US WeeklyReal Housewives fans are confused about movie plot
On Reddit, Real Housewives fans shared their thoughts on Denise and NeNe’s new movie roles.
“What is this mess? Is it scripted or do we get a sort of Survivor-Housewives thing? Will their glam teams be there?” one fan commented.
“The name makes no sense with this synopsis. Shouldn’t it be ‘surviving housewives?’ Or something like that,” another user added.
“Pass. Not a fan of either of them,” someone else wrote, throwing shade at Denise and NeNe.
Although Denise and NeNe’s Lifetime movie is about housewives, both women have acting experience.
Denise has a long history in the TV and film industry, and is most known for her roles in “Wild Things,” “The World Is Not Enough,” and “Love Actually.”
After NeNe became a household name on RHOA, she pursued an acting career. She was a guest star on the popular TV show “Glee,” and a series regular on “The New Normal.”
While Real Housewives viewers aren’t as familiar with Denise and NeNe’s acting roles, the women can show off their talent when they join forces in their new movie.
Hunting Housewives premieres on Saturday, March 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
