I will be teaching her from that moment forward that this is how a man treats women and that this is OK. Kelly also revealed that the glamorous lifestyles viewers believed the ex-wives lived came at a price.
At the end of the day, you got to be strong and secure and know who you are as an individual. We go through the same things. However, when it comes to legacy, both ladies wanted to be remembered for something else other than their last names.
It was bigger than me. And that my life is an example. Not to look for something else to complete you because that will really never satisfy you. The connection that you need is a God connection, not a man connection. Because hearing your story or seeing your vulnerability gave me the courage to move forward, to know that I can come out on the other side. November 24, pm Updated November 24, pm.
Sheree Zampino and Drea Kelly. Sheree Zampino and Drea Kelly want you to know they are more than just famous ex-wives. So yeah, it was an amazing experience for me, and it was a gift. But you know you really never know. MadameNoire: Were conversations necessary to be had before you agreed to do the show? Did you feel that was required? I thought that would be odd because we do have that kind of relationship, for them to turn on the TV and there I am.
At that juncture where we were dealing with the divorce and everything that was going on, we were communicating through lawyers. I think I would have been supported. But unfortunately, mine is on the flip-side of the coin. MadameNoire: Drea, you said you came out of your shell to show a different side of yourself publicly.
Was it hard trying to get back to you, the fun side of you, after what you had been through in your marriage and being hidden? Drea: It was definitely hard. But I think anything in life, just like fitness training, the beginning is very hard until you build that muscle and you build endurance and then you get to the place where you feel strong.
You have all of these things stacked against you. Then you couple that with the fact that this is also a celebrity. The list is so long that yes, it took a very long time, but I finally got the point where I took ego and stuff out if it. So that was my saving grace. I knew that me, I could never do it in my own power, but I knew that God was leading me and this is my ministry.
MadameNoire: You both were in marriages during the show. In what ways did being on TV maybe expose things about your relationships or perhaps put a strain on them in any way? After I was able to watch the show and kind of get on the other side of that, it was an opportunity to grow and to do things differently and to do things better and to make amends. Drea: Season 3 you did see me get remarried on the show.
At the end of the day, whether there was a show or not, you were an unfaithful man. Whether there were cameras or not, you were going to show up as an unfaithful man.
I think what the show did though was give a platform and fuel somebody being unfaithful. Unfortunately, that is a ticking time bomb for some people. Sheree: Whew! It gets exhausting dealing with me. I still believe in the sanctity of marriage. I do look forward to the day that I am a wife.
I do not. How do you deal with that? Drea: I get people right together. There are so many women who go through abuse every single day and they lose their lives every second, every day of every month of the year. Nobody bats an eye and nobody cares.
At the end of the day, I paid for my name in blood, sweat and tears, literally, so I have every right if I want to keep my name or not.
People need to realize me keeping my last name is not going to add to your life, nor is it going to take away. So why are people that worried about it number one? Number two, this last name gets things done. MadameNoire: Sheree, when the show ended, why was that kind of it for you with reality TV? Sheree: My thing is, I never sought to have any fame. So that for me was a huge step to just do it in the first place.
When the show wrapped, I was grateful for our show because when I bought into what they said, I told you initially I was terrified by it, they kept their promise.
They had something in mind for us and they were creating a brand, a brand of sisterhood and fellowship and women who basically had the same common denominator. So we were able to have that unbreakable bond and connection. So thank God because it was positive. All the things we bought into when we signed up to do the show, I think were fulfilled during the show. We were rare in that case. To this day, we were the classiest reality show out there.
Hands down, to this day. Did you hear about that? Sheree: I did! Maybe there will be a round two. Never say never.
Drea: I think things need to be cleared up with me. I accepted the casting offer. That was the reality of what happened. But it was a wonderful fit. On the show, do they have famous parents? The world is still hard and they still have to do the work, though.
