Real Housewives star Lystra Adams announces she's 'stepping away' from Boujee restaurant business

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams has announced that she's 'walked away' from the Boujee restaurant chain. The reality star was one of the directors and 'the face' of the all-pink restaurants and bar based on Manchester's Bridge Street, as well as Carnival, its Caribbean and Latino-inspired pop-up on the restaurant terrace.

Boujee also has a restaurant in Chester and was based at Liverpool One until signs went up to say the city's 'most instagrammable' restaurant had closed for business in August. Announcing her decision on Instagram Lystra, who joined the ITVBe reality show The Real Housewives in 2020, told followers 'I'm walking away' while speaking of 'abuse' she and model daughter Jasmine have received as the 'face' of the restaurants.

She wrote: "I'm walking away ... As of yesterday 23/09/2022 I walked away from what I've know and loved for past near two years. As many of you may know I have given considerable time and dedication in building the brand and platform for myself.

"Over the past eight months things had taken a bumpy turn. I had confidence in that the board of directors would turn it around. Unfortunately mistakes were made along the way [...] and it made the comeback near impossible."

She continued: "As a 20-per-cent shareholder and the face of the business I want you to know that I did what I could with what I had. [...] I've made my voice heard more than before as I dreaded this day would come. I've taken abuse in all forms for being the face of the companies involved as well as my daughter and enough is enough.

"Sorry it's taken so long to speak out and I want to thank
