'Desperate Housewives' star Vanessa Williams covers the Power 100 issue of Ebony magazine and in the feature story confessed to recently passing on a $600,000 book deal to write a tell-all tome.
The 47-year-old chanteuse tells the African-American lifestyle glossy that a book publisher wanted her to disclose intimate details about her first marriage to Ramon Hervey II and second marriage to former NBA star Rick Fox in a memoir.
"I don't want to reha
sh the past," she told Ebony. "I want to talk about what makes me, and why I'm a survivor. And [the publishers] didn't want that. They wanted to know about my ex-husbands. But I'm not going to throw my kids' dads under the bus."
The 15-time Grammy Award nominee, who was also nominated three times for Emmy Awards for "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series" for her role as Wilhelmina Slater on 'Ugly Betty,' joined the seventh season of 'Desperate Housewives' earlier this year after 'Betty' was canceled.
Williams' cover of Ebony magazine is on newsstands now.
