The Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie Pinky Cole is done staying quiet about the noise around her vegan empire and those wild rumors that she doesn't actually stick to her plant-based diet. She sat down with the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real to address everything fans have been talking about since Season 17 dropped.
Let's be real, the meat-eating rumors hit different when you built your whole brand on vegan food. Pinky founded Slutty Vegan, the Atlanta restaurant chain that became a cultural moment, and suddenly people are asking if she's secretly eating chicken behind closed doors. She's not having it.
During the interview, she got real about where her head's at with the RHOA cast. Season 17 has been messy already, and as the new girl on the show, she's had to navigate some tricky dynamics. Pinky didn't hold back talking about who's really in her corner and who's just here for the drama.
The Slutty Vegan bankruptcy talk also came up, which was a rough moment for her business empire. But if you know Pinky, she's built her name on not backing down. She's turned challenges into conversations, and that's exactly what she did on the podcast.
What's interesting is how Pinky is using these platforms to take control of her narrative instead of letting the rumor mill do it for her. That's smart. Nigerians and Africans in the diaspora have been watching her moves closely, especially as more of us see representation in these spaces.
The full podcast dropped, and fans are already picking apart every word she said about the cast drama and her business moves. RHOA fans know this season is far from over, so expect more tea to spill.
