Masika Kalysha is transitioning from one reality show to another, moving from VH1 hit Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood to WE tv’s Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta. Joining the likes of Shad “Bow Wow” Moss, Shaniah Mauldin, and Ayana Fite, Kalysha recently chopped it up with The Shade Room on her decision to ditch Los Angeles in favor of the Dirty South.

“I didn’t like the way I was being portrayed,” the 33-year-old beauty shared about her experience with L&HH. “I didn’t like the situations I was being put in. It ended up being a lot of situations that in my real life would never occur.”

Kalysha also revealed that L&HH producers cut a heartfelt scene with best friend, Moniece Slaughter, in which she discussed suffering a miscarriage, which was the “final straw” for the aspiring singer.

“They edited it out and my PR person asked them why and they said legal purposes… Anything that was positive or family oriented was taken away and replaced with things that weren’t going on in my everyday life so that was my final straw.”

I’m not going to be jumping around like an orangutan doing this crazy stuff that you want me to do that doesn’t exist in my real life.” ___________________________________ Masika said the final straw was when Vh1 edited out a scene she had with Moniece where she was talking about a miscarriage she had at 4 months. “It explained a lot of what was going on in my life,” she said. “They edited it out and my PR person asked them why and they said legal purposes. Bambi had a legal miscarriage, Nia had a legal miscarriage. There was a lot of legal miscarriages, why wasn’t mine legal?” ___________________________________ “I realized the thing that was illegal was anything that took away from their jump off storyline or this one-night stand storyline.
