  • Real Housewives of Atlanta: Dwight Eubanks’ Penile Implant Revelation Revs Up Part Two of Reunion

    Filed under:

    Real Housewives of Atlanta: Dwight Eubanks' Penile Implant Revelation Revs Up Part Two of ReunionLast year’s ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion, which featured a previously soft-spoken Lisa Wu Hartwell threatening to flip Kim Zolciak over the couch garnered some of the network’s highest ratings.

    Unfortunately, part two of the season two reunion show –which premiered Nov.5 — turned out to be even less lively than the first Bravo special.

    Zolciak,, was the focus of the first reunion special — with host Andy Cohen‘s many questions about her rumored fiancé Big Poppa, who allegedly showed up to the taping (but wasn’t shown on camera).

    There was a lot of back and forth about an alleged off-camera physical altercation between Zolciak and her on-again, off-again gal pal Nene Leakes too but a real turning point in the show involved a man and his endowment. And we’re not talking about money either.

    The ‘Tardy for the Party’ singer disclosed that Dwight Eubanks, commonly referred to as “The Fifth Housewife” has a penile implant.

    The Purple Door salon owner, who revealed to BV Newswire two weeks ago that he was bisexual, had no qualms with admitting his package enhancement. He even compared it to women having breast implants.
    Hartwell also got testy with Eubanks over his critique of her “fashion show,” but he offered up no apologies.

    Alas, Leakes and Hartwell didn’t hide their laughter when Zolciak took the stage singing her ‘Tardy for the Party’ dance hit.

    Zolciak (to her credit) sang live and accompanied by background dancers, but looked out-of-place on the stage. The mother of two also admitted to being a waitress at Atlanta strip club, Cheetah – denying rumors she was ever a stripper.

  • Real Houswives of Atlanta: Reunited, Drama-Free & Leaving More to be Desired

    Atlanta’s Opera nightclub served as the setting for the highly anticipated season two reunion of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ But unlike last year’s drama-filled reunion, in which Lisa Wu Hartwell threatened to throw Kim Zolciak over the couch, the Oct. 29 special was relatively fireworks free.

    Bravo’s Andy Cohen wasn’t able to muster a lot of details from the ladies, leaving fans disappointed by the most well-known and talked group in the ‘Housewives’ franchise.

    Instead of rocking her own clothing line, She by Sheree, Sheree Whitfield wore a Dolce and Gabbana frock. One viewer asked Whitfield whether she was a lesbian, to which Whitfield replied, “Get a life. I am okay with who I am, and I like men. Sorry, Kate.” She denied the rumors that she had a boob job, adding, “No, good bra.”

    Nene Leakes disclosed that she still has not found her biological father or taken a paternity test with the man she believes is her father because he is an alcoholic. The ‘Never Make the Same Mistake Twice’ author said she and Zolciak got into a fight because of rumors started by ‘Housewives’ stars from other counties.

    Cohen probed about the Leakes-Zolciak choking incident, but Zolciak refused to answer his question, adding, “And so what? We [need to] move on to something else. Like I said, I’m going to say it again, we’ve moved passed it. We’ve had a conversation. I know she wishes me to be successful, I wish her the same f***ing thing.”

    Cohen joked, “Am I alone in not buying this?”

    He refused to let the ‘Tardy for the Party’ singer keep him out of the loop about her relationship with a married man. Although Zolciak initially denied being with her mystery boyfriend, Big Poppa, who is reportedly Atlanta real estate mogul Lee Najjar, Cohen spilled the beans on that lie. Apparently, Big Poppa, who proposed to the mother of two during the taping of season two of ‘Housewives,’ turned up during a commercial break to give Zolciak a kiss.

    “When I got the ring, I was led to believe that the divorce was over. I made a mistake,” she said.

    Of his wife, who is also is named Kimberly, Zolciak said, “She’s fully aware. He is with me five or six days a week, [but] about six weeks ago, I was like ‘I’m not going to do this anymore and here I am.”

    She charged, “I wish you would get the hell off of Big Poppa.”

    “How do you support yourself?” Cohen inquired.

    “My song. I worked as a nurse and waited table at Bahama Breeze. I saved my money and have been very smart,” she replied.

    Lisa Wu Hartwell, who wore an outfit from her Closet Freak line, said she isn’t broke but that she and her husband, Ed Hartwell, downsized instead of living beyond their means. She is still working on having a baby.

    Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter Kandi Burruss, the newest member of the bunch, was very emotional as she discussed the death of her ex-fiance, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell. She said they called off their engagement in June, shortly after taping the series because her mother and A.J. had a blowout fight.

    “When I look back at it, I see a lot of the things that she had seen, but I wish that she went about it a different way,” Burruss said, adding that she was the first person to arrive at the hospital when she got the news that he died.

    Part two of the reunion special of ‘Housewives’ will feature an appearance from Dwight Eubanks, whom many call the sixth housewife. Zolciak will also perform her single ‘Tardy for the Party.’

    Part Two of the Reunion airs Nov. 5 at 10 p.m. EST on Bravo.

  • Dwight Eubanks: Keeping Things Real Regarding ‘Housewives of Atlanta’

    Dwight Eubanks: Keeping Things Real Regarding 'Housewvies of Atlanta'

    Make no mistake about it, no one behind the scenes is telling ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Dwight Eubanks what to do. The Atlanta native went from having a simple cameo as Nene Leakes’ scene-stealing “gay boyfriend” to becoming a main cast member on the second season of the hit Bravo reality television series.

    “I am not an actor. I was asked to come on and be a part of the show and to be real…I am not the sixth housewife,” Eubanks told the BV Newswire yesterday.

    “If I wanted to be with a woman, I will be with a woman and if I want to be with a guy, then I will be with a guy,” he declared. “I like all fruits, but I do have a problem with [people] dwelling on ‘Dwight the gay housewife.’ Let’s get to know Dwight.”.

    As of late, his no-holds-bar attitude has made his relationships with some of the ‘Housewives’ stars a bit tense.

    “I just don’t understand it,” he noted. “Some of the other people have problems with me being friends with the other women….girls harp on situations [like] ‘You said this,’ or ‘You did that’ versus saying ‘B****h, did you say this?’ and going directly to the source of the problem.”

    But, Eubanks isn’t holding it against them.

    “They perceive me as a b***h. I have nothing but love for all of them.”

    What many viewers of the successful Bravo television network franchise do not know is that the self-proclaimed style purveyor actually knew Sheree Whitfield and Lisa Wu Hartwell well before becoming fast friends with his close gal pal Leakes.

    “I knew Sheree and her husband Bob,” he revealed. “She had a store called Bella Azul [and] my partner at the time was doing Lisa’s hair and I knew of Lisa when she was going through her divorce situation [with Keith Sweat] but I didn’t really meet her until the show.”

    As for the show’s resident vixen, he adds, “I was really more friendly with Greg than Nene and we grew to be a part of each other’s lives and it grew to being what it was.”

    These days, the fashionable entrepreneur has grown incredibly fond of the newest ‘Housewives’ star, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss.

    “I met Kandi this year and never knew about Xscape,” Eubanks explained. “I like her as a person and her mother and I clicked and before I knew it I had dinner at their house.”

    Now, the unlikely pair do dinner together, often, and according to the former Saks Fifth Avenue style director, they have become a sort of adopted family.

    Until now, little has been known about the man that is Dwight Eubanks. Recently he’s been a little more open about his past – telling Essence.com that his minister parents beat him for playing with his sister’s dolls, until his grandmother helped them accept him for who he is. Born at Grady Hospital and raised on Atlanta’s Southside area, Eubanks credits his godfather with nurturing his love for hair by allowing a young Dwight to apprentice in his salon.

    As for his feelings on the show as a whole? “The reality show is what it is. We don’t have to agree. They have gone through a whole season disagreeing. And agreeing is not reality. I like to move on.” There are talks that Eubanks may soon have his very own television show, but until then he’s happy doing what he’s been doing for the past 21 years.

    “Reality television don’t pay no money. I had this life before [‘Housewives’] came on and I have four [mortgage] notes to pay – that’s a lot and I haven’t ventured off to doing any new ventures lately,” he declared.

    He doesn’t know how they will figure out what to do for a show of his own, adding, “most days I don’t know what to do with myself. I know I am a lot.”

    Off-camera, you can catch him at one of his two successful Purple Door Atlanta salons. “I still do hair every day and I enjoy being at the shampoo bowls. I like doing everything that I do. This is why I choose this profession.”
