New “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member and Slutty Vegan founder Pinky Cole promised drama for Season 17 during an interview at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to promote the franchise’s return tonight on Bravo.
Pinky didn’t specify much beyond what was seen in a trailer because housewives are told only to say so much, but she is also well aware Bravo needs fresh eyeballs to a long-running show that has seen ratings slide in recent years.
