Introduction

Amiyah Scott (birth name – Arthur Scott) is an American makeup artist, motivational speaker, Instagram star, dancer, event host, and transgender actress who is best known for her role as Cotton on the Fox drama Star.

As a motivational speaker, Amiyah focuses on the themes of self-acceptance, self-esteem, and bullying. She once said:

“You get one life, and it’s yours to live — not society’s, your parents’ or [anyone else’s] decision to tell you how you should live.”

Biography

Scott was born on January 11, 1988, in Manhattan, New York, USA, and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

She underwent partial transgender surgery at the age of 15. Scott fully transitioned at 17. 

Later, Amiyah decided to explore opportunities as an independent transgender.

During an interview, Amiyah explained:

“My parents were supportive, and I was lucky to have parents that were. I had my surgery at 17, but I wish could’ve had it sooner. It just solidified who I always knew that I was.”

Scott went on to say:

“For me, nothing changed except for the parts on my body. How I felt was the same, how I looked to myself remained the same.”

In another interview, Scott said:

“I had supportive parents. My mom has always been supportive. My dad struggled at first and I won’t lie to you about it.”

Amiyah later added:

“But that’s what makes him calling me ‘princess’ now so worthwhile because that’s progress.”

In 2015, Amiyah was added to the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta for its 8th season. The reality series focuses on the professional and personal lives of several women residing in Atlanta, Georgia.

Scott was the first transgender woman to be cast in the Real Housewives franchise.

She later left the reality series. The reason? She was offended by the way the producers wanted her to behave. Amiyah said in an interview:

“I enjoyed filming and I enjoyed the ladies. What is meant for you is for YOU! Obviously that wasn’t for me.”

She added:

“[But] scripted prime time television seems to do me justice, though.”
