Instead of focusing on the b*tching, back-stabbing and drink-throwing drama that are the focus of shows like Real Housewives and Jersey Shore, VH1's latest reality venture is all about female bonding, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
According to star Jessica Canseco, Hollywood Exes is all about empowering women -- and not encouraging them to spark drama between each other. "We need to support each other as women rather than beating each other up," she told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.
"You put a bunch of girls in a room and you’re going to get fights and disagreements and that’s just the way it goes, I fight with my own sisters," revealed the ex-wife of former baseball star Jose Canseco.
"We do go through some ups and downs and we’re all about passion when it comes to things, and we’re going to agree to disagree, but at the end of the day we really are sisters and we really do care about each other so we come back together."
Joining Jessica in the love fest are Andrea Kelly, ex-wife to rapper R. Kelly, Sheree Fletcher, ex-wife of Will Smith, and Mayte Garcia, ex-wife of Prince.
"It is absolutely a different message to other reality shows where the women are not even friends and they end up hating each other. Why would anyone want to bring somebody down?" she asked.

"What good is that? What is that teaching us? I don’t get it. That’s what is so great about our show, women need to support women."
Co-star Andrea Kelly agreed, tel
