Ashlee Wilson
Style Network's new reality show "Big Rich Atlanta" is
like "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" in terms of locale and
conflict between the stars of the show. It stars five spoiled young
women in their late twenties, along with their long suffering, affluent
mothers. To pull in ratings they have resorted to fights and hair
(well, weave) pulling.
The most recent episode even had a mean racial tinge to it. Cast
mates Ashlee Wilson, who is white and Kahdijiha Rowe, who is black
started arguing and fighting at the former’s 28th birthday bash.
Ashlee came over to Kahdijiha and began insulting her. Ashlee referred
to Kahdijiha as a "fat black girl." Kahdijiha then called
Ashlee a "ugly white girl."
Ashlee Wilson and Kahdijiha Rowe
Ashlee kept repeating the "fat" taunts forcefully grabbing
Kahdijiha’s hip and stomach in a facetious manner, upsetting her.
Ashlee then forcefully reached towards Kahdijiha again, who was holding
a drink and the contents spilled in an upward direction. This enraged
Kahdijiha, who lunged at Ashlee.
Kahdijiha Rowe
The two women began fighting. Kahdijiha pulled out some of Ashlee’s
extensions and her real hair leaving her with a couple small bald
spots, tore her clothes and scratched her on her neck. Kahdijiha didn’t
seem to sustain any injuries in the fight. Ashlee called the police to
file a complaint.
Ashlee after the fight with scratch on her neck
and less hair/weave
First of all, the fight was totally unnecessary. Secondly, neither
woman needed to bring race into the picture either. It was uncalled
for. With the way both women use a lot of hair extensions (seriously,
leave some weave for everyone else) there were so many weave jokes that
could have been made, rather than mean personal comments accompanied by
racial mentions. Thirdly, why did Kahdijiha accept an invite to Ashlee’s
party when they are constantly arguing with and insulting each other.
Ashlee's bald spots after the fight
It became so ridiculous another cast mate stated to Rowe, after
Wilson came up to her picking a fight, "You told her to leave her
own party." Ashlee didn’t find any of it funny in the end, as
she stated of Kahdijiha, "She assaulted me." Yea, but you
started the fight. It’s always a good idea to keep one’s hands to
one’s self. Taunting someone, invading their personal space, calling
them fat, while grabbing at and poking the alleged fat could be
considered a mild assault as well.
