The Real Foreclosed Housewives Of Atlanta

The Foreclosure Edition

August 11. 2009  

Another star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” has lost her home. Previously, NeNe Leakes was evicted from her rented home in the Sugarloaf Country Club in Duluth, Georgia, also home to Michael Vick and previously T-Boz of the girl group TLC.

Sheree Whitfield, was the next housewife from the show, forced out of her property, due to a foreclosure on her marital home, valued at the $3,000,000, because her husband stopped making the mortgage payments. The property was auctioned by the bank for $900,000.

Now, Lisa Wu Hartwell has lost her $3,000,000 home she shared with husband, football player, Edgerton Hartwell. The couple tried to have the mortgage modified with no success. They have since moved to a new property, after the bank evicted them for non-payment.

There is a lesson to be learned from all of this. The show advertises hedonism, avarice and excessive consumption as the way to live, when it's not. On the show, they worship money, which is destructive.

There is nothing wrong with working hard to support one’s family, but the love of money is the root of all evil, as the Bible says. There is a difference.

When backbiting and fighting over money and appearances of wealth, destroys families and friendships, how can that be a good thing.

Disclaimer: I know quite a few people in Atlanta and none of them behave like the people on the show.

'Real Housewife' Loses House, Still a Wife

Posted Aug 11th 2009 1:45AM by TMZ Staff - Lisa Wu-Hartwell needs a "Big Poppa" of her own ... the real housewife of Atlanta just lost her real big house in Atlanta.

TMZ has learned Hartwell and her husband, former Oakland Raiders linebacker Edgerton Hartwell, were booted from their multi-million dollar Georgia mansion last week -- after the bank foreclosed on the place and sold it shortly after.

Hartwell's rep tells us the couple was in talks with the lender to restructure the loan because the home had lost value -- but that failed. They originally bought the place for $2.9 mil back in 2007 -- but the bank only got $1.9 mil when they resold it this month.

The rep says "Ed and Lisa are fine. They have settled in their [new] home, that sits on 10 acres and they OWN it!"
