Four years after TRW, he and Paul appeared in an MTV special in which Paul revealed his identity. He’s BFF with Kelley, and was secretly dating Paul, an officer in the military, whose face had to be blurred out to protect his identity thanks to the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy. Then: Gorgeous, southern boy from Atlanta, who is close to his mother, but not so much with his father. Now: Jamie is still in Chicago and works for Internet company, which apparently is ” easiest and most conclusive way to poll your friends on Facebook.” Danny Roberts Melissa had a crush on him, but he always brushed it off. Then: A web entrepreneur from Illinois who had that haircut all the cute boys had in the 2000s. They live in Los Angeles with their three really super cute kids. Scored big time after marrying actor Scott ‘Dimples’ Wolf in 2004. Now: After the show, she was a caterer and event planner, and eventually moved into being a life coach. She became BFFs with gay friend Danny, and had an aspiring career in broadcast journalism. Then: A sorority girl from Arkansas who was steadily dating a medical student called Peter throughout her time in the house. She is an excellent writer and her pieces can be found on her personal Tumblr here. They live in Long Island, and they have two daughters – Shalom, 6, and Maja, 2. In 2007, she married Glassjaw rocker Justin Beck, and converted to Judaism. Later, she became a cast member of Oxygen’s prank show Girls Behaving Badly, and later appeared on Bravo’s Battle of the Network Reality Stars. Now: Melissa moved to Los Angeles after TWR to be a stand-up comedian, and when she was a guest on The Late Show with Craig Kilborn, she straight up asked for a job, and ended up working as a PA on The Jamie Foxx Show. She liked to paint, was often the center of attention, and butted heads with David. Then: Originally from Tampa, Florida, Melissa was known for bringing comic relief to the house, and is possibly the funniest person to have ever been featured on TRW. It’s actually annoyingly catchy, just like Come On Be My Baby Tonight, which I still think about and sing outloud to this day. He’s combined his love of cooking and music into one by creating videos of original tunes with recipes of his favorite foods, like this apple pie. He lives in Chicago and continues to do some work with MTV, but he’s also a YouTube personality, thanks to yet another moniker, Chef Showtime. Now: David now goes by the name, Tokyo Niyeli, a nickname given to him by his friends because of his love for Japanese anime. He was known as a ladies man and aspiring musician, as evidenced by his classic hit, Come On Be My Baby Tonight. Then: A student from Chicago who had a 4.0 GPA, didn’t drink or smoke, as working out was his vice. So now that you know what the mansion is up to these days, let’s take a look at what the Real 7 at 7 are up to today. The color is more beige in person, and the “Belfort” sign on the door is gone. This is what it looked like in 2009 when we creepily stood outside and took pix of ourselves in front of it: This is what it looked like during filming:Īfter the cast moved out, it took about four and a half years to turn it into the single-fam residence, and that’s what it is today. The house is a huge two-story 19th century Greek revival mansion in the Garden District, and when producers found it, owners were in the process of turning it from apartments to a single-family house. When I moved from Boston to LA about six years ago, my two friends and I stopped in New Orleans on our road trip, and I had to put the Belfort Mansion on the To Do list.
It probably had a lot to do with Melissa, but we’ll get to that in a bit. By 2000, I was a seasoned vet of TRW, and the New Orleans cast/show spoke to me on a deep level. The first season of The Real World I watched was season four, in London, like, in real time.

I was the kid who watched too much TV when I was younger – not only a lot of it, but probably stuff that was out of my demographic. Turns out that story became one of the most memorable seasons of the groundbreaking reality show, and my personal favorite. It’s been 15 years since we were introduced to the true story of seven strangers – David, Melissa, Kelley, Jamie, Danny, Matt and Julie – and found out what happened when they stopped being polite and started getting real. June 14th, 2000 – the day The Real World: New Orleans premiered on MTV.
