Reality Stars Get Real About Being Bold, Brave, and Black on TV

It’s time to stop being fake and start understanding the Black experience on reality TV.

If you browse through your favorite DVR or streaming service, chances are unscripted programs will show up at the top of the list.

And while shocking drama, competitions, or eliminations are what get people talking week after week, perhaps viewers should also discuss the diversity — or lack thereof — that goes into making their favorite shows. .

“Even if you turn on the TV and see our beautiful faces, you’d be amazed who isn’t behind the camera,” Eva Marcille exclusively tells E! News. “Who’s not into hair and makeup and glamor and all things advice for black women.”

This is just one of many important topics Eva, Married to Medicineit’s the dr. Jackie Walters and old Survivor competitor Lauren Ashley Beck discussed during a candid roundtable with E! News’ Francesca Amiker as they shared their take on what it’s like to be bold, brave and black on reality TV.
