Where Are They Now? 11 Of The Most Rachet, Lovable and Controversial Black Folks From “The Real World”

August 15th, 2012 - By Victoria Uwumarogie

Who doesn’t have a favorite “Real World” season? Even if you no longer watch because you’re distracted by psuedo wives and singing competitions, I’m sure if I threw some of the names from this list at you, you could tell me your views on the drama these black folks brought into the house and why you did or didn’t enjoy seeing them on your TV thanks to MTV. This show definitely paved the way for most reality TV, and in the process of growing and getting more popular (or less), we’ve seen a few black folks who were just too interesting to forget. Let’s figure out where they are now, and what they’re looking like. By the way, we did pick our five favorite females from the show back in the day, but this is totally different. AND oh yeah, be prepared to click, per the usual.

Alton Williams

A Real World alumnus from his days on the first Las Vegas installment, Williams was a cutie and kind of a jerk, and he had his share of drama while on the show thanks to relationship triangles and such. In the end, he found himself in a relationship with cast mate Irulan Wilson, with the two staying together for three years and even living in LA together before breaking up in 2005. A popular castmember, Williams later went on to take part in the spin-off challenge, “The Gauntlet 2″ (he also was a contestant on the first Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet) on MTV, and with his athletic prowess, actually went on to win the challenge and a whopping $100,000. Since his time on the show, Williams is allegedly in a new relationship, and is also said to be a radio host. There are also rumors that Williams will make an MTV comeback, competing in the upcoming new season of MTV’s “The Challenge.”

    What about Mohammed from San Francisco, Theo from Chicago that was in love with Anessa despite her obviously being gay, Jacquese from San Diego, and Karamo….the gay brother from the Philly cast. That was BIG for him to admit that on the show at that time.

  • Mina B.

    What about Syrus? Or Nicole and Maleek from Back to New York? or Melissa from New Orleans?

    WHY ARE ALL OF THE WOMEN LIGHT WITH LIGHT EYES…JUST ASKING????

  • jmc

    I so used to love this show. It started the whole reality show thing and was interesting to watch because they put such a diverse group of people together.

  • linda

    The men and women have to look a certain way. Mtv really didn’t go by
    looks in the 90s they went by the person, and to me the real world was
    way way better back then then now. ~ blackwhiteplanet _℃om ~~~~~ is for thousands of upscale men and beautiful
    women, who understand that ambition, success, and glamour are key elements of
    attraction. It’s worth a try! I REALLY wanted to know where David from the New Orleans season is (♫de dop bo de do bo de♫, come on be my baby tonight♪)

    loved Cynthia! I would like an update on her too. Kameelah is a medical doctor i think. They did an update on her 5 years ago somewhere.

  • cmh1978

    I really hated how Tammi did David on the show it was all fun and games but of course he turned on him .

  • Chanda

    MTV’s Real World just isn’t the same anymore. Back in the day I use to revolve my schedule around that show and even bought some of their books. You NEED to do a part 2 and maybe 3 re: the rest of the black Real World cast members. The ones everyone else mentioned plus Sharon-London, Melissa-N. Oreleans, Syrus-Boston, Mohommad-San Francisco, Nicole-Back to NY and a few others I can’t think of because I didn’t watch their seasons. Just because they weren’t controversial doesn’t mean they weren’t interesting.
    PS– I gather from this list that Tami became the most famous/infamous cast member but Kevin became the most successful. I’m sure he’s not hurting for money.

  • Lady85

    I’m so dissapointed that Cynthia(Miami) and Kameelah (Boston) aren’t on the list (We know where Tami is, we didn’t need her on this list). I REALLY wanted to know where David from the New Orleans season is (♫de dop bo de do bo de♫, come on be my baby tonight♪)

    • Kayo

      I HATED that guy.

      • olivia

        co-sign. He was the epitome of corny. I forgot all about him.

      • Chanda

        David had a really nice body but other than that I didn’t really care for him.

        I saw him working in a poster shop on Belmont/Clark a few years ago. Looked exactly the same.

    Mtv’s Real World use to be good back in the day because it seem like they would cast just anyone, Now they go by how you look. The men and women have to look a certain way. Mtv really didn’t go by looks in the 90s they went by the person, and to me the real world was way way better back then then now.

  • Lisa

    What happened to Malik – the brotha with the afro?

    • http://twitter.com/MadameGigglez Bubblez

      ohhh, right the light skin boy from…. the season with Coral (right?)

  • Dom

    OMG I am DYING at my desk! The only person I wanted to hear about was Steven, and I’m glad you gave an update. Prostitution though? Like, for real?
    I AM DYING!

  • olivia

    She did not have to out him. Your boy was flaming the whole time. I am not sure why he thought it was a big secret.

    He looked like a B#tch slapping a woman.

    • Shy Guy

      who slapped a woman?

      • guest

        Steven from Seattle.

    • MsT

      It was SO obvious. I guess he got so mad at her because he was mad at himself for being unable to hide his true nature. Glad he’s out but he’ll always be a b!+c# for slapping a woman.

  • WhoMe

    I liked cynthia from miami season. Oh and what about kameelah from boston? She became a doctor after the show.

    • Yaya

      Sounds like they need to make a part two with more updates from more of our favorite black Real Worlders.

      • Mina B.

        Yeah. They also forgot about Aryssa and Irulan from Las Vegas.

  • http://twitter.com/MadameGigglez Bubblez

    Im confused… not all of these cast mates were ratchet. they were just… different from the usual cast members.

  • baddvixentype

    he slapped her because she tried to out him on national television out of spite. I didnt have a problem when he slapped her one bit.
