Amiyah Scott, the transgender woman who tried to get on "Real Housewives of Atlanta," is getting a bigger break now in Hollywood because she's been cast in the "Empire" spin-off.
Amiyah didn't make the 'RHOA' cut, but we're told all the transgender 'Housewife' buzz got her a call from "Empire" creator Lee Daniels in late August asking to read for his new show.
It's not for the spin-off. It's for another music drama about a girl group. Queen Latifah was announced as the lead. The series is expected to get picked up by Fox for the 2016-2017 season.
They haven't started work on the spin-off yet. It'll probably only air in 2017 tbh.
