Naomi confirms she will no longer be a part of Total Divas cast, and it wasn't her choice

Rumors have been circulating for a number of days that Summer Rae and Naomi have been removed from the cast of Total Divas and will not be appearing in the third season that premieres on Jan. 4, 2015, on the E! channel.

Now, Naomi has addressed those rumors:

For many fans who've been asking I am no longer apart of the #TotalDivas cast (not by choice) I still support my girls and I'm excited...

For the new season! @WWE @eonline @TotalDivas

No official announcement has been made and no one has alluded to what the motivations there were behind this move. When it was revealed a couple months back that Paige and Alicia Fox would be joining the cast, Naomi and Summer were included in promotional materials.

Oh how quickly things can change.

We'll update with any new information on why this move was made when it becomes available.
