Tamica Lee

Southern Charm: New Orleans isn’t Tamica’s first foray into television, as she currently co-hosts WGNO-New Orleans local news program News with a Twist. Set in a bar, the show features Tamica and her co-hosts highlighting New Orleans culture and discussing local news stories. Prior to that, the mom of two cheered for The New Orleans Saintsations and was a traffic anchor for a local news station. But you probably already know that as her costar Reagan perfectly put it during a heated exchange, “You’re the traffic girl? Then you know the rule - stay in your f*--ing lane!”

Barry Smith

Joining Tamica on the show is her husband and local fitness guru, Barry Smith. Barry is the owner of FUEL Fitness Centre and a certified personal trainer. In the trailer for the show, we see Barry high-fiving a client and saying “Ready to sweat?”, before cutting to a racy shot of him taking a shower. I don’t know much about being a personal trainer, but with a peach like that, who needs Real Housewives of Atlanta?
