Princess Benton-Lofters Embraces the Spotlight: A Journey from ‘RHOA’ Creator to Star of ‘Bold & Bougie’

Known for her instrumental role in shaping the drama-filled narratives of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Princess Benton-Lofters is now stepping into the limelight herself, starring in WE TV’s latest unscripted series, Bold & Bougie.

Alongside co-stars Malaysia Pargo, Tameka Foster, Gocha Hawkins, and Crystal Smith, Bold & Bougie showcases the journeys of five dynamic and successful women navigating personal triumphs and tribulations while forming an unbreakable bond of sisterhood.

While Princess has typically operated behind the camera, Us Weekly sat down with her to understand why now, she’s ready to take her place in front of it.

“It was a combination of factors,” Princess explains. “The right people were involved, and the concept felt compelling. Initially, I was one of the last to come on board, but as I learned more and saw the caliber of women attached, I knew this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Before I knew it, we were rolling.”

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Atlanta, dubbed the “new Black Hollywood,” the series chronicles the highs and lows of these women’s lives as they navigate the complexities of adulthood. Through laughter, tears, and profound moments of self-reflection, they find strength in each other, rewriting their narratives on their own terms.

“As someone who’s always been behind the scenes, stepping in front of the camera felt like a monumental leap,” Princess shares. “But it also felt like the most authentic way to share my story with the world.”

The essence of Bold & Bougie lies in its celebration of female camaraderie and resilience. By challenging stereotypes and embracing their truths, these women showcase that it’s possible to have it all—without apology.

Reflecting on the camaraderie among the cast, Princess remarks, “We’re a diverse group with our own quirks, but there’s an undeniable bond between us. We tease, we support, and above all, we’ve formed a genuine sisterhood.”

At its core, Bold & Bougie is a testament to the power of friendship and the journey of self-discovery. Through their collective experiences, Princess and her co-stars invite viewers to join them on a heartfelt exploration of life’s most meaningful moments.

As Princess Benton-Lofters takes her place in the spotlight, she’s not just rewriting her own story; she’s redefining what it means to be bold, unapologetic, and utterly bougie.
