| The cast of The First Wives Club television series Michelle Buteau, Jill Scott, and Ryan Michelle Bathe |
I immediately was so excited for
this show to come out when I heard that they were doing a reboot. I am a huge
fan of the original 1996 classic movie “First Wives Club” starring Diane
Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn. So for those who never saw the film and
are not familiar with these amazing actresses let me school you on these ladies.
Diane
Keaton the incredible multi-nominated actress who has starred in some iconic
films “Annie Hall”, “The Godfather trilogy”, “Something’s Got to Give”, “Mad
Money”, and so many other classics along with Bette Midler “Beaches”, "Hocus Pocus", "The Rose", “The Women”, "Then she found me", "The Addams Family" animated film (2019), "What Women Want",
and Goldie Hawn “” , “Overboard”, “The Out -of -Towners”, “Death Becomes Her", "Everyone says I love you”, "Town & Country", "The Banger Sisters", "The Christmas Chronicles". These phenomenal
actresses teamed up in a movie that represents determination, becoming a fierce
badass woman, and taking their own lives into power by their own terms and
decisions. Each wife made a major sacrifice, they took vows with their
husbands, and even gave them many benefits children, companies, businesses, and
sacrificed even their own moral compass to make sure each one of their husbands
stayed afloat and on top. Their moral compass and their judgment was tested
when all three women were tested when their husbands decided to cheat and
started relationships with younger women. Some of the women and their ages were
too young it almost caused them to go to jail. These three women they are
tested in ways mentally with their confidence, their pride, their families,
self-esteem, they are tried and pulled when it comes to every aspect of their
lives, financially, emotionally, and even with their own friendships.

The movie represents female
empowerment, women not believing the old school hype where they believe they
are supposed to only be tied to the house cooking, cleaning, and raising
children. The three of them realizes that each of them can actually defend
themselves, take care of themselves, build their own empire together, destroy
their husbands and make them pay for what they took away from them, and also in
the end find common ground and a better cause to make all First Wives better in
their own marriages, relationships, develop a stronger self-love relationship,
and also get everything they deserve in life too.
Now
with these new generation of women coming into play these three characters you
see a totally different dynamic with this feisty bunch. The three women playing
this trio this time in 2019’s “The First Wives Club”, the first woman is Grammy, Soul train award, NAACP image
award nominee and winner , Lady of Soul , BET Award, VIBE Award, MTV Music
Award winning, Jill Scott, she has
starred in the television series , “The Ladies No.1 Detective Agency”, “Why did
I get married one and two”, “Steel Magnolia”, “Sins of a Mother”, and
“Flint.
The
next amazing actress is Ryan Michelle Bathe wife of Sterling K Brown, and has
starred on FOX’s “Empire”, “The Education of Max Bickford”, “Good Fences”,
“ER”, “Brother to Brother”, “Half & Half”, “Lackawanna Blues”, “Boston
Legal”, “Brothers & Sisters”. “Medium”, “Girlfriends”, “Bones”, “Private
Practice”, “This Is Us”.
The
next actress is a comedienne, Michelle Buteau is hilarious I have seen her on
VH-1, MTV, and many other television specials and series. She has also been
featured on “Isn’t It Romantic”, “Always Be My Maybe”, “Tales of the City”, and
currently has her own podcast, “Late Night Whenever”, and Esquire Magazine
named her as one of the comediennes to watch. Absolutely hilarious and someone
to keep on your radar. She will star
as Bree Washington on “First Wives Club”, Jill Scott plays Hazel, and Ryan
Michelle Bathe will play Ari. The television series also features Mark Tallman
as David, RonReaco Lee (“Moesha”,”Sister Sister”, “All About the Andersons”,
“The Shield”, “Committed”, “In the Motherhood”, BET’s “Let’s stay together”,
“Burn Notice”, Survivor’s Remorse”,
“Madea Goes to Jail”, ) and Malik Yoba (“Cool Runnings”, “New York
Undercover”, “Smoke”, “Cop Land”, “Soul Food”, “Why did I get married one and
two” “Lucky Girl”, “Paradox”, “Empire”, “The Good Wife”, “Blue Bloods”,
“Gotham”, “The Last O.G.”, “God Friended Me”, “Til’ Death do us part”, and
“Take Point”.) Malik will play the character Derrick featured as a male lead.
All of these amazing actors and
actresses I believe will bring their own flavor, spin, and something unique to
each of these characters on this television series. Tune in this fall to BET
Digital and stream to watch “First Wives Club” on your laptop, tablets, or
smart phones.
