Amiyah Scott is the newest to join the cast of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The transgender model will join the show in its upcoming eighth season.
Scott is Bravo’s first ever- transgender woman to be featured in a Real Housewives franchise show.
It hasn’t been announced is Scott will be a major or minor character, and Bravo has declined to comment on the casting rumors.
Scott on “RHOA” will join many transgender figures on reality television, following “Big Brother” casting its first-ever trans contestant this summer; ABC Family’s “Becoming Us” from exec producer Ryan Seacrest, which documents a teenage boy’s life after his father transitions; TLC’s summer series “I Am Jazz,” which follows 14-year-old trans teen Jazz Jennings; and E!’s Caitlyn Jenner docu-series “I Am Cait,” which is currently in the midst of its eight-episode run.
This news follows the news that original cast member and fan favorite NeNe Leakes won’t be returning to the show.
