Bravo's popular reality series "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and its recently-wrapped New York City spinoff will finally have a version featuring women of color.
In August, the network will premiere "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," featuring an African American cast of socialites, according to blog site YBF (Young Black & Fabulous).
Cast members include NFL wives Lisa Hartwell and Sheree Whitfield, as well as Deshawn Snow, wife of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Eric Snow. A wrap party for the first season, which just finished taping, was held at the Atlanta restaurant Straits, owned by Ludacris.
The show's Atlanta run is Bravo's first featuring any African American among the main cast members.
Sources associated with the program spilled the beans on the cast members, listed below, per YBF:
* Lisa Hartwell, a screenwriter and film producer who also is in real estate with her husband, Oakland Raiders player Ed Hartwell
* Sheree Whitfield, the former wife of retired Atlanta Falcons player Bob Whitfield. She is pursuing a career as a clothing designer and used to own a store call Bella Azul
* Nene Leakes, who develops real estate with her husband
* Deshawn Snow, wife of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Eric Snow
* Not much was known about the fifth housewife, except that her first name is Kim.
