Ashlee Wilson-Hawn: Big Rich Atlanta Is Fake, Including Birthday Party Attended By Extras
Back in November, when The Style Network was confirming the names of the Big Rich Atlanta cast, reports surfaced about the production that had been completely fabricated to create a false society and false settings in which those “socialites” could interact.
One such report claimed that “drama” publicised as having taken place at “Buckhead Country Club” in Atlanta, GA was scripted. Moreover, no club by that name appeared to exist. The producers somehow thought no one would Google the fake club nor document production on social media. But locals claimed that nearby Brookfield Country Club had fake signage made for the show and it had announced as much in its newsletter ahead of time.
And now one of the cast members has admitted that the show is fake; scenes are completely fabricated in settings that sometimes don’t exist or have been staged to look more opulent.
Big Rich Atlanta star Ashlee Wilson-Hawn tells RumorFix.com she’s exposing the show in retaliation for being made to look like a racist bully.
Elaborating that anyone auxiliary to a scene is probably a hired extra, Wilson-Hawn says the birthday party on the show is fake but the altercation with co-star Kahdijiha Rowe that turned violent is real.
“I am incredibly mortified to be a part of this violence on this show!” says Wilson-Hawn. “The reality is Kahdijiha is not my friend. At the time of the filming, none of the girls were my friend. It wasn’t a real birthday party, it was a television ‘scene’ so it wasn’t real, but it became ‘real’ for my life.”
Big Rich Atlanta’s Ashlee Wilson-Hawn as a baby at her first birthday party.
She elaborates on how producers threw the birthday party scene together: “I didn’t know what the damn party was like until I showed up. The producers did that party. They had that s**t decorated. Anyone who knows me knows I would have a damn birthday party in the Havanna Club in Atlanta. I had my damn birthday in the damn Versace Mansion in Miami on September 28, which was my real birthday!” Sources verify few real friends were there and the rest were hired extras.
She says producers lied about it being a safe environment: “I was blindsided by the violence,” continues Wilson-Hawn. “I was under the impression, and the producers made it clear to me, that no one would ever get violent on the show… I never physically hurt Kahdijiha. The show was edited to make me look like the bad girl.”
Admitting that she agreed to be the show’s bad girl, she continues: “The villain is ultimately the star [but] I think our show takes the fake and takes it to another level.”
But she denies being a bully or a racist: “I never ever hurt anyone. I’m an opinionated powerful woman who gets what she wants. I never used a racial slur against [Kahdijiha]. I called her ‘a black girl’ and she called me a ‘white b**ch.’ She is a girl and she is black. I’m white and I’m not a bitch.”
