Kenya Moore is returning to RHOA for the upcoming season. I’ve known this was probably happening for a bit; however, I didn’t want to confirm it until the contract was actually signed. Because, I wasn’t really sure it was happening. The contract negotiation phase went on forever last season between Kenya and Bravo and ended with Kenya deciding to walk away. So we’ve been hearing rumors for a while but now it is confirmed.
This does not guarantee Kenya a peach. The contract she signed is a per episode contract. But, at this point I’m told the peach is there for her to take. Or lose. And both Bravo and Kenya are happy with the deal .I feel confident she will get the peach. But, I am always hesitant until it actually happens.
I am once again hearing that Eva Marcille’s peach isn’t completely locked in. This is the similar to last year when they couldn’t decide between Tanya Sam and Shamari Devoe. Ultimately, they went with Shamari and lived to regret it. This season, if they aren’t happy with Eva they have Tanya on the back burner to take her peach.
Meanwhile, the Nene Leakes problem persists. The only person who wants Nene on the show is the bravo suit who makes the decisions. As I previously mentioned, production is dropping like flies. The showrunner from last season doesn’t have it in her to spend another five months or so with Nene. So she left when Nene was picked up. They are hoping to hire a new one some time this week. Good Luck with that.
What’s Nene’s Story?
The talent executive at Truly Original is trying to hammer out everyone’s storylines. While four of the RHOA have a baby storyline, no one wants to film with Nene. Also, Nene doesn’t fit into anyone’s story. Nene also doesn’t have a story of her own. No one knows what to do with her. BECAUSE, she should have been fired. Now, after insulting and assaulting everyone, Nene says she is prepared to go on an apology tour. I am not sure anyone is interested in Nene’s fake apologies.
So production is supposed to start this month. And everything is a hot mess. Like it or not, Porsha Williams will be the primary focus of the season. She’s got a lot going on. Kandi Burruss has her surrogacy storyline. Eva Marcille is pregnant again! Kenya has her baby. It’s going to be a very baby-centric season.
So who do you think will crack and film with Nene Leakes? Cynthia? Kandi? Will it be like RHOBH this season with everyone on the outs with one cast member? Who knows? First things first. This circus needs a ringmaster. Until they get a show runner for this season, the show can’t go on.
And how excited are you that Kenya Moore is returning to RHOA?
Yay, Kenya is back!
Nay, Nene is still stinking up the joint.
Oooh, Tanya may get a peach.
Ugh, Eva may lose her peach.
I guess I’ll be watching RHOA again next season, but they really need to stop condoning violence, once and for all.
I feel like as though you sent me on an emotional roller coaster ride with this post. Also Yay Kenya is back.
I’m so happy Kenya is back!!!! TeamTwirl all the way. Give Tanya a peach. Eva is boring as crap. Hehe needs to go, she boring also. All hehe does is bully people and threaten to get them fired. Get rid of boring Cynthia and trashy Marlo
Who is HeHe and I hope you aren’t trying to call her a man as an insult. Honestly, calling people by nicknames is so immature I am always surprised when adults do this.
Yay Kenya is back I cannot wait to see her on my tv again. What a mistake Bravo made last season. Another mistake by keeping Nene.
TT I hope you address the news about Jenelle bc honestly yours is the only opinion I really care about or trust. I hope I don’t get in trouble saying that. I apologize if I broke a rule. I was going to email you but I’m guessing you have a full inbox about the situation. I’m suspicious of the news it seems murky.
I’m in love with the fact that Kenya is making her return
So excited Kenya is coming back!
Thumbs down on Kenya returning.
Agreed. Hated her since day one, but at least she made good tv the first few seasons, the last couple years she was on she didn’t even do that. Boo to Nene too!!
I wanted Kenya to move on with her life, I didn’t have it in me to watch last season and not sure I’m interested in the story lines this time around either
I’m so excited Kenya is back, and I’m overly done with NeNe! I love Tanya and I think she’s gonna have her peach next season!!
Excited Kenya is coming back.
Because … Kenya … and because she will now have seen NeNe’s nasty remarks at Cyn’s event. One more against NeNe.
Exulted that Phaedra will not be back.
Because … Phaedra … and because NeNe didn’t get her way. And because a potential alliance with NeNe has been quashed. (Notice Quashed, not Squashed.)
Appalled that NeNe is returning. Especially at the rate she is paid. She should have been fired when she made the Uber/[email protected] “joke.” She should have been ARRESTED for knocking out a production member’s tooth, sending him to the hospital. I am surprised that risk management hasn’t cut NeNe out of the mix.
Thank you Tamara for the delicious hot tea!
You cannot be surprised that risk management hasn’t cut NeNe! We are talking wig-snatching RHOA…the show where Porsha assaulted Kenya at a reunion, where Sheree grabbed Kim’s wig, where NeNe lunged for Kim on an RV ride, where Porsha called Cynthia a b*tch and Cynthia eventually kicked her, and I haven’t watched in several seasons so I’m sure I’m missing some!! ;-p
I’m all for Kenya returning. Hoping Cynthia keeps Nene at arms length after the last reunion. Cynthia and Kenya have a nice friendship so it’ll be good seeing them together. Especially if it kills Nene.
Will somebody please explain to me why Nene is still on the show? Does her egregious behavior increase ratings? Does exploitation of Gregg’s illness increase ratings? Does Nene have dirt on a powerful Bravo exec? Is her contract for several years long and cannot be broken? Does she still have a fan base so strong that it would not be wise for Bravo to get rid of her? Is Bravo waiting for an opportunity to film her breaking down to the point of no return and being carted off to a psychiatric hospital? I’m serious, y’all. Even if I liked Nene, I would have these questions.

Yaaasss Mother Twirl is back. TT is she making more than Marlo? I’m so happy we get to see Kenya and Brooklyn and hopefully Marc from time to time. I love and respect that he doesn’t want to be front and centre. This upcoming season sure will be great, Carlos King should return to complete the circus.
On Kenya’s return, I’m fine with it. Watching her journey from sadness and wickedness to joy and non-wickedness has been interesting, and I think there is more good to come.
People like money so I’m sure they won’t have a problem getting a show runner. If most of the ladies have baby centered storylines than that will for sure be boring. I’m sure Cynthia, Eva, and Kandi will film with Nene. 4 people with babies is not interesting. I will have to sit this one out
Totally agree. Kenya returning is silly to me. She must have been desperate for money.
It’s called a freaking job/income. Economics. Smh. Folks on here fronting acting like they were born with a silver spoon and don’t have bills or need money! Kenya is far from being stupid. RHOA is good money plus it’s quite a platform to branch off in big time money making ventures. HELLO?? Al la, Kandi. Bethenny Frankel, Vanderpump et al. Love it or hate it APPARENTLY she ain’t tryna miss the opportunity if presented. Kenya’s haters on this blog and RHOA always tried to hit her with Faketra’s BS; Kenya has scrambled eggs, She can’t get a man. She’s got bad skin. She’s stealing folks jailbird husbands, She has a fake husband. She’s faking her pregnancy(HELLO TT) Look at #TeamTwirl now??? She has Marc, Brooklyn a beautiful home and her dreams are reality. #TeamTwirl #Winning #WontHeDoit
Oh yes!! I am here for this!!! I was just watching 2013 reunion and Kenya was HATING on Porsha!! Heard that they are good now, which is nice. Nene who? She will be SO irrelevant. Money down the drain-
Per her ig, Tanya and her man have started IVF so that’s another baby storyline in the works.
Did they get married yet?
Nope
Any chance of Michael Beck coming back as EP?
Dear God, please don’t let things get that desperate. I’m not sure he wants the job anymore either. No one wants this job.
I think that everyone will film with Nene eventually except for Porsha. Porsha doesn’t need Nene this season and Nene is too jealous to offer an apology that isn’t qualified in some way. Porsha will call her on it. Cynthia is a sucker for Nene and Kandi gives everyone another chance.
Marlo will play peacemaker! Ay yi yi…
All that money they paying Nene could go to Shamari and Yovanna honestly. Bravo knows the ratings would do good with just Porsha, Kandi, Cynthia, Kenya, Tanya, Eva, Shamari and Yovanna. Also with Marlo and Phaedra, the ratings would be more than good.
Kenya is desperate, and although I’m not a fan, I think this will be detrimental to her family. She’ll eventually have to create drama in order to stay relevant…its what she does, but I’ve seen enough of March to see that ain’t him. Yuck
I love Kenya. I am not happy to hear of her return. I know the powers that be at Bravo will be relentless in their pursuit of more putrid attempts to bash her. She has Marc & the new baby after waiting so long for it. Hate the idea of her risking her new found happiness for reality television. She is strong proud & fabulous. I wish her the best.
Though I am not a Kenya, I am happy that she is back. I think she will give Nene a taste of her own medicine.We already know that Kenya gets under Nene’s skin. If Eva doesn’t come back then Marlo will be the only one who will tape with Nene next season I predict. You know it’s bad when the show runner quits!
Though I am not a Kenya “fan”. For some reason “fan” got deleted.
Eva is definitely coming back. She has the same kind of contract Kenya does for next season where she probably will have a peach. But Tanya is sort of the spoiler for both of them.
I couldn’t stand Kenya when she first came on the show, but she actually really grew on me, even tho I only sporadically watch RHOA really. Glad she’s at least getting like what, a part-time peach, to start with. Tamara, both pictures you chose of Kenya are simply marvelous – as usual, excellent choices! I’m so happy she finally was able to get her dream baby (even tho I still may have a few lingering questions there – ha ha – what with that weird prolonged gestational period or whether there might have been a surrogate or not – who knows, I don’t even care – she looks radiant and it’s clear she adores her little one). So yeah, YAY! Kenya’s coming back and I hope she gets a full-time peach at some point soon. I will echo others as well – I wish whomever that executive-woman is that has the crush on NeNe would suddenly get offered a job on the other side of the planet and someone else would take over and show that evil witch who has ZERO to offer this show to the door – she is the main reason I just cannot stand to watch RHOA anymore. I feel so sorry for Gregg, even tho maybe he made some mistakes along the way, but no one deserves to be treated that horribly and publicly humiliated by his wife like he has been, not just on the show, but on social media too. She is HIGHLY overrated on talent, seems strung out on something (not sure what) constantly, and is one of the most hateful women on television. Hope Kenya rocks this next season and hope we get to see a little bit more of her little one on the show too – I’ll just record the show and FF past anything related to that train wreck witch, NeNe, next season.
Kenya coming back will certainly be interesting!!!!!!
I can’t believe Nene is back. Ugh.
I do think that Kenya and Porsha will film with Nene. Kenya just to confront her/show she isn’t intimidated/earn her peach. Porsha because they had a relationship and they still have some unresolved things.
I think Kenya will film with Nene also.
Kenya back = good, Nene back = bad. Am I the only one that kinda liked Shamari? Not super psyched to see all the screaming brats on deck, but hell, it’ll be different.
Never has the saying ‘to burn all your bridges’ been more apt, except perhaps when the Russians burned their own bridges in WWII so the Germans couldn’t. Nene really makes a dumpster fire of every relationship she has. I often feel for the poor souls unfortunate enough to call themselves Bryson’s Baby Mama. I bet she gives them hell.
I can’t wait to see all Kenya is up to, and I hope she is just herself. Not Switched On Kenya. I don’t care for her.
Boy has the mighty Nene fallen. What happened to the TV shows, talk show appearances, and Broadway? Now she’s just acts old, mean and nasty. What’s she on? There’s something going on with her besides her big head. So glad Kenya’s coming back.
LOL some dude tried to post as “Carlos King” saying that I was the last person to report this “Exclusive” obviously not someone who reads here. This is my third or forth report on the story. I report on signed contracts not speculation. But I have pointed out the misinformation along the way several times.
Tamara Why am I in moderation?
Because you can’t spell your email address.
Same answer for the emails asking the same thing.
Please stop spamming.
Tamara.. Why is comment in moderation?
Because you can’t spell your email address.
ohhh. I see … need to wear my glasses and not use my Ipad. as it sticks.
Perhaps you should also not blow me up twelve ways from Sunday as if I have some how done something to you.
LOL! LOL! LOL! The frankenstein and the monster story answers all of my questions. Thanks, TT. You always come through. 🙂
I think that Frankenstein is starting to get that all the problems for season 12 are her fault. When the showrunner walked (AGAIN) leaving her to be the monster whisperer and no one for the monster to film with while she eats up a large portion of the budget … I think Frankenstein is having buyers remorse. Like when you are drunk at an auction and end up way over paying for something you liked until the next day when you sobered up and it was already at your house.
They would have to bring back PhaEdra too–just to film with Nene….
Other sites are reporting that is happening but my sources say the suits haven’t spoken with her at all.
Yesssssss Nene’s gonna hate that, which makes it far more delicious viewing. Although that does seem like a lot of babies. I suppose it’s completely out of the question to ask a couple of them to sell their babies before filming starts right? I don’t think I can take a season full of diaper commercials.
It is rather excessive. But is there even a fucking market for babies these days? It’s like people are still plopping them out in their 50s. As an old fart, I find it humorous these are the same fools screaming about global warming. The earth is dying. I will die first. So, WINNING!
Good for her!
It will be interesting to see if Phaedra shows up to Porsha’s upcoming sip and see. I think it’s one of the first big filming events of the upcoming season and Porsha said she’ll be there so I guess we just have to wait and ?. This is probably the only franchise in the series that has so much mess going on behind the scenes and can’t pick a solid cast before filming.
You need to speak on what your see wherever it is you are seeing it. AKA PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES!
Until we have a showrunner, we have no idea who will be in any of the scenes…
I don’t like NeNe, Tanya, Eva, Shamari (and husband), Cynthia, sooooo may need some new cast members? Lol.
Looks like I won’t be excited for this season, definitely.
Awesome ? news, even though I gave up on bravo but I will tune back in for season 12.
Oh please let this be true. Queen twirl is coming back!! ???? #teamtwirl
So excited for Kenya! I hated her at first because her interactions seemed forced but as the seasons progressed you saw her real friendships and the real her slip through.
Who is Kenya going to “play in the sand” with I wonder?
Let Todd produce the show.
What happened to Todd on the show? He was one of the producers.
And even with your fave coming back; you can’t stop the Nene hate….lmaoooooooooooooo
I look forward to Kenya coming back…she made a good “villian” on the show and I think she will be able to handle Nene without feeling any regret. I would love to see Phaedra back in some capacity, she is a god awful person IMO but I think she brings an entertainment value to the show
TT I’m just curious what is your real issue with Nene? Did you guys have an unpleasant run-in? I just noticed that you tend to hurl a lot of insults her way. I thought this was an unbiased blog
I’m not sure you know what a blog is. Never ever have I been unbiased from my first blog about meeting Jill Zarin to the last one. If nothing else the title of my website should have clued you in. Also, if you watched RHOA you might see what my issue with Nene is. I presume you do have eyes. She demeans her husband with cancer, attacks production, scams people…PAY ATTENTION PLEASE!
Ok fair enough you don’t like Nene. But your precious Kenya is the real scammer. She talks a good game but never seems to deliver. She pretends to have this sphere of influence in Hollywood but this is not the case. She’s not a credible actress or producer LMAO. What happened to Life Twirls On? I thought a major network was supposed to pick up? See talks a good game but can’t ever deliver.
I’m going to need y’all to all get together and come up with a list of who it is “fair enough” for me to like and not like.
