6/26: “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” finally confirmed by Bravo
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
(l-r) Lisa Wu Hartwell, DeShawn Snow, Kim Zolciak, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield.
Bravo finally confirmed today that, yes, there is a “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” coming to the cable network later this summer.
Here’s how Bravo is spinning it in its press release:
Bravo is heading south for its newest installment, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” The seven episode series will follow five women from Atlanta’s social elite - from NBA and NFL wives to sassy single moms - as they juggle their burgeoning careers and busy home lives with the whirl of the south’s hottest city.
Rumors have been floating around for months and the gossip Web site Young Black and Fabulous provided juicy details of four of the five women on June 9.
This follows the original, trashy “The Real Housewives of the O.C.,” the offshoot “The Real Housewives of New York City” and soon “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Apparently, Bravo thinks it has its very own “CSI” franchise.
The first 30-minute preview special airs Wednesday, July 30 at midnight after a rebroadcast of “Project Runway.” A specific launch date for the series has not bee set yet.
Here’s how Bravo describes each women:
Holiday cheer flowed in 2006 during the Christmas season at the Alpharetta home of Eric (left) and DeShawn Snow. Singer Lyfe Jennings (right) sang for the Cleveland Cavaliers center, his Realtor wife and their guests. CREDIT: JimiFlix Photography
-DeShawn Snow (above): Snow and her husband Eric, captain of the Cleveland Cavaliers, recently moved to their dream home in Alpharetta, GA. Mother to three boys - nine-year-old EJ, six-year-old Darius and five-year-old Jarren, Snow is an active member of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. She exercises her faith by running The DeShawn Snow Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on improving self-esteem in teenage girls. She is a regular on the Atlanta social circuit and extremely active in local philanthropy, sitting on the board of three different charities, all while expertly juggling her busy social calendar with being an NBA wife and keeping up with her boys.
-Kim Zolciak: Zolciak lives in an exclusive gated townhouse community in Duluth, GA with her two children, 11-year-old Brielle and six-year-old Ariana. Zolciak is single, but happily dating with hopes to marry again in the near future. She also has her sights set on fame in the music business as a country singer, and is currently working with Grammy award-winning mega-producer Dallas Austin and will begin recording an album later this year. A staple on the Atlanta scene, Zolciak balances life as a single mom with a vivacious social life. (Under that name, I have found zero info about her.)
-Lisa Wu Hartwell: Hartwell, a resident of a luxurious country club community in Duluth, GA, is a busy career woman who wears many hats - she owns her own real estate firm, Hartwell & Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a baby clothing line, Hart 2 Hart Baby, and juggles a budding acting, modeling and writing career. She’s a devoted wife to her husband, NFL player Ed Hartwell, and their three children 13-year-old Jordan, ten-year-old Justin and one-year-old EJ. When she’s not running one of her many businesses or running after the kids, Hartwell is very active in Atlanta’s social scene. She has a holding pattern Web site with no real content but you can see her photo.
-NeNe Leakes: Leakes is an active member of Atlanta society. She resides in the upscale Sugarloaf area of Atlanta with her husband Gregg, a successful real estate investor and business consultant, and their two sons, 18-year-old Brice and nine-year-old Brentt. Leakes donates her time to various foundations and is the founder of The Twisted Hearts Foundation, which brings awareness to domestic violence against women. Never one to sit still, the outspoken social butterfly also hopes to open a luxury boutique hotel in the very near future.
-Sheree Whitfield: Single socialite Whitfield, a resident of the exclusive Sandy Springs area of Atlanta, juggles her busy home life with a packed social calendar. She is a busy working mother to three children -Tierra, Kairo and Kaleigh. Whitfield prides herself on her fashion sense, and owned her own upscale clothing boutique - Bella Azul - for years before closing up shop to focus on her next business venture, a clothing line called “She by Sheree.” Whitfield is opening a new chapter in her life as a single mom while balancing her entrepreneurial spirit and active social life.

Very week lineup… 1) None actually live in Atlanta 2) Most appear elite in their own mind 3) Professional sports wives and music entertainers live in many cities…not sure how this is unique to Atlanta 4) Obvious that Bravo could not tap into the more traditional elite social circles where there would really be some entertainment that reflects the uniqueness of this local scene….

A show featuring a group of self centered, selfish women whose only concern is the next social engagement on their calendar, or a spa appointment. With so much going on with the country and world right now, think of how much all this money could do to solve a lot of the problems. Oh well, guess we still need to feature the trash on TV instead of putting it with the rest of the garbage!

The definition of housewife is: a married woman in charge of a household. Snow and Leakes are the only one’s who closely fits this description, but they don’t live in Atlanta. They both live about 45 minutes (no traffic) away from the city!

R1070 hit the nail on the head. Buckhead guy is right too. ITP true. Hm priceless!
These women were NOT good choices to represent Atlanta at all. Although, I LOVED Real Housewives of New York City and reunion episode, I’m not betting on the Atlanta show. (OKay so Bethenny is not yet a housewife, she certainly was the ‘glue’ that held the RHNYC together).
I will give the show a try. Lisa Hartwell and DeShawn Snow qualify, in my opinion as— GLAMOROUS Housewives.

Are you kidding me? These women are not even in the Atlanta area. They’re just shy of Gainesville GA.. LMAO. Bravo should have considered some individuals that live in the elite part of Buckhead or Downtown Atlanta area not Duluth. I mean they probably all know one another thats how small Duluth/Lawrenceville area is. Plus, its suppose to be HouseWIVES of Atlanta… there are only two that are actually married.The rest are single mothers….Oh boy… this is nothing like the Housewives of OC. Airing at Midnight… who is actually going to stay up and watch this at midnight… I guess the ladies thought they were getting some real air-time.

There are enough problems in the world; why are we watching rich women have even more of the spotlight on them? Boycott I say!!

This is a joke. These woman are successful at doing only one thing…..spending the hard earned money of their “professional” husbands or ex-husbands. DeShawn Snow in particular is the laughing stock of the real estate community. EDJ Realty only survived for as long as it did because of Eric Snow’s money and boy did DeShawn spend lots of it to gain her “image!” (Or so she thinks) Last I heard, Solid Source Realty (a discount real estate company) was holding her real estate license.
NOTE None of them are currently doing anything. They are all planning a new venture. Or should I say planning to conquer a “new paycheck” from another successful man. SHAME, SHAME

I too live in the upscale Johns Creek Alpharetta, however I dont live in some country club and even if I did, the lives of these women are VERY UNREALISTIC to the typical lives of your everyday house-wives either here in Metro Atlanta or anywhere elses. So whoopti dooo. But this lifestyle is not REALISTIC for EVERYDAY people. Not even the wives on Desperate Housewives live like this!!!!
By Dee from Metro Atlanta Area

I think when stations are going to do a show, they should feature more realistic and down to earth characters than these women. Not taking anything from them, their lives, their success or their social status, but to show a “real” housewife would be to find a middle class mother who on a daily basis tends to the ins and outs of her household, children (and husband, if applicable) and isn’t considered and elite socialite. But something that simple would be too boring for ratings, huh? I personally won’t be tuning in because this particular cast of “housewives” doesn’t appeal to me nor do they sound interesting. Try it again Bravo, but make it more down home and “real” the next time.

From the jist of the comments on this board I think Bravo should reconsider their choices. With the real estate market going to hell in a hand basket, I doubt these women and their husbands are living lavishly…champagne taste on a waters budget so to speak. I really feel that there are many more elite and profound citizens of the Atlanta area than those chosen, most definitely poor representation.I can smell the GHETTO-fied drama already. PUUHLLEEZE!

To Dee from Metro Atlanta Area I dso agree with you, see my comment above yours. I want to see a real house-wife that gets up and make her family breakfast, agrgues with her husband to take the garbage out, walks around the house and falls over her children’s toys and shoes, sits with her spouse and tries to figure out “WHAT” bills is important to pay, argues about the price of gas for the zillionth time, tell the kids they have to get rid of Rex the dog because the cost to feed him dips into the family’s budget and let be more REALISTIC and see a house-wife with NO makeup on, walking around in the same clothes for days, possibly havent showered in too days because of her hectic schedule and let not forget what makes us house-wives!!!! Lets not forget the part where we dont want to have sex with our spouses because we are so TIRED from doing EVERYTHING else and chances are it will be a cold day in hell when we put on a piece of lingerie for our spouse. The real everyday house-wife, sleeps in cotton and most of the time wakes up with one of her children in her bed that came in the bedroom during the night. THATS THE REAL LIFE OF AN EVERDAY HOUSE-WIFE!!!! CAN I GAT AN AMEN!!!!

David Duke, hm, ugh, JP, Pathetic and Buckhead Guy get over yourselves! I can understand why you would be intimidated by a BLACK WOMAN. They are successful, intelligent, and beautiful; maybe you should take notes.
FYI Socialites don’t only live in Buckhead, Downtown and Midtown. We’re everywhere!
Oh and for the record, the “Fake” housewives of OC are injected with so much Botox and silicon; they can’t even compete with the rich “big fat BLACK WOMEN”!
Stop being jealous, take your hoods off and open your eyes! You racist idiots!

Super, I am glad that no one will watch this show. If they did they might be led to believe that Atlanta’s housewives are unable to speak proper English, have confused being gaudy and garish with style, prefer to marry gansta’s and are ok with their husbands running around on them and having multiple children with multiple women. They should have called this show Ghetto gone faux glam or LaQuisha up in da big house.

THIS line up is EXACTLY why I happily left Atlanta last year after 7 years. I was sick and tired of the hip hop and professional athlete culture there that fostered such pathetic individuals like Vick and TI. So very sickening. These women are not the epitome of Atlanta housewives; they are the opposite in fact.

It never fails…any article, snippet, or story highlighting successful people other than white people will always drag out the worse posters on the ajc. Your lives and self-esteem have to be completely bottom barrel and miserable if you have to spend any amount of time throwing out negative and bigoted comments on an entertainment blog. Good grief! LOL! How pathetic you must be in real life.
With that said…the entire Housewives series is stupid, in my opinion. There were single women (some with kids) featured on every series, so if you are here complaining about that aspect of this Atlanta show, were you complaining about that when the single women were white?
This is 2008 and whites don’t control all the wealth in this country. Please get over it and stop being so resentful…it just makes you look and sound like a stupid hick.

For the people who are complaining that these women are not housewives, are not all married you must have not watche the earlier seasons.
Most if not all of the women on the OC version worked. AS a matter of fact, I believe Vickie was the primary breadwinner in her family. Did her husband even have a job for most of the show?
When Jo was on the show she did not work, but she was not a wife either. She was just the live in girlfriend. Oh, and she wanted to be in the music industry as well.
After 3 (or more—can’t remember) Lauri just became a wife. Before that she was a single mom living in a small townhouse. Not even wealthy.
And what’s her name that was the former playboy bunny turned real estate agent is married to a former athelete—a professional baseball player.
The concept of the show has not changed one bit. THe only difference is that it primarily features African American women.

this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but that’s what makes reality TV compelling - hopefully Kim won’t feel out of place because I’m certain that those sisters, some of whom may be a bit smitten, have very strong, unyielding personalities

I am white and I think the internet racists are laughable. I guarantee if you met them in person they would swear they were not and have a black “best” friend either now or growing up. You are a joke and if you live your live belittling everyone down to a racial stereotype or insult for folly, you are going to continue to be one emotionally lonely person.

It is very interesting how many people are willing to condemn this show before even seeing an episode! I am not a “Housewives” franchise afficionado, however, if there is a show that has the potential of casting Black women in a positive light, I’ll give it a shot. I am always interested in a wider portrayal of Black people than what is typically offered on the evening news.
From the descriptions of each woman, it sounds as if they all have interests outside the scope of themselves, which, on the surface, is admirable. We’ll see whether the show plays up their philanthropic bents or if it exploits the public’s commonly-held stereotypes of the “sista-girl”.
Again, the lives of socialites, Black or otherwise, don’t particularly interest me, but I will give this a shot since it’s a slice of metropolitan Atlanta [come on, doesn’t everyone say they’re from Atlanta if they live within 75 miles of downtown?] life that will be broadcast to the world.

Why does every comment about someone that does not agree with you have to be racist? Just for the record, my husband and I are very successful African-American business owners that has had occassion to encounter all of these individuals, except one at different events around Atlanta over the past few years. They are “misfits.” No class at all, they are always seeking attention, and are truly a source “humor”; make for good table conversation. Ask Ms. Snow which boards she sits on, nothing of any substance; very misleading to say the list. She is not associated with United Way, Habitat to Humanity, The Boys and Girls Club, or any other worthwhile humanitarian cause. Certainly she is not on the board of Delta Airlines, Georgia Power, or any major corporation. It is all a bunch of fluff created by an enormous bank account that funds her foolishness.

Kathy, I feel the same way, and I can see that you have evidence to back up anything negative you have to say about them, but there are some people with negative things to say about them based only off the small amount of info they read and photos. You know what that tells me, they are forming a negative opinion based off of skin color. If that’s not racist, I don’t know what racism is. Let’s just say you happened to be up there, hypothetically, they would be saying negative things about you. I’m just saying.

I do not know these ladies, nor have I heard of them in town social circles. But it sounds as though several are hard workers and, hopefully, will reflect a positive light on Atlanta. And I would image the reason the ladies come from outside the city, is that the Old Money ladies avoid potentially crass and embarassing attention.

I agree that the name of the series should not be ” The REAL Housewives of Atlanta. I am not, nor will I ever be a proponent of reality TV shows. Most of these shows, though live, are still scripted because of the “camera”. I admit that most of these women, though married, don’t live in Atlanta, unless you say Atlanta and it’s surrounding areas. Then this could then include Duluth, Sandy Springs, etc. Additionally, some of these women are not full-time Atlanta residents. So we should probably lobby BRAVO to get the criteria of the show tweaked to reflect it’s actual name. Being a housewife, which usually denotes, PTA, soccer, piano, basketball, girlscouts, etc are not what “REAL HOUSEWIVES” of Atlanta in this sense depicts, in the terms that most of us are accustomed to. These women have the option of giving the nanny a day off, or calling in one when they are exhausted from their busy SOCIAL lives and just want to spend time with their husbnads without having to deal with the kids, calling in the limo driver when they don’t want to drive their Escalades, Land/Range Rovers, Lexus, Mercedes, Bently’s, Roll, etc, sleeping in late, eating at an expensive restaurant, and shopping without looking at the price tag, because their live are already fraught with money. The real catalyst to this show or any of these “Real Housewives show” should not be the fame, fortune and social elite calendars, because these events for most of us don’t exist, and if they do, they come with a price that a usual family of four can’t afford. Our invitee list to our family holiday party, would not include a whose who of “Atlanta’s Elite society and other invite SOCIAL ELITES”, but rather a whose who amongst the in-laws, most of which we probably don’t like. I will say, that the individual or collective bashing of these young ladies is a bit overkill, but hey, that falls under “freedom of speech”. Keep in mind that we still do have choices in life, and most of you have already stated that you will not watch this show! Maybe, that’s why BRAVO only did seven shows for this series, to get a feel for what the ratings would be. Maybe, if we temper our comments and redirect our thoughts and give BRAVO some more realistic guidelines about what our society says depicts what the REAL HOUSEWIVES of Atlanta or any city USA really is, they might actually listen!!!!! Just a thought.

Boy if we could talk about real issues that that really mattter like uh our failing educational system or “parents” who aren’t really parenting at all by looks of some these kids attitudes today, gas prices I mean I could go on. what one must remember this is a “telvision show” that wants ratings anyway the can get them. I’ve read the comments here on this blog about depicting Atlanta. If anyone makes a decision on how people from certain city,region, country, whatever act based on a “reality” show and not “actuality” then let’s just say they probably aren’t well informed to begin with and they have sh*t for brains and the racist comments on this blog are showing the “REAL” Atlanta because there is absoulutely no camera here to “ham it up” for. The comments here show the intolerance people have for each other and how far we have to go. Because the cast happens to be made up largely of African- American women the negative comments flooded this blog both from white and black blogers which is so sad and the people that may know or have known the participants let them be they may not be on your Forbes 500 list of the richest, hll they might not be on anyone’s list of anything what’s does it matter? You are still going to be on here blogging about some other fake reality show tomorrow. Real housewives couldn’t have camera following them around because the camera men would be left in the dust trying to keep up with them. So let this topic die and get back to work or get back to looking at your porn or keep getting angry and thinking the minorities or whatever are taking over America.

There are plenty of REAL black socialite women that are married to doctors, lawyers’ and executives. These women married an athlete that is not real money. Also just getting your real-estate licenses doesn’t make you a major businessperson. Fashion designer, please putting an S on a black wife beater t-shirt is not original. Learn to sew.

Bravo has missed the mark on this one. Just because Atlanta has a high population of blacks does not mean that we want to see the up and coming from Bankhead Courts. I want to see the black professional women who have careers and home responsibilities all in check, all the while still giving back to the social life in Atlanta. Most of these “wives” are ex-wives and single moms, so they should not have been casted.

Wow…These posts…this topic…this way of thinking, are very reflective of some of the reasons I left the good ol USA in the first place. Not everyone associates wealth (generated from playing a sport) with being successful. There are plenty of good common folk who are “successful” in their own right and would probably make for more interesting TV. As for the mean spirited comments directed at the women, they are also indicative of the social ills that are endemic in not just Atlantans, but most Americans in general. I don’t even know what Bravo is but it sounds like a typical media entity that plays to and exploits the fizzures that exist in society for the sake of money. If anything, get mad at Bravo and the pandering, racebaiting, small-minded creatives (creatives is obviously an oxymoron) who put together this garbage. It’s just TV we are talking about here…bad TV! Of course it’s probably going to flop!! TV historically hasn’t created any scholars to my knowledge…just entertainment(good and bad). Wake up folks!! Try to be more aware of situations, especially when it comes to the media, where the framing of a particular topic, as in this case, is the true culprit. It is easy to point at those who live differently and ridicule them from the perspective of your own life. I live in Japan and I am an American. In general, American culture is very different from Japanese culture which at times is stressful for me.
Good luck!

What’s become of the South with this group of self absorbed “ladies” being the ‘best of housewives in Atlanta’? I think this show could have/should have chosen their ‘ladies’ more carefully. And, I agree, if two of them are ‘single’ that is not the connotation of a ‘housewife.’ I’m ashamed of Atlanta if these are our ‘representatives of Southern housewives.’

I am not from Atlanta and so I have never heard of these people before. I did an internet search just to read up more about them and have not been able to find a website for the twsited hearts foundation, harwell & associates real estate ( although there is a company in massachusettes witht he same name), have not been able to find wu girls jewelry or hart 2 hart baby clothes. As far as Zolciak goes it does not say where her money comes from, or if she has any businesses of her own or what industry she works it. It just says she is trying to be a singer and an actress. Hey isn’t that what everybody is trying to do? I do not see anything special about this show and I will not be one of the ones watching.

DENISE RICHARDS WAS WALKING AROUND WITH HER FORMER FRIEND HUSBAND. THE WOMEN FROM THE OC HOUSEWIVES GOT UNDRESSED TO GO TO THE PLAYBOY MANSION. ONE WAS A FORMER PLAYBOY BUNNY AND MARRIED TO A FORMER BASEBALL PLAYER WHO DIDN’T WANT HER BUT ALL OF THESE WOMEN ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.

To Get a Life: There is nothing wrong with watching tv. Some of it is very entertaining. I bet you listen to the radio, go to the movies or partake in some other technological form of entertainment. Why do some people get so self-righteous and claim that not watching or owning a tv makes them a better person?
The vast majority of us have lives. And when we want to unwind from the daily stress we all feel maybe we want to watch a tv show or read a book or go to the movies or visit with friends. And its our choice as to which of those we do. And if we choose to watch a television show that does not make us any less a person than you. So please don’t judge. Clearly you had some interest in this as well or you wouldn’t have read this story or posted a message.

Wow, so much hatred. Did you all forget that the original OC had three women that were single and had been divorced? You can easily turn the T.V. off if you don’t like it. I would say, that Bravo should have made it more diverse with the races. I would have loved to see them all get along and show that all black people aren’t “Getto”. Once again AJC proves that racism isn’t dead in 2008. Sad very sad!

“this is nothing like the Housewives of OC.”
for the record, at least two of the women on housewives of the OC weren’t married either. one was 24 and engaged. the other was a divorced single mother of two who worked for an insurance company.
that said, i’m sure this will be more interesting than giant snoozefest that was “the real housewives of new york city.” and i mean more interesting in the way “flavor of love” was far better television than “the bachelor(ette)”

And, who cares about their life — there are people struggling to make ends meet (and both parents are in the house). And I bet BRAVO won’t show all the houses that are up for foreclosure in those neighborhoods - the subject will not be addressed.

Racism and ignorance is still prevalent in the South. What stupid idiot would call women that are successful business owners, talented and educated un-classed? How predictable of the south, because 4 of the 5 are African American? The Housewives of Orange County and New York were all white and both shows had single women. Come on rednecks and uncle toms because of your failures do not put someone else down for their success. Class envy - Money envy - People Skill envy that is what you are, anonymousella, jbean3,buckhead guy and whomever agrees with the above fools. As far as Sugarloaf elite, so what there are 78 foreclosures there are 575 and counting that are not. This is America you can still be successful if you try.

Look, I agree if you don’t want to watch the show, just don’t watch it. However, I can say this about some of the cast..they screwed a lot of people during filming by not paying them, not even with a thank u card….foul.
Also, I am a little disappointed with Bravo by allowing some of the BIO’s to be fluffed. I think it is unethical to put philanthropist on certain bio’s knowing that some of the charity events/foundations were created at the last minute for appearances only. Not cool!I personally know this to be a fact!! Just wrong BRAVO…Also, to have FAKE hired help and FAKE shopping sprees confirms what some people throughout the country already thinks about ATL… Fake and Materialistic. This does not represent ATL YBF and YBW socialites. We have people that are actually doing it well here without the FAKE CRAP. I truly hope BRAVO CUT a lot of the FAKE crap out of the show… I also think the show can be exciting minus the typical ATL MO. Also, why are they featuring this at midnight? Says a lot about how they view us and support the new cast. Also, one of the reasons why you see Alpharetta, Duluth and Sugarloafis because some of these ladies are existing friends. They turned down SEVERAL of ATL ELITES(CEO, Doctors, Executives and Lawyers wives) that did not have a rating lifestyle…translated as drama… Please do not expect to see someone like Brooke Jackson Edmonds( Maynard Jackson Daughter)Not going to happen, even though she is a TRUE ATL doing it… I just hope this does not become the first season of Bravo’s Housewives that get placed in the Flavor of Luv and I love NY category.
I wanted to share with you three definitions, just in case you are unclear of the meanings.
Definition-A groupie is a person who seeks sexual and/or emotional intimacy with a celebrity. Groupies are often, but not always, fans of the celebrity they pursue.
Definition- Socialite is a person (male or female, but more often used for a woman) of social prominence who spends significant resources entertaining and being entertained but is not (at least in the early 20th century heyday of socialites) a professional entertainer. A socialite is usually a member of the upper class or aristocracy with their social movements categorized in high-society magazines like Tatler. In the United States, socialites may be listed in the Social Register. Young women may be debutantes prior to being socialites.
Definition-Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. Someone who is well known for practicing Definition:Philanthropy Philanthropy may sometimes be called a philanthropist. Although such individuals are often very wealthy, people may nevertheless perform philanthropic acts without possessing great wealth.
In closing, if any of the HWA read this blog…..PLEEEEZE go back to those that assisted you with making this show a success at NO COST and thank them…This is where WE(AA) sometimes fall short when it comes to business etiquette. Good luck on the show!

Hi ATLGIRL and Kathy,
I have enountered most of these women as well. This is the mot pathetic bunch of women I have ever meet, they have absolutely no substance at all. I know what Kathy meant about the boards that Snow sits on; most of them are boards that were created by these lame women for the purpose of “self publicity.” Snow is no housewife, she does not even know how to boil water. Her children are in constant care of “nannies” that change every couple of weeks because most refuse the work for her. My daugher previously attended school with her children and we had to deal with layers of people just to try to advise her about a classroom project of school event. My friend owns an agency that was placing both household help and nannies for her; the agency refused to work with her any longer because of the absolutely horrible things she has said and done to those that have worked for her. As far as her business is concerned, per the “ripoff” report she obviously treated her staff there the same way. I had heard this previously about her business acumen; she has been sued for wrongful termination more than once.
There are lots of wonderful, successful black women in Atlanta tha would truly reflect being housewifes in Atlanta. I don’t think that the negative comments that are posted here reflect jealously or anything of the sort. Obviously, those comments were written by individuals that know these women.
The sad thing in all of this, is that most of the spouses/ex-spouses of these women are truly wonderful people. Let’s just pray that the fathers have more influence over their offspring than the mothers, or else Atlanta is in real trouble!!!!!

Well, well this is great. Another great depiction of Atlanta. I smell diva attitude of Kimora Simmons magnitude. Nobody wives that married rich. Maybe the ATL wives can have cookouts similar to the Orange County cast. The only difference is that the Atlanta cast will probably have a few characters hanging around that resemble the Boyz N Tha Hood cast. Doughboy, Little Chris, etc. Should go over as well as that reality show in Atl “Flip This House” where that jackass Sam Leccima was staging everything. Really made Atl look good. I guess this is what people from around the country think of when they think of Atlanta.

Wow…I have never visited this site but it seems to be full of HATERs, and mostly RACIST ones at that. I can understand the comments concerning the single women being classified under the word “housewives” but why are there ignorant comments such as the women must be a knock-off from Flava Flav, or Atlanta’s elite are all rap/hip hop oriented, or the cast will have characters that resemble Boyz in the Hood. You “PEOPLE” kill me. When the show decides to add black women to the cast, you go into your stereotypical racists rage & rants. We can all comment about some of your characters on Reality TV also(LMAO), you surely don’t have great representation. You can also continue to degrade hip hop why most of YOUR PEOPLE are the largest consumers of the genre (go figure). It seems like most of you hate what you wish you could become. @SOUTHATL No, the country already characterize most of you as backwards a** rednecks that are 30 yrs behind the rest of your race. Visit other blogs and read the comments when a racist act is committed and see what they say about whites in the South.

For all the sister that are making comments, let’s see you go live in other major cities were the populations are not so upscalish for african americans and run youre little mouths. Atleast we are in full force with some color on any show. Ask all of the struggling aspiring african american known actors in California about trying to get something or any TV time. Thanks to all of the young whites that keep snatching up the acting jobs because ere still not seens as respected talent. You guys need to wake up and protect our sisters character because justlike what has happened in Texas. Soon Gwinnett will have Mexicans driving around in BMW’s getting haircuts like the whiteman and cutting out us as blacks who cant seem to stop downing each other. Grow up and preserve wealth. African american in other states would love to be an atlanta. Youre lucky compared to african american in other markets who are treated like 3rd class citizens behind illegal immigrants. Let these sisters shine! Save the hate for those others who you know dont want to see some color on ANYHING.

@The Good Old South
Thank You!! I can understand the comments about the ladies and their business ethics from previous business relationships but to the posters that continue to make the other disparaging comments because you don’t “approve” of their selections, get REAL! According to Brook (previous post) - and her depiction of the prevous cast reflects - some of you must be living in a delusion. The characteristics are the same as the previous cast. Former playboy bunny married to a professional athlete that became a real estate agent, a breadwinner who’s husband did not have a job during the show (Vicki), a live-in girlfriend (Jo) that was unemployed and wanted to be in the music industry, and a new wife (Lauri) that was previously living in a small townhouse and was not wealthy or successful!!!
Now, there are black women on the show and suddenly the show is going to be a disaster. Yet, they have obviously achieved more success than some of the previous cast members.
So, what’s the real issue here - the GOOD OL SOUTH!!!

Thank you. The crab in a barrel mentality is in full effect here. The others are just ranting racists that are upset that the show decided to depict black women as upscale (as if that’s a crime). The ironic thing is most of the commenters were stating why would they select single women on the show as the validity of their argument, or they don’t live in the city of Atlanta, they live in the suburbs. The show has ALWAYs had single women and how did they know the exact locale of the other cast members from the previous shows. Excuses, excuses!!!

Just becuase Bravo is adding a little ethnicity to the Real Housewives series does not mean that they have to sacrifice quality. I hardly considere these women “High Society” I dont see any of them as members of the Links, former Jack and Jill children, or 100 Black Women of Atlanta. I am African American, and I think this representation of “Elite Black Women” feeds into the whole stereotype. Why is there not a black woman of class and substance on the show who does something more that clothes, or athletes?? It essentialy says black women cannot make their own money unless we are married to an Athlete or we have divorced one. I agree with an earlier comment… essintialy a baby’s mama show. Oh yes, I heard from a Brovo insider the only reason they put a white lady on the show was becuase Bravo did not want to alienate the white viewers. Most of the events you will see on the show are staged. Bravo could have done a better job on selecting the participants, becuase to me these are just former video models, and women who live at athletic events that struck it rich …Gold Diggers that struck gold.

Bravo could have done a better job on selecting the participants, becuase to me these are just former video models, and women who live at athletic events that struck it rich …Gold Diggers that struck gold.

Several of them have tried to get their kids in Jack and Jill and join the Links, 100 Black Women of Atlanta, etc. of which I am a member. No one wants them or their ignorance, high class ghetto mess around us or our children.
Sounds like other that have posted have run into these “outcasts” before. Just how much did the Snows pay for this “publicity”. They appear to be sitting in the backyard of their new home in Alpharetta. I guess not enough people showed up for her latest “party”. She is known for sending invites to people she doesn’t know. The big lavish 10 year renewal of there vows were ignored as well. The photographer that took the pictures said that he had to only photograph one side of the room.
Disgusting. This group will do anything for attention.
Please don’t try to conversate with any of them. There is absolutely nothing between the ears.

GoGoYabari, you said it perfectly. Its sad that they dont have an elite classy business woman, CEO, business owner etc etc that have nothing to do with been married to an athlete, a rapper, you know what I mean. It make black woman look like the only way they have struck gold is via their connection with an athlete, or a rapper. The real worl need to know that there are educated black business women who are married to non athletes, non rappers and are also real house-wife. But then again I guess it would be a threat to society to see more real life Claire Huxtibles, wimps.

Hmm, these ladies don’t look to me like the typical Atlanta socialites. How about CLASSY, SOPHISTICATED, MANNERLY women from such areas as Buckhead or Midtown? Forgive me, but Alpharetta, Sugarloaf, etc are part of metro-Atlanta, but not Atlanta. NFL/sports wives (and players for that matter) haven’t exactly had the reputation of being classy. Just because their husbands make money, doesn’t make them the “real housewives” What a bummer that viewers are going to have such a skewed, racially biased vision of the “real” Atlanta.

If BRAVO wants to see the real housewives of ATL, they are welcomed to my house. They will see a woman unable to work due to sickness, and is supported on her husband’s teachers salary. You will see how creative finance works, and what it like to live pay check to pay check.

Being a native Atlantan and black, I must admit that I’m disappointed at this group of non-Atlantans representing Atlanta on this show. I’m not saying anything negative about those selected, but they could have gotten a better cross-section of women to represent Atlanta. Bravo should try and live up to it’s title of “Real” and not try and find so-called “elite” women. A blue-collar wife struggling to make ends meet can be compelling TV also. If I can sit through Flavor of Love, I guess I can stomach this also.

Don’t y’all get it? The title Real Housewives is tongue in cheek. Nothing about it is real. Bravo is counting on our curiosity to look into these “real” lives of “rich” people. I know that the wives of OC are the lower rungs of that community too—-not very classy ladies. NY seems to be a bit classier but still, the tantrums they throw and it is clear that several are on the fringes there too. It is all a show and a business. So no matter skin color they all do run a common theme, find the ones in the community that comes close but not quite in the real circles that will have enough trashiness to boost our ratings.

More imortantly though, now I understand why people from the north look down on the “slow talking” people from the south.
You folks that are so concerned about how this show will reflect on the city of Atlanta need not be concerned. Your comments on this thread has said it all!

Real housewives will know how to stretch a dollar, get the children off to school and other activities, work a full time gig, continue their education, raise up their husbands while they struggle to bring home a paycheck, handle working where they worship, make a full meal with an empty fridge, find a way to keep their appearance up when they’re out and through all the pain maintain dignity and grace. God bless the real housewives.

This is so sick. There is so much hate seeping off the ppl leaving the comments that its palpable. Anyone who’s watched any series in this show knows that it deals with women who have a lot of money to spend and most of it on luxury items. To the ppl who keep asking if they couldnt find wives of more well known men, ask yourselves, did u know any of men of the other women in the others series. To the ppl who ask why did they go to ATL and like South Beach, well, d** they just did the OC, why would they want to go to ANOTHER beach like setting, they want to show different parts of the country, duh. No one watches this show because its life changing or really representative of the average housewife, you watch it cause it entertaining, whether u are laughing with the women or at their over the top lifestyles. Yet, while we may laugh, theres no need to bring some much hate into it, its a reality tv show, wtf do yall care so much and have so much venom towards women u dont even know or most likely know from a story u heard from a friend. Get off ur high horses and stop the stupidity and realize its a reality tv show that made to entertain, no more no less. This new cast is no different from the past cast except in the color of some of their skins and yet we want to hold them to a whole new standard. Its not fair and not gonna get u anywhere, cause u are all gonna watch the show, anyway, so that u can bitch around the water cooler the next day about something u saw on there.

My goodness…from the comments I read, no one is going to watch this. Personally, as a native Atlantan….I’m more sick of Atlanta having to jump on the bandwagon of everything that comes on TV. You ever wonder how as soon as someone /something becomes a hit, they are either from Atlanta or Atlanta is the other home etc. This is more nonsense TV than anything…wonder if any of these ladies are really concerned with how they are going to appear on the show? I think not….they already have more $$$ than the rest of us…and so…now they can add one other thing to their belt. Quite tacky to include the single moms…unless they are going to themsevles as one of the other ladies husband mistress. But I havent watched any of these….and I wont be watching this one either.

Or will they show her going to have her weekly colon cleansing so as not to appear as fat as she really is? Add lunch with her equally lame group of friends and a trip to to mall…..that’s a typical day in her life. You will not see her near her children. Upon meeting her boys, the first thing they ask everyone is “Are you the new babysitter?” Go figure that.

They are counting on all of this attention, Bravo and the “housewives”, even if it is negative attention, like spoiled kids they are happy to get any kind of attention. Bravo counts on our curiosity of how these trashy “housewives/socialites” (said with realizing they are neither), live. They live outrageous and obscene lives just like OC and NY. The common threads: trashy on the fringe of real society women married to money/fame, who spend obscene amounts of money on obscene “things” and living obscenely lavish lifestyles whether they can afford it or not, while the rest of us normal REAL folks are trying to figure out how to afford gas just to get to our REAL jobs.

Clearly these women don’t live anywhere near Atlanta. However, if Bravo is going to set a TV show in Atlanta, Bravo is going to have some African Americans on the show. In fact, if Bravo is honest, there will be quite a few African Americans on the show. Atlanta is, after all, right around 60% African American. So at some level, simply choosing Atlanta as the location implies that there will be African Americans on the show.
Bigger picture for the folks who live in/near Atlanta and don’t like Black people. So why do you choose to live in the city that has been described as the “New Black Mecca” and “Chocolate City”? I hear Denver and Phoenix are getting more affordable, and bigots like you can practice more openly as part of the Minutemen in the West. So why not make a move?

I am not really sure why there is so much anger with the casting choices. Truth be told, I was a little surprised that none of the cast members live in the city, but many of them probably access the city for whatever they do with their lives. The cast is representative of well to do Metro Atlantans. I feel that Atlanta can be represented by not just the 500,000 in the city proper but also the 4.5 million in the metro area. For example, I live in Sandy Springs near where I work, but I consider myself an Atlantan. I utilize many things the city has to offer. It is all Atlanta to me!
And let’s face it; a majority of the Atlanta population is the suburbs. So I guess a better title would have been “The Real Housewives of Metro Atlanta,” Maybe then people would have been happier. I personally have no problem with the show or the title myself. Let the women have their fifteen minutes of fame.

**Wow, wow, wow! I couldn’t wait for the this edition of housewives to air, but I feel like it’s already in rerun. It is a fact that reality tv is for those who can’t muster talent to have a following otherwise. What’s most sad is that these women are ‘selected” to represent Atlanta as socialites, philanthropist, and at least housewives. Being “up in the club” while your babies are being sat by a referral babysitter 4 nites a week- does not a socialite make, and pleeeeze ex-Mrs Whitfield, get your name back, or get another one. You have the style of a Paris Hilton toy puppy, take a class, learn to sew, at least hem a skirt to custom fit your steroid developed frame. Mrs Snow has been in the “limelight” spending her husbands money as she see fits- nothing wrong, just simply not ‘right enough” to represent an entire demographic of population, but her hair is always beautiful! As for the jewelry designer/baby clothes designer/realtor/ Keith Sweat ex,etc, blah blah, pleeze ladies, let’s learn from this. When real ladies of Atlanta solcialite status turn down the offer with out a followup lunch meetings, ask yourself a ??? why did they ask me? why pick me??? Why??, because you said yes, idiot. Fame nor fortune is worth dignity & pride, I guess you will never quite understand that, because they don’t sell it at the mall. I know of at least 4 other Atlantan socialite, charitable board members who trully manage households within the metro area and outside who thought the idea of this type of exposure was crass,- just the Atl image- not the previous OC, NY- the target was to make us look foolish & drama laden- ex wives, baby mamas, ex strippers, child suppor benificiaries, what have you… We had no idea that 2 of women would ever accept…a recent desperate, non working divorce’ yeah, of course she would take the bait, chheeezzzee for a rat!

Re: Real Houswives of ATL (ATL, that’s my favorite part. All the socialites call it that!)
Let me be the first to offer you kudos on your new season of Real Housewives. It’s obvious that you have your finger on the pulse of the ATL, holla! Only a native of our fair city would realize that the real housewives of Atlanta live in Gwinnett. As a proud Gwinnettian, I can tell that these women clearly eat at the trendiest of Atlanta’s restaurants: Ryan’s, Golden Corral, Shoney’s. Like myself, they obviously shop for couture fashion in Gwinnett’s hottest boutiques: Kohl’s, Fashion Bug, Burlington Coat Factory. Where else could you find hot labels like “She by Sheree and Wu Girls”? In plus sizes! No doubt they share in my frustration when trying to book a hair appointment at Gwinnett’s own Great Clips.
Finally, we have a season portraying the elite of our society. How often do we get to glimpse into a world where you can leave the gates of your upscale neighborhood and be inside a trailer park in less than five minutes. Now that’s the real ATL. California may have it’s gated community of Coto, but do they have someone running a brothel within those gates? Nope. They may have a couple of hookers, Joe and Tamra, but without a madam, they are just a low rent wannabe operation. That’s hardly what I consider upscale amenities.
Atlanta has been misunderstood for quite some time. For far too long we’ve been associated with old money, southern belles and exclusive social circles. When people think of Atlanta they think of women named Ansley, Betty Sue, Mary Louise and Sue Ellen. That’s hogwash. The real housewives of the ATL have names like NeNe, Sheree and DeShawn. They don’t name their children Ashley, Whitney, Samantha or Jackson. They return to their roots (no pun intended) and name their kids Tierra, Kairo, Kaleigh, Darius, and Jarren. If it’s not misspelled, it’s not a true southern name.
I, for one, am sick and tired of posers living in midtown and Buckhead claiming to be hip. Gwinnett is where the magic happens. If you aren’t OTP you truly aren’t anything. Oh, they serve their silly little Grey Goose martinis and soco’s with lime, but here in the real ATL we throw down Hennessy, Hypnotiq and 40 ounce malt liquors. They are so behind the times.
So, thank you again for representing us real housewives of the ATL.
Peace out!

Incredible! I can’t wait for this show to air. I liked the Real Housewives of OC. Hated NY. If any of you train wrecks watched the show, you would know that neither show has a cast full of married women and I’m glad Bravo is willing to allow viewers to see how other cultures live. Be it ultra-fab or not. The OC women nor the NY women were wealthy. However, they lived well. Were they beautiful, NO. They were VERY average looking WORKING moms! You sorry individuals. Your lives must really be pathetic, lonely and uneventful to sit and degrade women that either you dont know or have heard of from a friend of a friend. Try finding something more positive to do with your time and energy, you bunch of losers. Some of you are just racist trash, some of you appear to be bitter ex-employees or ex-friends who cant deal with the spotlight not being on “you”, the rest of you negative, miserable ppl are habitual HATERS! Or even, perhaps your bitter you were not chosen for RHOA. I know that Bravo interviewed sooo many women for this show, as a matter of fact, I know a few of the women mentioned in some of the blogs were interviewed for this show. Women that are attorney wives, CFO wives, radio personality wives….. BORING!!! So therefore were NOT chosen. Bravo I guess you went with what you had. I will watch! Ladies, I wish you ALL the best.

Why do people (Unbelievable) get so riled up, IT’S A REALITY SHOW GET OVER IT! This is a message board to post comments and share opinions at our own free will. If these women did not want to be scrutinized then they should have decided against airing their public lives on national television. Don’t get so defensive, stand up for what you believe in with some tact. It might make you appear to be a tad more intelligent if you freshen up on your vocabulary and develop your argument without using the word hater. Try a thesaurus, if you don’t know what that is, speak with your local librarian. Best of luck to you, it must be hard living in a world with such racist trash. Keep loving life!

I don’t know about you all but I’d like to see a show about women who have the following: full-time jobs outside the home, kids who they need to get places during their “non-eating” lunch hours, husbands who work 50+ hours a week, dogs that get walked at 3AM, cat litter that gets scooped every night before heading up to bed all while being expected to feel sexy and amorous! Oh wait… that would be too real for reality TV!

Has anyone LOOKED at the five women they chose? 3 blacks, 1 asian and oh yeah, the token blonde. Give me a break! I’m a native Atlantan, and this is in NO WAY an accurate representation of the women of the greatest city in the South. What an embarassment. I wonder if their husbands know…

I actually worked as a producer on this show…the Atlanta series…and ironically enough, the buzz surrounding the Atlanta cast is twice as much as the New York version. As a matter of fact, the show was not supposed to debut until Feb., but due to the buzz, we have moved it up to August.
Maybe this backlash is a local thing. I can give you audition information for season two is you think you would make a better candidate.

The number of responses to the blog does not mean that people are going to watch the show. It purely means that the producers were “duped” by this “want-to-be” famous women that have absolutely no substance, character, or purpose other than what they have created in their own limited minds.
Please, let us know when the auditions will be held for the next show. I personally will forward you the list of many successful women in Atlanta that will be a absolute joy to work with and make the show absolutely FABULOUS!!!!
And no, I will not be one of the names submitted. Just have had the pleasure of belonging to both social and professional organizations with them.

DeShawn provides unintentional comic relief on her website (www.deshawnsnowfoundation.com) with her poor command of grammar and punctuation (check out the press releases she wrote herself…yikes!) and her self-important biographical information (describing herself as “a prominent Atlanta business woman,” “Recognized by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate,” “president and CEO of EDJ Realty,” “an active philanthropist,” “noted Atlanta real estate agent” and having “amassed a business and philanthropic resume”).
She additionally plugs the show (and herself) and reveals her future ambitions:
“DeShawn Snow, wife of NBA player Eric Snow, is creating a name for herself. She is set to make her small screen debut on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which will focus on lives of five busy, glamorous Atlanta women.”
“DeShawn’s focus is to create a healthy balance of family, faith, philanthropy and her new interest, acting. As with all things in her life, she takes this new role seriously as she is trained in film, television, commercials and voice-over work. With the exposure of Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ DeShawn hopes to move her career to a national level in acting and public speaking engagements.”
“At the end of the day, when the red carpet has been taken up and the bright lights are off, DeShawn’s personal foundation is secure in her faith and family.”
Wow…how very impressive! (snicker)

Atlanta’s “social elite”? Are you serious? Yes, one of the women (I know for sure) has her husband’s money but I don’t think that would qualify her as an Atlanta Socialite! Okay, so you get invited to a few parties or events around town (mostly because your husband is a pro athlete) and have used his money to start a foundation, a business etc…But does that make one part of Atlanta’s “social elite”? Why didn’t Bravo find a Blanche or Tameika for that matter that comes from “old money” where living the privileged life was just the way things have ALWAYS been? The kind of life where you’re invited to a soiree because it would be a faux pas (on the host/hostess part) NOT to have you on the guests list because your family is such a powerful force in the city…OR you have come from/married into a family who has built some sort of an EMPIRE in Atlanta (or even one that is based here)…and you are RESPECTED because of your contribution to the city! Now THAT would be a more accurate portrayal of women from Atlanta’s social elite! Yeah, okay they could have thrown in one or two women from the neuveaux riche but come on!!! I’m sorry but there are hundreds of athlete wives/ex-wives spread around the country who are doing the same thing these women appear to be doing (spending their hubby’s money).
Since this is supposed to be reality television, hopefully the show will display the following (for one of the ladies in particular): Her full-time chef (she doesn’t cook), the entourage of maids (she doesn’t clean), the family members/nanny that take care of the kids and her “glamour squad” that comes in before the cameras start rolling to apply her make-up and “freshen” up her gorgeous weave! When you can pay people to do the normal stuff in life, it opens up one’s calendar quite a bit…So, you might as well feel productive by sitting on the board of this or that, start your own foundation (funded mostly by your husbands’ money) and have a “budding/aspiring” career to do whatever. A lot can happen as the result of being on a reality show…just look at Ms. New York (I Love New York) and all the other “socialites” whose acting/modeling/whatever careers began with a reality show. LOL! Good luck Shawnie!

Their fifteen minutes of fame will be very short lived. Regardless of how someone is discovered, you still have to have talen…..or perhaps these women will find new “sleeping partners.” (smile)
They all are at least in their mid-30’s and will soon be replaced by younger, smarter, more attractive competition in all facets of their lives.
Yeah! By the way, good luck to all of you. I’ve seen your husbands and ex-husbands around. They are on the prowl, too.

Is nice to see that some white people are still idiots!!! All these comments refering to these women as being ghetto just b/c they are black. Not all black people are ghetto, just like all white people are not “tpt” trailer park trash. This show is no different than the housewives of orange county or new york….all of these women are very similar in their lifestyles an motive, and that is to show off their wealth and make ignorant offensive comments towards the less priveledged. So, why are these women being judged more harshly than the women from the other two seasons….in my opinion they all lack some level of class. it’s never classy to talk about money are how much you spent on something for the sake of bragging. i say let your money speak for itself, you shouldn’t have to broadcast your wealth….people will take notice to it one way or another.

They are laughing all the way to the bank as you are losing precious hours of your much needed beauty sleep attempting to gain your three seconds of fame among bloggers. Is this what your lives have been reduced to? Is this the great lasting mark you want to leave on the world - self effacing remarks on an obscure message board of a show that has yet to air? Tis Tis!!! One of my friends is appearing on this show so I visited to see the other beautiful women that were cast. Instead I was assaulted by the same jeers of the ugly girls in grade school who attempted to magnify most trivial flaw of the more popular girls to advance their insecure agendas. These tactics are archaic and only serve to illuminate the shallowness of the writers. The effects are the same as they were then, pretty girls always go on merrily into their pretty lives while you ugly girls (although grown bitter women now), write or say ugly words where ever and when ever you can. At least there is a silver lining, I am proud you guys have traded in your slam books for pcs. YEA!!*

WOW! I just happened to catch the show after Project Runway.. I hadnt heard of it (I dont watch tv except a fw select shows and cnn/bio/etc) and so I was excited to see black women on the RH franchise— all of the women on all of the RH shows are ghetto, classless and trying WAY too hard to buy class. These women were no dif’t from the others- some were likable, but they were all what was expected— no major socialites like the NY group, which had two or three— but at least they serve their purpose to some extent. That said, whats more disappointing is how catty you bitches are down there in atl!!!! Why all the hate?! This comment section is far more ghetto and classless than the show.. shocking! Thank God I live in DC where my fabulousness and intelligence is appreciated, not scorned and hated on.. ugh!

Okay…ummm, i just saw the preview and…those were the TACKIEST rich women I have EVER seen. I myself have money but I never flaunt it. Its so conceited! Its people like that, that stereotype the wealthy even more. I admit that at times they seemed composed and proper, because I dont want to hate too much, but I think they need to keep some of that extreme attitude behind closed doors without cameras, because that does not say “class”, that says “my husband plays basketball and he picked my a$$ straight out of the hood so Im’a act spoiled and get wuteva the hell i want!” O and to “Better Tomorrows”….get real, you know these women wanted fame. It wasn’t a hard decision for any of them. They wanted attention for the money they have. That is not high class….that’s as low class as it gets….well at least with the way they acted it seemed low class. So, peace bitches, have fun watching dressed up trash spend they’re husbands money! I know I wont! Also, to “Shellz”, I’m not racist, I couldn’t be if I wanted to because I am many ethnicity’s including black. I was making this judgment souly on their personalities and the way they carried themselves, and they acted like spoiled children that needed to prove themselves 24/7! It was ridiculous and offended me that people with money have to act like that. None of my friends, or me, act spoiled. Yes we drive nice cars, but they aren’t brand new and we don’t act stuck up about it. We all are thankful and we recognize that we are privileged, but to flaunt it is just wrong. So do some good for the world and donate that money! AIDS in particular is important to me, because it is the modern day’s epidemic. We need to stop it and the foundations need money to do so. Real Housewives of Atlanta, i challenge them to gather some money and send it to ANY organization to prove me wrong, but it has to be a LOT. Because obviously they can afford it! Well, I’m done, I just had to let that out. I hope I didn’t offend anyone, I just wanted to share my opinion and hopefully let people know that not all “privileged” people act like stuck-up hood rats. Peace Bravo viewers.

I’m really disappointed in the Bravo/ATL community for such severe degradation of these ladies. So this may not be your lifestyle, culture or color but it definitely represents those of some in the Atlanta community. I think Bravo could have done a better job in casting a more diverse cast in all the RHW shows and believe that the current cast misrepresents Atlanta or it’s “surrounding metro area”, rather. I’m willing to give it a chance, but strongly believe they need to make some casting additions for the next season. Maybe an ITP Latina??? They’ll never please every Atlantan, but a truer representation is necessary for this show’s success. BTW, Flavor Flav got something right lots of you seem very familiar with his shows…LOL!

Okay I just saw the preview of this show tonight and OMG. I had no idea it was going to be like this. Who are these women? They make all black women look foolish, extravagant, wasteful, vain, ridiculous, and vain. That woman with the staff of five or six people just to run her house? An estate manager for a house? Puh-leeeze.
Seems to me most of these people are from other states, not Atlanta or Georgia. They moved to Atlanta to get in on the growing black culture there. What kind of values are these parents going to instill in their children? None?
Seems to me, from what I see on tv, that you give some people some money and they immediately throw it down the toilet with ridiculous extravagant living. They look like big fools, all of them.
And that woman with the mysterious sugar daddy… think he is married? She appears to be nothing but a kept w**. Apparently, she cannot actually sing, either.
Well, the funny thing is that these people will get their just rewards when all the world sees them exposed as the fools they really are, as I saw tonight.

Wow! These comments from bloggers are both disappointing and harsh. Remember, this show is for entertainment; it is not meant to be a documentary. For the record, I am a “Real Housewive’s” fanatic. I’ve watched all of the previous seasons. Many of the characteristics from OC and NY of the housewives are consistent with Atlanta. Catfights, women with strong personalities, real estate professionals, single-parents, unmarried housewives, etc. has apparently proven to be a recipe for success with this TV series.
I believe that many of the bloggers are definitely jealous. I’m glad that Bravo decided to cast a series that portrayed a cast that included women of color. As an African-American woman, it’s good to see women who look like me really enjoying life. Of course…the money is “new money”. Remember, blacks were enslaved for hundreds of years; hence, working for free. So what if they have husbands who made their money playing sports or singing/rapping. I’m certain many of the guys who responded are watching sports year-round. Therefore, you can thank yourself for supporting their lavish lifestyles. Don’t forget to thank your children, cousins, nieces and nephews for keeping Hip Hop, Rap and R&B artists “balling”. Most African-American kids I know can’t afford CD’s, unfortunatley they just get them “bootleg”.
Lastly, what’s up with the references to “Bankhead Courts”? Have you ever even been there before? Do you know any real people who lived there? Unfortunately, your getting your information about Bankhead from rap artists who never lived there. Many previous residents are college educated, professional, law abiding, tax paying citizens. For the record, I also worked at Popeyes in high school.
I realize this is just entertainment. It takes me away from the reality of real-life, everyday issues. I don’t have to think about the high gas prices, college tuition for myself and my son, taxes, and the bills that are stacking up on my table. I can enjoy watching and wishing…maybe one day.
The green-eyed monster even revealed its ugly head in me. I’m definitely more attractive than many of the housewives of Atl. Nonetheless, it’s their show and not mine. So I’ll just get over it, and suggest the rest of you out there with insecurities do the same!

I was so disappointed when I happened to see this last night. I like the RH franchise, however this is not a true representation of Black women. I was disgusted by the lack of class exhibited by these women. Also someone commented that they should be excused because they are “new money”. Guess what class and money have NO relationship!!! You can be poor or rich and have the same level of class. Also the business ventures that these women are involved in seem to be a joke. There are many serious Black female entrepreneurers in the the ATL area, but these were their choices???? I am so tired of Blacks and others perpetuating the “sista girl” stereotype. That is not a representation of myself or many other women that place education and independence first. It seems like all of these women are financially dependent on a man. Step it up people!!!

First of all, when the Real House Wives of Orange County or New York was on I don’t remember seeing any Black people or Asians. Why do you all think it’s okay for it to be all white people on these reality shows? It’s funny when the networks show black people doing something for the community and not killing people you all have a problem with it. People always want to see Blacks in a negative light. Get over yourself and stop hating. Atlanta is the “Black Mecca”. There are a lot of Black people doing well here. The show is going to be great. “Make your haters your motivators” Porsche Foxx-V-103

I bet some of you ppl are shaking in your white sheets…how pathetic are you to take that much time in your small life to hate on a city where the population is 61.5% African American…I’ll be sooo glad when you ppl stop bring your white asses to a city (that is ran by a black woman)and go live in the back woods somewhere with your cousin/wives and leave the big business to us good ole black folk…we got and we are running it…so stop holding on to the confederate Atlanta…its dead!! Welcome to the new Atlanta,where African Americans just might be your neighbors!! Damn I cannot stand white ppl, the same way they feel about us is the same way I feel about them…cr__kers!

I watched it and I was appalled at the show and the representation of Atlanta women. Ive been in metro Atlanta my entire life. Kim is a gold digger, plain and simple. It made me SICK watching her write that $68,000 check for her Escalade. I’m willing to bet that her “Big Papa” is a married man and she’s his kept woman. Pretty pathetic and I feel sorry for her daughters. Nene is just a spaz and it is quite obvious, she is married FOR the money. Sheree is just an arrogant woman and she has money BECAUSE of a celebrity divorce. Kim is awesome! I think she is down to earth and she really has a zest for life and she deserves everything she has. Deshawn..Well, I will have to watch more on her but I think that her house and her “staff” is just ridiculous and I feel she needs to stop complaining about being a single mom during BB season when obviously, the “nanny and governess” are the moms whenever they are around. Its a crap show but Ill watch it just so my opinons can be more vaidated.
My sister is law is a perfect woman for this show. My brother is an executive chef at one of Atlanta’s 5 star restaurants and while they have money, she works part time AND raises their 4 children under the age of 5. THAT is a REAL housewife of Atlanta!

OMG… I have never read so much hate in my life. I too am a professional independent black woman who is far from wealthy [in the eyesight of society] but I can’t understand why so much hate for the women or the network. It’s good that we live in a country that allows us to switch channels. And if these ladies whether the OC, NYC or ATL want to get on nat’l TV and make themselves look bad [totally subjective] that’s their perogative. It’s entertainment to me… Good Times isn’t realistic but I still watch it; neither are most of the other shows on TV but if it entertains me, I watch it. The ATL [and the surrounding suburbs, cities, etc…] is one of my favorite places to visit and I often find that there are a lot of phony “wannabe’s” all over the area but I still come back. Now, I will never live there but there is no place like the ATL.

She is disgusting. Whoever said money does not buy class is talking about this woman. I hope they get a good hard look at themselves after this show airs. She is supposed to be a Christian woman, highly active in the church, yet she won’t speak to the “little people” taking care of her household and children.

WOW! What a bunch of self-centered pieces of crap! It seems as though only ONE of them actually works while the rest are living off divorce settlements or their athlete husbands. And that DeShawn skank? When she said “We will only talk to the estate manager, we don’t talk to the other people”. . well those “OTHER PEOPLE” are going to be the ones RUNNING your household because you are too lazy and self-righteous to do it yourself! What a joke!

Just a bunch of w** who latched on to some NBA or NFL types and now think they are legions in their own minds. DeShawn Snow and Sheree Whitfield are the biggest no class bitches I have ever seen. Disgusting.

I enjoyed the RH of OC not so much NY. I think that they should have showed different nationalities of upper class women on the show because Atlanta is a melting pot of different races.

I knew there was going to be a problem when Black Women showed up on the show, I just knew it…I don’t think this show is any different than the other shows, OC and NYC as much as I love Kimora Lee Simons (cause she is entertaining) these women on RHW of Atlanta don’t even come close to Kimora’s craziness and I don’t hear people talking this bad about her. I will say I wish Bravo had chosen women in Atlanta. And for the record there have never been any show that did not have single women on it and the OC version had Jo who was a freakin girlfriend but she was not Black..So what is the REAL problem here, oh and by the way most of if not all of the women worked. I would more so say these people are folks that have made power moves, wheather they stole, cheated, borrowed, married to it, w** for it or worked for it, they got it and that’s the unfortunate and fortunate American dream…don’t hate go out and do it for yourself…P.S kudos to D.Blanks the photog extraordinaire for his cameo in the show, he was my photog too he’s amazing.

These women are nothing more than uneducated hood-rats with a sugar daddy. Why does everything in Atlanta have to be BLACK? If they want the city that bad, give it to them. Holla!

These women are nothing more than gold digging hood-rats with no education and bad hair extensions. You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the “gurl”

At least they took those god aweful housewives of NYC off the air. But what the heck is the difference betwen a governess & a nanny Mrs. Snow? don’t they both mean that you don’t take care of your own darn kids.

Sheree Whitfield hosted a party at the Fay Gold Gallery on April 20, 2008. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta filmed the event & there was other media coverage. Ms. Whitfield enlisted the services of Ardoin Enterprises to replace the event planner she fired on air. Ardoin Enterprises was notified in less than 12 hours to provide desserts & decoration for the dessert table & ice sculpture table. Ms. Whitfield was billed the following day for the bakery bill of $346.61 & an additional discounted charge of $50 for services rendered. Ms. Whitfield wrote a check for $386 which bounced and after repeated attempts to collect the debt has not paid to date (7/31/08). She has been notified via telephone & email & has been presented with various methods of payment including credit card but has failed to make good on her obligation. She is on the verge of being sued in small claims court for the debt owed

Ummm, Sheree Whitfield business Bella Azul was a failure. I don’t even know if she ever sold anything. Paying bills is never been a strong point. Shew as just a chick that got hold of NFL Player and made him take her into the “echelon”. She didn’t do jack to earn any of that money but have some babies by a NFL player then to divorce him. She is not a classy woman, she just got lucky like playing the lottery. anybody doing business with her should get their money upfront

Rene, I’m not sure if your “new money” comment was in response to what I stated. I definitely did not infer that “new money” is an excuse for ignorance.
A previous blogger mentioned that all these ladies had “new money”. My explanantion was simply to clarify why their money was new. The blogger insinuated that it was not as good as “old money”. The bottom line it all spends the same.

MAX - These women did not work for any of the money they have. They are all gold diggers who, if have a career at all, only achieved it by riding on their husbands coattails. Even the token white girl is complete waste of space. If any of these women turn out to be true philanthropists I will eat my words.

I watched the preview of this show with a mixture of sadness and disgust. As a Black woman who has been blessed to live what many would consider a ‘privileged’ life, there is one thing these “ATL housewives” make abundantly clear: money and privilege assures neither class nor moral fiber. I admit that I can appreciate a good reality show train wreck just as much as the next person- after all, it is what it is: pure entertainment value. But the preview special couldn’t even hold my attention for 15 minutes. The females on this show portray Atlanta’s Black society as exactly what I saw it to be before I happily moved (with absolutely no desire to return, even for a visit): ghetto-fabulous nobodies who happened upon a little cash and used it to create the illusion of being temporary Somebodies.
There has long been the saying, “If you can make it in New York, you can make it ANYWHERE.” Truer words have never been spoken. Likewise and the same for southern California and South Florida: you can’t fake successful life when the average 3-bedroom home starts at $300K. There is a REASON so many Black people flock to “ATL”: because it doesn’t take much to HAVE much- because the ‘much’ isn’t really worth much at all. In a place where you can buy a 4-bedroom home for $200K, sitting on a big plot of land that most owners don’t even have the resources (or knowledge) to maximize, it is quite easy to convince yourself that you are living high-post. But the minute those same “rich” people try their hand in South Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Manhattan, Orange County, & the like- the entire facade would all come tumbling down. Simply put, if you’re normally accustomed to Burger King, then yes- being able to afford steak at Ruth’s Chris can definitely make you feel like you’ve finally made it.
I couldn’t care less about the individual lives and circumstances of the women depicted on RHOA; the title of the show is actually quite accurate, all things considered. These females are showing their REAL selves for all to see and mock; it’s for them to deal with that they clearly have neither couth nor shame. The problem comes in when the world accepts them as the standard and example of what the true Black upper class really are. These women make a mockery of education, class, independent success, and the value of being a truly productive, contributing member of society. As Black women, they should be ashamed that they present themselves as little more than “baby mamas with pretentious (and questionably successful) hobbies”; as women, in general, they should be even more ashamed for their vulgar display of vapid personalities and catty, childish behavior.
Thank you, Bravo- for only allowing 30 minutes at midnight for this latest installment of a particular version of Black reality. READ: “particular”- not “all”. At least I can feel assured that the people who are actually able to use their respective power and opinions to affect this world will be asleep (or taking care of real business)- and will neither have nor take the time to watch. If they did, God forbid they consider the RHOA everytime they encounter those of us with true class and substance.
And for those of you quick to call “racism” and defend these so-called black “elite”? By very definition of the word, the true elite would never allow the cameras in to watch them at their very worst.

There is a REASON so many Black people flock to “ATL”: because it doesn’t take much to HAVE much- because the ‘much’ isn’t really worth much at all. In a place where you can buy a 4-bedroom home for $200K, sitting on a big plot of land that most owners don’t even have the resources (or knowledge) to maximize, it is quite easy to convince yourself that you are living high-post. But the minute those same “rich” people try their hand in South Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Manhattan, Orange County, & the like- the entire facade would all come tumbling down. Simply put, if you’re normally accustomed to Burger King, then yes- being able to afford steak at Ruth’s Chris can definitely make you feel like you’ve finally made it.
I couldn’t care less about the individual lives and circumstances of the women depicted on RHOA; the title of the show is actually quite accurate, all things considered. These females are showing their REAL selves for all to see and mock; it’s for them to deal with that they clearly have neither couth nor shame. The problem comes in when the world accepts them as the standard and example of what the true Black upper class really are. These women make a mockery of education, class, independent success, and the value of being a truly productive, contributing member of society. As Black women, they should be ashamed that they present themselves as little more than “baby mamas with pretentious (and questionably successful) hobbies”; as women, in general, they should be even more ashamed for their vulgar display of vapid personalities and catty, childish behavior.
Thank you, Bravo- for only allowing 30 minutes at midnight for this latest installment of a particular version of Black reality. READ: “particular”- not “all”. At least I can feel assured that the people who are actually able to use their respective power and opinions to affect this world will be asleep (or taking care of real business)- and will neither have nor take the time to watch. If they did, God forbid they consider the RHOA everytime they encounter those of us with true class and substance.
And for those of you quick to call “racism” and defend these so-called black “elite”? By very definition of the word, the true elite would never allow the cameras in to watch them at their very worst.

I watched the preview of this show with a mixture of sadness and disgust. As a Black woman who has been blessed to live what many would consider a ‘privileged’ life, there is one thing these “ATL housewives” make abundantly clear: money and privilege assures neither class nor moral fiber. I admit that I can appreciate a good reality show train wreck just as much as the next person- after all, it is what it is: pure entertainment value. But the preview special couldn’t even hold my attention for 15 minutes. The females on this show portray Atlanta’s Black society as exactly what I saw it to be before I happily moved (with absolutely no desire to return, even for a visit): ghetto-fabulous nobodies who happened upon a little cash and used it to create the illusion of being temporary Somebodies.

unreal! Typical chip on the shoulder women-the one who wants to take her ex to the cleaners with her ” I want to be living the same lifestyle or better.” who died and made her queen? these are some of the spoled B’s I have ever seen. And all they talk about is black this and black that. And Atlanta is the land of opportunity for africans. Of course-look at what is running down town atlanta and look at the shape it is in. And the lady with the 15K sf mansion and staff-wait till your NBA thug player gets hurt or is cut-bye bye money. Watch her blame it on white people not showing up for the nba games. No one watches the hawks any way baby!. These women make me sick.

These women are a very sorry excuses for so called housewives. Whatever happened to hard working executive wives with hardworking husbands with children. Not that I would want to be on tv, but a female commercial construction project manager with three children under 5 years old and living in the south with a male driven industry job. Now that is entertainment.

FYI Everyone!
Sandy Springs, Duluth, Alpharetta, etc. are considered cities that are part of the Metropolitan Atlanta area. Therefore, they can technically they be considered Atlanta. This is how most government agencies and municipalities in Georgia refer to the suburbs. I just wanted to enlighten the new people of our great city. Something must be right about Atlanta because poeple are flocking here from everywhere.

After watching this show I must say that if this is what people really think of the real housewives of Atlanta, then I am moving the hell out of town asap. This show is absolutely ridiculous. This Kim person and NeNe are a complete waste of time and any energy. How completely shallow and self absorbed. As for Kim, I pity your children, the example you are showing them is if you prostitute yourself out as a single woman with a sugar daddy to take care of you, then you are living the good life. OMG !

Judge least you be judged. They may not be a true rep for African Americans, but neither are the negative stereotypes that the media and individuals perpetuate. I am an African-American woman with a degree from Spelman and I don’t bring the baggage that one of you associated with black women. I’m from Atlanta and didn’t marry a thug or a NBA player. I married a civil engineer who has never been arrested and has always been there as a great father. The problem with ignorance is that it spreads faster than intelligence. Before you associate these women( one who is white and is trying to marry her married sugar daddy)with all African-American women living in Atlanta do your research. Even if you are too lazy and all you want to do is blog keep in mind the wife of the democratic nominee for president. There are many African-Americans who don’t blame Anglo-Americans for their problems; they blame ignorance. However historically Native Americans didn’t have as many problems as they do now until “settlers” came to America. Money does not buy class or an education. You can go to school and still come out obtuse.

I am not sure why everybody is hating on these ladies. I admit not all of these women are married (just 2 not 3) and the term housewife is definitely not being used correctly. But this is a format that this show has stuck with since the OC wives. If you recall in the OC Jo wasn’t married, neither was Tammy and neither was that cougar one (who was supposed to be a Christian but drank and acted like a desperate w** every chance she got). Oh, let’s not forget Bethanny from NY housewives who wasn’t married either. So come on people this is nothing new. But all of a sudden it is an issue. Think about it people, are we giving this edition a chance or are we hating for personal obvious reasons? Not sure and really don’t care. What I do know is I will be tuning in to show support for my sisters the same way I did with the other housewives even though they make themselves look silly sometimes. But hey, who doesn’t. The other housewives sure did!!

That stuff was so fake. Sheree said she had all that full time staff. Those people were working for free to get some camera time. Its just her and the kids in that house now that show is wrapped. I saw her at the W last week with a damn prostitute!! The girl is slumming now. She says money is no object, but she asked for everything for free and bartered with tv time for gratis. Lisa is the only one who really runs a successful business. And as far as Deshawn, I went to a party at her house previously, it was lovely during Christmas, catered and everything, about 300 people and she didn’t serve a lick of alcohol because they don’t believe in that but all of the sudden in the show she has a house manager going to get liquor for her family. These Rolls Royce at the party was rented from Atlanta Luxe, as well as the black Escalade and the Denali. Hilarious!

It is unfortunate how pervasive theracist comments are on this board. Clearly, most of the posters here are not at all familiar with the RH franchise.
In the prior installments (OC and NYC), virtually none of the women represented the so-called “elite”. In the O.C. version, you had a former playboy bunny who married a (bitter) professional baseball player, a young Latina woman who was being “kept” (her own words) by a white man 15 years her senior, an obnoxious insurance agent who was the poster child for declasse, a blonde “bimbo” who was a former teen mother who married a GM of a car dealership and finally the second blonde “bimbo” who was a single mom (and invests most of her energy into trying to come across as an ideal “trophy” wife w/little substance), but then marries into wealth. Not to mention, none of the OC white women apparently graduated from a respectable university, if at all (the lone exception was the young Latina woman who went to UC-Irvine).
In the case of NYC, all but one of the women (the single woman who was a chef) married into money. Most of the ladies were indeed “wannabes” (esp. the two blonde women on the show) Trust, if they truly represented “old money, elite” New York, they would not DARE be caught on a reality TV show.
Simply put, the Atlanta show is very consistent with the rest of the RH franchise - it just happens to feature mostly African American women (which seems appropriate given that the first two series did not have any AAs, and this show is intended to represent a predominately Black city, Atlanta).
The major drawback is RH-Atlanta likely will reinforce stereotypes of affluent African American women as being dependent on Black male entertianers for upward mobility (which is far from reality; probably of all racial groups, African American women are the MOST likely to be self-made professionals/entrepreneurs due to a myriad of reasons). Interestingly, society doesn’t assume that five white women on a reality tv show represent the bulk of upper class white women. However, in the case of African Americans, stereotypical television portrayals are very often generalized to all Blacks, unfortunately.

I’ll also add… It is interesting that when white women (particularly most of the former “housewives” on the OC and NYC shows - I am sure the “Countess” from NYC married the “Count” b/c of his good looks and charm. LOL) marry for money and “status” very little is said. Conversely, if an African American woman and/or other woman of color marries a more affluent man, she is immediately villified, and labeled a “gold digger”. Why the persistent double standard?!

The difference between the Housewives on OC and NYC shows is that they are not the MOST IGNORANT women they could find in the race they represent. The housewives of Atlanta are the most ignorant and a true embaressment to me as an Africian American women.Doesn’t matter whether they are gold diggers are not, but they are truly IGNORANT!

I watched this program and I must say I was very disappointed. When I think of the south I don’t envision women of this calibur. I always pictured true southern belles whose roots originated from the south and where tradition was highly respected and carried on from generation to generation. None of these women depict those characteristics. I do feel that they have misrepresented Atlanta in a huge way. It’s unfortunate because I know the true southern belles that have passed on and have left respectable family members are turning over in their graves wondering who in the hell are these women and what have they done on their own to give baack to the community and what traits have they passed on to their families. The name of the show should not be what it is but rather “How Much Do I Cost My Husband & SugarDaddy”…that sounds more appropriate. I’m not a hater by far because I am a single mother and I work very hard for my children and if these women have found a man to fund their needs and desires more power to them. The only words of advice I offer is that i sure hope they’ve stacked their chips because when marital problems hit and the looks begin to fade and the money runs low that’s when relity will really hit. check back with these women in 10-15 yrs from now. Wonder where they’ll be??? Now that’s the reality. Where are they headed and not where they are now….

Sorry Nicole I have to disagree. I love the show. I am a working wife in the ATL (Cascades).
I think a lot of you are negative because the case is majority Black. We have watched the crazy Drunk wives of the OC for some time know and I admit I like the show. But it appears on all of the shows you have women who might not have married for love but money instead. The facts is when you are married to a man that has some wealth you can afford a very different life style.
These women work so I think the Calibur is average, for what you find in this city. If you want to see women who come from some type of long southern roots (would the show be entertainment?????
I only wish they had one women from the Cascades we keep it real in our houses, husband, children and Luxury Vehls (Ask somebody!)

Ladies of ATL… Don’t worry; we will not judge you from the show no more than we will judge ladies from the OC or NYC because of the Real Housewives series. I have been to all three and have meet the cream of the crop [as well as the not so cream of the crop] of each city. I hate to dissappoint but producers aren’t interested in subdue, boring lifesytles… they are looking for drama. I have so many family members and friends who live in the ATL area… heck most of my graduating college class move there and still live there.

People GET A GRIP!!! 1st this show is just entertainment. 2) Who cares if some of the women do not reside in Atlanta. Most of the ITP elite would not really have the time for a reality show. Besides their cities are still considered part of metro ATL. 3) Every season of RH never has shown true housewives. The majority of the cast from every season has worked and there have been single women on every season. 4) Quit with the racist overtones. There are tacky, gold-digging women in every race! 5) These women are no less easy on the eyes than the prev cast members. None of the women on the past seasons were all that attractive. But many Whites are conditioned to think big fake boobs and bleached hair is the epitome of “beauty” But my dog has a prettier face than the majority of the White cast members from prev seasons. 6) Quit hatin and have a good night.

I have to agree with some of the others THIS IS JUST ENTERTAINMENT! Why are you sooooo MAD? I’m sure the women from OC and NY knew that the women who represented their city or their house wives or WHATEVER, did not represent everyone,just the way they thought it should be. To me this is just SAD! I’ll be willing too say probally most of the negative comments on this blog came from people who set up in church and call their selfs Christians. God does not like racist. Remember what happened to Miriam, Moses sister who made fun of him because he married a Ethiopian woman? God was ANGERED and Miriam became leprous. Calm down, just like some other people said. “Just don’t watch it” if it upsets you so bad. Take a pill, move on , chill go to a racist meeting do something that entertains YOU.

They were average women with a husband who made more money than the average guy. Also I never even watched an episode of The Real Hiusewives of Atlanta. The Real Housewives of Atlanta is just like the other two shows O.c and Ny. People who are saying such negative things are just being very racist and the black people who are saying negative things about the show , you need to stop being so negative.

Seriously, its makes Atlanta look like all we have is a bunch of black people here and no other race!——————————————————- WoW Jennifer you such a racist!
Did OC.OR NY have a black woamn on there cast ? No are there any black women in OC or NY yes. The whole purpose of having the show in Atlanta is to have a black cast. The whole concept is racist . There should be a mixed cast in every city they tape in . But to stae that they should add another white or another asian just shows how much white people hate to see black people acheive financial success. Also there were no elite housewives and society members in any of the previous Real oc or ny so why point it out now that they are in Atl? Just stop hating and get a life and a better job!

The other shows, OC and NY did not have any black, asian or latina women. Why is it that the ATL cast needs more balance? I didn’t assume that the other cities didn’t have black women living there. The concept of the show is to find a group of women who are friends and their lives connect, therefore there is a storyline or plot to follow. I guess the show represents our country. This would mean that blacks are generally friends with blacks, caucasian w/ caucasian, etc.

Do you haters want to see a whole show of dull, humorless, homely wives like George Foreman’s wife? Ewwwwwww. Double ewwwwwww.

coming from a native atlantan, sugarloaf is not “high society” atlanta. its not even atlanta. they should be filming in older areas, showing actual atlanta society members (midtown, downtown, buckhead, brookhaven, west paces ferry, vinings) as opposed to newer money subdivisions. it isnt the same idea. but i’ll watch anyway bc its entertaining. and i like that it shows powerful african american, asian women. all people with money arent white, and thats how it should be.

Pretty positive that most of these remarks are coming from blacks. But it’s funny that the same show was filmed about orange co. wives and New York but that was ok how they made themselves look with their wealth because of their skin color. Well I say to the Atlanta Wives “Rock on sistas”. I’m proud of you. If we can tolerate ignorant, gold teeth baby mamas etc surely we can tolerate hard working African americans who enjoy their hard work to gain fame and the wives who basically take there share and re-invest it. People learn to love and embrace the positive and stop trying to pick apart everything. Because 5 of your tax returns couldn’t amount to any amount of their wealth.

She obviously did something right to get where she’s at and asked Deion Sanders wife. You gotta keep doing what you did before to keep them. She has the gym body. These women gonna keep up their appearance. There’s a woman around every corner waiting to take their man. Even if their single there’s nothing wrong with beauty. OH! Oh! maybe next time they’ll film the real housewives of the WIC & foodstamp program.

I love RHW of OC. I love to see women running their own business and living life lavishly. But come on Atlanta if you live there than you know that it has a high population of blacks that makes their money in entertainment. There is nothing wrong with that.So please stop with the race thing. Maybe they were the only ones to apply. Most housewives are very busy and can’t do the t.v thing. Maybe they want to prove to the world they are more than gold diggers. Whatever the reason bravo approves of it. Those Black women are not fat. Some women love themselves. Im pretty sure they have enough money to go get lipo if they would like. So if you don’t like it turn off your t.v. For the woman talking about there clothes, if you didn’t notice those are the same clothes rich white women wear lol! And for the race comments about the show being called the real baby mamas of Atlanta, maybe they should have guest appearances like Sarah Palin’s daughter now thats a baby mama. lol!

These women seem awfully shallow to me. Which of them have accomplished anything by their own merit? Meaning, in order to be successful they had to use an athlete’s money or a man’s (in one of the women’s case) who won’t acknowledge her publicly(sounds like a mistress to me) money to make hem “socially elite” and acomplished. I am still tripping off the wife of the NBA player who said “she knew she was destined to be somebody.” She calls herself a “somebody” because she married a professional athlete? It really shows how low their standards really are. That Sheree chick thinks she is fine and looks like a hawk in the face. What real man would want her? She’s gross in my opinion. I’m not hating on the sista’s but if the preview is indicative of what’s to come, God help those poor disillusioned black women. They just might make us all look bad in the eyes of those who don’t understand.

Also Sheree appears to be angry at the world…Did her husband leave her for a younger women??? Ms. Snow is too snooty for me! She stated that she and her husband never talk to the staff…They only talk to the person in charge…how special (real) is that??? With all the money that they all state they have they all need to hire a personal trainer and drop about 20 lbs. to look as good as they think that they are.

Kim, I strongly suggest you spend some of your sugar daddy’s dough on human hair wigs. The synthetic pieces you wear are too obvious, too shiny, and cheap looking. Do you honestly think you are fooling us into thinking that is your natural hair? I does not even look like extensions——just a really cheap acrylic wig. Look for yourself how bad it looks on television. I’d be embarassed.

Only One housewife lives inside the perimeter of Atlanta. Actually she lives in a beautiful house brought forth by her husband, in a beautiful exclusive area of Atlanta. The house is listed in his name only!!! I would know because I live on Long Island Drive an the only difference is most of the residence on Long Island Drive have true class and elegance to never show up for such a desperate attempt of showing that I am a successful person and need to flaunt it. Sheree may be the next one booted out of Sandy Springs, GA. This first episode made you feel that there are know real wealthy elite but football/entertainers with new money. RealSouthern Women do not flaunt there wealth to the public….They are the public and socialites of Atlanta and the people of Atlanta know their wealth. Thank you real wealth of Atlanta for keeping the secret.

How disapointing :( The casting producers for this show got it totally wrong! Although maybe one of two of the women seem respectable, they are not a true representation of Atlanta. How about first choosing ladies that live in the city of Atlanta, and not 40 minutes away in a suburb? Next, most of them are not even housewives! They are money hungry single chics looking to score a sweet life off of some man. Atlanta, the land of opportunity for black women? Um how about the land where black women mooch off of wealthy men and then sit on their butts? The casting is sad, and the superficial, meaningless lives many of these women lead is even more sad. My advice ~ try again with a more diverse cast that represents what the CITY Atlanta is really about - successful, educated women who worked their butts off for that hot car and Buckhead mansion?!

I swore I wouldn’t comment but I got to the end and couldn’t resist. I read all of these classist, ignorant, racist, and occasionally thought provoking remarks for the same reason we are all fascinated by horrible television.
It’s entertaining.
I watched the show tonight and thought it was pretty funny. I actually wished it was some sort of marathon. I love those.
Black folks, stop trying so hard to prove yourself to whites. We know our people and I would venture that if this post was an exclusive one we would feel a lot more comfortable laughing at ourselves. Even the Jack and Jill’s of the group have to know someone like NeNe. Stop trying so hard to prove to people who don’t give a damn about you that you’re not her. We get it. You’re not like them…those other black folks.
Please.
Be proud of yourself for who you are. Be brave enought to embrace the parts of yourself that you refuse to acknowledge in the company of others. You know, your family reunion self. Celebrate your successes, but not at the cost of your brothers and sisters. This us vs. them attitude will be the next great plague of our community. We’re cool folks. We’re inventive, creative and always interesting. Love it, laugh at it.
And really, the show could be funny.
Sadly, it’s just not always that easy, is it? White people love to do what we do, say what we say (years after it’s cool)and be where we are.
That could be a good thing.
Except, there’s always that guy…or guys. That skinny redneck dude, hanging around where the black folks are yelling “n——” from his confederate-flag-covered-Pinto. I think I saw him a few lines above here.
Don’t worry. He’s just mad cuz he’s stupid.

These women are a joke. And why isn’t this show featured anywhere on Bravo’s website? Apparently they agree. If it weren’t for their husbands and boyfriends, these women wouldn’t be living the high life. “Housewife” has little to do with this show. They all have personal assistants, maids and nannies to take care of their house and kids. Where’s the reality? Out the window.

As Black women we need to support each other. I don’t think this is about being “hood”, “Ghetto”, “class”, or any other negative terms that was used to describe these women. I live up north, but I have visited ATL many times. I LOVE this show. I have DVR’d this show and watch it many times. Lets celebrate, Black women (other than Oprah or George Bush’s w**) being on tv.
YES, we all have somethings to improve upon, but lets support the first tv show with an all Black cast. Lets get rid of the “crab basket” mentality.
BTW-There are so many negative comments on this blog, its hurtful to Black people overall. Im 28y/o Black woman, engaged to a Black man, CEO of (2) companies, has an Exec MBA from Wharton (friends with Donald Trumps son),. —-See, all caliber women can relate to this show.

BTW-There are so many negative comments on this blog, its hurtful to Black people overall. Im 28y/o Black woman, engaged to a Black man, CEO of (2) companies, has an Exec MBA from Wharton (friends with Donald Trumps son),. —-See, all caliber women can relate to this show.
People be more supportive. God Bless and take care.

Mrs CEO - you are a lowlife, stank hefer. As a matter of fact, any of you that would watch this trash, be friends with this trash, or strive to live like this trash, should be beat down with a tree branch. Black people have no standards and will accept anything…wink, wink…

These ladies belong in Dahlonega, GA where they still PAN FOR GOLD !! Oh that is right, they pretty much live up there already!! Borrow a pan from your rent a cook.
Note to ladies….people that are truly wealthy do not have to tell people they are wealthy.
I hope that one lady with the clothing buys some blue lights for her sale at K-mart…fashionista…THINK NOT!! LOL

What I don’t understand is why the producers of this show couldn’t find “real” elite women. This has absolutely nothing to do with race, but I don’t know why these low class women were chosen for this kind of show when there are so many other elite black women in Atlanta. It almost seems like this was done as a joke. Orange County and New York rocked! Atlanta just makes no sense.

whether you are black or white, everyone has skeletons. You can rich or poor life isn’t always peachy..the show is for entertainment purposes only. If the real socialites would not do a show like Bravo then shut up and sit down because you had your chance to represent Atlanta and Bravo chose the next best thing. Black and White women strip so what? Black and White women are baby mama’s so what? Black and White celebrities are not married but got pregnant so what? Black women had their children and White women either aborted them or sent them off to boarding school so what? Black people do just what white people do whether you have money or not. White rich people have so many skeletons it’s pathetic. White people sleep around with their relatives, their wives friends, they steal on the down low… Now you see Black or White no one is better than the other it’s just each one has a different way of doing things….Black people stand behind one another that’s why division exists amongst us. Black people can’t wait to tear the other one down…and whether you are Black or White we all have stories to tell and they all are good!!!!!!!

Just some information that I know to be a fact for all you interested viewers!!!
In a former life, Ms Kim Zolciak used to be an LPN in a nursing home in Lawrenceville. She had quite a scandalous affair with a not so discrete physician that was married. The kicker: she was nine months prego! I guess this Atlanta pop tart likes her men married!!

Kim,
If you want a real stylist, let me know. She is a native Atlantan but lives in New York City. She is discreet when working with clients but access to the most unique clothes, handbags, shoes.
The clothes aren’t cheap but they would be couture and one of a kind.

what I want to know is-what the heck is posessing these stu pid white girls to go after black men? And then having pre marital babies with them. What are there parents teaching them or are they being dis owned? Most of them are fat and ugly but what the heck is driving them to turn their bakc on their race AND-why is it that every bi racial baby takes the BLACK side? Obama hates WHite people by saying “Typical White woman” about his grandmother-hardly knows his two dads who took off on him after he was born (a noble African Trait) and he takes the black side. Or is it the MUSLIM side since he lived most of his life in MUSLIM Indonesia.

I’m not sure why this black and white issue is going on because I’ve told you once before no race is better than the other. I’ve been on both sides black and white, rich and poor,wealthy and elite ( socialite ). I’m not sure where some of you are getting your information that the Elite has class, yes maybe in public but not behind closed doors. I’ve been to Elite parties where sharing each others wives and husbands, sons and daughters is common. I’m not sure if you’re aware of how many husbands in the Elite circle who has illegitimate children by trashy women. Wake the FK up our lives is far from a fairy. It’s filled with lies, deceit, sex, adultery etc. You name it, it happens. The Elite flash their money amongst each other because most of the billionaires compete on how many expensive toys they can buy so speaking from experience they do flaunt thier money. I’m not sure why everyone thinks that the white men are role models. We are experiencing more white divorces, more single white women and more white men not taking care of their children and those are facts. What I’ve realized about black women is that they don’t take no st compared to us white women who sit around letting a man dictate our lives and losing our identity in the process and when they decide to leave with their young bimbo’s they leave the wife with nothing. Also, our wealthy Elite husbands are always away from home on business trips which basically means he’s off creating another family around the world while we’re sitting home like dummies. Please don’t get it twisted about the Elite. Elite means, sneaks with money……

this is the most narcissistic show ever…..a housewife is one who actually cooks for her family, drives her children to school, teaches them values and morals, and so on. These women have the ability to purchase mansions (they cost 20% of the CA and NYC market) and are “married” (used loosely) to sports stars and “silent Big Papa” who support their lifestyle. Quite frankly as a woman these are useless women (as depicted on the show). Anyone can hire out help to raise a kid. So if they do have more value - charity work - let see what they actually do. Otherwise they are a joke and an insult to actual women and men who are real spouses to raising a true family.

One would have to be quite ignorant to take a show like this seriously. It certainly has accomplished what it set out to do…create a lot of buzz to ensure people will tune in. Anyone with more than $5 in their pocket is astute enough to know that none of these women would be remotely considered wealthy elite, what an insult to the generous Atlantans of all colors who quietly give so much time and money to our local arts and charities, and who run successful companies that employ many of us. Wealth is net worth, not how much your husband’s paycheck is. That paycheck could evaporate next week and all the bling would end up in the pawn shop or on Craigslist.

These women are pathetic. It goes to show that all the money in the world cannot buy class. It is sooo obvious that many of these women aren’t even “rich”. No offense to Atlanta, because it is a great city, but the Cost of Living in Atlanta does not even compare to other areas of the country such as the OC, NYC, SF, etc. Therefore, it’s takes less to live, especially out in the burbs. Case in point, Nene, Lisa, et al…their houses I could afford today if I lived in Atlanta and I’m only a 27 year old making between 150-200k yr. By no means and I rich and I have a long WAY to go before I could even call myself rich. I read someone where else that this Kim character…yes character…is dating a MARRIED real estate tycoon in the Ga area. His name appeared in her phone (text messages that read missing you and miss you) during the second episode when she was outside phoning NeNe. I guess she’s busted. It’s very sad that being a gold digger and dating MARRIED men are all she has to show her two daughters whom I’m sure look up to her. They’re both gold diggers in training all because of mommy. Most of these women, they are not successful and lucked up by marrying a guy with “some” money. Outside of Lisa, they all appear to have no ambition or even intellect. As a black women, I’m offended that Bravo would even pick these black women to represent us…and yes, they are representing us given the lack of other shows on tv that attempt to present us in a good light (i.e., do not portray negative stereotypes). Sorry to say if Bravo’s purpose was to do this, they totally missed the boat on this one. All black women do not make it big by marrying athletes, many work 3x harder given our gender and race to make it up the corporate ladder and prove ourselves to be successful entrepreneurs, tycoons, etc. It’s sad that Bravo could not represent the true Black Elite Women in Atlanta properly. Hey, I guess in this day and age, it’s all about ratings.

OMG I am late to this show, just watched it ‘cause nothing else was on. Well so far I think these women are tacky, ghetto, and out of touch with reality. No matter how rich these ladies are and the good deeds they may perform, charity events they may sponsor (more like beg for our money) and celebrity like parties; it shows how poor they are morally, emotionally and spiritually. I refuse to watch this show because it exploits the rich, like most reality shows. Kim- speaks a good game as far as morals, but doesn’t follow up or show morality. Sheree and Lisa are true gold diggahs- women have come so far, don’t get me wrong- I’m NOT a Hatta! But, it is obvious why they married. DeShawn- lazy fat bratty wife, God bless her marriage! NeNe- is she New York’s Sista (Flavor of Love). Can you say Ghetto!! She is super GHETTO- you can take the girl out the GHETTO, but the WOMAN should grow and adapt to her new environment. Now don’t get me wrong- again, I am only going on what these women are showing me- and so far they have showed me nothing. I am a Southern Girl and our favorite phrase is “Pretty is as pretty does”.

i really enjoyed watching the housewives of orange county…once they got to new york it turned into a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these ladies are looking more foolish & snotty. i know that is the purpose of tv, but come on. i know some rich people at there and they don’t even come close to acting like this. i have never seen so much immaturity and people so worried about gossip & looks & money more then there own children. especially when nene took her son to visit a college..come on it was about your son not you. Sheree is more worried about her settlement in her divorce and petty talk about people, then in my opinion on being a mom. does deshawn even think about what would happen if her husband cannot play ball anymore?? do you need someone to even run your house if you do not work???? kim…maybe big papa isn’t going to be seen because he is married..acting like a bitch over using water twice to clean the knife that is used to cut the cake. she told her daughter to be appreciative of the party, how about how she acted…please!!!!!!!! now i actually think lisa is the only one on the show with any sense. i cannot believe that bravo has not found anyone with respect and morals to be on the show…but then again you probably will not have the ratings.

All of these women w/ the exception of Lisa are shallow beyond belief. Those married to athletes need to consider their life after their husbands are done with sport, when they have to get real jobs, as they’ll likely have anything left in the bank when they retire from sports.
Kim is the most shallow - when her looks fade in a year or two, ‘Big Daddy’ will replace you with a another 25 yr old blond; she’ll be searching for someone else to fund her lifestyle. Did you see when she bought a $69K Escalade? Not a second thought about why, or did she really need it? She’s an impetulant child - “I want it now!”. when her looks fade and boobs sag she will be the first to get plastic surgery (if she has not already).
Sheree - “a 7 figure divorce settlement” - how about doing something that says you can take care of yourself? Make some effort to show you’re just not some parasite. Providing for your kids is one thing, but that 7 figure number is so you can spend lavishly on yourself - don’t kid anyone.
DeShawn - how many folks do you need to run your house? How about doing some of this yourself?
I’m just amazed at what comes out of their mouths - they are a laughing stock and they don’t even realize it.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? This women are PATHETIC. Kim - you are the most desperate one. Your say your girlfriends don’t know your BIG PAPA is must likely because he is a married man. Your fake hair, your shallow personality and annoying ways makes you such a turn off. NeNe - GETTHO is the only way to describe you. Deshawn - will it kill you not to be such as snub. It seems apperant you came from nothing and now you think are a queen because your husband has a few buck. Sheree - you are the proverbial fake bitch. Lisa, you seem to be the most normal and less annoying one. Keep annoying us please.

The comments have nothing to do with the wives being mostly black. If they have no class whatsoever should we be saying they do out of political correctness? I cannot bribe my black husband with ANYTHING to watch these ridiculous women even for 1 minute (I myself saw 2 episodes while waiting for someone and having nothing to do). The most laughable are not even the shallow Kim or very ghetto NeNe (I actually liked her - she is real though I detest black women acting “black”, why not to just be normal?) but the wives of professional athletes - they would be nowhere without their physically gifted husbands. Like DeShawn -she is pathetic.

So Who is this Lee Najjar?
Is he “Big Papa” or not?
There’s conflicting reports that he’s dating Kim. Where’s the facts? Surely someone’s coming forward with some sort of information…
And surely his wife is having a crappy week after all this speculation! How embarrassing to find out your husband is cheating with a gross, white trash chick like Kim.
Kim’s probably chain smoking as we speak and stressing about this. Probably hoping all this publicity doesn’t get her CUT OFF!!!!

Kim is nothing more than a high paid prostitute. Sherre is the one at the beginning of each episode that says people are intimidated by her success. I wonder if she has ever been successful at anything other than marrying and divorcing a rich man? Give me a break! What a useless sack of skin. None of these women have any class. They just married money. None of them speak correct grammar. I wonder if any have achieved higher education beyond high school. I have never seen a more pathetic group. They all seem to be grasping for some sort of way to prove themselves to the world and show that they have the ability to shoulder this wealth that has fallen into their laps. They are failing miserably.

Lisa – You are the only bright light on the show.
NeNe- With a name like that….you can’t help but to be you. You’re ghetto, but you keep it real.
Kim – You are just worthless and not really worth mentioning. Your days are numbered with Big Papa…I’m sure. And for God Sake get a better wig. You look like a 2nd rate porn actress.
DeShawn – Please make your way to LA Fitness immediately…preferably not the one I go to, or better yet CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE! You are FAT and that is not cute. I’m sure your make-up artist has to bring a suitcase to work on your face. YOU ARE NOT ALL THAT. And GOGGLE you’re azz…please, I’d never heard of you before the show. Who are you again?? Sheree – OMG! You are the biggest ho on the show. You think your behavior is cute and classy, but I promise you it is classless. The same comment goes for you…You and Deshawn must use the same make-up artist. Were you in the same beauty contest as the “Run Away Bride” cause both of you bitches have a face like a horse! You need to find a slice of humble pie real quick. You are an attractive woman, but your attitude makes you look ugly. If you open up another store, I will make it a point not to shop there.

I think this show is not what the real housewives are suppose to be. It started in Orange County with nice married women and 2 single women. Laura who found a husband and Joe it wasn’t her time she was simply too young to be tied down. Thye were working women, businesses, took time for there children and there mates. Then it came down to the hellish women from New York who thinks the world revolves around them. They really didn’t show real housewives either. Now they have come to ATL and found beautiful women who are supposed to be housewives. They only showed a split scene of DeShawn’s husband and Lisa’s husband they showed nothing of them inter acting with the kids and day to day family life like they did on Orange County. You saw everything. All they are showing with our Ladies is how getto NeNe can get when things don’t go her way. And putting all Shree’s business in the street. We don’t need to know that she is trying to ge 7 figures from Whitfield. what she really should have been doing is taking time with that little girls hair. The money she was spending on those shoes use it on the kids. I thought that was sinceless. Kim well we saw how much she thinks about her kids she spent $2000.00 dollars on a nasty cake she had flown in. Now what since does that make. Real housewives don’t waste money on things like that we cook or like she said we go to Publix or Sam’s club. Let’s be real those women need to get together and demand that they show the realness of what there day to day life. They are making NeNe and Sheree seem so Ghetto Fabulous. I live in the Sugarloaf area of Gwinnett Cty and believe me we are nothing like this. Now I see why Monique (Chuck Smith wife formerly of the Atlanta Falcon) didn’t want any part of this. wow!!! Ladies lets do better.

Oh!! I’m sorry I forgot about Lisa. Lisa is the only one on the show who is real. When I say real ms lady got out there with HER HUSBAND and played golf for some family time together. They were dressed professionally when they were conducting there meeting. She was professional when she took Jazz Pha out looking for a home. Even though she was friends with him. She didn’t get off track. When she was sick she was just that sick she show how she looks without her make up (still very pretty) just realy. Now I know they haven’t show there baby yet and I her she has her other 2 boys that could come on the show. But she looks to be the mom that where a lot of hats. Get up and run around taking the kids to and from school come back get dressed for the meeting and come back and meet husband for an evening out without blinking an eye. Now that’s a wife and a mom. You do you Lisa

Dag there’s a bunch of haters on here! Ha! I LOVE this show and wish it were on all the time, rich btches are hilarious to watch and since I don’t have the money they have at least I can watch them spend it! And Kim might look a little tranny but the btch can spend and your know ur jealous! Don’t hate cause-it ain’t trickin if ya got it…if u don’t like the show then don’t watch it! Or better yet watch it so ratings go up and I can KEEP watching it! I may not LOVE the girls but they are entertaining and give me a little break at the end of my busssssy workin momma life! OH, and heres my input: De Shawn is effing annoying as HELL, I find myself hoping like hell her ol man is banging someone else for HIS sake,Kim is cool, I like her and if Big Poppa is real then u go girl, u found the right one that’s for sure! Sheree is eh, aiight I guess but I’m not sure what she talks about when she says successful cause she’s tryin to bank in on her ex husbands money and she should bring herself down off the high horse she’s been riding but maybe thats her survival tactic…Lisa is awesome, she’s beautiful, has a good man (it seems) and works hard and NeNe is effin hilarious, I wanna see her box Sheree LOL! And I like her husband even if he is an old b******* he seems to love his wife and makes that money honey! GAME ON! ha!

I agree with many of the comments previously posted. I housewife is a MARRIED woman whom takes care of her children and home. Some of these individuals are too busy spending most of their day attempting to LOOK GOOD…for example…Sheree. It’s funny how she thinks that she looks hot to be 38 but truth is…she looks old enough to be my mother and I’m 30. GO FIGURE!!!! I really think that Lisa is a good role model, Deshawn seems fake, Kim appears to be a follower, and NeNe…she keeps it REAL. Yes…some make think that she is ghetto, however, she is real about who she is. Now…would I have chosen the 5 to represent Atlanta’s houswives??? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Finally, a reality show that I enjoy watching and can watch without getting aggravated due to stupidity.
Ne-Ne is so ghetto fabulous, but she’s someone you can trust to be honest and real with you, not fake.
Sheree definitely makes me proud, she knows what she wants and deserves. And tell em’ girl, you’re a lady with class and goals. Don’t let them portray you as a goal digger! **@! em’!
Kim is a definite example of what most caucasian females want, but at the same time two faced like a somma*! Is she a goal digger?
Lisa definitely has ADHD, but has learned how to twurke it. Girl you have a good man. I wish mines would fix me homemade soup when I’m sick, that also taste good.
Deshawn definitely doesn’t have time for drama and makes sure she stays out of UNNECESSARINESS. Is that a damn word?

This show needs to be renamed “No Class Housewives”. I can’t understand why someone as driven as Lisa would want to be on this show. NeNe is hopeless! She is on the show just to prove money doesn’t buy class, looks, character, etc. Sharee comes across as very self-centered but if she can get 7 figures, go for it! Kim,…well when I figure out what’s real about her I’ll post a comment. Finally, will someone please enroll DeShawn into speech class! If she is going to host a gala and sell various items, she needs to be able to pronounce them. One example: jewelry not jury! Does anyone think a couple of the ladies are actors because a real housewife from the South would not mortify themselves or family in this manner.

DeShawn, if you want to walk the walk, you have to speak the talk - correctly. Use correct GRAMMER. If I hear “Ath-A-lete” one more time I’m going to scream…….. It is two syllables, NOT three…… I admire what you are trying to do for your cause, but it is an embarassment seeing you act all “Upper-class snob” when in fact, you speak with 3rd grade grammar. How do you host a fundraiser without feeding people? I guess because you had on such an expensive dress, hair done, and that you ‘allowed’ people in to your home, they should have just dropped their wallets at your feet?
Ne Ne - you stabbed Kim in the back. She was stressed out, and looking out for you to be comfortable at her daughter’s party. You showed up with a real cocky attitude, as though you didn’t have to tell her that you already worked things out with your ‘enemy’.
This show is such a disappointment. Thank God the Housewives of OC are coming back soon.

Ineed to asssssk a question. Why do the self proposed Classy women say ax, do they not know how to speak properly. It is ask, not ax, classy, ha ha ha. If this woman Kim is so rich, why does she have the worst wig on in the world. Her parts never match up and her real hair part has dark roots and then the fake hair wigh to boot starts. She acts like she can aford just about anything, why not a real hair wig or extensions, something cause that fake hair is killing me. Is NeNe a transexual, she looks like she may not be done with her treatment yet. Sherri the one that is getting divorced, she say’s she’s successful, successfully a gold digger. What is she successful at shopping, and she isn’t even pretty, she is way to into herself. Maybe she should get a job and associate with people that aren’t on her payroll, people that are payed to tell her she fabulous, she su—s and obviously not that good. The other chubby one, that had the charity as her house, how dumb is she. You charge atleast 500 to 1500 for dinner, entertainment, etc. If they can afford that and are paid those are the people that will pay the big bucks, not come to my home. It was a usless croud, very sad and she is not too bright, just rich (what a waste) The pretty one with long hair is the only one worth watching, she is not rude and she has a bit of class and she works. Big papa, please, and you could’t even try to save him any money on the Cadi. Get a real hair wig, stop smoking if you are going to TRY to sing cause money doesn’t buy talent. BRAVO, please come to Boston where the woman are strong and REAL. You folks couldn’t find wives, we want woman who contribute to the family not pay people to suck up to them and take care of the family, please do not insult us with this weak atempt to entertain us. These women are weak, uneducated and way way to sad to be on TV. NEXT

Iam so up sat , I really can say that NeNe is a real person . Sheree she has no class she is a troble maker that makes black women look bad. And Mrs Snow is a classy lady bless is the piece maker they shall be called the childen of GOD. Keep up the good work. And I think that NeNe makes it live and real. Lisa her husband should stay in his line and not get in to the women bussiness.

I was born in Atlanta and lived there for 39 years. I knew many of Atlanta’s real society, blue bloods, Piedmont Driving Club, ect. The show is hilarious! I sure never knew anyone like them when I lived there and I think the show is a real hoot! I like the clothes, excesses…but society? LOL They are women living off men, period.

DeShawn is a sweet heart. It is only a tv show. Pure entertainment. So many of you are just haters. This girl is taking care of her family and handling her business. I suggest you all get some business and try to better yourself in the community. If you don’t like what is being portrayed on the show, then stop tuning in every week. You would die if you missed an episode HATERS!!!

Sheree and Kim are absolutely ridiculous!! I am not even sure they are women much less Housewives. They both look like drag queens!!! Kim is a disgrace. She is a kept woman who is sleeping with a married man..for sure. Is this what you are teaching your daughters? What morals? Bravo might as well have called this show the Real Call Girls of Atlanta!! Sheree is a joke and is nobody’s true friend..a true friend will tell her friend she can’t sing and how to correctly spell C-A-T, unless she herself doesn’t know how to spell it…Hmm it all makes sense now. Sheree nothing you touch will have success because God don’t like ugly!!
The rest of you ladies should be ashamed of yourselves for associated with this trash. Remember “Tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are”.

I love NeNe but I think she and Kim need to talk. NeNe is hurting over Kims association with Sheree and is to proud to say whats what. Kim is to dumb to realise that she is being played by Sheree. Look at the smirks when she sings and misspelled cat (KAT). Lisa can be very dangerous as she goes with whom ever she is with at the time. Kim you cannot sing. Sheree your body looks like a man. NeNe stop the mess and deal with Kim face to face like an adult. You talked about your past and have overcome a lot, don’t stop now.

I believe these women were chosen for the show because Atlanta is a predominately African-American city, and Bravo wanted to accurately depict that fact. This may come as a shock to all of the bigots on this site, but there are MANY successful African Americans in this country, but there is a particularly large concentration of this demographic in Atlanta. Also, these days, money is money, no matter how it was attained, and “society” is made up of those with lots of it, so Bravo chose their cast appropriately.

Being from Atlanta myself (TRUE Atlanta - not the suburbs!), I have to say the reason these women are so “out there” is because they are so NOT part of the Atlanta high society. Not one of them even lives IN Atlanta!! They are suburbanite wannabe’s! True high society in Atlanta lives IN Atlanta in Buckhead, Brookhaven or one of the other old historic neighborhoods within the city - they are old money, old family - not new money from pro sports! True Atlanta high society lives in beautiful historic mansions - not these new McMansion stucco piles in the suburbs. The entitlement these women have - it’s shocking. I have to admit it is hilarious to watch, but not at all an example of true Atlanta high society by any stretch of the imagination!

I just want to say I love Nene because even though she has money she did not let it change her. She keeps it real and she lives her life to the fullest. Whoever told about her just having fun that night singing in the limo is not a friend, they are messy because they started the fued between her and kim. And kim grow up.

Kim, it has been a rare occasion when I have met any individual with less class than you. Sheree, If you didn’t have the money from your divorce I am guessing you would be prostituting yourself like your friend Kim. Neither one of you is particularly attractive, although Kim your hair dresser deserves a tip. Frankly, that is the only attractive thing I find about you. Sheree, get a nose job with some of that money. NeNe you are a kick and as people say you are the “real one”. Deshawn, at least you are trying to be responsible with your wealth, take some online grammar lessons if you want to run with the elite crowd. Lisa, you have the looks and class. You are the real deal. Choose your friends. Don’t let them choose you.

I have gotten one positive thing out of this show….it has made me stop cursing! Seriously, I use the F word as easily as I breathe and seeing how these women were constantly being bleeped for their language, it made me think….dag, is that how I come across to others??? So I am making a conscious effort to stop. It’s not very attractive…
One thing I couldn’t believe didn’t get alot of feedback was the fact that Kim had a glass of wine behind the wheel of the car several times…
Just watched the season finale and cannot wait until next Tuesday for the wrap up show!!!! Just my 2 cents…

An interesting point to notice about this show is how The O.C. housewives actually make their own money. The majority of them are educated, have transitioned from one successful career to the next and then have successful husbands to add to it. Even, (all not some from previous relationships), their children are made to look smart, even with their dumb decisions.
The New York wives are all independently successful, even the single “cook wife” who can publicly displays her man because he is a. single and b. not ashamed of his lady. They have worldly views, speak several languages, go to social events, summer at their other homes and run real businesses. No one on those two shows have a black girl acting white. Amazing.
How ironic that the black housewives are portrayed as “gold diggers who struck gold,” “and now are destined to be something,” ignorant, petty, classless and have a white girl who wants to be black. I still don’t believe that they really know each other that well.
No one in Atlanta that’s really about something has never even heard of these ladies until now. They have been pictured to have no style, real favor, culture or financial sense. Speaking English is a challenge and you can find countless sites that go into all of their clumsy and embarrassing past.
The show makes the men look weak and desperate(Ed), the negative and slick side of divorce (Bob), the fake support system to your wife, (Eric). Greg is the only one with some responsible sense but they find a way to make his setup with NeNe look crazy with the homework scene last week. Why allow that? Even though Kim is white, having a married, concealed “trick,” give us the perception that black men are the only ones who do this. No one is tricking on the other two housewives shows. I’m truly disappointed.

Saw the last episode last night, with all the girls for the last time in their interviews. This is all I have to say: Kim, keep smiling, and keep it up with the big heart you have. God Bless you, and hoping everything goes well for you, who cares if you wear a wig, girl you are styling it! You are B-E-A-T-I-F-U-L!
DeShawn: you are so sweet honey, may the Lord fill your home with blessings, the best to you and your lovely family.
Sheree: Sweetie, you give the meaning to classy, beautiful, loving, stay out of problem woman, and strength to those that need it, especially as single mothers. WOW! You are a blessing.
Lisa: I dont even know what to say abt you. You came across in the beginning as the one that wanted peace, yet towards the end, everyone here said, “Whoa! her true colors came out” Ok, so you spread some gossip, just admit it, and go on, none of you are perfect, and as beautiful as you are, you did not need to come across that ugly with Kim. We loved you, but, ummm, well, really cant say much anymore, you really defined who you really are at the end. Bible says, nothing is ever hidden, and boy it’s right.
Nene: you know I feel for you. My mother went through what you went through in her past, and yes that really makes you into someone you dont want to be for a long time, and once in a while that comes out. You are a lovely strong black woman, dont let jealousy, and it is, dont even care how you want to sugar coat it, it is jealousy. But sometimes that creeps up, and makes you into something you know at the end of the day you really dont want to be. Once you come into reality and notice that, you will explode in your business, and in life. The good Lord has granted you so much already, imagine what He will do once you come into reality with that. Being too flashy is not classy, humbleness, and waiting on the Lord is, and wow, I only pray you get there, and make so much more of yourself in life, b/c honey, I can see that in there somewhere, is a strong, loving woman, that would love to give so much, but sometimes, is the little things that hold us back from really reaching where we want to be. God bless you honey.

maybe these ladies could redeem themselves a little if they would only show a real act of charity instead of just forming foundations with their names on them. there is a great one that needs help right in their own community. it’s called Real Change Inc. in sharpsburg and they help young women put their lives back together free of charge. we have nothing like it in VA or in any other state i know of. that’s what i’d like to see! Go help these women, do a real good deed! in this economy donations are slow, they can’t pay the rent or buy groceries! you can win hearts in georgia and the whole country doing something that is real! not just bitchiness can win ratings!
