One of “The Real House wives of Atlanta” is moving house.
Lisa Wu-Hartwell and husband Edgerton Hartwell, a former Oakland Raiders linebacker, have had their multi-million dollar Duluth, Ga. mansion sold out from under them by the bank after defaulting on their mortgage, according to TMZ.
Originally purchased for $2.9 million in 2007, the house only pulled in $1.9 million when it was sold by the bank last week.
The couple has since moved into another home they own, which sits on 10 acres of land.
Wu-Hartwell, who runs a real estate firm, insists that they weren’t forced out of their original home though — the decision to move was entirely voluntary on their part.
“Ed and I are NOT ignorant of the state of the economy and the current recession that everyone is experiencing,” she said in a statement yesterday after the report broke.
“We chose to move months ago. We were not evicted.” More details behind the move will be revealed in an upcoming episode of “Housewives.”
