The show, which stars Atlanta Exes Tameka Raymond, Monyetta Shaw, Christina Johnson, Torrei Hart & Sheree Buchanan premieres next week (August 18th) with the airing of two new episodes but the 1st episode was aired early on VH1’s website and through their facebook page.

In the 1 hour premiere episode, the ladies each are granted an individual introduction.? We also get to see a small glimpse of their personalities and how they will be interacting with each other this season.

Coincidentally, at least one of the ex-husbands appears on the first episode and in a thought-provoking scene with his ex, offers his own interesting perspective about celebrity relationships.

Watch the full first episode of VH1’s Atlanta Exes below…

The ?Atlanta Exes? sisterhood includes:

Tameka Raymond, ex of Usher Raymond, who admittedly struggling to move on with her life since her high-profile divorce and the death of her son, Kile, in a tragic boating accident.

Christina Johnson may be CeeLo Green?s ex, but they are still incredibly close since their divorce eight years ago. She remains a queen in his eyes, and he continues to shower Christina with lavish gifts and loads of attention.

Monyetta Shaw seemed to have it all until her dream world was rocked when her fianc?, Ne-Yo ended their engagement, a blow that Monyetta is still trying to process. Complicating matters is the fact that when Ne-Yo is in Atlanta, he still lives at home with Monyetta and their kids.

Sheree Buchanan is the life of the party and a self-professed cougar. She admits that she is still in love with her ex, former pro football player Ray Buchanan, but is way past settling for less than what she wants in her relationships and hopes to lead the other women by example.

Torrei Hart, who put her own career on hold so her ex Kevin Hart could pursue his showbiz dreams. She?s new to Atlanta and is ready to claim the spotlight for herself!

I’ve seen both episodes #1 and #2 that are airing on August 18th but I’m saving my recaps for the premiere date.

There’s certainly a lot to discuss about this show and I don’t want to spoil it for those who choose not to watch it yet…. but for those of you who are already ALL IN… feel free to comment about it below and I’ll probably be joining in on the conversation.?

How do you feel about episode #1 of Atlanta Exes?
