The Bravo suits are currently drafting RHOA pick-Up letters for Season 12. The letters will be sent out next week. Tamara Tattles exclusive source is spilling all the tea.
Pick-Up letters are being drafted for Nene Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, and Eva Marcille. Marlo Hampton will continue to make big peach money (she makes more that Eva) and receive a pick-up letter for her recurring contract.
Cynthia Bailey’s current contract expired at the end of season eleven. She will have to negotiate a new deal rather than receiving a Pick-Up letter. My source says it is more likely than not that will happen without issue.
No Peach For You!
Shamari Devoe did not make the list for a full-time peach this season. My source expects that Tanya Sam will receive a peach. If you recall last season they were playing pass the peach between Tanya Sam and Shamari Devoe even after filming had started. At one point, Tanya Sam declined the contract she was initially offered. It was a whole thing. But at this point, Tanya seems to be on track for to snatch Shamari’s peach.
It remains unclear if Shamari Devoe will be back at all. She may be a friend. But there was no mention of her, period.
Then something interesting was sort of tacked to the end. “Once the contracts are all signed and accepted, then they will weigh their options. This conversation will include a couple of familiar faces as “friends of the show.””
Obviously, I followed up on that asking if those faces could be Kenya Moore or Phaedra Parks. Unfortunately, Tamara Tattles source says that is not likely. Nene Leakes is asking for Phaedra. So, make of that what you will. If I had to bet on now, I’d bet on seeing Phaedra at least once or twice. Just because she is getting a lot of hand-holding from the Bravo suits lately. Perhaps Phaedra could be in scenes without Kandi Burruss. Shamea Morton is another familiar face. Shamari Devoe is another familiar face. At this point, the potential friends have not been discussed in a lot of detail.
Kevin McCall Was Arrested For Felony Domestic Violence
And one more thing. According to Atlanta Black Star, Kevin McCall was arrested on Monday for domestic violence. Kevin McCall is Eva Marcille’s sperm donor. She has said many times that she has to move a lot because Kevin used to show up at her residence. Kevin is a violent person with a history of domestic abuse allegations. Despite that, Marlo Hampton found it necessary to discuss her housing instability on this season of RHOA.
McCall was scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles Superior Court at the Airport Courthouse the morning of Tuesday, April 16. The summons stems from felony charges for injuring a spouse or cohabitant. The California penal code states he could face up to four years in state prison for the incident or have a one-year stint in county jail. Alternatively, he may be fined up to $6,000 or he could face both a fine and imprisonment.
A spokesperson with the L.A. Superior Court told Atlanta Black Star Wednesday that McCall posted $75,000 bond, and records from the sheriff’s department state the star was released Tuesday afternoon. McCall is next due in court on April 30.
It seems a bit odd that he would be arrested the day before he was supposed to be in court for the arraignment. To me this means that he was likely being arraigned on another charge. Because an arraignment happens after an arrest. It would be a relief for Eva if he did some jail time. Story developing…
Gawd, you’d think that after this Kevin McCall arrest, Bravo and EndemolShine would think twice about bringing back Marlo. But since they love this kind of “messy drama”, they’d rather stink up the joint (some more) to lure more viewers.
I really feel for Eva.
Am I the only naive one surprised about NeNe?
Nope. I am so done with her. She was awful at the reunion.
She’s been awful for years, IMO.
I cannot understand how people can look at or listen to Nene. Enough is enough. Please do not bring her back.
Not at all. I was hoping if anything, she would be demoted to a friend. I was actually really horrified by her at the reunion. She wouldn’t give an inch and I thought Gregg was too much of a gentleman to put her in her place. She just seems like one of those people that will hold things over your head forever. I understand everybody deals with cancer differently and I’m sure you have a emotions that you can explain. I think we’ve all either lost someone to cancer or of had a family member or close friend who has had it, so I understand the not wanting to judge. I was hoping she would not be back.
I was also hoping NENE wouldn’t return
I’m pissed about Shamari but I guess the friend role isn’t bad either, hopefully she accepts it. Nene truly has nine lives doesn’t she? I’m cool with Kandi, Porsha, Eva and Tanya being full time, as long as I get my Shamari. I honestly don’t know what Cynthia can bring to season 12 🤷🏼♀️ I don’t think anyone wants to see another beef with Nene storyline like on season 7 again. I honestly don’t understand why Kenya won’t go to NYC to be with her husband and Cynthia won’t go to California to be with Mike. Why even consider Phaedra when you can just hire a spicy new wife? So many questions but hopefully bravo thinks fast before season 11 was a bust. Monique, Queen Naija and so many more live in Atlanta and could definitely bring it, so don’t mess this up Bravo.
Cynthia works out of ATL and Kenya has a home in ATL. Rhoa brought them both good income for many years. They’re hoping to get the bravo check and a huge platform … that’s why they’re still in ATL. Btw, Are you Independently wealthy where you don’t have to work like the rest of us? Psst. That’s a rhetorical question. Smh
I really liked Amari. She’s like that fun cooky friend. I could totally do without Marlo, I thought she was disgusting at the reunion too.
*shamari. Stupid auto correct.
So excited to see more of Tanya!
Marlo – disgusting
Nene – Repulsive
Shamari – likeable
Tanya – don’t know yet
Cynthia – Class act, but boring
Eva – okay, but boring.
Kandi – an excellent example that a woman can have it all
Porsha – maturing
Kenya – missed
I think nene was a complete idiot at the reunion she thinks she owns the place. Bring back k.moore n Phaedra.
I’m gutted about Shamari. I really like her. How does anyone at Bravo think that viewers want to see Marlo? She’s all vile with no redeeming features.
Marlo will probably be the only one Nene will film with. I might watch if I can fast forward through those two, otherwise, I will wait until Nene moves on to greener pastures. Nene is too unpleasant to watch.
I mean seriously what kind of shade and bones does nene have on bravo execs to have her come back???? They see the comments and watch the show. They know what her behavior is like and can see no one wants to watch her negativity anymore. Who is going to film with her,
Marlo?? She’s gonna kick Greg out too. We will see a whole lot of that swagalocious I guess. Just makes no sense. No one likes her
If you notice on this site, people like to HATE people more than they like to watch people they like. I can write a post about something stupid and rude Nene did to someone or wore and it will be my biggest post of the day.
Everyone CLAIMS they are going to stop watching but they never do. They tune in, scream at the TV for an hour about how horrible she is and provide the ratings.
It doesn’t matter to the producers if you like the people on the show or hate them. They make the same amount of money as long as you are tuning in.
So what she has on Bravo is all of us who watch her like the trainwreck she is. Because we are watching.
Lol, I can’t wait for a boycott of RHOA. But me alone won’t matter much, but should the day arrive, I can’t wait!!!! I will be there, lol.
I had the first episode of this last season on in the background, Nene disgusted me. I turned it off and haven’t watched all season.
‘Course I read every recap and the comments. waiting for the day I can watch and enjoy again, looks like that’s never going to happen!
Despicable that they would bring NeNe back. Get rid of her!
Married twice to the SAME man and she still doesn’t understand, appreciate nor honors the vow: in sickness and in health. Nene Leakes is a TOTAL disappointment on what purportedly a MATURE woman is to be. Understanding that sickness affects people differently, what happened to that sacred vow: in sickness and in health? She made Mr. Leake’s illness ALL ABOUT HER! It’s NOT about you, Nene! Not at all! Drama queen!!! GROW UP!!! MATURE! Let’s not talk the blatant disrespect of being UNFASHIONABLY late to the events in Japan that we’re scheduled to celebrate Eva, NOT NENE LEAKES! She made that all about her. Ungrateful, entitled heifer!
Hope Tanya’s back, she was a breath of fresh air 🙂
It’s simple…Nene is good TV. I wouldn’t spend more than 3 mins with her personally, but she is the reason we tune in. Cynthia,on the other hand, is beyond boring…even with the beef with Nene.
Happy to see Kenya eat more crow!
Since Marlo has a recurring role and makes more than Eva….why don’t they just make her a housewife? Not that I’m advocating for that..xbit it seems odd.
I have always been told it is an insurance issue due to her numerous felonies some of which were violent.
Since you are in the know is this because Bravo’s insurance would have to pay out if she attacked someone and she was full time?
Surely even as a friend, as she is on Bravos payroll, they could be brought into a lawsuit if she physically attacks someone on camera and causes harm to them.
Either way, I hate to admit – she has brought the drama and seems to be worth the investment if nastiness and mud slinging is what Bravo is seeking.
I have never understood the difference and have the same questions. As always, I only report what my trusted sources tell me.
Tamara,
I’m not sure if you blogged about this, though I’m sure you have, but I was watching season ten of Bridezillas and Gail/Yvonna was on that season! That’s when she just started going by her middle name.
I was not aware. Thanks.
I wish Bravo would have the balls or the decency to take a stand against the despicable things some of these women have done. NeNe should have been axed after her Uber rape comment. Phaedra is lucky Kandi decided to make dungeon lemonade out of the vicious lies Miss Christian Belle started about Kandi. I think,of the Hallmark Channel as wishywashy pap, but at least their suits fired Lori Laughlin.
Darlin’ I keep trying to tell you people that Bravo is the most MISOGYNISTIC NETWORK on your TV. And the viewers are for the large majority women. They are making a killing because women apparently love nothing more than seeing women do horrible things to each other for money. So it’s all of your faults for continuing to watch.
I CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU SO MANY BETTER SHOWS to watch and discuss and in order for me to make a living, I have to talk about the Misogyny Channel shows first and all the shit you should be supporting when I can work it in. I’m good with talking about any show y’all make profitable for me. That’s on YOU.
why does Nene Leakes or Marlo Hampton or Porsha Williams still have a job? BECAUSE YOU WATCH THIS SHIT. THAT IS ON YOU. WHY DON”T YOU “HAVE THE BALLS” To stop watching and start watching some of the other shows I recap knowing they will get way less views than the MISOGYNY CHANNEL.
Why does Andy Cohen get to be sexually inappropriate on his shit show? BECAUSE YOU WATCH.
If y’all started watching the duck calling channel I would recap that shit. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
I haven’t watched this carp in 2 years. I come here to get the recaps only! I’m not supporting this MISOGYNIST channel anymore. I remember when Bravo was a classy channel, with programming like Inside the Actors Studio. Now it’s all about showing the bottom feeding antics of supposedly highly professional black women. If all of the people here, on this wonderful blog site would stop watching, maybe it would make a small difference. As always with love to our fearless leader TT!
