Gousman asked the ladies how did they became involved with the Housewives show. Burress said she was told by her hairdresser about the show while pitching another show with BET her former Xscape member Tiny and Lil Wayne's ex Toya Carter. She auditioned, the deal with BET fell through and got chosen. Parks said she was at a party with Tiny and Toya and knew of Kandis and was a attorney rep for many of the stars at the party when she was approached while pregnant and was on a leave of absence of her job, Andy Cohen (CEO of Bravo), who was producing" Being Bobby Brown", a show whose stars Whitney and Bobby she subsequently repped, was creating the Housewives of ATL show. Kandis called her about being on the show and was hired as well.
