Finally, we have the RHOA cast for RHOA season 13. Letters were overnighted via FedEx and emailed this morning to the cast and their attorney of record. The order of the decisions is important. Porsha, Kandi, Kenya, Nene and Marlo. Were first and in that order as I previously shared. That left Tanya, Cynthia and Eva on the bubble.
I don’t know if they picked Cynthia up at a lower rate or not (friend) and Nene could demand to be in every episode (which is a clause that Bravo is not willing add for anyone) and decline her pick-up. But I expect everyone to sign on the dotted line for whatever the letter dictates. Porsha and Tanya got a big bump. Kenya received a huge raise. Kandi and Marlo both received an “adjustment”. Nene got a 5% raise and Cynthia is unknown.

This story is still developing and I’ll have more on the new housewives soon. Sorry for the delay I slept all day and am feeling better now.
I’m sad to see Eva go, but I totally get why she may not be trying to stay on the show.
Didn’t Cynthia already announce she’s leaving? Are they letting her do a “Friend” stint before fading her out next season?
I’m glad Kenya’s getting a raise, and I’m warming up some more to Porsha. But as long as Nene’s still stinking up the show, it’s hard for me to watch RHOA. What else must Nene do before they finally let her go?
I won’t watch because of Nene, I don’t understand how she has so much power.
I cannot take NeNe leaks period her behaviour is ridiculous.
Amen to that statement!!
Nene started the show
She may have started the show, but she’s just gotten tired and stale and frankly, very hard to watch. I liked Eva! She’s way too classy for this show though. I would have liked to see her in Potomac.
SHE’S THE HCIC
I’m also glad to see Kenya get a raise. Even Andy was easy on her after getting destroyed all season.
She has a very compelling storyline now, with either a failing marriage or single motherhood with a cross country custody thing going on.
I still believe Kenya will get her happily ever after, it just wont be what she imagined.
Well TBH here rate was SLASHED and she is probably only back to where she was. She can contractually never make more than Porsha or anyone who was there before her.
But didn’t Porsha get setback due to the hair pulling season. She was just a friend for a season so maybe Kenya could catchup
Porsha and Kenya came on RHOA at the same time.
Kenya didn’t have a peach for season eleven. Are we just sharing random RHOA facts here today?
UGH
She brings more than Porsha in terms of heat. I don’t know if that can be true. For instance, I’m sure and hope that on RHONJ, Margaret makes more than Dolores, because she definitely brings more to the show, despite her not having been there as long.
Fortunately,it doesn’t matter what you think the situation is. I KNOW. The housewives have seniority ranking based on time on the show.
I don’t get how Nene is getting a raise..what does she bring to the show? Talk about no storyline
Nene has a really good lawyer and a really good agent. Her agent is moving to CAA and Nene will go with her. That will give her even more leverage. Not only did she get a raise but on Monday there will be conference call with tons of people. Nene is expected to demand she be paid her rate for every episode whether she is on them or not. Bravo is expected to refuse. Nene is expected to hold out and possibly walk. Because she is an idiot. We shall see. Also filming has been pushed back(again) to mid July.
I initially thought she had that clause last year but I miss understood my source. Last year she held out and kept negotiating, missing the first couple of episodes. She was paid for THOSE episodes that she was not in. But later in the season she was also out of a couple of episodes. She was not paid for those. That is a big chunk of change at her pay rate. Bravo is not inclined to give anyone a play or pay clause. They kind of duped her last season by agreeing to pay her for the initial episodes she missed and then excluding her from later episodes to make up the difference.
I agree. I run into NeNe twice per year when attending the Apparel show for my boutiques. I’m no groupie so I pass her like Christ passed Satan. However she’s so nasty to these women. They’re business owners just as she is so they’re only saying hello or can I get a pic. Hell when the Kardashian’s are in attendance they are SUPER genuinely pleasant and their network is a lot more. She treats Greg poorly in front of everybody. However she’s extra pleasant to her Gay entourage. They cater to her ego. She should be nice to them but her husband should come first. The day she crosses one of them…. you haven’t been read until you’ve been read by a “Good Judy” .
I’m happy Eva is gone from this hot mess and want her to go on to bigger and better. Sitting on this show arguing with the likes of Nene and Porsha was below Eva, no matter how much money Bravo was giving her, she could do much better elsewhere. I wish her the best on the morning show and hope she gets back into movies, scripted tv shows and stage plays like she did in the past.
They are literally bringing the same cast back next season with the exception of Eva, so that means the same Nene, Porsha and Kenya drama we’ve been getting for years and recycled storylines. I love Cynthia but I don’t know what auntie is gonna be giving next season but her wedding to Mike but she’d do well in a friend capacity.
It’ll be interesting to see if they go with Drew Sidora or Yovanna or someone totally new and a surprise to be the new housewife.
I don’t really know anything about Drew…other that she is younger than the rest of the RHOA.
I don’t think she will be a good fit. She was on the last season of Growing up Hip Hop Atlanta. She’s an odd lot. She’s really to young to be part of the cast.
They should bring back DaShawn
I’m glad too. I’m a big Eva fan. She can do better than any hot mess that NeNe unfortunately is the head of. I cannot with that woman.
Bye Eva and please take Cynthia with you
Hahaha???
??
I’m confused, so Tanya was on the bubble but she did get an offer? If she did get the offer is she now a housewife or friend? Eva will be better off doing the radio show. Avoid that toxic show as much as possible.
Tanya, really? She doesn’t add a whole lot, except that Hibachi room.
Do you think Marlo will turn her plum into a peach? Seems like with her taking guardianship of her nephews, there’d be an actual storyline besides her being a middle-aged sugar baby for the elderly….
I doubt they ever would, but Bravo should put Cynthia on RHOBH now that she’s out there most of the time with Mike. She already knows a lot of those ladies, and her laid-back approach is more suited to BH than ATL, IMHO
Marlo will never have a peach and she doesn’t care because she is paid more than several people who do. It’s something with the insurance requirements do to her violent felony record.
I find it makes Marlo a very special housewife from all the others.. she’s one of my favorites on all the franchises. I always want more Marlo
I’m shocked at Tanya. I thought after the reunion it was proof that she’s not needed at all. Also why are they pushing Marlo on us? I wonder if the new lady is RL from Nexts wife. I can’t wait for someone fresh to join the show.
I totally agree with you on both Tanya and Marlo they bring nothing to the show!!! Also Nene is playing out!!!
I’m a bit out if the loop, but did Marlo finally earn her peach??
I’m not sure what’s going on but they definitely need to bring back Ms. Parks!!!!
Clearly, you are not aware of what is going on. Phaedra who?
Dear God in heaven no, not Phakedra. This show needs new faces
I love Tanya and really hate that she is on this show. I just wish she would do some other show that is much more classy where she can showcase the work she is doing mentoring entrepreneurs in technology. She literally has to lower her standards to do this show and it is easy to see her discomfort. I guess it keeps her visible and opens doors to her other ventures.
Does anyone know the breakdown of all of their salaries?
Yes. Someone does. And I have posted about it many times.
Thank you for updating us!
Do you think Cynthia would replace Denise? I don’t know why they think the viewers want NeNe. I’m tired of arguing and yelling between the cast. I hope they are able to travel this year because my favorite scenes are the trips.
Bravo doesn’t really allow cast member to change franchises. Not sure why.
I wish they would change that. It would definitely shake things up!
I wish Kenya would go away for good. She SUCKS as a human being. I would be happy to see pretty Brooklyn every episode though…
Bushwick she is extremely toxic & a malignant narcissist. Ppl like her are extremely dangerous! ???
Wow so much hate in the world. Congrats.
Really? She’s drama, but I wouldn’t call her a completely horrible human being, especially when you consider all the actual criminal behavior that Nene has pulled! Kenya is great for the show because she pushes boundaries without having to stoop to actually physically assaulting people. All of these shows need a villain to hate, and Kenya makes a good one because she’s so pretty and smart. Not what you would normally expect a villain to look like.
Anen
I love Kenya and her daughter, Brooklyn is so cute.
I’m so confused. Is Tanya a “friend”, or is she getting her peach?
I hope she’s getting the peach. She’s got good energy. I’m curious about her life (and want to see more).
I’ve always liked Eva (since Top
model), but she never really found her way on the show.
I wish they would bring back Claudia Jordan. She really knew how to rattle NeNe’s Cage! She was fun and spunky, too.
Kinda ready for Cynthia to ease on down the road!
I was confused as well regarding Tanya. I too would love for Claudia to return, she’s the only person who can stand toe to toe with Nene and not back down.
Glad you feel better TT. thanks for the tea.
7500.00 was good when you didn’t have to do nothing but be pregnant and eat.
Well there we will disagree because I actually like positive images of black women. Beautiful, a good mother, happy, not constantly being violent… you know, a good person. Your mileage clearly varies and you prefer the negative portrayal of black women.
I completely agree. This is why I get sick of people calling Kandi boring. She’s the type of black woman that needs to be seen.
Tamara, so did Eva really quit or was she not picked up and given the choice to say she quit? It just seems weird that she quits right as pickup letters are sent. As always thanks for the tea.
Eva was not picked up. And she is allowed to say whatever she wants to say. NO ONE ever says they were not picked up.
Why oh why is Tanya still around? She could’ve left and we could’ve kept Eva especially at such a low rate. Shame on Michael Sterling, that is Eva the Diva. I would’ve loved to see Eva’s story evolve on thr show. I dk, I may just watch Kandi and Kenya scenes on youtube and of course your recaps TT, I can’t stomach anymore ratchet, guttersnipe, unrefined behaviour. It’s too much.
Tamara when you say Kandi got an “adjustment “ does that mean her salary was lowered? Also do you think NeNe’s recent antics and calling out Andy will affect her contract salary?
Kandi got a nice raise. Nothing Nene does ever has any repercussions. She could shoot people on Time Square and still get a raise. It’s the craziest thing ever.
Lol thanks. If everybody getting a raise how are they going to pay my girl Kenya what she deserves? ?
Kenya got a nice raise. But she was only paid $25K per episode last season. So she needed on.
Tamara what’s the tea on phae phae is she coming back in some capacity are there even talks about it ????
Who? 🙂
Haha at the who?
Was Nene fires? I’m reading that everywhere.
You should comment about that “everywhere”. My original post above is the accurate story.
Thanks for clearing that up TT. I felt
Your story was accurate. I love your page ?.
Thank you kindly
Just a heads up TT I saw screen shots of this article posted in a group on Facebook without a mention of where they even got the content from. Pissed me off! A commenter posted them but still she should’ve given you credit and the page owners should’ve said something about it. Not sure if I’m allowed to mention the name or not but you’ll have my email if you want it.
