So this is what happens when a man shows loyalty to his so called bro huh? All I did was stick up and protect the woman I fell in love with

If you take me and thi and mimi out of the show last season, WHAT WOULD BE THEIR STORYLINE???? EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM WAS FAKE AS FUCK!
— BENZINO (@IAMBENZINO) October 29, 2014
So this is the story TMZ reported:
Benzino and fiancee Althea Eaton think “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” should air on Animal Planet … because they think producers are making them scapegoats.
Production sources tell us the couple was given the boot Wednesday AM … with no explanation.
Benzino says it’s obvious he and Althea are being blamed for the fight between them and castmates Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J … a brawl that proved irresistible for other cast members.
TMZ broke the story … Althea sued Joseline, claiming she started the fight while she was high on crack.
Although Althea got her ass whooped … producers sided with Joseline, even though other castmates felt Joseline should have gotten the boot.
VH1 wouldn’t comment, but it’s pretty obvious. Joseline’s better TV, and that trumps everything.
Annnnn it looks like Benzino and Althea found out the same way everybody else did?
RT @Mofochronicles: damn..they don't even directly tell u.. u found out on TMZ? @IAMBENZINO now that's shady as hell on their part. > right

He also put up a tweet right here that said, “You can’t fire a boss.” But HMMM. Seems to have been deleted?
I wonder how the other castmembers feel abour this?
