VH1 Pulls Ev and Ocho

In what’s definitely a smart move by the network, VH1’s announced they will not be premiering the reality series Ev and Ocho on September 3, 2012. The network’s pulled the series from their schedule following the arrest of now-former Miami Dolphins player Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson.
 
Per the network:

Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series ‘Eve and Ocho’ from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it.”

Evelyn Lozada (Basketball Wives) and Chad Johnson wed on July 4th. Marital bliss doesn’t seem to have lasted long as Ocho was arrested on a domestic battery charge on Friday, August 10, 2012 for allegedly head-butting Ev. Yes, head-butting. On Saturday, August 11th, the Miami Dolphins released the troubled player.
 
In a press conference today, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said the decision to drop Johnson wasn’t reactive or based on a single incident.
