Interestingly enough, Dutchess had a lot to say about self-love recently. So walking away from the show hasn’t hurt her career at all. Dutchess also got a gig on a radio station as well. And she started her own production company, too. She still has her own tattoo shop in Charlotte, Pretty-N-Ink. However, these days Dutchess is in a much better place. Dutchess encouraged her followers and responded to critics. And the comments she read about herself on social media were really hurtful. She opened up about this on “Iyanla: Fix My Life.” In fact, Dutchess broke down in tears and said her self-esteem took a hit. Plus, she was also tired of being bashed by the viewers. It wasn’t a hard decision to make since she was over fighting with the rest of the cast. So Dutchess decided it was time to walk away from the show. So they started coming for Dutchess on a regular basis.

In fact, most of the gang actually sided with Cease. After she had a nasty breakup with Ceaser, she didn’t have much support left at the shop.
