DeShawn Snow claims she was blindsided by the news of her ex-husband’s infidelity and their divorce. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) star revealed this during an interview with NeNe Leakes. Snow said her ex-husband filed for a divorce despite her desire to stay married and work things through. Meanwhile, her experience has not discouraged her from wanting to be married, and she expressed her willingness to try again.
DeShawn Snow’s Ex-Husband Blindsided Her With Divorce News
DeShawn Snow was with NeNe Leakes on the NeNe Leakes Show this week when she discussed her divorce. Snow was married to former NBA star and Cleveland Cavaliers captain Eric Snow for 12 years. During the interview, published on Wednesday, April 30, DeShawn Snow claimed she never expected the shocking news of her divorce. She also revealed that she would never have chosen to quit her marriage.
After Leakes asked if she would have filed, Snow said per Onsite, “I didn’t know that we needed to break up… that’s my truth. I didn’t. I was surprised, and then actually we were in counseling, so I thought we were working it out.” She added, “He filed in May. The baby was born in March, and he said… ‘I have a baby on the way,’ so of course he had to tell me, but even then, I wasn’t like, ‘Let’s file.’ I was like, ‘We going to work this out.’” DeShawn Snow said she cried after hearing about Eric’s side baby, but she never thought to leave.
“That didn’t cross my mind because I was supposed to break the generational curse.’ We can work through it,’ that was my mindset,” she continued. “We were together since freshman year in college, we built a life together, and he loved me, so we were in counseling trying to work through that. But at some point along the line, he decided that’s not what he wanted. He filed, and he gave me the courtesy of letting me know because it was going to be in the papers the next day,” DeShawn Snow concluded.
NeNe Leakes Claims DeShawn Snow Was Too Committed To Marriage
An incredulous NeNe Leakes analyzed the situation and told DeShawn Snow she was blindsided by her attachment to marriage. “You’ve always really liked marriage. Even today, you don’t want to be a girlfriend; you want to be a wife, so even today, it would be hard for you to file for divorce. Once you’re committed, you’re committed,” the reality TV star said.
She continued, “You would have never filed. Even though you know you need to file, you would have never done it.” Leakes claimed DeShawn Snow’s ex-husband filed for the divorce because he knew she would never have let him go. “You didn’t care how bad it got, you were never going to do it,” she told her former co-star.
Inside DeShawn Snow and Eric Snow’s Divorce
Eric Snow filed for divorce from his wife, former RHOA star DeShawn Graves Snow, in May 2010. He filed the papers in Fulton County Superior Court, claiming there was “no hope of reconciliation.” The couple had been married for 12 years, and Eric requested joint custody of their three children.
The divorce came shortly after it was revealed that the basketball coach was expecting a child with another woman. The woman, later identified as Marisela Alvarado, gave birth to their daughter in August 2010. Eric and Alvarado married after the divorce, while DeShawn Snow remains single. However, she revealed during the interview with Leakes that she still wants to get married and is dating.
If NeNe Leakes’ analysis is true, DeShawn Snow must have been heartbroken to learn about Eric’s infidelity and their divorce. Thankfully, she seems to have recovered from the trauma and is looking forward to a happily married life again.
