Advised by her children to not take on RHOGQ because “you have no filter,” the gorgeous widow, mother of three, and “boss lady”, is finding that it is this very attribute that is fast making her a celebrity.
And while the Real Housewives franchise is not everyone’s cup of tea, it should be remembered that it is “entertainment” that requires the viewer to "willingly suspend disbelief" in order to believe it for the sake of enjoyment.
For the 'uninitiated', Liz is described by the network as “A dedicated mom and socialite who loves jogging, Liz is a straight shooter. But beneath that bubbly exterior is a woman who is softer than she seems. Still recovering from the loss of her beloved husband, the construction project manager who sold her company for eight figures is navigating life as a widow.”
And proof of her rising stardom is a two-page feature in the latest edition of You Magazine - about which she said - ''Waking up this morning to such wonderful feedback from my article in the YOU magazine is so humbling for me, people can call me all kinds of names a bully, a b.. tch, rude, arrogant, mean, I know I’m none of those, I’m on this show to not only be myself but to inspire women who have been thru struggles, loss, and just plain old 's-t', feedback like this makes it all worthwhile."
Says Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net, “Since its debut in 2017, the local Real Housewives universe has been a hit with our audiences, bringing drama, wit, and glamour to our screens. Each installment has been a hot topic of discussion for viewers, constantly trending online and keeping audiences engaged. We’re excited to expand into the city of Gqeberha, bringing fresh faces into a world our viewers love.”S
