#TBT: CHRISTIAN CONFIDENTIAL - EP 4 (KESHIA CHANTE)

Good Morning #KCRyders. Here's a throwback interview from Keshia. In 2012, Keshia did an interview with Canadian model personality Christian Thompson for his Youtube show Christian Confidential. The episode was originally released in October of 2012.

In this interview, Keshia talks about being a judge on Season 5 of The Next Star, her relationship with bf Ray Emery, relationship advice and being approached for 'Hockey Wives'. While she doesn't say then whether or not she'd be a cast member of a reality show, regarding 'housewives', this comes three years before W Nework makes the big announcement that Keshia is added to the Season 2 cast in July of 2015.

At the end of her interview, she & Christian do a lip sync performance of 'Mercy' by Kanye West.

Hockey Wives (Season 2) is scheduled to air late Fall 2015. (September/October)

Watch Keshia's interview with Christian below.
