Real Housewives Hit Up Atlanta
The Real Housewives are moving down south, Atlanta style, y'all.
The new series, which expands on the fame of The Real Housewives of Orange County and The Real Housewives of New York City, premieres Tuesday, October 7 at 9 pm on Bravo.
Are you ready for the Southern belles? (From the picture above -- aka pink dress -- does it not look like a former pageant queen is involved?)
A quick rundown of the housewives:
DeShawn Snow: DeShawn's hubby is the captain of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, Eric Snow. They have three sons together. DeShawn runs a charity and is an active church member.
Kim Zolciak: Kim is not a housewife. Like Bethenny of The Real Housewives of NYC, Kim is single. Unlike Bethenny, she's a mom to two daughters. She has an active dating life and wants to be a famous country singer. Kim is also dating a mystery man who seems to buy her anything she wants.
Lisa Wu Hartwell: Lisa's the career woman, owning a real estate firm, a jewelery line and a baby clothing line, while juggling her work as an actress, model and writer. Busy much? Lisa's hubby is also an athlete, NFL player Ed Hartwell. They have three children together.
NeNe Leakes: NeNe is married to husband Gregg, a successful businessman, and the mother to their two sons. She helps out foundations and wants to open a luxury boutique hotel.
Sheree Whitfield: Another single "housewife" and single mom to three children, Sheree owned her own upscale clothing boutique but closed it to work on her own clothing line, "She by Sheree."

OMG
Keith Sweat must be foaming at the mouth, his two son's, Jordan and Justin being refered to as Ed Hartwells kids. Infact Ed and Lisa Wu have one child together, her older two son's are products of her former marriage to Keith Sweat, and from what I gather they live with him not Lisa and Ed
Real? Are you kidding? There is nothing real about these fake personalities. This show continues to get horrifyingly worse with every city. The first show of Atlanta housewives was my last to watch. If anyone thinks that living in this manner automatically makes you an important person, then you are living in a vacuum. These people are vapid and vacuous. They have no real purpose in life other than to feed their own bloated egos. Important people are people such as Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi, Barack Obama, Mother Theresa and anyone else who is making a positive change to the world. People who feed their egos like these ladies will only implode later on in life because all of their name brand possessions mean absolutely nothing. And…. they make themselves look shallow and very stupid. I am glad I am not like this. Buy your Gucci asses off bitches; I would rather take the high road. It is a much happier place and I would rather be an enlightened individual; it is a much more interesting place to be. Television executives need to do everyone a favor and quit highlighting this selfish, egotistical behavior. It serves no purpose whatsoever.
I like it. Sheree have some what of a diva personality like me. She is very sure of herself. I like persona. I wonder, what part of Ohio is she from. I grew up in suburbs of Cincinnati(Wyoming,Ohio.). Don't hate if these ladies has it going on. NeNe I like because she is real, she reminds me of my cousin Marsha, she makes me laugh. Some times you have to work hard for what you want. But remember ladies, do not forget where you came from.
Beth: these are women that probably didn't have anything before they married the men that GAVE them what they have. Granted, after being "set up" by their husbands, they would have to make it on their own. They seem to be making it, but if it weren't for the husbands, they wouldn't have what they have. They feel "entitled", this goes for all of the women in all three locations, but I think the Orange County women weren't as pompous as the ATL women.

well sir her older son is with the frist husband mmmmmmmmmm im not going to miss a show this is a good a very good show a show that shows black woman in business and doing the dayum thang but that nene she seems to be getto she dont have a buiness she dont make any money she where she is due to her husband money now that is a wrong image but i will watch the show to fully see what Ms nene is all about from what i see she isnt on the same level as the other woman but we will see
I saw a preview episode of this trash and I was appalled. These women are a hot ghetto mess and I will be sitting this one out. They make the other housewives look downright classy. I mean, seriously? At least two of these women aren't even married and one of them is a complete gold-digger trying to make enough money from her divorce to sit around doing nothing but pretending she's important. Pathetic. These women are the last thing we need on television. The entire Real Housewives franchise was already bad enough but this really takes the cake.
this would be fine if any of these women were actually from itp (inside the perimeter) of atlanta
I have watched all of the housewife episodes and this is the worst of all. These women have no respect about what life is all about. Its not just the lavish lifestyles and who can outdo who in the fashion industry. They have a emptyness inside, they need the Lord, there is a void missing in their life. They have nothing on the other episides of the housewives. I can tell they are not use to nothing, its just the men they married that makes them think they are more than anyone else, not. And as for the word DIVA they need to look it up, it is not what they think. I feel sorry for them. I pray that they seek the Lord.
I already left a comment yesterday and it's not on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me? If these low-brow, nouveau-riche, ghetto rats think they are Atlanta elitist, they are delusional. What an embarrassment for such a great city as Atlanta. If you want to see the real the Housewives of Atlanta attend the High Museum on an opening night or a Komen charity event were the real elite is in Atlanta. No self respecting women would ever be caught dead changing in a gas station parking lot, period. Much less into a sequin tube top and an plaid mini skirt. The issue I have with this show is simply a taste level, of which they have proven that they have none. Money does not equal taste or class. I will give Lisa Hartwell a thumbs up for being the only one proud to work and to contribute something to her marriage other than a stretched out Givenchy.
I can't see how any self respecting woman could galvanize behind the women portrayed in garbage television shows like these. The image of women that these "ladies" present to the masses is vile and detestable. They have accomplished nothing of merit in their lives except a boob-job and the ability to trap a sugar daddy. Then they get a spotlight on t.v. where they can teach our young women to abandon their intelligence, integrity, character, and hard work to make it in life by being a trophy for some rich creep.
Orange County was the best...SMH...so sad these women. Orange County (except 2) had their own wealth from start to finish Atlanta should take notes
I just watched this show for the first time today. The old phrase "money can't buy class" certainly applies here! Someone should tell these "ladies" that gum smacking and using incorrect grammar isn't dignified at all, especially at a social event. Phrases such as "He woulda went to get it" and "happy birfday" were like fingernails on a chalkboard. I won't be watching again ... in my opinion everything about this show was "ghetto-ish".
I heard about the show but haven't had the opportunity to see it yet. I was reading the comments when I saw you were from Cincinnati(LeVore Roshawn Grant). I'm also from Cincinnati where I lived in Colerain Township. Drop me a line some time(chbrown301@live.com).
Thanks

SO CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO BIG POPPA IS
Who is Big Poppa???? Will some one please find this out? I am dying to know!!!
I am a recently divorced 38 year old woman with a 5 year old son. I have watched this show a few times and I have mixed feelings. I have recently moved to Gainesville, GA with my son and I am struggling to keep my head above water. My ex-husband filed bankruptcy right before the divorce to leave me with nothing. My house was foreclosed on and my car was repo'ed. I consider myself a strong intelligent woman so how could this happen. I don't think these women should have to explain or defend the money they have or the lives they choose to lead....obviously there are many people who wish they had their lives or they wouldn't watch the show.. Best of luck to you all. I only wish I knew what it was like to have money and do what you women get to do. Maybe one day.
Two words: New Money
two more works: hood rich
Big Pappa is Kenny Rogers??
$1 MILLION AND SHE USES PLASTIC CUPS! EWWW
Mike and Beth summmary of these desperate housewives up to the T! tHIS IS THE MOST DISPICABLE SHOW ON tv.Kim is nothing more the a disillusioned high paid call girl obviously with a sugar dummie that's not even man enough to acknowlegde her damn country materialistic has. And yes Ms. Sherrie is laid back waiting on fat paycheck. Her and kim look 50years old and always claim to be in demand. Demand of their own bloated ego's. They are so pathetic except for lisa she's the only one that has a goal. Anyway if this is about housewives how in the heck did someone's dumb jumpoff get on team and an exwife. This is so animated and pathetic. kim is messy as hell not to metioon 2 faced and everything that flies out of her pancake coated face is materialistic. nothing of which she produced from hard work,she's a sorry example for her girls. Ne Ne is cool. Deshawn has the nerve to tell an assistant to call her parents to see what they wanted for dinner. that just appalled me lazy ass,want to be important and ain't has surrounded herself on paid staff except the meter man.
Kim and Sheree look like two Aardvarks. I like when NeNe was auctioning off Kim and said "Let's start this bid for this bitch at $2.00".
These women are not good representatives of the women in Atlanta. Nene is nothing but a ghetto hoodrat. She is not "keeping it real", she is an obnoxious hater with no tact. Deshawn gets on my damn nerves. People who are considered "elite" don't call themselves elite, idiot. I hate how she tries to act all snobby and bourgie when she is just new money garbage. I mean, who the hell doesn't know how to make a bed? Get the f--- outta here. And Sheree, um okay, why is she important? Oh yeah, she isn't. What does she do again? And someone please tell Kim about herself. Why does she wear that shiny wig? The wig and makeup definitely make her look older than 29! She looks around 36. I'm telling you, its her hair. She sounds like complete trailer trash. The women from The Real Desperate Housewives of O.C and New York are probably laughing their asses off at these bumpkin Atlanta women.
Kim....girl you CANNOT SING. Maybe you should ask BIG PAPA to buy you a VOICE - AND ANOTHER WIG. That wig doesn't even match your bleach blonde hair. Sheree reminds me of the THE LADY CHABLIS from the movie MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL (in other words she looks like a damned MAN - living as a woman) - sitting around waiting on a CHECK from her cross eyed ex husband. Sheree and Kim ARE TWO OF THE MESSIEST HEIFERS I HAVE EVER SEEN - acting like two little junior high school BRATS. I put these two in the same paragraph cuz they think they look like sisters (so that makes them fake AND delusional).
Shawny...bless your heart, next time you do a fundraiser don't leave your invites AT THE DAMNED MALL - don't have all those folks (YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW) come to your house ....GIRL WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? You should have talked to NeNe's gay boyfriend and sold tickets for the event(I knew that much without being of the ELITE SOCIETY - DUH) And about your statement at the beginning of the show..I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS??? Girl YOU are not great YOUR HUSBAND IS...nobody knows who you are by just introducing you as DESHAWN SNOW - unless they follow up with WIFE OF ERIC SNOW (and some people don't even know who HE is). After all, you two are no Michael and Juanita (Jordan).
NeNe and Lisa .... ARE MY GIRLS!!!!! You two are the only REAL women on the show. I love ya'll - Lisa can make you money but NeNe will TAKE your money (cause that sistah looks like she will CUT A BI*CH). You all stay real and don't let SHEREE AND KIM drag you into their DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.
Can we just all agree that this show is a COMPLETE and utter trainwreck?!?!?!?! I am in complete agreement with anyone that has pointed out how completely void of any class most of these women are. They are nothing like the women of Orange County. The only entertainment value in this show is to make fun of these women!!
I can't get over Kim thinking she can sing and Sheree's comments on how the drama going on with the other women "is not normal among high society." Ummm i've yet to see anything remotely resembling high society here. The parties and benefits they have aired so far showing the completely ridiculous clothing these women choose to wear...I.E. Kim's outfit to Sheree's bday party. Is it normal in high society for someone to react to fresh made guacamole as something that was just mixed in a rock??? UGH! I could go on and on as I'm sure a million others could too. This show needs to end after this season and not come back...like i said..its a trainwreck and while morbid curiosity brought me back for bits a pieces..it WON'T happen again.
I can't wait for Orange County to come back and with any hope they will allow some comment from them in regards to this show.
Big Poppa is rumored to be The Quincy Jones or some realestate tycoon named Lee Najjaar. Not sure if it's true or not can anyone eloborate?
What bull s$%&. This show really sucks. I like Lisa everyone other then her can suck off. And Kim, what an air head, you can not sing and you rally suck. Get a real job stop sleeping around..YOU CAN NOT SING you sound like someone is killing a cat/dog.heeee
This show is interesting...but makes black women look like fools!
this shere chick is cocky for no reason. she seems insecure deep down and has absolutely no fashion sense like she claims.. she sees a big tag so she thinks its fashion.. NO
!! since when is a leather apple hat and a furry sweater fashion?! shes also negative, rude and soft when it comes down too it! when she was "cursing out" those people from her viewing, she wasnt talkin to no one! that was a voice mail, girl byE! my mom is her age n looks WAY better than her.
deshawn is a sweet heart but shes lazy i know plenty of moms who cook, clean, send kids off to school, takes care of the whole house AND works!! and sadly she expects people to know who she is but shes no body... her husband is and barely that.. im FROM cleveland and i NEVER hear about eric snow.
nee nee is real. shes ghetto as hell but none the least shes real. she does tell it like it is and she will make comments to ur face. how ever.. being overly loud and having no class.. not ok.
kim... NEEDS TO GET OFF of the show. shes a slut/some ones mistress, she has no fashion sense what so ever and over all looks like a old ass version of barbie. the wig has to go! the short skirts that look like porno costumes must go! and over all shes a fake and scary female. and if u ask me her and shere became friends a little toooo fast!! i bet you she just wants to know who big poppa is!
lisa is the best. shes self established and head strong and i have nothing negative to say about her.
now some one tell me pleaseeeeeeeeeee, why on the other seasons of house wives they never showed pricetags of how much the women spend, but onhere it has to be known?
oh yea another thing.. did any one notice on the episode of "SHE" comming out, sheres "EX" husband made the statement "about time shes doing something!"
ha!!! gold digger!! thats why he treated her the way he did in the marriage. men spot real women and women who want they money!
oh yea kims singing.......WAMP
dallas is getting paid by big poppa believe that!! and we all know big poppa is married thats why he cant be seen in public with his tramp!
Tonight is the night of the season's end, can't wait. There should be some good sh*t go down. The reunion should be even better, although we all know that half of this is edited and put in different context.These women are paid good money to make fools of themselves. Still all in all it is fun to watch on a cold winter night just before bedtime. Happy watching all.

i want to start on Kim this miss wanna be can not hold a candle to Ne-Ne,she cannot SING, she look a real HOT MESS,and is very messy,OH YEAH so is the WIG.When KIM & sheree was at the restaraunt,KIm stated some people dont look good & dont have a real life, she was referring to Ne-Ne,I pretty sure anyone that was listening could see & hear that RAGGIDY comment.Why does Ne-Ne have to be jealous of anybody...AND IS THAT TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY or WHAT?These two hags need to get a life,no singing career 4u,and wheres the CLOTHES,designs on the wall what a BIG BIG laugh, even your girlfriend( Lisa) had something to say about that but I dont see you putting her down,speaking of Lisa on to her.I like her one flaw, shes a little messy too.she didn't have to go & tell Sheree about that night (YOU KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE A MESS)YOU should have left that alone.I think you might have forgotten that Ne-NE is your FRIEND too.You all talk about each other what really makes you all elite?If this is HIGH SOCIETY I DON"T WANT IT.I think Shawny is like every other person that get a little some thing something you want that taste of the good life hey you got it, just dont lose yourself,PLEASE don't get like that BOUGIE Sheree syndrum yes is said syndrum like bruce bruce saids that won't look good on yooouu.Now NE-NE you just have to tone it down a notch,this is not good for you __all the time, it dosent look nice,but I like your attitude, you tell it like it is & thats real, a little ghetto crazy but real.YOU GO GIRL(HAHA).Honestly this show is nothing like the Orange County show they are not so showy of the materialitics more on their personal lives thats in my opinon makes for better t.v. If you all come back after this episode please come back with some real CLASS & DIGNITY, and stop making us look bad, we all do not act like that.
I was wondering if Kim is wearing a wig? and if so WHY? If not then she needs a new hairdresser cause he hair looks terrible.
The true blue bloods of Atlanta have never seen this show. At most, rumor of its existence has spread among certain segments of the Junior League and hospital auxillaries. Those who have seen it are probably too embarassed to admit to it. These women are neither representative of Atlanta high society or of upper class black families. This is a bizarre 21st century mistral show. (Making the exploitation acceptable is perhaps the fact that the most exploited of the lot is white Kim--a Dolly Parton caricature, a smoking, pre-menopausal Tammy Faye Baker absent the religion, a post-tornado trailer park gal back fresh from a trip to Flo's beauty parlor). Absent Sheree, they are all fat, with some morbidly obese. Kim looks fifteen years older than her chronological age. What I simply do not understand is how the Housewives (from all the shows) are for the most part fat and high maintenance. Why don't the guys just save their money and patronize hookers?
sHEree(shez really a man,kidz are adopted)did you kim rehearse your blogs? It reads alot like hers, WOW! Also, NOONE is going to patronize your line because NOONE likes you !!!! LMAO & It shows no sense of CLASS or STYLE.
Oh I forgot to mention that on the episode when sHEree is on the phone discussing the samples & her GIRLFRIEND walks in took a good look at the fashionista's rug in the doorway. It is unwound & torn up she tried to cover it with a little cheap throw rug but camera crew moved it over!!!LMAO
I LOVED Atlanta housewives the best!
This show has to be embarrassing for African Americans . These gals are nothing but GOLD_DIGGERS .
I would like to Sheree do the dishes and shut her mouth . She loves herself , they all do .
Barry
When these women learn to say ASK instead of AX, I'll watch this program again.
