“Real Women of St. Louis”
*C’mon now, did you really think reality television had reached its quota on female-driven drama?
If the answer is affirmative, think again, baby! “The Real Women of St. Louis” have thrown their hats into the ring.
Y’all better recognize!
You may wonder what an Ex-con, a Child Care Provider, a Beautician, a Stripper-turned-Nurse, and the CEO of a Publishing Company have in common. They’re all sassy, sexy, and they love St. Louis!
But here’s where these sistas plan for their show to differ, ’cause the way they see it: Ain’t nothing “real” about women making astronomical sums of money based on whom they marry.
The “Real Women of St. Louis” know they represent African American women from every major city; and define real life as “everyday women turning negative experiences into positive outcomes.” These women know how to make things happen. They depend on no one.
Ida, LaRhonda, Chastity, Kelly, and LaShonda are the five real-time divas who make up the “Real Women of St. Louis.” Two fraternal twins, five entrepreneurs; they work multiple jobs, attend school, own real estate, manage their investments, cook, clean, raise their families, fight for child support; and on top of all that, (no pun intended…keep reading)
“Still find time to f*ck our husbands.” Their words, not mine
Is that real enough for you?
LaRhonda Johnson, a beautician and real estate owner, is the brainchild behind the show, and its executive producer; and the pilot, which was shot independently (“on their dime”), is currently being shopped around to various networks. This is what making things happen looks like folks! Viewers will no doubt run into promos where the show was previously referred to as “Reel Women of St. Louis,” with the operative word here being “Reel.” But this was done to prevent a potential rights issue, which in the end, was no issue at all, and the formal title uses the word “Real.”
Interesting to note, the short clip they posted on YouTube got thousands of hits after only a few short hours (no one was more shocked than these women, who say they have no idea how this happened!). If the interest in this project is any indication, these women from St. Louis may be well on their way to other destinations in no time. But for now, they have been booking interviews on local TV programs, and other news and talk show outlets are calling.
In this clip, Chastity and Ida speak with KSDK 5 in St. Louis. Chastity says, in the whole scheme of all-things-reality, she thinks St. Louis is often overlooked.

Just when you thought reality Tv had gotten ghetto enough, enter the Real Women Of St. Louis.
Enough is enough of you blacks women makeing black women look bad it do not take all of that that, that’s not what a Real Women DO ,be A Classic lady with class please. talking loud don’t get it.
I’m hoping this may be different. I can’t believe no ones applauded the entrepreneurial spirit of the creator and executive producer in aiming to own our own likenesses instead of selling them to the highest media conglomerate bidder.
All I know is I see some PHAT ASSES and THCKNESS!!!
Everyone alway have neglective comment.this show may not b like all SHOWS!!!
What I can say they all r Very pretty. They look classiy to me.
I’ll pass like I did with all the other ones.
I’m tired of “Our Sistas” getting on national TV and not conducting themselves like respectable women. Then they want the Entertaiment Industry to treat them like “A” List celebrities.
Why do we always have to have all this neck movement and drama!!! I’m not so sure about this show it reminds me of the other reality shows. Give us something with more substance Sistas!!!
I’m gonna do like the quarterback and PASS!! LOL!!!!!
Lets make up a show using other cities.
Here’s Mine:
Real Housewives (Women) of Trenton
Come on people don’t be so negative about it. Bc if It was you guys y’all would want people to support y’all and respect y’all too. I’m going to watch the show just like i show every other black tv show. Because it funny to me and I love watching all the black women show. Why not give them so support and respect. They just trying to feed there family just like everybody else in the world. If the want their life on tv what the hell with it.
But you go ladies bc I will be in front of the tv when it air. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESSED!!!
