Oh? Is RHOA’s 1st Transgender Castmate King  Amiyah Scott  is Faking Her Relationship For Reality TV?
The cameras are rolling and so is a bit of controversy behind-the-scenes of Real Housewives of Atlanta. As you know, BRAVO is currently filming season 8 of the hit reality TV show. And just last week, we shared that the show may have snagged it’s first transgender cast mate, Amiyah Scott.

Sources tell us Amiyah is not only a non-housewife, but she’s 'allegedly' faking her relationship with her alleged boyfriend, Kellon Deryck. As you’ll recall, Amiyah and Kellon filmed with the RHOA cast, during Kenya Moore’s hair care launch.
Sources tell us that in order for her to seem more appealing to producers, she allegedly was untruthful about her relationship status.

The Tea is that Kellon is not Amiyah’s boyfriend, but her best friend. Another source tells us that she’s trying to keep the fact that they’re not in a romantic relationship, top secret, so that she can remain on the show. In fact, we hear that Kellon — who is a hair stylist — actually has a boyfriend!

As you know, in the past other RHOA cast members have been accused of faking a relationship for the cameras.(‘cough cough’ Kenya)
There was unconfirmed speculation that Kenya Moore had been untruthful about her relationship to Walter Jackson. Porsha Williams was also accused of faking a relationship with African business man, Teodoro Ngeuma Obiang Mangue.
Anywho, only time will tell if Amiyah’s relationship with Kellon is authentic. Stay Tuned.

Serena Williams & Tennis Superstars Serve It Up At Nike’s “NYC Street Tennis” Event
Following her fifth WTA title win at the W&S Open in Cincinnati, Serena Williams hopped on a flight to NYC for a scheduled appearance.

The world’s No.1 female tennis player was joined by other tennis greats, including Rafael Nadal, Madison Keys, Nick Kyrgios, Maria Sharapova, Genie Bouchard, Roger Federer, Grigor Dimitrov, and tennis legends Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and John McEnroe to kick off Nike’s “NYC Street Tennis” event in Greenwich Village.
We hear there was a little tension between the Wimbledon winner and her opponent Maria (above in white), which only added fuel to their neverending feud. The two (who both reportedly dated Grigor Dimitrov at some point) made sure to keep their distance during the entire event.

We must say, Serena has beat Maria far more times than Maria has beat her....so we're not sure why this is still deemed a "tough rivalry."
The eleven tennis stars commemorated a throwback 90s Nike tennis commercial, starring Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi where they jump out of a cab, set up a net and started playing tennis in the busy NYC streets. And yesterday was all about learning from the pros as they took the court to serve a few shots and playfully battle it out against one another.
“TODAY” show and “News Nation” co-host Tamron Hall changed from her work attire into some cute tennis threads to host the event. And it looks like she also hit the court for a match.
Mark your calendars. Serena will be returning to the tennis court to make history at the U.S. Open in NYC, set to kick off August 31st.
