“Consisting of some of Hollywood’s most influential and successful LGBTQ+ celebrities, personalities, and entrepreneurs, this revealing and witty new ensemble docuseries provides an up close and personal glimpse into their lives as they perform in front of crowds of thousands, make high stakes business deals, celebrate important life milestones, work the red carpet, and reveal their most intimate truths to family and friends,” reads the logline.
Todrick Hall, 37, first rose to fame on Season 9 of American Idol, but his music career has taken him far beyond the reality TV stage. Along with his pop music career and booming YouTube channel, Hall has also found success on Broadway. His stage credits include Kinky Boots, Chicago, and Waitress, to name a few.
The trailer starts out with Goreski exclaiming “West Hollywood is the epicenter of the gay world.” He continues later in the trailer, “It’s hard being a public person and a good example.” The video cuts to Hall who says, “If the word you’re looking for is scandal.. yeah, I’ve been involved in a few of those. I’m just gonna let people know my truth.”
Get a taste of what’s to come with the trailer, above, and don’t miss The Real Friends of WeHo when the show debuts on MTV this month.

More of MTVs manufactured bullshit in the bullshit capitol of the gay world. Having lived, worked and interacted in the WeHo scene, this steaming pile of glitter encrusted shit sounds like it will create drama only those who do not know the inner workings of West Hollywood, will buy into. Reality would be showing the rampant drug and alcohol abuse, the cliques that don’t evolve outside of a high school cafeteria, and how it is truly the shallow end of the ‘gay world’ pool. Essentially, it looks like it will be a loosely scripted show featuring aging talent trying to remain relevant amongst social climbing Gen Z’ers that believe that acting entitled will give them the world. Where’s Bobby Trendy and Jonathan Chang when you need them?

With Todrick Hall in the cast, I have absolutely no interest in watching this.
