Carlos King orchestrated some of your favorite moments on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. You can thank the 42-year-old television producer for iconic scenes like Nene Leakes’ condemnation of white refrigerators, Sheree Whitfield’s “Who gon’ check me, boo?” showdown, and Kim Zolciak’s first foray into music, “Tardy for the Party.” But after steering one of Bravo’s highest-rated ships for nine seasons from 2008 until 2017, King stepped from behind the camera into the spotlight to helm his own production company, Kingdom Reign Entertainment.
The power of ownership was the driving force behind King’s professional pivot, something he learned from his pals, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. “I created a production company that speaks to the culture I was responsible for making relevant on these mainstream networks,” he says in a phone interview.
