwinked (pun intended). These shows are scripted and the drama is make believe. Why do these people continue to deal with one another if every interaction is drama? As long as you keep watching, this is the trash that will continue to be on tv.
Yeah I was thinking that I’m not watching too much more of this country mess. Why are they all interested in each other’s marriages? They had Chris and Nell’s disrespectful, effed up kids on the show! Now their throwing drinks on each other! I liked it in the beginning tho but I’m done!
Oh, dam Melody bought Keke a dam drug test so she could get answers for herself! That was not fly.
