Real Housewives of Atlanta stars attended cast member Kenya Moore‘s Hair Care Launch event in Atlanta last night. Kenya (center in white) held court as the other ladies ate chocolate truffles and sipped wine. Bravo’s cameras were rolling as filming for the upcoming season of RHOA got underway.

Attending Kenya’s event were RHOA regular cast members Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, and Phaedra Parks (pictured above with cast hopeful Kim Fields). Also attending were cast hopefuls Porsha Williams, Marlo Hampton, Malorie Bailey, Sheree Whitfield, and Claudia Jordan.
Popular transvestite escort Amiyah Scott filmed scenes for a potential guest spot on Real Housewives of Atlanta season 8. Despite an erroneous report from gossip tabloid TMZ, Amiyah did not join Bravo’s highly-rated reality TV series. He is among a handful of hopefuls — all biological females — who are actively auditioning for 2 parts. And the competition is fierce, baby.
Bravo tested the waters by inviting Amiyah, who was born Arthur Scott, along with his boyfriend, Atlanta hairstylist Kellon Deryck. Amiyah’s impressive resume includes steady work as a paid escort for numerous down low rappers in Atlanta and beyond.
Kenya’s event was supposed to take place on Saturday at a different venue — but Kenya being Kenya — she reportedly refused to pay the owner of the venue. So Bravo’s producers made a mad scramble to find a new location by Monday.
Local reality stars Keke Wyatt and gay hairdresser Lawrence also stopped by to sample the food and drinks and to be seen.
Marlo Hampton (pictured right) burned so many bridges with Porsha (right) and the other cast members, that it’s a wonder she was invited back for a tryout.
