‘From The Bottom Up’ cast

Centric’s docu-series/reality show “From the Bottom Up” has been given a second season. The show, which is produced by Queen Latifah and Nicci Gilbert, followed five women who were very successful in the past and lost everything due to substantial circumstances, ranging from controversy to jail time. The show charted their progress as they work their way back to the top of their careers and find redemption for themselves and their families.

Johnson, ex-event coordinator to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, was arrested in 2012 on DUI charges.
