Winter Harris and Ashley Silva are departing LAMDC.

Weeks ago, “Love & Marriage: DC” stars Ashley Silva and Winter Harris took to social media to express their frustrations. Ashley didn’t appreciate being labeled as a mean girl by the fans. As we reported, Ashley isn’t on good terms with the majority of the cast. The drama kicked off when she revealed LAMDC newbies Clifton Pettie and Joi Carter Pettie secretly married off camera. When the situation turned into bad blood, Jamie Tyler and Erana Tyler placed a great bit of blame on Ashley. They also expressed that they believe DJ Quick Silva enables her behavior. And they certainly weren’t okay with Ashley calling Clifton sassy.

Ashley responded to Erana and Jamie’s criticism by posting a clip of Jamie telling Carlos King that Clifton was sassy in a past interview. Jamie said Ashley took his words out of context. Ashley eventually told her X followers that the current season of “Love & Marriage: DC” will be her last. Winter recently told her supporters she was leaving the show after this latest season as well. And she accused her coworkers of being fake.

Winter Harris learned a lot from Monique Samuels’ exit.

Winter discussed quitting LAMDC and more during an interview with Queen Shiba Darling. She said the departures of Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels were eye-opening.

“I take it back to Monique. She knew enough about what she and Chris had going on that was the time to renegotiate her contract. She was not going to give an intimate look into her personal life without being properly compensated for it. So I commend her for that.”

Winter continued, “She said she was willing to negotiate and received no further communication. I don’t know if anyone else was paying attention. All that signaled to me was that every last one of us was easily replaceable. And we could easily be discarded at any time. And one of the pieces of advice that she and Chris gave me in Ashley Darby’s house no less, I talked to them. That’s how I learned they weren’t coming back. So people love to ask, ‘Did y’all know?’ Yes, I knew. It was not my place to speak their piece.”

A past conversation stuck with Winter, “But they both said to me, listen here, pay very close attention. Trust no one. And when you decide to leave, you leave on your own accord. And make sure you do it in a way that no one can touch it. Duly noted.”

Winter alleged that she’s been assigned an unfair narrative by producers with no room to negotiate for higher pay. And she also alleged she recalls seeing a producer encourage her male coworker to check her. Interestingly enough, Monique blamed her exit from LAMDC on the money not meeting her standards compared to her “Real Housewives of Potomac” days. She also said she didn’t like the show’s direction.
