The newest Real Housewives of Atlanta cast-member is already causing a stir online. Pinky Cole, the founder of the restaurant franchise Slutty Vegan, filed for bankruptcy just days after Bravo announced her as a castmember on Season 17. Now, she’s online making light of it, and she’s parodying Ms. Rachel to make her point. It’s something you kind of have to see to believe.

Earlier this week, the news broke that Pinky filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Legal docs reviewed by TMZ revealed that she owes $1.2 million to the Small Business Administration and an additional $192,000 to the Georgia Department of Revenue. She listed her assets as $3.7 million.
Pinky wants you to think that this is a savvy business move. She uploaded a video of herself, dressed up as Ms. Rachel, explaining the ins and outs of bankruptcy. The video broke down every single type of bankruptcy, all to the beat of Soulja Boy’s Crank That. She really, really doesn’t want people to think that she’s broke. She’s just reorganizing.
Reactions to Pinky’s Ms. Rachel post have been mixed. Some fans think it’s cringe, but underneath the Instagram post, you’ll see a handful of Bravolebs applauding Pinky’s financial tactic. For example, Cecil Whitmore from Married to Medicine showered her in compliments.
He wrote, “@pinkycole is always ready!!! You’re going to be amazing this year on #RHOA. These are some next level responses,.”
Porsha Williams added, “Class is in session.”
While Pinky reorganizes her assets, we’ll get to learn more about her life on RHOA. After the Season 17 trailer dropped, she took to Instagram to warn her costars that she doesn’t want any “beef.” Clearly, she’s got other things to worry about.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns to Bravo on Sunday, April 5 at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
