Jezebel: 4 out of 5 Real Housewives of Atlanta” are broke”

Reality TV lies to us again! We shake our fists and curse at you, reality TV!

The enterprising scribes at gossip blog Jezebel have sifted through hours of reality-show reels — and some local television investigations — to uncover what many people surely have assumed all along: the stars of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” may not be as posh as they portrayed themselves.

Among the allegations Jezebel reports: NeNe and her “real estate investor” husband Gregg were evicted from their home — it was a rental (!) — and that the actual relationship between the two is unclear. Sheree’s put her house on the market for $2.8 million and is arguing her divorce settlement all the way to the state Supreme Court. Lisa filed for bankruptcy after she couldn’t repay a $150,000 loan from ex-husband Keith Sweat (we feel ya, Lisa!). Kim’s selling her townhouse in a terrible market but is dating a plastic surgeon (score!). And it turns out a quasi-scandal during her teenage years in Connecticut helped clarify speculation about her age. DeShawn is DeShawn and apparently doing OK.

While I feel for these ladies — who, in their own special way have done so much to improve metro Atlanta’s image — I, being the 80s-baby that I am, am more concerned about my own well-being. And frankly, this is not good. I now have nothing to watch with my dear friend after we get our nails did.
