ATLANTA (AP) – Torrei Hart’s career took a backseat for years to raise two children, allowing her then-husband Kevin Hart to pursue his comedy career.
The two ultimately ended an eight-year marriage with divorce in 2011 after she says infidelity caused the split. By that time, Kevin’s career began to soar while Torrei struggled to get her comedy career back on track.
Now, she hopes it’s her time to shine. Hart is among a group of exes having yet another moment in the spotlight, thanks to a new phenomenon in reality television shows: spinoffs based solely on the ex-wives and ex-girlfriends of famous folks.
“It’s my time to come up,” said Torrei Hart, who along with five other women will star on the new reality series, “Atlanta Exes,” which premieres Monday night on VH1 with eight episodes planned for the first season. The show delves into the lives of the women who were linked to highly popular men.
It also stars Tameka Raymond (Usher’s ex-wife), Monyetta Shaw (Ne-Yo’s ex-finance), Christina Johnson (Cee-Lo’s ex-wife) and Sheree Buchanan (ex-wife of former NFL player Ray Buchanan).
