Zeus Network’s latest reality series, Baddies West, has started airing its episodes, and from what we’ve seen so far, there’s no saying just how many dramatic fights this season may have. Stunna Girl and the rest not getting along has led to some serious drama, and now that the crew is preparing to start the tour it will be interesting to see just how they put up with each other while promoting their events.
First seen on television on May 16th, 2021, the show was launched after talks about the series Bad Girls Club having a reboot were spreading around social media. The show revolved around a set of women who would often end up in brutal fights and arguments. They would stay in a luxurious place for a certain amount of time and would have to obey whatever the rules of the house were. The popular series was stopped after Oxygen began to turn itself into a Crime only streaming platform.
Serving as a revival of Bad Girls Club, Baddies West was confirmed by Natalie Nunn in 2019, and the show premiered with its first season that was filmed in Atlanta. It ended up having much more viewers than they anticipated, and a second season was soon released in 2022.
Titled Baddies South, the 2nd season featured the crew traveling all over the United States and performing at various clubs. Asides from this, we get to see the workings of the group behind the scenes, and just how the relationships and lives of these women progress as they try to prove just why they are called the baddest.
Returning in the newest season of the show are the baddies Natalie Nunn and her crew that was carefully made after conducting auditions for the spots. As seen from the trailer that dropped on January 15th, the crew will be traveling to many more exciting locations this season.
