10/7: Real Housewives of Atlanta debuting tonight, “Poprah” out on Diddy show
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey, check out my article on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” here.
The show debuts tonight at 9 p.m. on Bravo. If you enjoyed the first two incarnations and got a kick watching rich women shop, dine and be catty, well, Atlanta won’t disappoint. Watch especially for power buddies NeNe and Kim, two Type A personalities who define the word “sassy.” The tension between NeNe and Sheree (former wife of NFL player Bob Whitfield) is also palpable and delightfully entertaining.
Atlanta’s own Kim “Poprah” Kearney was fired by P. Diddy last week but they left it as a cliffhanger. Could “Poprah” talk her way back into his good graces?
Well, tonight, VH1 showed the aftermath of her showing ‘tude toward Diddy when she couldn’t come up with a VIP list for him in a timely fashion. Her ‘tude was mild to me, at least relative to her usual attitude, but it didn’t sit well with Diddy and his assistants weren’t going to overturn his decision. Poprah argued awhile (again, in a relatively low-key way) but gave up. To the cameras, she figured she was overqualified anyway (which in a way, she is) and maybe one day he might work for her. Hah!
But that wasn’t really the best part of the show. The best one was poor, naive Stefanie, the youngest of the lot. She had to provide three “gifts” to Diddy to show who they are. Stefanie’s third item was a Jack-in-the-Box, to show she can surprise him. Her problem: the puppet that leapt out of the box was “Sambo,” a “shuckin’ and jivin’ … blackface” monkey, as Diddy tried to explain. Stefanie had no idea what he was talking about. She really did surprise him. “What is a sambo?” she said. “I’m kinda confused.” Diddy laughed afterwards. Funny-funny-funny!
Stefanie was ousted soon after. Suzanne Siegel ended up winning (with Mike getting hired, too). She was actually a regular fixture on Q100’s the Bert Show, known as Around the World Suzie. Back in the 2005-06 time period, she travelled the world for a year, checking in with the show from time to time. The Bert Show mused today that she has put on much more of a hip-hop vibe now that she’s working with Diddy.
Here’s the interview Suzie did before the finale.
Her take on Poprah: “It’s not an act. It’s really her!” Then she added,”She’s a poisonous, poisonous person. It’d be like letting a snake into your house!”
Bert said: “She’s a cancer for any team you’d ever put together. I can’t see how he could possibly choose her tonight.”

I can hear the same s** on the MARTA TRAIN everyday, just without the over priced handbags, cars, and FAKE EDUCATED ATTITUDES. SOW’s ear to a SILK PURSE, LIPSTICK on a PIG, or HOOKER to a HOUSE WIFE sounds like the AD lead in to this JOKE of a SHOW. ARE ant of these women named PROFITISTS or just MONEY TRAIN RIDERS? I bet they will all vote OBAMA and he is after their money but they don’t know it.

Nouveau riche is one thing, but do they have to be so loud and tacky? Whatever happened to the days of “if you have it, you don’t have to flaunt it. People KNOW.” Seriously, if you have to tell people that you’re ‘classy,’ ‘elegant,’ ‘high society,’ etc, then chances are that you’re not.
I’m really disappointed that they’re focusing on basically the wives of some sports players. In a city known for a long heritage of societies, clubs and old families, THESE are the women they find?
I guess if they want a spectacle (hot mess), a cat fight over who’s ‘classy’ will be a lock.

The Real House W** of Atlanta, more like it. These are the finest Ghetto Rats we could find. There the insperation for all the other uneducated rats that want to get out of the Ghetto. Would anyone real want to be seen in public with one of these? NOT. They are TRASH at best. Not one is self made, all pimped themselves out to Ballers(crimanals who play sports). Sold there bodys for Bling. Tune in ALT for a good LAUGH. Looks fade, but STUPID is for EVER.
