Gay men, who have arguably been the lifeblood of The Real Housewives fan base, will finally get a drama-filled reality TV show they can call their own.
If you like the wives, don't miss these new house guys, a narrator says in the trailer that appears to be a nod to Bravo's Real Housewives franchise. NBC News and Bravo are both owned by NBCUniversal. The cast members include celebrity stylist Brad Goreski, singer and choreographer Todrick Hall, actor Curtis Hamilton, entrepreneur Dori n Renaud, TV host and husband of Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett Jaymes Vaughan and entrepreneur Joey Zauzig.
MTV said the show will give viewers an up close and personal glimpse into the lives of the six friends, as they celebrate life milestones, work the red carpet and reveal their most intimate truths to family and friends. In a city and community where image and status are everything, they're ready to pull back the Hollywood curtain and reveal their most authentic selves, not just to one another but to the world, the network said in a news release.
Goreski, who started his career as a TV personality on Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, celebrated the announcement in an Instagram post.
Can't wait for you to meet my friends! Some social media users weren't eager for the debut.
One Twitter user wrote, "We went ahead and preemptively muted '' the real friends of weho from my timeline.
Another person said that the real friends of WeHo' feel like the title of a snl parody sketch. Alex Berg, LGBTQ advocate and journalist, cheekily wrote, "I ve been distracted from one national crisis, the House Speaker vote, by another national crisis, '' The Real Friends of WeHo. She later said I will probably be watching the show, because I will be honest and say that I will probably be watching the show.
