There's a new edition of The Real Housewives of Atlanta... this time it's the 'Real Husbands' edition.
All jokes aside, in this never ending saga Ed Hartwell, husband of Lisa Wu and step father of Keith Sweat's sons has spoken up for the first time about Sweat and his wife's appearance on the hit Bravo show.
"I had to lay down the law, man to man," Hartwell told Essence.
"The reason is because [when I started dating] Lisa there was a lot that I had to stop from happening."
As previously reported, Hartwell and Sweat have been at odds over the R&B singer's decision to prevent his two sons from appearing on the show. But according to Mr. Hartwell, he and Lisa look to have the boys on season two of the show despite his troubles with Sweat who he says he does not get along with ...."at All."
"I'm looking
forward to it, and I hope everything works out and that we can have
both Justin and Jordan be a part of this family experience. People
would be able to see that we are a family and spend time with them as
much as we can."
As for being 'on camera' for another season, Hartwell seems excited now that he knows how they work.
'I think the second season will be a lot easier," but admits "I know Lisa doesn't do drama, she got dragged into it because she's human and was offended,' he says revisiting the season finale of the show and expected 'housewife throw down' on the upcoming reunion show.
As for the infamous phone call, Hartwell says "Yes. [She made a call]. Did she threaten her life? No. [The ladies] are taking it way too far but eventually the truth will come out because there are only so many lies that you can continue to tell other people [before] they start mistrusting you, after a while you lie so much you begin to forget your own lies, which has been happening. It's all catty."

Lisa is one of my favorites on the reality show but I must admitt I was very shocked when I found out about her ex and her other 2 children. She's portrayed to be such a good girl and live this perfect life with a fairytale marriage.
i like lisa i think she is a very strong minded person. im also a huge fan of keith sweat . i pray that they come to a positive desioun concerning their boys. THEY ARE STILL HER BABIES TOO.
I love the show Real Housewif of ATL. I'm glad to have ready a few article about Lisa Wu Hartwell. Good judgment call by Keith Sweat, I'm afan of reality shows but I think that parents should think twice about including their childen on these shows. Lisa looks like she needs anger management. It's not a good idea to include your children on shows like this.
How you gonna "lay down the law" to man who is the biological FAThER of the kids. You cont tell a man what he gon do with his own biological kids. PLEASE.Worst than that he has custondy of the kids. So i dont kow what Lisa did. Bue EVEYBODY KNOW THAT THE COURST ARE BIASED WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN. So for him , a man , to get cusotdy of the kids says her ass must have been messed up .
Snoop,
Keith did not want the kids to shown in the wrong in front of the kids. Keith has sole custody of the kids. Think about this how can Hartwell lay the lay down to someone who has sole custody of the kids??
i love keith
i love lisa shes my fav
I really don't do TV too often but I got lured into the Real Houswive of Atlanta behind flipping channels in my sleep. Why does Keith not want the child on TV? Becasue he is jealous of the relationship between Hartwell and his step child?. Thats not good. I on the other hand am very careful how I would expose my children. ATL will not be on forever and you have to look at the athermath. Also its important that you ask the child as well how he feels about the situation if he's old enough to understand
well i don't know all the drama is about then again we don't know the whole story!! but if it's about the men not liking each other then that's their problem and should not involved the boys they are part of the family also it's petty to me sounds like a bunch of catty women hopefully they will work out their differences and think about the children for a change
