From alumni still seeking fame to completely stepping out of the spotlight, these supporting Bravo-lebrities have made names for themselves outside of reality TV.
Fan favorite Miss Lawrence (née Washington) first appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 1 as a hairstylist for Sheree Whitfield, per his Bravo bio. Miss Lawrence owned his own salon in Buckhead, Ga., boasting celebrity clients like Ciara and Serena Williams.
The moniker Miss Lawrence is rooted in the beauty industry, as he explained to Windy City Times. "Growing up in the South, I have always been extremely in tune and comfortable with the woman that lives in me. I always kept close with my masculine side too. I think that is where the breakdown of gender nonconforming takes place," he explained. "I found a lot of space and freedom in the beauty industry to self explore...Once I got on RHOA through one of my clients, they called me Miss Lawrence – and I was known for it even more." Per the outlet, Miss Lawrence uses both he and she pronouns.
