Tami Roman kept turning down The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles until she realized her castmates “were really the pioneers of the genre"

“So I felt there was no harm, no foul in going back to finish what I helped start," says Roman, who revisits the David Edwards blanket incident on the Paramount+ series. Roman, 51, had previously retired from reality after appearing on Celebrity Wife Swap, Marriage Boot Camp and Basketball Wives. Roman says Season 2 of The Real World was, like Season 1, ahead of its time. “We did delve back into race,” Roman says. “We did delve back into the abortion situation. We did delve back into the issues with #MeToo and that particular incident with David. A lot of people saw me get my mouth wired and deal with bulimia, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders. We talked about all that this time around. But with a more respectful eye.”
