Lisa Wu Hartwell Leaving "Real Housewives of Atlanta"


BV Buzz can report exclusively that 'Real Housewives of ATL' star Lisa Wu Hartwell is leaving the hit Bravo reality series.

Speculation that the originating cast member from the 'ATL' franchise was leaving the show began earlier this spring when talk that she was only shooting on a limited production schedule surfaced online.

Now BV Buzz has learned that the 38-year-old real estate mogul, who is currently married to retired NFL star Ed Hartwell, parted with Bravo "amicably" over "creative differences."

"They basically wanted to script elements of Lisa's life and make her amp up the drama. She wasn't with that at all. Lisa felt like if her real life alone wasn't enough for the network, then maybe it was time for her to go," a source close the production told BV Buzz.

Hartwell, the ex-wife of R&B singer Keith Sweat, will be featured on "as many as three" episodes of the new season; however she will not be featured in the season three photos and opening visuals.
Well this is a surprise, unlike Dina Manzo I don't think anyone had a clue that Lisa was unhappy with 'Housewives'. Plus, I always liked Lisa, she brought an air of sanity and realness to the Atlanta series and who can forget the episodes dealing with her brother's death or how she got in Kim Zolciak's ass at the season 1 reunion show? Tho we never got to see Lisa's kids with singer Keith Sweat, Lisa and Ed made for a great couple and I enjoyed watching them esp. while Ed dealt with his decision to retire from the NFL. Lisa Wu will be missed.
