This Sunday will bring with it the return of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘, the highest-rated ‘Housewives’ reality series in NBC history.
Today, as fans continue to learn of storylines fronted by its current line-ups, they are to discover that one of its originals has made a surprise return to the series seven seasons after her departure.
Replaced by Cynthia Bailey in season 3, Lisa Wu stood alongside NeNe Leakes as one of the show’s original wives by way of her marriage to the athlete Ed Hartwell.
This year she returns to the show alongside fellow original Kim Zolciak.
Kandi Burruss broke the news in the interview below…
Unfortunately, Wu will not return to the platform as an official ‘Housewife’ and is expected to continue pursue a career in Hollywood via Carlos King’s ‘Hollywood Divas.’

WHY? wasn’t kim boring enough? will they just pay Mrs. Leakes those coins and let her verbally assault these lessers….
Sharee, Nene, and Lisa the original OG’s the ATL housewives… Only person we need is Kim back to make the drama complete (but I know her husband wouldn’t go for it). Looking forward to this season!
I think Lisa will only be ok the finale. Her and Kim Z were at Sheree’s house warning
So they brought back Sheree, Kim, and Lisa, whos next… Deshaun Snow? All these stunts for ratings, just pay Lenethia Leakes.
please ….
DeShawn is too busy paying her tithes to Bishop Eddie Long
I met Lisa Wu. She is so very sweet and as pretty in person as she is on TV. It’s weird that for her and DeShaun Snow, the major drama started after they left the show. I’m glad she got a spot of Hollywood Divas.
I’d rather have that big booty ex husband of hers .
I don’t want her back. She’s better without the show
Let see how it would turn out to be
