Eastern TV, however, will still be involved with “Love & Hip Hop: New York, Love” and “Hip Hop: Miami” and “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”

Scott-Young, the creator of the VH1 “Love and Hip Hop” franchise, previously addressed claims that the reality show is fake.

“We take their real lives and put it into a production construct,” Young said. “We want to give it a soap opera feel, the ability to blend those production elements with real-life situations. That makes the show unique. That has people tuning in week in, week out. When people say it’s fake, it doesn’t bug me.”

According to the report, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” and “Basketball Wives” will be taken over by new production companies in an effort to bring fresh storylines and cast members.
