Evelyn is problematic and Shaunie is an enabler. This wouldn't be a problem if she didn't have the producer job. Her ego is a problem...she wants to promote herself on the show as this independent business woman, loving mother and even her ex's love interest. But she also wants to decide who is going to be on the show and is even doing PR work? (Next reunion episode, she looks like a spokesperson)
And now viewers get distracted by a discussion about casting and morals that should be behind the scenes, which is just not good for 'reality tv'. Just be a boss and brag about it on IG but don't ruin the party for everyone. Shaunie is not that interesting anyways, she is just someone who arranges meetings for people to 'squash beef and be cordial' aka drink too much and cat fight.
