LISA WU-HARTWELL’S FAMILY DRAMA WITH EX KEITH SWEAT
Her name is Lisa Wu-Hartwell. She is the ex-wife of singer Keith Sweat and the current wife of NFL player Ed Hartwell.Lisa currently stars in the reality television show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Bravo,but don’t you call her a “desperate housewife.” The budding actress owns her own real estate firm, Hartwell & Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a children’s clothing line, Hart 2 Hart Baby;she is also a model and a mother to 13-year-old Jordan, 10-year-old Justin and 1-year-old EJ.It is Jordan and Justin,however, who won’t be starring in the Bravo series because their dad,Keith Sweat,won’t allow it.
VIA E!:
The drama on Bravo’s new The Real Housewives of Atlanta series began long before the cameras ever started rolling.Lisa Wu Hartwell, one of the five women showcased in Bravo’s latest Real Housewives incarnation, tells me she was hoping to have all three of her children on the show, but her ex-husband, late-’80s R&B hitmaker Keith Sweat, has gotten in the way.Hartwell and Sweat have two sons together, 13-year-old Jordan and 11-year-old Justin. “He didn’t sign a waiver,” Hartwell complains. “He’s like, ‘Lisa, it’s nothing personal. I just really don’t know how they’re going to edit and if they’re going to make you look crazy. I just don’t want the kids to be, you know, overexposed or anything.’ “
Hartwell doesn’t buy it. “They asked their dad if could they be involved, and he [said] no,” she says. “It could have been a Disney show and I don’t think he would have signed it.”
An email sent to Sweat through his official website has not been returned.For now, Hartwell appears on the show as if she only has one child, one-year-old E.J., her son with her current husband, NFL player Ed Hartwell.

Meanwhile,the “Desperate Housewives of Atlanta” held a premiere party for their show last night.Ms. Tami Reed of Talking With Tami got a chance to attend the festivities last night. CLICK HERE to see pictures from the red carpet!
Bad press is better than no press at all, Lisa would think. I believe this woman would show her dirty draws on TV if it would get her any air play or comments in cyber space, sad, sad, sad.
We’ve all seen what TV does to children, black and white alike so why would you want to expose your loving off spring to something so devastaing, unless of course you were a money hundry witch of a mother. A child is impressionable and when you hipe it up that he/she can be the next child star, well of course that kid is going to want to be with you and feel that the other oposing parent is hurtful and wrong for not letting them have the opportunity, but who would put on that child but someone like “Lisa”, what a rotten parent and what a manipulative !@#$@%.
If you’re going to be sucessful at all, by now you would show some type of sucess and the children wouldn’t be an issue in the sucess. THINK PEOPLE, THERE HAS TO BE A REASON THE JUDGE RULED IN HIS FAVOR for placement of the children.
One more question, why does she have to use Keith’s name at all in this whole senario, is it because his name get’s attention, the attention she so desparately seeks, Hmmm? Get your own life groupy, stop using people and your own children, all California people aren’t heartless pimps like this one, well ok, many are but not all LOL. I wonder who’s next on her list, watch out brutha’s, don’t fall into this trap.
Lookout, are your initials K.S.? I’m just sayin’… You seem so thoroughly invested in this drama. I guess you’re not alone. I’m reading all these posts. I’m bored and avoiding my workout tonight. What’s your excuse?
