This isn't my usual type of Real Housewives posting. I'm on a bit of a delay with my TIVO viewing but promise to have sketches and a recap shortly. This is about some red hot dish I've received from two readers. One is a media insider from Atlanta and another is a faithful, informed, reader. I will say for legal purposes, that what I'm posting is a passing along of information that was shared with me by these unnamed readers. I can not verify what they are saying is the truth, but it seems quite real.
Interested?
From my media insider about each of the Housewives in this person's own words:
Lisa- was once married to Keith Sweat (a R&B singer way back when that couldn't carry a tune to save his life!) and they had 2 kids that he has custody of. He refused to sign the release forms so that they could be on the show. She also filed for bankruptcy.
I will add that my other reader has shared some dish that pertains to Lisa which I'll post at the end.
Sheree- has another daughter when she got pregnant @ age 15. This child isn't allowed to call her mother in public. She had a clothing store back in the day "Bella Azul" that went bankrupt. And her so- called staff aren't really her staff at all but a few of her friends that stopped coming around when the checks kept bouncing and that includes her ex so called PA who is Evander Holyfield's daughter.
NeNe- my favorite! She makes the show. She reminds of one of my old Aunts that smokes too much and gets drunk every chance she gets and she's liable to say anything. The only thing that I heard was that she used to be a stripper.
DeShon- all I can say is tacky tacky tacky.... She tries so hard to be high class but she doesn't have a clue. The fundraiser that she had was so unprofessionally done! What kind of PR firm did she hire that put invites in stores in the mall? Why didn't she get a corporation to sponsor the event and everyone knows that she should have charged per plate and had a silent auction... And am I the only one that thinks that she should go to a speech therapist and learn how to speak proper English? And the clothes are always 3 sizes to small! Good grief..
Kim- blank stare..... The wigs are killing me lol!!! Don't know much about her but that whole Kim and Sheree (we are best buds now) was so scripted. I have never in my life sat around with another woman and told her over and over that she was the prettiest black woman that I have ever seen!!!
Woo woo that was GOOD gossip! Thanks informer #1! Again, this is what someone wrote me and can not be considered as 100% truth even though I believe it implicitly.
This next bit of information came to me this morning. This woke me up faster than a cup of coffee. This person shall also remain unnamed. I want to say that this reveals some of what went down around the reunion taping. If you do NOT want to know what happens, then stop here. If you do want to read on, here goes:
Kim Zolciak, single mother of 2, from Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo Channel), is the target of Lisa Wu Hartwell's verbal rampage (another Housewife). Lisa recently verbally exploded in an on camera taping of the reunion against Kim Monday in Atlanta. (much speculation that Lisa struck Kim on and off camera) Lisa, ex wife of Keith Sweat, is upset with Kim over the news that the story Lisa does not have custody of her children because she previously had a drug addiction problem amongst other allegations has leaked because of Kim. Producers may require Lisa to undergo anger management classes. Lisa's children and ex husband are not featured in the show as their father, Keith Sweat, did not sign the release form to allow them to be filmed with Lisa.
**There is trouble in paradise as, Lisa, has threatened Kim at local media tapings with comments, text messages and phone call messages. Sources say that Kim currently is in serious consideration to take legal action against Lisa, as there is significant documentation of the intimidation and harassment to warrant a restraining order.
Woo woo again!!!!!!!
Thanks informers!

I'm drooling - you are SO DAMN GOOD!!!
Momma loves her some Gilmore!

did this informer give you any information on who "big poppa" could be??
Posted by: Latina | November 13, 2008 at 02:05 PM
I heard that Big Poppa is Lee Najjar a big ATL real estate guy.
Posted by: J to tha da | November 13, 2008 at 04:42 PM
Wow! Please please PLEASE let this smackdown appear on the reunion show!
Posted by: Ubiquitous | November 13, 2008 at 05:45 PM
Is there really a Big Poopa? (typo but it fits) I thought he was just a big "Prop-a" created by the producers to WEDGE Kim into the show (much like they must use to put on her too big wigs and too small "shirts" (not blouses)and tooooo much makeup)
And thank you for 'splaining Lisa's druggie-hyper personality, I smelled the Ritalin from here. (I have to confess I did like one of Keith S's songs, but I'm like that.)
And Ne Ne may have been a stripper, and she may be loud, but she is the most eloquent of all the HW's. Deyawn is just pathetic and She-ra "axes" people when she has a question, and is so phony even Palin sees thru her.
My daughter was having her daily acedemic crisis, worrying that she wasn't smart enough for her latest college and I asked her to spell Cat. And guess what! She knew it wasn't K-A-T! So, don't worry, too much trashy tv doesn't melt your brains America! But if it does, Gilmore the super hero, revitalizes us with his humor and his art! Te Amo Gilmore!

Big Poppa is Quincy Jones... hence why she was able to get the vocal coach, producer and studio time so easily. He set it up for her.
Posted by: revealer | November 14, 2008 at 06:59 AM
I heard it was Kim that was the stripper not NeNe. It would fit for Kim. Funny thing, its like nobody like Kim, hmmmmmm wonder why?
Posted by: Lucinda | November 14, 2008 at 08:12 AM
oh hell, they're ALL trashy, pathetic, social climbers. Sheree's house is AWFUL with the faux painting everywhere; Kim lives in a row-home for chrissakes, so Big Poppa can't be that wealthy; DeShawn tried to PLAN a big fundraiser two weeks before the event (she's an IDIOT, and who hands over the design of their house to someone else? tacky and classless), and NeNe married her father, looks like. Let's face it, they're all a bunch of tacky-assed bitches trying to buy class and status, typical of social climbers everywhere, they're just louder and more obnoxious.

In-fooooor-mer, You know say daddy me snow me-a go blame
a licky boom boom down
Posted by: snow | November 14, 2008 at 09:54 AM
I truly believe that both NeNe and Kim are ex strippers or hookers. They truly do have street mantality.
Posted by: jenjer | November 14, 2008 at 10:03 AM
Wow. That's a lot of useless yet totally titillating information to digest so early in the day. LOVE IT! Please get more inside info on Kim's cheap-ass Dollar Store wigs. They're hilarious!

I can't help it, I love this show. I even tried to watch the other Housewives shows but I didn't like them as much. I really hope there's a season 2.

Here's the latest update from Lisa that was on the Essence website.

Big Poppa is in fact Lee Najjar.
J to tha da I'm curious how you found this out!
Posted by: apolitedelight | November 14, 2008 at 07:20 PM
Get your facts right... Kim, the broken down gold digger, verbally assaulted Lisa and defamed her.

You are so on the money with these chicks! Check out my take on their event disasters... www.theredcarpetevents.blogspot.com

I've heard from a someone who works at the Cheetah (a strip club in Atlanta), that Kim used to dance there. And her "boyfriend's" (Big Poppa) identity can't be revealed because he's still married.
Posted by: Jane | November 16, 2008 at 11:25 PM
How old IS Kim's eldest daughter?
How old was she when she became pregnant? Where is the father? Who is/are the father(s)?
Posted by: Ahem | November 24, 2008 at 03:50 PM
I donot think any of them have class. Money does not make you have class. I have alot of respect for Nene. She is real. She tells it like it is. It would be good if she toned it down a little. I agree with all the posts i have read. You all have legitimate comments. If you are hardworking you can make alot of money. If you can lie, cheat, steal, and sleep around. Then money comes easy. There are three of them i feel, have done this to get ahead. I watched this show today. I laughed and was very disgusted. They are an embarassment to all "Women" of America.
Posted by: Princess | November 30, 2008 at 02:10 PM
DeShawn has a horrible speech! I can't stand her laziness, lazy parenting, lazy wife, just lazy as hell! I have seen classy and she is truly a ghetto female who tries to use money to define her individual status. She needs to sign up for speech therapy. She reminds me of a out of shap black Jessica Simpson. She is truly rehearsed in everthing she says on camera. My 4 year old cousin can speak better than she can.

Let me Break IT Down:
People love NeNe for one reason. You can take away the cameras, the money, the diamonds etc. and NeNe would be Okay. She would make a life for herslef and her children. She is like many of us (fans of the show.
Can you honestly say the ANY of the other women could survive being a hardworking, productive parent or wife (without the cash). Lisa Hartwell is a fighter, true enough, but I don't know if she could handle being stripped down to nothing.
NeNe would be just fine. I could see her on Survivor like " WHAT? Ya'll better get it together."

I loved watching the show. Sheree wants to be more than what she is. She does not know how to be a Real friend to anyone nor does she know anything about fashion. She wants people to look up to her Fake Azz.. To bad NeNe got burned by that trick. At first I liked Kim she seemed to be down to earth and cool. I soon learned that Kim was two faced and uses sex to get what she wants. Oh and by the way Kim YOU CAN NOT SING!! And they showed Sheree supporting her but Sheree knows "Goodden Hell Well that Kim old Azz can't sing." That showed me that Sheree is a full of Shyt! Hey and who didn't know that Big Papa was married..Lisa started the mess between the ladies. Remember she was the one that told Sheree what NeNe said. DaShawn, I liked her a lot. She was quiet and classy to me. NeNe made the show. At first I did not like her but the more I watched that show the more I realized that she was the coolest and most down to earth person. And by the way NeNe husband was the most intelligent of the men on the show. I loved his comment during the last show. Lisa husband was just as messy as Lisa.

I started watchin the show and automatically didnt like Kim.Those wigs!!! It's funny she thinks she is hot.I sit and wonder the whole time I'm watching,what does her real hair look like.Is it that ugly she has to wear a wig or does she not have any at all. The reunion show I thought someone mentioned her havin cancer.She seemed to get a lil mad about the statement.She is as fake as this Christmas tree in my house.Other than that I loved the show.
