Published by Daniella Wilson

In August 2019, Sholonda was back in the studio for the 19th time to film for Maury — but this time, she wasn’t the one who would run. She received the typical boos and thumbs-downs from the studio audience at the Rich Forum in Stamford, Connecticut when the host revealed how many times she’d graced the daytime talk show’s stage to air her personal drama. But she quickly won them back, earning a wave of cheers when it was announced she had recently lost 150 pounds. But Sholonda was about to get a slap in the face. Before she even stepped onto the set that journalist-turned daytime talk show host Maury Povich used for the final 14 years of his 31-season run, the audience had learned that her husband, Tyrell, and daughter, Deanna, were having a shocking secret affair — and that Tyrell was claiming to be the father of Deanna’s toddler.

Published by Daniella Wilson

The smallest state with the biggest attitude is already making waves in the Real Housewives franchise.  Last May, Bravo announced that Rhode Island would be the latest addition to its repertoire, enticing viewers to see what the women of the teeny tiny state could be getting into. As it turns out, there’s a lot going on in the smallest state in the nation.   The arrival of the new series arrives amid the landmark 20th anniversary of the whole franchise itself, as The Real Housewives of Orange County debuted on March 21, 2006.
