theGRIO VIDEO - Cynthia Bailey talks about the new season of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' and opens up about the pressure to remain thin...
Supermodel-turned-reality star Cynthia Bailey is ‘keepin it real’ on season six of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The Bailey Agency founder and creator tells theGrio that this season of RHOA is “a little bit more unpredictable than the other seasons” that she’s been in.
Bailey, who’s been featured in fashion magazine editorials including Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and Vanity Fair also opened up about the pressures to remain thin while being a beauty brand.
“Coming from the fashion industry as a model and being a beauty brand, I think we are judged and critiqued a little harder,” Bailey. “The minute we start falling or gaining weight… people are definitely a lot more critical.”
Bailey has now turned her attention to combating negative stereotypes among young women with the launch of The Cynthia Bailey Prettie Girls Collectors Doll. Bailey says her goal is to inspire girls “to be confident, to feel empowered and to always be inspired.”
