Hey friends and fam. I just wanted to make an announcement here for all that have been supporting me in all of my jobs, ventures and adventures. After working on The Rickey Smiley Show for a year I am moving on to more opportunities. There are a whole lot of things I want to do that will better showcase my talents, personality, intelligence and wittiness and I’m ready to pursue them! I’m grateful to Reach Media and to Mr. Smiley for giving me the opportunity which in turn helped me have a reason to be in Atlanta to be on the Real Housewives of Atlanta which was another amazing opportunity that has brought me nothing but more exposure, more checks and more opportunities in film and many other things.
To those that rode with me through the storm when I was trying to adjust on the show with conflicting advice coming at me from all angles-I thank you. To my critics-I thank you also because you pushed me and motivated me to do better. I know I’m the second female co-host to depart in a year but I have total confidence that they will fill that spot with someone that will do the damn thing and be able to stay forever! I’ll miss the crew and made some real friends on the RSMS and I wish them the best.I also want to publicly say THANK YOU to Ebony Steele who was a total class act to me when I first started and has continued to check up on me and has truly shown me sisterhood despite everything. I can not wait to see her next move also. She’s talented and a radio star! But lots of things are cooking as we speak and I’ll post where you can catch me next REAL soon! XOXO CJ
Wow! That’s a bummer. Show business is a tough one.
Damn! I really liked her! Class act!!
I hope that last part is not a cryptic way of leading us to the fact that she’s going to be on the television show “The Real”. I love Claudia but that show is unwatchable!!
Nice catch. Where does it shoot? NY?
Doubt it. Remember Tamar cant stand Claudia and since she and Vince are both Exec Prod of that show I really doubt she will be a new panelist.
GRK1031 are you sure that information is correct? I don’t see that on wiki or anywhere else. I know they produce the Braxtons show on we, but not sure they produce the Real.
Tamar and Claudia got into it big time on TIny Tonight. That coupled with the fact that Tamar HATES Kenya and LOVES Porsha and NeNe also work against Claudia here.
Ummm that is a nice catch about The Real. I like that show however it has it’s moments, cute but it has it’s moments when I say ummmm. OK so Claudia Jordan is so pretty , talented and witty, smart she will land on her feet wherever that may be. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. People don’t walk off in the sunset without having an idea how far they have to walk. ijs Thanks for the tea Tamara, it was tasty indeed.
Claudia, you were TRULY a breath of fresh air to RHOA, but your career is pulling you in a different direction, and with that…MORE POWER TO YOU my sistah!
Thanks love!!!
Claudia is the kind of gal that I would love to have as a friend. No longer than she was on the show, she started to feel like a friend. Rarely do I see someone on the Housewives that I felt like I bonded with. She will be missed by many. At least we have the read she put on the truly awful Nene Leakes, as one of the best memories ever! Now that was what I call…leaving your mark. Go get ’em girl.
You made the last season of TRHOA one of the best in a very long time !!
Agree, we will always have her epic read of Nene 馃檪
I will miss her. I liked her on RHOA. It is incredible to me that they are letting her go and possibly keeping Porsha. I would take 100 Claudia’s over her. She was funny and at least tried to be normal. Best of luck to her.
I am hoping they are not giving Porsha back her peach, but I’m afraid it may be true. I cannot stand watching her try to put in her 2 cents worth on everything thinking she sounds so intelligent when she sounds like an idiot. To me she does anyway.
LOL totally agree.
Claudia I’m going to miss you. You did your best but people who act stupid and calling people half breed is only going to last for so long. People that they think are laughing with them are really laughing at them. You will be o.k. Claudia. God’s got your back!
Claudia will be fine. She’s beautiful and smart and has a great personality. I’m more worried for RHOA with all of these changes.
She did a good job on both shows. Hope she bounces back quickly with better opportunities.
Good luck to her and kudos for not sticking around to beg for a peach. I hope someone took the opportunity to snag her up. I did enjoy watching her on ATL. She was a breath of fresh air.
I really liked her, good luck Claudia in all your future endeavours!
Bravo failed letting this one go! Bring her back. I’m personally sick of the fat, greasy, overfed and uneducated bullies dominating my TV screen!
Well I guess it’s official. I was hoping she would come back. She was the only one who seemed interested in developing real friendships. So sad to not want real people.
It is amazing that Nene started with Claudia but people act like she did not have the right to defend herself. Well good riddance Claudia no need of wanting to be on a show that promotes violence and reward the people without facing criminal charges. May your success put a bitter taste I. Your haters mouths.
I know. I kept hoping that if she stuck around she’d snag a Peach again. I wasn’t a fan before RHOA (I even found her annoying) but she changed my mind real quick. And not just because she read Nene to filth (although that definitely helped). She really is a nice girl, smart & funny. I’m sure she’ll be fine but we need her…
Sorry typing from my Bubble bath & phone! Wtf is wrong with Bravo! Smh
Poor Claudia. She knows that “THOT” is not a compliment and does not have crazy mama drama. She is not busy adding the latest mugshot to the family album, or having to exorcise her house from the ghost of felons past. She did not make a horses ass of herself on a video and is secure enough to not have to have people sign contracts to be her friend. In other words, Claudia was just too normal for Bravo and we all know that normal is just not in the Bravo wheelhouse. I will miss her….I enjoyed her being on the show.
Well said! The more intelligent they are the quicker they fall!
Yes. Claudia’s terrific and she’s gonna be alright. I feel the same way about Kenya. I so wish Bravo would give her a show all to herself. That would be great. Maybe she could do a charm school show or pageant training?! Claudia would be good there too!
Darn it, I really liked Claudia.
I stopped watching RHOA until someone told me Claudia was on. I tuned in to see and to my surprise I enjoyed watching her. I guess if she leaves I go back to not watching again.
I adore Claudia. Since RHOA dumped that beast Nene, I don’t understand why we are being deprived of Claudia.
So once again TT has backed the wrong person.
…how does enjoying someone for who they are and what they bring to the table equate to backing them up? Real Housewives is just a fucking TV show, do you not get that?
Why does it have to be the “wrong person”..?
Why do I have this sudden urge to go “na na na na na na”?! Or even “I’m rubber, you’re …!” Bugger off you freakin’ immature nincompoop!
We will really miss you Claudia. What a breath of fresh air you brought to that Den of Ugliness, RHOA. Best of luck in your next career move.
Claudia isn’t a stupid woman. She moved to Atlanta for a job and when the job dried up, it’s time to go where the jobs and fame lead her. That’s as it should be but it’s also part of the problem with RHOA.
Bravo hired an actress with no skin in the city of Atlanta. She wasn’t from Atlanta, didn’t live there, didn’t put down root there and is gone from the scene the minute she doesn’t have to be there.
Housewives of all persuasions should live, work, love and be in love with their respective cities. Interlopers to these shows don’t work out as well as production hopes it will. One of the reasons RHOBH and RHONY has been so successful this year is because the ‘new girls’ we from their respective cities and had family, friends and connections there.
As they recast RHOA they need to keep this in mind.
I doubt Claudia would do “The Real” she did a talk show with Tamar Braxton and they DID NOT GET ALONG. Vh1 had a nighttime talk show, called “Tiny Tonight” and Claudia and Tamar were co hosts along with other women and they had beef.
Also, Claudia got the job on Rick Smiley’s show before she joined #RHOA. That is why she was on #RHOA.
I’m sorry to see her go, but I think you’re spot on, Sequoia.
I cosign this.
On to biggger and better. I really like Claudia.
Sad. She will be missed but hopefully great things are in store for her.
Tamara, have you heard anything about the reports on gossip sites that Sheree is returning and Fantasia is joining season 8? Thanks!
For some reason, Kristen from NY’s tag line comes to mind. “I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I”m Purty”. 馃榾
I think Claudia is actually a smart woman. She has more than just looks.
鈥婽he Sheree thing is ridiculous. I may post all the reasons why this is a bullshit rumor if it continues to annoy. I don’t think Fantasia would even be considered. They have four good alternates now.

A co-host on The Real is pregnant so possibly Claudia will be a temporary host while making peace with Tamar.
Only a guess. I don’t know squat about these girls.
As much as I enjoy seeing Claudia, nothing could make The Real watchable. Tamar is insufferable, her overacting, face distortion, lip smacking, calling herself “She” etc turned me off that show permanently. I hope Claudia is going on to bigger and better shows.
The only time Tamar Braxton was enjoyable was when Roxxxy Andrews played her in the Snatch Game on season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Hysterical.
Agree. If Tamar wasn’t on the show, I’d be willing to at least watch clips of it online. No time for clowns, unfortunately. Love Tamera, though. It’s a shame Fox decided to make them castmates.
I loved Claudia who I think is a great beauty, a nice person, and a class act. Andy and Bravo really did side with the “Beasts” as Nene, Phaedra, and Portia and not nice, and very crude.
I really like Claudia. I am interpreting her post to mean ‘The Real HW of NY’.That would be awesome, as she will be the first African American, and all the gals are basically single, so she may fit in perfectly. She’s such a ‘big apple’ girl and I really didn’t really see her staying in the peach state. Class act that one!
I’d love to see Claudia interacting with those delusional nutjobs Sonya and Ramona.
That would be television. It’s never going to happen though. Sigh.
Question for actuary or bookie odds on survival for the franchise?
鈥婭F Kenya is back, they should be fine. If not…. it will probably be the last season.

I don’t think I’ll watch RHOA. I like Kenya, but I really liked, Kenya, Claudia and Cynthia together – good vibes. I don’t care to watch Portia, Phaedra, and dare I say it, but Kandi or Mama Joyce. If Kim Fields joins, don’t hate me, but she just doesn’t seem like a fit. I’ll get my updates on TT. BTW, I think Claudia may have a gig in South Beach. Maybe it’s Miami HW or a Radio Show in Miami. I know she loves warm weather. This contradicts my previous NY post. Okay, I may be a bit delusional here.
Agreed. Otherwise a revival of the old brosdcast test pattern would be preferable. The monotone was a mantra knowing cartoons would follow
EEEEEEE…
What annoys me is that if RHOA tanks next season Nene will take credit- she will say that her leaving is the reason it is so awful. Claudia was my favorite Atlanta housewife of all time, I’m sad to see her go. She was really the only reason I watched last season. #pityparty
Good luck to Claudia. She comes across as a well grounded, mature woman. I hope she gets the big break that she desires.
Is this a little chilly towards the Rickey Smiley show or am I just reading too much into it? ‘Mr. Smiley’ (little formal), ‘better’ opportunities, highlighting that she is the second female co host to leave in a year.
Yeah, it was shady in many aspects, but hey Ms. Claudia Jordan will be fine!
馃槈
Hahaha. The ATL ladies are the BEST at throwing shade.
Run, don’t walk, away from reality TV, Claudia. Move to DC. I feel all psychic about it.
Claudia you will be missed. Can’t say the same for the other one!
Claudia is a class act. Not only is she gorgeous, but quick witted and smart. Others around her pale in her glory. Who the hell is Rick Smiley? Never heard of the guy before Claudia appeared on RHOA. He certainly picked the wrong team to side with; as did BRAVO. Keep your head high and shine, Claudia. As the others fade into obscurity, you will go on to better and better opportunities to showcase your talents.
That was LOADED WITH SHADE….”2nd woman to leave”…..”Mentioning Ebony Steele”….Chiiilllddddd its some HOT TEA at The RSMS…ijs
I’m still in denial. She embodied the essence of what a RH cast member should be- witty, upbeat, appropriate (and sharp as hell) when provoked, and fabulous.
Ricky Smiley is a tool. Claudia is better off not having to kiss his ass, anyway — you know he loves that shit. If he gets anyone a job on his show, they have to treat him like he wants to be treated (above and beyond what should be expected). I’ve seen some of his twitter comments and clips of him on RHOA. He’s an idiot. Whether he fired her or not, she deserves much more than waking up at the butt-crack of dawn every day to sit behind a microphone. Can’t wait to see what’s next for her!
You mean BRAVO, who does not condone or tolerate physicially altercations among cast members, is possibly bringing Porsha back full time to RHOA…? Surely that can’t be true.
The only way I would agree to Porsha coming back is if she apologized to Kenya on camera…that would have be in the contract.
But then again BRAVO is full of s*ht. They say they don’t condone or tolerate violence but they promoted the hell out of the Kenya/Porsha altercation and aired it over and over again.
It was her first season and she wasted far too much of her camera time on Kenya-NeNe-Porsha mess. You all may love her here but i don’t think she gained a big enough fan base.
The only thing Bravo condones is high ratings.
Hey guys and gals… Claudia Jordan here. I just read thru these comments and I just wanted to say thank you for all the positivity! It seems that ratchet, rude and ignorant is in and getting praised while folks with sense are labeled “boring” on some other forums….well I’m happy that so many here have shown me so much love and support and appreciate what I bring to the party! Thank you for the positive remarks and I won’t let y’all down…. where ever I may end up…but TRUST ME… I won’t be down or out or absent from your tv screens. The wheels are ALWAYS spinning and the grind doesn’t stop… 18 years in this business and counting! This next year is going to be very interesting! xoxo CJ http://www.TheRealClaudiaJordan.com
