A&E has already stated that the payment circumstances are different because Leah Remini is a producer on her own series.
People didn’t like the name and they didn’t like the premise of the documentary series.
Although A&E has not said this, the network was also in a huge pickle regarding Generation KKK before the network eventually backtracked and cancelled the series.
When the monetary issues came out, we’re guessing it was simply the last straw for that series.
