The latest concoction to satisfy America?s craving for drama-filled reality entertainment comes from one of the top purveyors of the reality show medium: VH1. Continuing the trend of forcing the next best thing to a celebrity (the person they are sleeping with) into the limelight, the network is set to launch a series starring the significant others of famous Black actors and comedians.
Nicole Murphy, Jessica Canseco, Sheree Fletcher, Mayte Garcia, and?Andrea Kelly?will star in the series set to launch this summer. Don?t know them? How about Eddie Murphy, Jose Canseco, Will Smith, Prince, and R. Kelly? The stars of the show shared a marriage bed with these gentlemen, respectively, thus the show?s title, ?Hollywood Exes.? Cameras have documented the ?wives? of mobsters, athletes, and upper-class men in random cities across the country. It was only a matter of time before Black Hollywood had its turn.
How dare they!?!
According to the network, these women have been friends for years and are using the show to share their relatable experiences with America. TV guide summary aside, these women are using the success of their lovers to further their own careers. If this weren?t the entertainment industry, it would sound worse than it already does.
For example, if Bill Gates? wife started a small tech company just because she?s Bill Gates wife, the entire tech industry would badmouth her, some even in public. She?s riding his coattails, they would say. She?s using her connections to cheat people who have real talent out of an opportunity. If these sentiments sound vaguely familiar, it?s because this scenario of using relationships and position to get ahead in business is not far-fetched in any industry.
