Golden Brooks from Girlfriends is back on TV, but for now she’s throwing the script away, venturing into the reality TV world. As a cast member of Hollywood Divas it’s already apparent in episode one that the San Francisco native is laser focused about her craft and also about business.
With the season rolling, we’re starting to see her potential storyline, along with a few cast mates she’ll clash with. theJasmineBRAND.com correspondent @SmithWorldWide chatted with Golden about her new journey within reality TV at the Hollywood Divas premiere. Holding nothing back but with a smile, find out her issue with some reality stars, what she learned about herself, and if we’ll meet her daughter more in the season.
theJasmineBRAND.com: There seems to be tension between you and the cast mates, particularly Lisa Wu, how do you feel about people coming from reality into the acting world?
Golden Brooks: In the show Lisa represents a piece of pop culture that I haven’t had a lot of experience with. When you look at a reality show outside of Hollywood Divas, it’s like crabs in a barrel and people

Golden…..please. How can she talk about women trying to get in the business because they were on a reality show? I’m confused! If she is such a master at her “craft”, then what is she doing right now — on a “Reality Show”? Just because everyone hasn’t attended acting school, doesn’t mean they can’t act. Afterall, reality isn’t all reality! Dang! Where’s the passion for her black women, as she says?
Not liking this bougie side of Ms. Golden at all.
That casket-ready foundation really is doing nothing for Ms. Golden( SHADE). I’m not HERE for none of this childs lil antics chile. Bye hun, for real.
Preach! She is one step away from looking like Lark Voorhies!
Golden, get back to the âMayaâ character & continue to play her for the rest of your life because this âIâm trained in my craft, I have studied, I have my masterâs in actingâ bit has gotten old in the first episode! And I may have read this wrong but are you calling Lisa Wu a little girl? WowâĤshowâs a lot about your character if thatâs really what you did. What difference would it really make for a person coming from reality tv to Hollywood? Would you have said the same thing to NeNe Leakes? Yeah, I doubt it! Stop with the villain roleâĤ
I’m still trying to figure out when she became a preeminent actress?? Her acting on Girlfriends was alright, but it was far from Oscar worthy. Her acting is mediocre, if that.
She is really conceited.Her acting skills arent that great.Ive never seen her in any big budget movies.She acts as if she should be on the screen with Denzel.
I don’t think she is being conceited. I understand where she is coming from. The nature of the business has changed and it’s not about how much training as an actor you have. Reality TV plays a major role in that change. I used to go to audition after audition and training after training. I only got small roles and felt as though I was getting closer to my goals until reality tv emerged. It’s very disheartening when you’ve put so much time and effort into your craft, whatever that may be, only to be told that it doesn’t matter because we’ve changed the nature of the beast and no longer require talent, training, or skills. Not saying that Golden is “All of that”, I’m simply saying that I do understand what she is trying to convey. Not hating on all of the other comments. Everyone has a right to his or her own opinion; I’m only sharing mine.
