Bill Hamilton, played by Timon Durrett, is Dani Dupree’s ex-husband, the father to Chelsea and Naomi. He’s a publicity hound, opportunist, and narcissist – all this according to his ex-wife. He also happens to be a criminal defense attorney that is well-connected and gets what he wants by any means necessary.
His oldest daughter, Naomi, is played by Arielle Prepetit, lives in Washington, D.C., outside “The Gates” where she works as a civil attorney. She’s smart, but also shares a talent with her grandmother Anita Dupree that has bonded the two, which is singing.
Then there’s her younger sister, Chelsea Hamilton, played by RhonniRose Mantilla. A social media influencer, Chelsea is also a successful model, something she’s been doing since age 18; however, this is not her favorite pastime, just something she’s been pushed into by her mom Dani.
Chelsea has a lot of money, which has allowed her to follow her real dream – designing a purse line and building this brand.
Meanwhile, Hayley Lawson, played by Marquita Goings, is a paralegal at Bill Hamilton’s firm. She is charming, intelligent and beautiful. She also happens to be Hamilton’s new fiancé, which means there’s beef between her and Dani.
