As previously reported on Singersroom, R&B singer Keith Sweat's ex and mother of three Lisa Wu Hartwell is showing her 'real' colors on Bravo's 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta.'
According to an interview with Essence, Hartwell gets all too real for the upcoming reunion show (airing Nov. 25 on Bravo).
"Super drama. When you come after my integrity or my family, then you’re going to see a different person," Hartwell told the magazine, referring to a sparring match between her and co-star Kim Zolciak.
"I'm human and you have to let people know that they can't just say whatever they want to you."
"People need to know that yes, I'm a businesswoman but I'm also a sparring woman."
Taking a jab at Keith Sweat, her ex-husband, who she says refused to allow their sons the opportunity to appear in the reality series, Hartwell says:
"It was a difficult marriage, but it made me stronger and wiser. I don't believe that I didn't love myself, but I lacked confidence."
While she reportedly lost custody of the children, two boys with Sweat, Hartwell says she still doesn't get why Sweat received full custody when she was taking care of his other children as well.
"I've never done drugs, I don't party and I helped raise his kids. How do you take my kids when I'm raising yours ?"
'The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion show airs Nov. 25 on Bravo.

The first season I liked NeNe, however this season she turned into a real b****. It appears that a little fame went to her head and she has not handled it well. I feel sorry for Kim. All the others seem to pick on her (with the exception of Kandi) If you ask me they all are lying two faced b****es that backstabe each other. Everyone called Kim a lier, unless things went on that were edited from the show, it appears that Lisa was the biggest lier, and s*** starter. She went back and forth with gossip and tried to seem innocent. She's very beautify and smart, but she is also two faced. The realist person on the show last season was Deshawn, and this season is Kandi. Kim is physically fake, but I think she has a genuine need to fit in and to be liked. That's okay Kim, I like you.
I just started watching this season, but here's my take. NeNe is a ghetto mess, she's loud, and people mistake that as keeping it real. But I've seen episodes where she was saying one thing in the ladies' face, but another behind their back. Just like Sharee missed Lisa's show on purpose regardless of what she had to say. And the way she said that Lisa has no fashion sense has hater written on it. Her clothes were okay but they were nothing to be like "I've got to have that." Lisa is somewhat real, but kind of boring. Kim is a mess as well. She can't sing. Kandi, I feel, is the realest. She tried to stay out of drama, no matter how much NeNe apology wanting ass tried to start drama with her. NeNe was my least favorite of the season. And another thing about her, she didn't want to do the song until Kandi made it better. Then it was war time when Kim didn't want her on it anymore.
NeNe is a loud over barring trouble maker.she is a lier as well and a fake wantabe, ihave no resect for her and i think she is a striper whoe with no money.
personally, i love the show, because it's entertainment. however, nene is very ghetto and messy, but she will keep it real with you if she think's she can run over with her loudness. (at least she's a housewife) sharee, she tries to be classy but unfortunately she hasn't figured out yet, you cain't buy it, either you have or you don't, but she does try, she dosen't have the means to do so.(ex-housewife) kim, i think she was placed in the mix to be picked on, because she has no backbone, whom ever's poppin that who she's following, she's put in to fit that sterotype of stupid passive blonde's..(never been a housewife) lisa, she tries to keep her lady about her, but that inglewood come's out, but she's about business and spending her own money..about her custody battle, it's always three sides, her's, his and the truth..dosen't make her a bad mother..(she is a housewife)...
i love nene think she is real and i wont to know why lisa does not say anything about her two other kids on the show and kim is a s*** starter and sheree look's like a man and kim get a real wig that wig is for the dog
These people are human just like everybody else, no matter what their status they have drama too!
Lisa is a toothfaced liar and she tells on everyone like a kindergarten. I am begging Keith not to put his boys in trust with her and the boys. I love NeNe and she shoot straight from the heart and Kim please replaced her with someone else she can not sing and she start confusion with all the girls to have them at against each other. Kandis your mother has raised you to be a beautiful person, if you want to married AJ because what you feel in your heart and do not let what God have for you because of your selfish and heartless mother. Your mother needs to talk with you and AJ and gets to the problems why she do not want you to married because of children and baby moms. Kandis if you are happy with him and your heart say yes, then set up a appointment with Pastor Marvin Winnan to help solved this problem because your mother is hiding something from you both. NeNe I would love to meet you and Dwight because I love him because he's the one along with you make the show. Peace out.
Who cares
I love Deshawn for humbleness. NENE IS cream of the crop.
I love you NENE
How pathetic is Kim to be all over Sharee. You are so beautiful, you are so talented, wa wa wa get a life. I have never seen a grown woman fawn over another like that. Just pathetic. For the record, Sharee is attractive, but not nearly as gorgeous as she thinks. Lisa is definitely a fake instigator. Nene you just be you girl as ghetto and real as you please. Deshawn ....yawn.
Excuse me but when you tell someone you are there friend you never lie to them. So when Nene told Kim she could not sing wasn't being mean or non-supportive she was telling her the truth. Eventually, Kim got to hear how terrible she sound. I always, tell my girl friends the truth not to hurt them but to keep them from looking like a fool and because I love them.
I believe that they all have their own personal issues but NeNe is the most real out of all. Deshawn just chooses to stay out but it doesn't mean she doesn't have class or not. Kim is a liar and she got called out on it. Plus not only is she classless for sleeping with and accepting gifts from a married man she is not setting a good example for her daughters. Also if I were Lisa I would have said something too. A 'real' friend would have stepped up and made sure to tell them that someone is talking behind their back. And for anyone who says that a 'real' friend supports when their friend is trying come on the girl cant sing and 'real' friends should tell you that. But although I like Sheree she needs to fix some ways. She does have b*&% tendencies but I do like her.
Lisa is the one that increased the hostility between Nene and Kim. She did tell Sheree about the song! She acts like she wants everyone to get along, but she really feeds into the drama...just apy attention to how she was laughing when Kim and nene were fighting at the reunion. She loves it! Furthermore, she must have been a bad mother to lose custody of her kids. You do not lose custody for nothing! She is not being honest about the situation and tries to act like Keith Sweat is the bad guy. Keith is the one with real class! I wouldn't allow my kids on that show either. He was only protecting them.
KIM YOU SEEM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT "BIG PAPA" IS GETTING A "DIVORCE". THAT IS NO ACCOMPLICHMENT AS A WOMAN BRAKING UP A HOME AND BEING A DISHONET, UNTRUST WORTHY HUMAN BEING. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. REALIZE, THAT YOU HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS!! BIG PAPA YOU WILL GET YOUR IN THE END AND YOU LOST OUT WITH KIM BECAUSE ANY WOMAN THAT BREAKS UP A HOME HAS N O CLASS OR VALUES..YOU HAVE YOURSELF A 2 CENT WHORE. GOOD LUCK!
Kim, "Close your legs TO MARRIED men!" Trashy, nasty, 2 faced wanna be black b****! Nene, is the only one that tells it like it is. DeShawn is classy; Sharee is a undercover b****, hater and Lisa is cool but needs to be real with all the drama and be true to her involment. Good luck in the next upcoming series.
honestly i think they all r FAKE! first of all i dont care what dreams ur friend is trying to pursue u should support them regardless if u r a true friend. nene was wrong for making up that song about her suppose to be friend kim and lisa was wrong for telling. i think kim could have handled the situation better that what she did. deshawn seems like the only one who is not with the DRAMA. i liked lisa at first but she is a low key trouble maker. nene is a HOT ASS MESS!!!PERIOD! if u take a good look at her she looks like NEW YORK!! nene acts as if she is so rel but i doubt it nene is a jealous envious back stabber that doesnt like 2 c people doin betta than her. sheree is ok but she da fact that she depends on her divorce 2 make a living bothers me. the fact that kim is messing with a married man is ridiculous and low. i think that they as women have alot to work on.
Kim and Sharee are more like the DESPERATE EX-HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA. The live off the negative attention, to them it's better than no attention at all! Pittyful puppies! The rest are the ladies are doing their thing. Nene, you know better than to deal with Kim. The frindship is over my lady, Kim for the record find your own man next time and challenge your womanhood in keeping him and making him happy.
Kim, who ever Big Papa is, he got the hell out of dodge and dropped you like a hot potatoe. It's obvious you were nothing but his toy. The heat was coming on and he didn't want his wife to take him down with the divorce and 95 % of his earnings/investments. A woman that goes between any man and his wife/family is an animal in heat no class. It's obvious you are desperate for attention and are not woman enough to find and hold on to your own man. Sahree you are as foney/for as they come. You are a stright up hater and trouble maker then you sit back and watch the heat..you need your triflin ass whipped. Nene, I love you keep it real..it all comes from the heart. Lisa, you are a go getter and I love it..stay away from the riff rage like Sharee and Kim. DeShawn you are a class act..good luck with your foundation.
They are all FAKE WIGGIES...and MONEY HUNTERS! The sad thing about it all the children are all exposed to the poison! It's time for a CHANGE..I'm gald OBAMA is president..pay up your 25% in TAXES!!!!
oh yeah and who im missin Deshawn... I love that girl she is just so real and beautiful inside and out! and u know she was destined for success because she has devoted herself to being a good mother and a wife and now that her husband is retiring shes steppin up to bring home the bacon u go girl!
Kim... lol first of all i lose respect for anyone f***in around with a married man! u breakin up a home! and subjectin ur kids to that lifestyle and handing them everything because u had to work for yours is a no no... treatin ur daughters like a best friend is not going to gain a good relationship between u and ya kids.... u need to step in and be a mom! u aint foolin nobody with ur fake ass wig and ur non god given talent u claim to have! lol b**** cant even make a tune u sound and look like a tranny... and u aint no black woman trapped in a white girls body u just a white girl wishin she was a black girl!
and you know damn well she was the one who told sheree about the night nene sang that song! She fake in all ways...
To me shes a control freak if anythin dont go in her favor she start actin funny....
Lisa.... I dont think she's real at all. I sense a real fakeness out of that chick, and you can tell because u often see her laughin at the fact that sheree dont like nene...
and as far as Sheree that b**** aint worked for anythin she got! She married into it, and you cant say she a good mom considering the fact that everything is "me me me" oh me time this... and blah zee blah... u have ur kids at home with a nanny the majority of the time... cos u wanna be out there being grand! Shes a joke, she cant speak for herself shes got to go along with who she is at that point in time ... its like she feels she has to like and be the same things as the people she is with for that moment.... So for her to continuously say ppl are intimidated by her success! Bitch u playin ya self! and she the biggest instigator of em all if u can read between the lines u can see she be puttin down her so called home girls... example... " im not the type to hide in the corner in cry" u know that was pointed about deshawn at her fundraiser.... Now...
I think that I may have to disagree with some of you about Kim being the realist... Because if ur a real woman and you hear that ur best friend is talkin sh*t through someone u barely kno... dont u think ur gunna want to actually go head and call ya girl up and ask what the deal is! I have to say Nene earned my respect when she told the ladies straight up that had you asked me what was said I would have told u every single word! That is real! Yeah she may be loud and ghetto but thats just who she is! You cant hate the woman for being real! Some people just cant handle truth...
I actually liked the show. I have heard Lisa on about three different radio shows this week "clearing her name" of any drama. Why? If you did nothing, why do you need to clear up anything? I still think she is the one who told Kim about the song Nene was singing in the limo. DeShawn was there also, but she did not tell it. And Lisa and Ed were married after what, three months or three weeks. Less than 6 months I know. She is just like Kim. A gold digger. And yes, there is a reason the courts took her kids and gave them to Keith.
That damn Keith Sweat. How many kids does he have. I know he has a daughter age 20....how do I know....she's my sister and we all live in Sacramento. Did he take care of my sister. NO!
first of all if you call yourself friends then u don't critize what a persons dream is. second to all that dislikes sheree i think that she is a great example of class and hardwork keep it up nene u are giving the one's who like to say ghetto your making them real happy by your lanuage and the way you carry yourself
You know Women kill me..I can't understand for the life of me why women sit around talk junk about each other and then smile in that same persons face....I personally think that each one of the wives are fake in their own way..I think that Nene is that main instigator of all there problems....I personally think that she wants everyone else to be at odd and be miserable because that's how she feels and that's who she is, misery Loves Company.... Please stop hating on Kim. If you sit back and think about it, she is one of the only ones that isn't fake...Is it b/c she's white on a black girl show? If so, get over yourselves...
My favorite since the beginning was NeNe, Deshawn and Lisa. I didn't like Kim and who is Big Poppa she kept talking about, saying that he was a celebrity...everytime she called him, he would say yes, like to the car and whatever else he has brought her...But HEY....whatever....
I didn't care much for Sheree too much...
