Funky Dineva Reveals the Real Reason Dr. G and Sweet Tea Were Fired from “Married to Medicine”

Funky Dineva, known for delivering unfiltered commentary, recently spilled the real tea on why Dr. G and Sweet Tea were let go from Bravo’s “Married to Medicine.”

According to Dineva, their exit wasn’t just about low ratings or lack of drama—it was personal, strategic, and ultimately, a harsh lesson in the world of reality TV.

Dineva explained that Sweet Tea was never brought onto the show to be herself or to build her own narrative. Instead, she was used as a pawn in a larger scheme.

Her relationship with Dr. G was spotlighted for one reason: to provoke Dr. G’s ex, Quad, and stir up drama. Producers hoped Sweet Tea would go head-to-head with Quad, creating explosive television moments.

However, Sweet Tea never signed up for that role—she simply thought she was marrying Dr. G and stepping into a new chapter of her life, not a reality TV firestorm.

Once it became clear that the storyline wasn’t delivering the anticipated fireworks, the network quickly lost interest. Sweet Tea was left as collateral damage, caught in the crossfire of a plot she never asked for.

When she went live on Mother’s Day, it became obvious she was mentally checking out. She spoke about needing peace and authenticity, admitting the show no longer made sense for her. It wasn’t about fame or chasing camera time; for Sweet Tea, it was about living truthfully, and reality TV wasn’t giving her that.

Shortly after, Sweet Tea confirmed she was done with “Married to Medicine” after only two seasons, stating the drama simply wasn’t worth it.

While she bowed out gracefully, Funky Dineva was already telling followers that both she and Dr. G were not returning for the next season. Having deep connections in the industry, Dineva explained that the decision had nothing to do with boring storylines or ratings, but everything to do with failed expectations.

According to Dineva, Sweet Tea was brought in specifically to agitate Quad and create a new source of tension for the show. Producers banked on her being bold and confrontational, but Sweet Tea didn’t play along.

She wanted to be herself, not a reality TV villain, and when she didn’t deliver the chaos producers wanted, she was deemed expendable.

Dr. G, for his part, was aware of the game. After years away from the show, his return—now with a new wife—was less about sharing his growth and more about reclaiming relevance. He knew the producers’ intentions but didn’t intervene to protect Sweet Tea from being used as a pawn.

Ultimately, Funky Dineva argued that in reality TV, if you don’t bring drama, you’re out. Sweet Tea didn’t want to play that game, and that made her disposable.

But there’s a silver lining: after leaving Bravo, Sweet Tea found her voice on YouTube, joining the “Doctor Wives of Atlanta” and creating content on her own terms, free from manipulation.

Dineva’s final point: Sweet Tea was never meant to have a lasting role—she was brought in to trigger a reaction. When that didn’t happen, she was quickly cast aside. Now, she’s thriving outside of reality TV, proving sometimes getting fired is the best thing that can happen.
