Kelly Price may not be a fan of the producers behind TV One's hit series, "R&B Divas LA," but she did agree to create drama in a ploy to make the show more interesting.
"In the instance of Fred. I did say yes to giving him a problem on camera," Price admitted in a recent interview with CNikky.com.
As seen on the show, Kelly gave Fred, a producer, more than a problem. She blatantly disrespected him and the conversations that were had about him, playing as if she didn't know who he was.
According to the "Mirror Mirror" and "You Should've Told Me" singer, the entire incident with Fred was sort of a "put on" for the cameras and she owns what she did, even though she has cried foul over producers using other things that she said, like 'I got some Vaseline, Timberland boots and a straight edge…'
"I still own what I did. Nobody forced me to do it, they did ask. I said yes. My thing was I didn’t want to fight with the ladies. But if you need some conflict, you need some drama I can have some drama with somebody that’s not gonna be here…Some of my frustration was real. When you see me scream ‘I’m too great for this…’ I’m not talking to any of the ladies. I’m in it with production," Price says in video below. "You’re treating me like garbage. And i don’t need to come here, to be treated like garbage."
Randomness: It's good that Kelly is speaking out, but is it too late? Should she have addressed these issues weeks ago (and on multiple platforms)?
You may have watched Kelly Price on R&B Divas LA and thought the drama between her and Fred was real. But in a recent interview, Price admitted that it was all an act for the producers. She revealed that she and Fred were never really at odds with each other, but they played up their disagreements to create more interesting TV.
This admission raises questions about the authenticity of reality TV shows and the manipulation of their participants. Many viewers assume that what they see on screen is real, but in reality, producers often encourage cast members to behave in certain ways or even script scenarios for them.
As viewers become more aware of this manipulation, there is a growing demand for greater transparency and authenticity in entertainment production.
The Controversy Surrounding Reality TV Manipulation
The drama on reality TV shows is often manufactured by producers to boost ratings, leaving viewers wondering what’s real and what’s not. This has caused controversy among some fans who feel like they’re being misled.
While it’s no secret that reality TV isn’t always 100% real, the extent of manipulation can be surprising.
One argument against this type of manipulation is that it takes away from the authenticity of the show. Fans want to see people in their natural element, reacting to situations as they would in real life. When producers step in and orchestrate certain events, it takes away from that experience. Some critics argue that if a show needs to rely on fake drama to keep viewers interested, then maybe it wasn’t a good concept to begin with.
On the other hand, some fans argue that without these moments of heightened drama, reality TV would be boring. They believe that producers are simply giving them what they want – entertainment.
It’s up for debate whether or not this type of manipulation is ethical or fair towards the cast members involved. However, one thing is for sure: Reality TV will continue to push boundaries and test limits when it comes to how much control producers have over the storylines portrayed on screen.
The Call for Greater Transparency and Authenticity in Entertainment Production
You can see a growing demand in the entertainment industry for more transparency and authenticity in the production process. This call for change comes as viewers become more aware of the manipulation that often takes place behind the scenes of reality TV shows. They want to know what is real and what is not, and they’re demanding honesty from producers.
As a result, some production companies have started to prioritize transparency. For example, some shows now include disclaimers at the beginning or end of each episode stating that certain scenes may have been manipulated for dramatic effect. Additionally, there’s been an increase in behind-the-scenes content that shows viewers how a show is created and produced.
However, there’s still a long way to go before complete transparency and authenticity becomes standard practice in the entertainment industry. Many people argue that it’d be difficult to create compelling content without some level of manipulation or scripting. Nonetheless, it’s important for producers to recognize their responsibility to be truthful with their audience and strive towards creating honest entertainment that doesn’t compromise ethics for ratings or revenue.
Conclusion
So, there you have it. Kelly Price has admitted to ‘putting on drama’ with Fred for the producers of R&B Divas LA.
This revelation adds fuel to the ongoing controversy surrounding reality TV manipulation and raises important questions about transparency and authenticity in entertainment production.
As viewers, we want to believe that what we see on our screens is a genuine portrayal of real life. However, this latest admission by Kelly Price highlights the need for greater accountability and honesty from reality TV producers.
It’s time for the industry to take a long hard look at its practices and make changes that prioritize integrity over ratings. Only then can we truly trust what we see on our screens.
