Amiyah Scott Joins The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Real Housewives of Atlanta can expect a complete overhaul this season as Amiyah Scott is the second housewife to join the series since NeNe Leakes decided to leave the show. Honestly it really isn’t to surprising that the producers of the Real Housewives of Atlanta picked Amiyah to join the show.


Amiyah Scott is a transgender woman who was born with the name Author, she began her transition nearly ten years ago, and has since then become a huge model in the fashion industry.


What isn’t shocking about this addition to the Real Housewives of Atlanta is quiet simple, Gender Transition has become a trend since Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner. Please DO NOT read this the wrong way. I am a gay man who 100% percent supports the LGBT community.


I have supported multiple friends and foundations over the past few years that deal with Gender Identity issues. I have been an ALLY of the transgender community since I was 10 years old! The only reason that I don’t find this shocking, is that ever since Caitlyn Jenner transitioned a few months ago, Transgender issues have finally become an Issue.


Since Caitlyn…. well became Caitlyn, Transgender Identity has finally been seen as a reality, instead of well… a mental condition. I AM HAPPY that the transgender community is finally getting the support it deserves! HOWEVER it does upset me, that it seems like every cable network is trying to use Caitlyn Jenner’s transition as a opportunity to garner more viewers and ratings.


Just recently Pretty Little Liars, one of my favorite shows, and one of the top rating cable shows to date, recently revealed that its main character “A’ or “Charles” is actually a transgender woman named “CeCe.” While this revelation was very shocking…. it also was upsetting to me.


Why hasn’t the world noticed the Transgender community before Caitlyn? I’m sorry but Caitlyn does not represent the transgender community. She does not represent the thousands of kids that are homeless because their parents did not understand their transition. She does not represent the LGBT community, because she knows nothing about it.


I’m pretty sure I just got way off topic! Both Kim Fields and Amiyah Scott will be joining the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Scott has been linked to be sexually involved with a few famous rappers, while Fields is of course a TV icon.


It’s expected that Amiyah Scott will only be a part time housewife, however Claudia Jordan was suppose to be a “friend” of the housewives last season and was promoted a week before the show began airing.


Its possible that Bravo TV is looking to see who will bring the most drama and action between these two ladies before making a choice on who will be considered “full-time”  Let us know what you think in the comment section below please!
