Sweat's 'Ex-Housewife' of Atlanta 'Throws Down,' Talks Keith, Custody and Reunion

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.

I love she is Nene she's my girl. She keep it real.
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
