Girl Power: Essence Atkins, Demetria McKinney And Vivica A. Fox Film Sitcom Pilot
By: Angela Wilson / April 3, 2015
Looks like Real Housewives of Atlanta star Demetria McKinney, Hollywood veteran Vivica A. Fox and Essence Atkins of A Haunted House fame will join the Olivia Popes, Cookie Lyons, and Mary Jane Pauls in the network of leading ladies of color.
McKinney, who was noticeably absent during the Housewives reunion taping, let the cat out the bag yesterday (Apr. 2) via Instagram of a new sitcom pilot she filmed with Fox and Atkins. Details of the pilot has been on the hush, but we’re looking forward to more girl power dominating the silver screen.
I can’t say too much now, but I just shot a great sitcom pilot with these beautiful actresses, @essencesays and @msvivicafox. #workingactress #100 #TradeItAll
Hahahaha. I always loved children but old people creeped me out until I was a certain age. Weird because I adored my grandparents.
This old lady in church use to complain to my mom that I wouldn't hug her and my mom would come looking for me and make me hug her! and girl, I would cry like my mom was giving me away. Hahahaha.
I grew out of that though. Certain older women did intrigue me if they were sassy or funny.
I don't know why things are so funny in church. I think it's because you know you are not supposed to laugh as it seems irreverent. Lol
Girl, once my baby sister and I visited a church with one of my older sisters and her then husband who thought he was a preacher (#catchthatshade) and the church had like 3 members. Ha!
My sister and I went because my bro in law begged us to come and support. We had never been to that church and didn't know they didn't have any members but we had seen and knew the pastor of that church (my bro-in- laws friend) was F.I.N.E. foine so we relented.
We were in our early twenties.
My sister and I are already chuckling before service starts- my brother in law had made us sit on the front row because hardly no one was there. We knew he wasn't a good preacher.
Everything was funny for no reason. From the way he stepped around the pulpit, to the way he was expecting a response from 3 people. We snickered and fidgeted a lot trying to keep it all down.
My brother in law was so mad at us.
We managed, though. Until it was time for communion. When they took the top off of the bread tray- now, I'm used to wafers or crackers but girl, this was like a whole loaf of bread- I think it had sesame seeds on it - my sister and I lost it.
I was bent all the way over in the front row pretending to be going through my purse - we were both sneezing, and snorting- tears -little bit of howling - trying to stifle the laughter- in full view. You could hear a pin drop in that church it was so empty and here we were on the front row- right in front of the pulpit. It was awful.
The more we tried to stop the worse it got. That whole scene with the first flash of that loaf of bread and them lifting the top off just kept replaying in my head - we were so weak.
To make matters worse, because of the desperate, reckless, fumbling around looking for nothing, trying to fake something that would give me a reason to be doubled over, all the change I had fell out of my purse and some of the coins rolled up to the communion plate like they were going up to take communion-
That was just too much. Even now.
After we got ourselves together, We were so embarrassed and really felt bad - we wouldn't even take the communion. I'm not sure he would have let us have it.
Needless to say he didn't ask us again. He shouldn't have put us on the front row, though.
Girl, we still laugh about that- good thing the three people that came were already saved. LOLOLOL.
I will definitely start reading Ecclesiastes.
Sorry- should have read this first before I asked all those questions about the Porsha tweet/article. Hahahahahaha.
By the way, I was trying to tie in Porsha's tweet with the article you posted about the RS ratings, NOT Kenya's blog. I understood the blog was only FYI purposes.
I hope something got mixed up here but, Porsha would be a fool to lie - she would get outed sooner or later.
Yes, she definitely looks like a tranny. Straight dude in the face. I crack up when people call her Arsenio hall.
And why does she look so nasty? Even with clothes on.
Ahhhhh, got it. I understood the gist- didn't catch the square card reader ref. but should have.
Wow - spicy read.
I don't get the Lalate article since;
1. They really didn't explain anything- like the panning back and forth.
2. They didn't say they were quoting Kenya so, how do they know whether or not James was in Vegas. Unless I missed Kenya's or her friends quote. And if they asked James, what incentive would he have to say yes?
3. Forget the certificate, don't you have to apply for a marriage license? Can't you find out if they at least applied?
4. What difference does it make that the registry listed the address, time and date? You don't need a notary present to prove you are being truthful about that- you just show up and give them whatever info you would like them to have. Means nothing.
5. "They announced their engagement in April before the wedding". When did they do that? April 31st? And, so? That means nothing either.
Odd right? What do you think?
LaLate is normally very supportive of Kenya, too. I don't understand their angle here. Did it sound a little shady to you?
Not saying the marriage is not legit but, imo their article wasn't really informative.
We could have written a better article with the info we had if all they wanted was clicks. Hahahaha.
I usually like them.
You know, LaLate was where I first read that Kenya's show was going to happen.
Kenya had made the statement after that, that she could have a spinoff but she chose to do her sitcom. So I knew it was supposed to happen on Bravo but, never knew it actually made it on the schedule/roster.
It makes sense now, your explanation that Janet Hubert threw a wrench in it.
Why didn't Andy or Kenya explain instead of letting people believe/ spread innuendo that her work wasn't good enough to get picked up. That's the part I am still baffled about.
Lol, @ James and Jaimie trying to get a job @ Match.com. Thought he already had a great job making 500k?
I heard match gets some of their attractive members to do "success" commercials. That might be what they are trying to get. Lol.
So sick of VF & so over Andy trying to steal plays out of Donald Trumps play book- pitting and playing up every one against Kenya for ratings.
Glad the article made her and Andy look like jokes. I used to like him.
Crazy about that sitcom though! Good catch. Maybe that's why Vivica turned down the HW's.
