Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
THE PLATINUM LIFE is a reality series that features the wives and girlfriends of top Los Angeles musicians living their lives in the music world. It stars Crystal Smith, who is married to Ne-Yo, La'Myia Good, who is married to R&B singer Eric Bellinger, Kid Ink's wife Asiah Azante, and Nazanin Mandi, who is engaged to Miguel. Rounding out the group are Nelly's girlfriend Shantel Jackson, and Lola Monroe, who is in a relationship with King Los. Often joining them is singer Alycia Bellamy, who is currently single. While they work at supporting their partners in and outside of the business, they also raise children, work on their respective careers, enjoy the good life, and take time to gossip and argue with each other.
Is It Any Good?
Like WAGS, Baller Wives, and similar E! shows, this predictable series features women who gloat about being with and supporting their celebrity partner. They also celebrate and support one another, despite the many gossipy conflicts that distract from their friendship.
It's voyeuristic and superficial, but fans of the artists featured here (who appear throughout the series) may be drawn to it. Nonetheless, The Platinum Life is doesn't offer anything to viewers looking for something new.
