LOS ANGELES—Diamond Foxx is ready for mainstream TV; but is mainstream TV ready for her?
Diamond is set to appear on the Season 7 premier of TLC’s hit show 90 Day Fiancé.
“I am not acting on this show, this is the real me,” Diamond said.
The show airs Nov. 3.
Diamond’s involvement is through her ex-son-in-law, Robert, who is a main character on the show with his new wife Anny from the Dominican Republic. What does that have to do with Diamond? Well, she and her husband are very active with their grandson Bryson and wanted/needed to get to know this dame from the DR.
“I care deeply about my grandson and I want the best for him,” Diamond said. “I needed to express that very clearly to this new woman who will be spending a lot of time with Bryson.”
Things really heat up when the new wife discovers Stephanie the interested grandmother is actually …Diamond Foxxx, adult performer. She and husband Ben are definitely antagonists on the show, especially when they confront Anny about her intentions with Robert and her new stepson.
The new season of 90 Day Fiancé kicks off the first week of November and Diamond and Ben are featured prominently in the trailer. The Foxxxes shot for the show over four days over the course of the 90 days covered in the episode.
At lunch with the new couple, Diamond asks Anny, “Why don’t I write you a check and buy you a ticket back to the Dominican Republic?” When Anny resists, pointing out that her new husband brought her to the U.S., “not you,” Ben is quick to protest: “How many more days until you leave?” Anny responds with a putdown, “You are Donald Trump? Please.”
E! Online describes the episode thusly: “This couple met on social media and talked every day for six months, finally meeting when Robert took a cruise with a stopover in the Dominican Republic. Within hours of first meeting, they were engaged...without an engagement ring.”
90 Day Fiancé is the top-rated cable show in its time slot, scoring more than 2.5 million viewers, trouncing competitors like NFL Countdown and Keeping Up With the Kardashians, helping lead TLC to rank No. 1 in primetime ad-supported cable in key demographics like women 18-49 and 25-54.
Will Anny stay or will she go? Only time will tell—that time being Sunday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Get more information and watch episodes at TLC.com/tv-shows/90-day-fiance/. Watch the season 7 trailer on YouTube.com.
