Reality TV just lost one of its most outspoken stars! Aikisha Holly Colon has officially announced her departure from OWN’s Belle Collective, revealing the news during a live stream on Carlos King’s YouTube channel. The announcement came as a shock to both fans and King himself, who was joined by co-hosts Dustin Ross and Jazmin Henley-Brown.
Why Did Aikisha Leave?
Since joining in Season 2, Aikisha made waves with her ambitious plans to revitalize Farish Street, a historic Black-owned business district in Jackson, Mississippi. However, her time on the show was anything but smooth. She clashed with Lateshia Pearson over similar redevelopment efforts and found herself at odds with most of the cast—except for SoGucci Williams, who described Aikisha as having a “superiority complex.”
The Season 4 finale ended in chaos when Aikisha’s husband, former NFL star Willie Colon, nearly got into a physical altercation with Cliff Rogers and Glen Pearson. Although Willie was initially the guest on King’s podcast, he handed the mic over to Aikisha to deliver the bombshell:
“I got my pick-up letter. Thank you for the opportunity and the platform. But unfortunately, we will not be returning. The Colons are done,” she said, smiling.
