I believe that reality TV has hit a all time low. I have to say I was quite excited to tune in to Hollywood Divas tonight, given the fact that I admire most of the women on it. This view took a turn for the worst the second the show aired. We are all used to the token mean girl, but usually she does not show her true colors for at least 2 episodes.
It was clear that all of the ladies are currently in the same stage of their careers, trying to figure out their next move. While Paul Jai seemed to have a solution and a way to bring the ladies together, she turns out to be harboring old feelings from decades ago. What started off as an amazing idea to bring black actresses together in Hollywood quickly turned into a shade throwing extravaganza.
Elise was a women that I looked up to because she has had longevity in a dog eat dog industry However I never imagined that she would be a nose in the air type of chic. This side of her she let show on last nights episode was not so pleasant. While Countess tries to figure out where all the animosity is coming from, new comer Lisa Wu defends her right to be among the ladies.
This is only episode one and these ladies can't seem to put their egos to the side long enough to have a conversation. Lisa Wu mentioned there was no content for black actresses in Hollywood, with the display of such infantile behavior this very well can be true. Black women have a hard enough time proving that they are more than attitude and neck rolls. I feel this show does not display them in a good light at all, and if anything they will lose more fans than they gain from this experience.
Reality tv can make or break a persons career. What started out as a look into the lives of the people we admire has turned into a display of circus like behavior. We have to do better!!.
What was your outtake on episode one? Will you tune in again?
