"Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

[JayQueer]

Okay, so the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA) on Bravo is my FAVORITE TV show!!

I can't find any other ongoing threads on JUB about RHOA, so I thought I would create a new thread.

My favorite women on the show are NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks.

If you all have been following the show, all of the girls (except Kim Zolciak, who just had a baby boy) are going to South Africa for a 10 day vacation.

The new "unofficial" housewife on the show is Marlo Hampton, who has been bringing the DRAMA to the show. Apparently she was dating NFL player Charles Grant, but she is known for sleeping with wealthy men. Marlo Hampton has been arrested 7 times, yes, 7 times, for crimes including stabbing another woman at a club.

So, in the next week's episode, the women will be in South Africa.

Marlo gets upset that Sheree Whitfield didn't invite her to a party. So Marlo tries to diss Sheree by saying this --

That’s why you don’t have a man. Go back and hang with those f*ggots with yo' ugly ass...

Uh-oh....

"The Lord Work!"

Lol I've never cared for the shows, but I get constant updates about them from watching Kathy Griffin stand up lolz

I use to watch this when we had bravo on directT but has since switched back to cable. Can the episodes be viewed online anywhere (the entire episodes). I don't understand why bravo doesn't have the episodes on their site. I also miss Top Chef

[Wafflecakes]

Forgive me ignorance.....I understood the Real Housewives of OC because well....OC is idealized as kind of an "it" place to live.

Why would I want to watch ANYTHING set in the south?

I know. I don't get Bravo on my TV, but I watch all the episodes online..

Bravo puts some of the episodes online (on their website), but not all of them.

If you search YouTube there is a user who has been regularly uploading all of the episodes from the current season 4 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta". Just type "Real Housewives of Atlanta" in YouTube....

If all else fails, you can pay $2 per episode to watch the episodes from Amazon.com (it streams directly from Amazon.com).

But I would try to catch it on YouTube before they take it down..

[JayQueer]

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" is TOTALLY different than the Housewives of OC. Even though I'm from the Orange County, CA, area, I didn't like the Real Housewives of OC..

Every "Housewives" franchise on Bravo has a "theme"


Real Housewives of Atlanta = Mostly African-American socialites from the ATL

Real Housewives of OC = Blonde, plastic, Barbie-doll looking women

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills = The wealthiest women of the "housewives" franchise, living in the 90210

Real Housewives of New Jersey = Italian-American women living in 'Jersey

Real Housewives of New York = ?

Real Housewives of DC (cancelled) = Politically active women living in the nation's capital

Real Housewives of Miami = Affluent Latinas living in South Florida


IMO, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is by far the best series. It also has the highest ratings of any show on Bravo by far, so I'm not the only person who feels this way.

The producers of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" are the same people who produced "A-List New York" and "A List Dallas."

[JayQueer]

JayQueer...I LOVE The Real Housewives of Atlanta! I'm glad you started this thread.

I have watched the earlier seasons off and on, but just recently went back and watched every last minute. Good stuff! Simple entertainment and a fun watch every time.

I would have to say my favorite "housewife" is Kandi. Her personality comes closest to mine--plus she's generally low-key and low drama. Phaedra is a close second.

I love Kandi too. My favorites are NeNe, Phaedra, and Kandi. I'm in the middle about Kim.

I'm also in the middle about Sheree. There are times when I'm totally "Team Sheree," and other times, I'm like "Are you kidding me?"

The episodes where Sheree was going to court for child support and trashing her ex-husband Bob Whitfield was TOTAL BS. "Straight from the A" blog and Tamara Tattles (she runs a blog) showed the court documents. Apparently in the divorce settlement, there was a mutual agreement that Sheree would sell their former house, and split the profit from the sale. Bob was then supposed to supposed to give Sheree another $400,000 after the house was sold. Instead, Sheree asked for the $400,000 upfront so she could find a new place for her & the kids to live. Bob gave her the money...........BUT Sheree never sold the house! Because Sheree refused to sell the house, Bob stopped making payments and the house went into foreclosure. They ended up losing all of their equity on the home.

So, basically the reason why Bob Whitfield hasn't been paying child support to Sheree is because if she sues him for the child support, he would counter-sue her for making him lose all of the profits from the house. They would break even, or Sheree might even owe Bob some money in the end...

Oh, and "Chateau Sheree" that house Sheree is supposed to be building?? That's also not true. That lot in Sandy Springs, GA, belongs to Sheree's mother, and they were saying on the blogs a while back that a different builder (not the guy they showed on TV) is building a generic new house that Sheree's mother plans to sell...

I'm also not a fan of Cynthia. She is so ANNOYING!!! Everyone is totally right, she basically clings to NeNe and does whatever NeNe tells her too. And then even her husband Peter walks all over her too. When something doesn't go her way, she starts acting like the sky is falling on her and then Peter or her sister have to bail her out. Girl, get some backbone and stop whining....

Did I mention how much I would love to bed her hubby?

Hunny, get in line..........haha

Okay, I'll make a deal with you...........you can have Apollo Nida, and I'll take Kroy Biermann

[JayQueer]

then I'll move right on to Kroy, Kim's husband....lol bisexuals get the best of both worlds!

Back off hunny...........Kroy's all mine!!

[MisterMajestic]

Atlanta is one of (if not THE) "it" cities of the region. It is home to a lot of wealthy musicians, actors/entertainers, athletes, socialites, etc. etc.

So true...Sir Elton John, Kenny Rogers and Bill Gates have Mega-houses in the ATL...That's only 3 out of MANY...

Kandi, is an well presented business woman, perhaps the most wealthiest of all ATL housewives.

Kandi is THE Wealthiest "Single-female" out of the Franchise...She's worth $30-Million...Kandi's got more money than half the women on "Beverly Hills Housewives" single or married.....

NeNe is worth about $3-Million-plus...not sure about the other ATL-housewives...I'm very curious about Kim but "Wendy Williams" team hasnt searched her "net-worth"....

I know.........Buckhead is REALLY nice....

Buckhead is THE place to be in ATL............if you got the money..

Real big Southern Colonial mansions everywhere, and you're right by Lenox Square with Neiman Marcus and all the high end shops..

[JayQueer]

Yes, Phaedra is really beautiful. If I were straight, I would be trying to get some alone time with her. I think what I really love about her is the way she carries herself--and she does have a pretty interesting sense of humor.

Do y'all think that Phaedra might not be completely accepting of homosexuality?

Phaedra is the most religious, outspoken Christian out of all the women on the show. Her mom is a pastor of a local church.

I remember a while ago, Phaedra and her mom appeared on Andy Cohen's "Watch what happens live," and a viewer asked Phaedra how she would respond if her son told her that he was a homosexual.

Phaedra didn't give an answer right away. She hemmed and hawed, and finally she said that she would want whatever would make her son happy...

I wonder if she gave that answer because it was the "politically correct" answer to say, but if she really felt otherwise?

I do know that NeNe, Kim, and Kandi are completely comfortable around gay men. NeNe has appeared at OutWrite gay bookstore in Atlanta before, Kim posed for the No H8 campaign, and Kim and Kandi have made several appearances at gay bars and at the White Party in Palm Springs.

But I do have doubts about Phaedra.....

[Lostlover]

I'm embarrassed to say I watch this show. Just a couple of observations:

1) Brother that is a psychiatrist saw 1 minute of Peter and said "sociopath." Get away Cynthia, he has no conscience. He's like an animal.

2) I hate NeNe's ugly, man-looking ass. She isn't cute. She isn't talented. So why is she cocky?

3) Kim's husband is a big fool for marrying an older woman with kids that could be his siblings.

[MisterMajestic]

Kim is worth 1.5 Million dollars, but that was before she met Kroy, so who knows how much they have now.

Fast-Forward before kroy....How can she afford her lavish lifestyle? She's always having catered brunches, the cars, how is she paying Sweety? Sweety practically lives with her.. i started watching AHW LATE so I don't know what these women did for a living because it's obvious they're not working anywhere now...They live for the Salons, Parties and Food & Drinks...

Wendy Williams reported last year that Kroy was making $500,000 a year...With that Beefy-White Booty on him the NFL should have thrown in an extra $500-K cause I'll watch Football just to check out his Ass...

Damn that Dude can wear a pair of Black Dress-pants....When he was dancing in that contest his Fat-Butt-Cheeks in those black pants cast a Spell on everybody in that Damn Dance-Hall...

I bet when he left the House that night he decided to put on those tight pants because he knew he'd win & get laid...

I'm embarrassed to say I watch this show.

...LOL.....Not YOU LL.....I still can't get over the Fact that you and JayQueer watch Housewives.....I never would have guessed that from 2 of the Most-Controversial-Mainstream Jubers.......I Love you both...

I hate NeNe's ugly, man-looking ass. She isn't cute. She isn't talented. So why is she cocky?

I have to disagree with you right here...I think NeNe is cute/attractive in her own way..She's a Tall woman and she really carries-off the "look" she creates for herself...When you feel good about yourself on the inside it will show on the outside. NeNe's got serious anger issues but her strength & confidence still shines through...

NeNe told Rose O'Donell last week that she was the First AHW signed on when BRAVO went scouting in the ATL...The Producers asked her to drop some High-Profile ATL wives names in the Pot. She pointed them to Sherrey, Kim and some other Chick that was on during the 1st season.....NeNe said most viewers dont know that...

[JayQueer]

The only woman who had a career before RHOA was Phaedra (she's an attorney). Well I guess Cynthia was a runway model in NYC, so maybe her too. The others -- I don't know what they did before......

Oh, and that new mansion that Kim says she "bought?" She's renting that house from the woman on the show who was her interior decorator. Yes, her interior decorator is her landlord. On the show, she talks down to that woman, basically ordering her around. When that lady owned the mansion Kim is renting!!

Kim used to date a man (he was never on camera) called "Big Poppa" who was her sugar daddy. He bought her an Escalade, and all kinds of things. She claimed that he was going through a divorce, but she probably knew she would just be his mistress. She briefly dated a lesbian DJ before dating Kroy....

NeNe told Rose O'Donell last week that she was the First AHW signed on when BRAVO went scouting in the ATL...The Producers asked her to drop some High-Profile ATL wives names in the Pot. She pointed them to Sherrey, Kim and some other Chick that was on during the 1st season.....NeNe said most viewers dont know that...

Yes. There was a woman in the first season named DeShawn Snow who was married to an NBA player I think. They had a REALLY BIG mansion that they did own. She was really nice and sweet and polite, but she never really brought any drama to the show. They didn't invite her back for the 2nd season. I think she has gotten divorced from her husband since then.

[JayQueer]

does anyone really own their home on this show? Kandi, Phaedra, and Cynthia...perhaps?

NeNe does not. She has been renting houses in places like Sugarloaf in Duluth and John's Creek.

I think Kandi and Phaedra own their own houses. Kandi's house is a ranch-style house and Phaedra's house is a typical tract house or "McMansion" you might find in suburbs like Roswell and Marietta...

I don't know if Cynthia owns her place but she lives in Atlanta proper. I think she lives in the Virginia Highland area, very close to Midtown Atlanta (which is where all the gay bars & nightlife in ATL are).

Phaedra said that Cynthia's neighorhood was undergoing "gentrification", which in Phaedra's words means "when they try to turn the 'hood into the suburbs."


All of Housewives are receiving salaries of well of over $150,000 to $200,000 per season. Of course, A-list celebrities are paid much more, but for normal folks, that isn't anything to sneeze at.

If somebody gon' write me a check for $150,000, I ain't gon' be sayin' no...

[JayQueer]

^ I'm sure JayQueer knew that. It had to have been an oversight. LOL

LOL..........Haha..........Oops........I forgot about Kandi

Of course I knew that Kandi was a singer & songwriter. Didn't she write "No Scrubs" for TLC? I love that song! Gaaa........I love music from the '90s!!



[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av7m_Pgt1S8[/ame]

[aijalon18]

And Kandi's got a big o booty. That's always a plus. I love the song was working on with Jo Dee Messina on the show.

[JayQueer]

And Kandi's got a big o booty. That's always a plus. I love the song was working on with Jo Dee Messina on the show.

I know...Kandi is sooo awesome and talented. She can work with so many types of music. Her specialty is probably R&B and pop, but she can also do country too. She helped Lawrence with his "Closet Freak" song, and she even made Kim sound decent with her "Tardy for the Party" single..

[JayQueer]

Did y'all know that Sheree came out with a single too? But unlike Kim's song, Kandi had no role in helping Sheree with her song whatsoever..


This is what happens when Kandi helps you with your song --

And this is what happens when Kandi doesn't help you with your song --

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OJ7GdzZ6HU[/ame]

[JayQueer]

^ Yeah, I've heard Sheree's song. Surprisingly, I like it more than "Tardy for the Party". I think mainly because it's so hilarious to me.

The first two seconds with the sample of the party planner saying "you need to watch yo'self before you get checked!"

LOL......One of my favorite scenes from RHOA was between Sheree and the party planner..

[JayQueer]

THE most famous clip from the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" was during the Season 1 reunion show..

It still makes me laugh!!

You don't find her personality atrocious? The way she picks on Kim? Kim can't sing, but why do you feel you need to remind the world of the obvious?

She has low self-esteem to continuously pick on people she thinks are weak. She'll never really go at Phaedra. Phaedra is a lawyer and she'll put her on her ass.

[JayQueer]

She'll never really go at Phaedra. Phaedra is a lawyer and she'll put her on her ass.

Except that NeNe and Phaedra DID go at it, during the Season 3 Reunion show --

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXzjBVbhyvo[/ame]

[MisterMajestic]

You don't find her personality atrocious?

I've been watching RHOA since 2010....All of the Ladies pick on each other, talk about other people and so on. Nene is "cool" when she hasnt lost her temper and her "mind".....If Nene was stuck on "nasty" in every episode then I'd agree with you about her personality.

LostLover I don't know your race but the average Black person will tell you they have a"Nene" in their family or they know a "Nene"....The way Nene carries on when she gets upset is something that we're use to seeing...She'll act right for a minute then doing her thing the next...

Nene "bullies" Kim because she knows she can...Nene wouldnt pull those "choking" stunts on any of the Black women she knows...

It's hard for me to judge what is real and what is scripted for the show. Nene has known Kim for a long time..All of a sudden Nene decides to put her hands on Kim now that they're on TV?

So we have to remember a lot of what we're seeing is scripted to "sell' an episode...

__________________________________________________

[Lostlover]

^ oh yeah...I've already pegged Nene as being incredibly insecure and weak. I think it's the reason why she can be so sensitive (she does show it...people just have to pay close attention) at times, and quick to blow up on people. She needs to clown others to make herself feel "better".

for example: when she felt the need to tell Sheree how "rich" she is. riiiiight.

I still love her though. But she has been clowning in season 4 to the max.

If Nene is so rich, whe is she living in a cookie-cutter home? Why is she negotiating down the price of her son's used car?

I heard an interview with the women of the RHOA on satellite radio. The most hated woman through reactions and questions from viewers calling in was Phaedra. They were calling calling her cocky and arrogant. In Phaedra's defense, she's a self-made, educated woman. You can't say that for any of them, minus, maybe Kandi. Not one call in to complain about Nene.

*twilight zone*

[JayQueer]

If Nene is so rich, whe is she living in a cookie-cutter home? Why is she negotiating down the price of her son's used car?

Please......."cookie-cutter"? NeNe's house looks like a house that a typical upper-middle class American family might live in. Ok so its not a mansion in Buckhead, but it's not too shabby either..

NeNe negotiated down the price of her son's used car because it was the smart thing to do. Savvy car buyers (even the wealthy ones) always negotiate to get the lowest possible price the dealer will sell the car for..........

[Lostlover]

I agree with that ^^^. Phaedra actually has something to be envious of (plus her husband is cute). Greg and Nene's kids are ugly.

[JayQueer]

Greg and Nene's kids are ugly.

That's kind of rude. Especially if you're talking about somebody's kids. One of their sons is 12 or 13.

I'll tell you which people I think are handsome or attractive, but I won't tell you who I think are ugly. That's just immature. People have feelings. How would you feel if people said you were ugly? Probably not too good, right?

[JayQueer]

I miss the NeNe we knew from Season 1

Bullshit. Do you know wealthy people? I do. And they'd never "lower" themselves to negotiating a price for an automobile, especially an everyday car.

[Lostlover]

Don't even get me started on Apollo...and the things I'd love to do with him.

He is a cutie for sure. They, or more like Phaedra, keep talking about his "white collar" crime and the arrest on the highway. If they never mentioned it, I wouldn't have known.

Phaedra in this case was "Fake-dra," as she branded her husband's crime a "white-collar crime" to lesson the impact of being called a felon: same shit, different toilet.

[Lostlover]

I miss the NeNe we knew from Season 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ELOqawnOtk

Yuck! This Nene is annoying too.

I'd rather that she wasn't cast. That's just me. And she's being encouraged to be this way. Did anyone see the way she spoke to LaToya Jackson on "The Apprentice"? Was that needed? Calling her Casper?

I don't think LaToya has any talent and she's harmless. Why would you belittle her? Oh yeah. She's a pushover. She won't defend herself.

[Lostlover]

Marlo is trash. She has no business being on a TV or employed period with her extensive criminal record. She disgusts me.

She's another strike against Nene saying she is rich. Can you imagine Adrienne [Maloof] on the RH of Beverly Hills hanging around with someone of her caliber? I can't.

I think that Marlo Hampton's shady past makes her presence on the show even more juicy and adds more drama..

But I did think it was hilarious when Marlo Hampton was acting like a high society socialite, throwing a charity benefit, when she was rockin' the orange jumpsuit not too long ago..

[JayQueer]

I loved last night's episode!! One of the best RHOA episodes eva!!!

[Lostlover]

That's kind of rude. Especially if you're talking about somebody's kids. One of their sons is 12 or 13.

I'll tell you which people I think are handsome or attractive, but I won't tell you who I think are ugly. That's just immature. People have feelings. How would you feel if people said you were ugly? Probably not too good, right?

I'm no more rude than Nene. At least I have a good reason not to like her whereas she doesn't have a good reason to not to like the other women.

Could have fooled me. They both look at least 18. The bum son of hers is hideous. He takes after her, looks wise. And if he's a bum, why buy him a car? HELLO! I guess Nene's parenting is as good as her personality.

[Lostlover]

Wow...last night's (1/29) episode was so crazy. LOL

I am STILL annoyed that Marlo is even there in South Africa with the ladies. If I was Phaedra, I wouldn't have been so nice about Nene pulling that little stunt inviting Marlo without running it by me first. Not to mention, Marlo is straight up annoying and full of it.

Watching that "fight" with her and Sheree was embarrassing. I can't believe I was watching two grown ass women arguing about such silliness...and in such a manner. What was that babble-talk they were doing at the end of it? *awkward* lol

...and Cynthia lost points with me last night for being a little shit stirrer.

Then again...this is "reality" television, so I have to cut the women some slack because everyone most likely played it up for television.

btw...I'm glad they showed Kim for a little bit. Poor thing...she almost seems so alien and 'normal' compared to the Kim we all knew before Kroy. I hope this isn't her last season.

Cynthia is a dumb ass too. First for marrying Peter. And then being a shit stirrer that is beholden to the biggest shit stirrer on the show, Nene.

If I was the director, that would have been Marlo's last episode pulling that little stunt on a trip where she wasn't even invited.

Boy. These women aren't even the type of people that you would love to hate. I just hate them.

BTW, what kind of loser (read: Marlo) reminds someone that you didn't get her a gift especially when she weren't supposed to be there? Phaedra should have reminded her then and there that she wasn't invited, but she had to play nice with the criminal.

[Lostlover]

If Andy Cohen is reading this, I truly hope he will hear my plea: Do not let Marlo become a regular member of this cast. The woman is awful and unwatchable. The ceaseless jabbering gave me a migrain

Couldn't have said it better. This is from the EW Message Board: http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/real-ho...-south-africa/

[Lostlover]

LOL! I know right!

I was like bitch, please. You aren't even SUPPOSED to be there anyway.

a hot mess...

ditto on everything else you said.



Yeah...I really hope they are NOT setting her up to be a new "housewife".


And I still can't believe she made that faggot comment. wow...really!?

She's a criminal. That means she acts before she thinks; that's her MO. I, however, couldn't be insulted by a jailbird. I just can't pretend to give a damn what they think about me.

Society has a place for people like her. And they should have kept her there.

[MisterMajestic]

And I still can't believe she made that faggot comment. wow...really!?

It's not that you can't believe she made the comment..You're surprised she made the comment while being filmed...

Come on Huntneo, when there's no cameras around people say what they wanna say...I have relatives that I Love that say "Faggot" or make foul comments about non-blacks...

Do we question or call-out our Family & friends when they say ignorant Shit? 99% of the time we don't.

[talesofabyssjade]

(T-T) I want to watch it but they're not on youtube and everywhere else requires you to download something or has it linked to sites probably infected with massive mal/spyware.

[JayQueer]

And I still can't believe she made that faggot comment. wow...really!?

Yeah, I was surprised too.

Especially because Marlo has TONS of gay men friends. I mean, she's living in ATL, which is the Black gay capital of the U.S. She even hosted a gay-themed party over MLK weekend with hairstylist Derek J!

http://www.wetpaint.com/real-housewi...-weekend-party

But then in the episode, Marlo was trying to make Sheree look like she was a "fag hag" but that Marlo was not...

[JayQueer]

Btw,

Marlo has issued an apology for her use of the slur "f*ggot".

From Marlo Hampton's official blog --

http://musingsfromtheboudoir.typepad...me-to-you.html

[LukiusCurtiss]

I'm still looking for that song. I just know that Kim did something to violating some contract with the writer/producer of the song, so there's no official release.

Nene really grates my nerves. This is the 2nd time Nene has brought along someone on a trip.

Knowing Nene's track record with newer housewives, Marlo will end up hating her by the end of season.

[MisterMajestic]

http://musingsfromtheboudoir.typepad...me-to-you.html

...LOL....Of course her ignorant Ass released an apology..The Shit just aired and she probably didnt know the editors would leave it in...If she viewed the show BEFORE it aired on BRAVO she should have rushed to her BLOG before it went down to try and save-face....Don't the women get to View the entire season after they're done taping?

She waited until her ATL friends called her on it....She should have known everybody she hangs with watches the show...LOL...

Too little too late....


Side note....Rosie O'Donell did ask NeNe how many years is she under contract. NeNe answered the question by saying her contract is BIG and then danced around Rosie asking if she'd get her own spin-off-show....

This is what I believe is happening during the BRAVO Pow-Wow meetings...BRAVO is paying Nene High 6-figures or 7-figures(highest paid Housewife) and they have told her she's staying put. Nene doesnt want to be around ANY of the women on RHOA. If BRAVO gives her a spin-off she'd use that show to stay away from the other women...BRAVO doesnt want to take that chance with Nene...

I could be wrong but The Powers that Be @ BRAVO want to keep that crew of women together for Sunday night ratings-sake. Even if the animosity is REAL BRAVO will keep paying them an Ass-of-Cash just so the women HAVE to bite their tongues and mingle on camera...

[Lostlover]

I'm convinced that this show is scripted. That "80 year old white man" that Marlo is dating is none other than Ted Turner, founder of CNN. People don't refer to someone they know as an "80 year old white man" especially when they know that man's name. Producers don't want to get sued by having their participants wrongly or rightfully name names. So "the billionaire," "80 year old white man" has to remain without a name when it's clear they know who this person is.

I'm calling BS.

Cynthia was just pathetic last season. Her instigating that fight dropped her even lower in my opinion.

I honestly thought Marlo was a drag queen.

OMG.......Did you guys hear the news??

Sheree Whitfield is leaving the "Real Housewives of Atlanta"!

Sheree Whitfield: Why I'm Leaving the Real Housewives of Atlanta - UsMagazine.com


To me it feels like Bravo was about to kick Sheree out. But Sheree offered to voluntarily leave, to save face......

Sheree did bring the drama, but she was probably least wealthiest of the ATL housewives. Last we saw on the show, she was living in a small condo and she was fighting Bob Whitfield for child support. And her "Chateau Sheree" mansion she was bragging about, never got built....

OTOH, the other ATL housewives used their appearance on the show to highlight their professional work, or use it as a "launching pad" to get into other business endeavors...

Like:

NeNe Leakes -- Appeared on "Celebrity Apprentice" and "Glee". Also was shown getting into business ventures with her Italian-American quasi-boyfriend.

Phaedra Parks -- Showed off her legal skills as an attorney on the show and started getting involved in a funeral business

Cynthia Bailey -- Started the "Bailey Agency of Fashion" while on the show

Kandi Baruss -- Showed off her foray into country music & songwriting, internet talk show, and "Bedroom Kandi" adult female sex toys

Kim Zolciak -- Showed off her pregnancy on the show and will be appearing on a Bravo show "Don't be Tardy for the Wedding"


Sheree Whitfield was the only one to not have any successful projects during the show. She talked about her "She by Sheree" line which has been a dismal failure, at least so far.

So I find it hard to believe that Sheree Whitfield would just walk away from such a good paycheck (Real Housewives of ATL) like that...
