Five multifaceted matriarchs and mavens will marvel you as they high step – all stilettos, sauciness and style – into your consciousness in the TV’s newest sensation, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Bravo premiering Tuesday, October 7. Following the success of the hit series “The Real Housewives of Orange County” as well as “The Real Housewives of New York City,” this nouveau edition is rich with realness and rawness as the stars of the show reach out and pull you into their glamorous worlds. It features dynamic and daring divas whose personas vault off the screen and into your hearts as they circumnavigate the scintillating social scene of the south’s most dynamic city in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
The seven-episode TV series cackle with chemistry and hop with hi-jinks will cast the spotlight on the set of vivacious and versatile mothers who juggle drama, clothing lines, business ventures, families and each other’s percolating personalities. DeShawn is an NBA player’s wife who just built a mammoth edifice of a house manages and founded a foundation for girls. Kim is a country singer aspirant with an engaging persona and a barbed-wire for a tongue. Sheree is the ex-wife of an NFL star who strolls through the upper crust of society like a supermodel sashaying down a runway. Nene is married to a successful real estate investor and business consultant and is the founder The Twisted Hearts Foundation, which brings awareness to domestic violence against women. And Lisa is an uncontainable ball of a businesswoman who is married to an NFL star and ravenously gulps down the spotlight.
“Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ franchise has resonated with our viewers across the country and we think they will be equally fascinated by the lavish lifestyles and personalities of these Atlanta wives,” said Frances Berwick, Bravo’s executive vice president and general manager. “They let us peek inside their exclusive, affluent community and see how they live their often dramatic lives and manage families and careers. There is truly never a dull day for them.”
Most importantly, you will not be able to tear your eyes away from the screen when the quintet of cuties bounce off each other like pin balls because they all possess high sense of selves, are strong-minded, and spend the majority of the shows wriggling for prime positioning as if they were boxing out for rebounds. See what happen when the veneer of invincibility withers away and their idiosyncrasies start popping on the screen like fireworks. They will tickle you, inspire you, anger you, enthrall you, and their individual challenges will squeeze your hearts. One thing’s for sure: you will not be bored. Not with these ladies. –terry shropshire
