I’m not one to gossip, so you didn’t hear this from me…. but I heard that Lisa isn’t doing too well financially these days.
When Lisa first appeared on RHOA, she had just lost custody of her two sons to ex-husband, singer Keith Sweat.
Having rushed into a 2nd marriage with former pro-footballer Ed Hartwell, Lisa portrayed herself as a successful career woman with several budding businesses; a real estate firm called Hartwell and Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a T-shirt line called Hart 2 Hart Clothing, a women’s clothing line called Closet Freaks, and a baby clothing line called Hart 2 Hart Baby.
Needless to say, none of those businesses exist today and Lisa, whose 2nd husband, Ed Hartwell, divorced her last year, has been struggling to find her way every since.
