I love this picture of Chenoa Maxwell, just kicking up her heels on a Saturday night! I don’t know who’s car she’s on, but the guy can’t be too mad at her, right?

I love it when I can mix business with pleasure. And that was certainly the case when the cast members of OWN’s “Love in the City” brought their East Coast vibe to Philippe Chow in Beverly Hills on Saturday, May 17, 2014 for a viewing party.

My client, two-time Emmy-winning celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright, along with  her BFFs — that is, actress-turned-photographer Chenoa Maxwell and breast cancer survivor Bershan Shaw mixed and mingled with fans, while watching the latest episode of their docu drama on Oprah’s network.

You embarrassed yourself! But not only that, you embarrassed every dignified, African American woman in America! I hope these girls read the open letter my friend Tanya Young Williams wrote on Huffington Post.

NeNe, maybe it’s time for you to make a grand exit from the show. When I repped you, I always said, “Girl, you never leave a top-rated show!” But now, ya’ll are fighting and carrying on … I mean, even the mother of Kandi Burruss — Mama Joyce, and her Geritol gang — was trying to start some mess on an episode this season. I’ll text you later about it.
