As of today, July 9th, RHOA contracts have STILL NOT BEEN SENT OUT! The last plan for RHOA filming to begin mid July. That is not going to happen. Instead, Porsha has been taping her show, and the official title will be Pursuit of Porsha after her book, after the publishing company agreed to allow Bravo to use the title last Tuesday. It is supposed to dive deep into her real life. Isn’t that what RHOA is supposed to do? Is her real life really all that interesting? I was told before it could be a six episode season, but it is back to being only three. Simon is all over the special. Apparently, he is not “low class” just Fallyn. #Eyeroll So he got what he wanted. And they are really trying to push this “fairytale relationship.” Her 40th birthday is also on the show.
Also, Kandi and Todd have been filming OLG. Kandi literally has over half a dozen projects going on at the same time right now. I have no idea how she does it! She has about three more weeks left to film. She could technically do both RHOA and OLG at the same time if the suits get their shit together for RHOA.

Sheree was contacted and had a meeting with Bravo about a role on season 14. That is her big hint on Instagram where she says they keep calling and I finally answered the call. But we knew that all ready. It seems likely the two sides will make a deal in the upcoming days. I expect her to be a glorified friend like Marlo instead of a full-time cast member. But you never know for sure. Again, they are a month behind on getting contracts out.
And The Big News Is…
Apparently Phaedra Parks made comments about Lil Nas X and his performance on the BET Awards on social media. In case you didn’t watch, I am attaching the YouTube of his BET performance below. Basically, he does a sexy dance with a bunch of men, at the end of the song he makes out with one of the dancers. Some Instagram account posted about it and someone made homophobic comments about the video. Phaedra read the homophobic comments and supported them. She said he should use his platform to teach about AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Something that she would never say to a straight performer. She really needs to educate herself about AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Social media came down hard on Phaedra for being anti LGBTQ. As if she hasn’t been a homophobe all along. She used to have smart shit to say to about Miss Lawrence and Derek J wearing heels. She made smart ass comments about Don Juan, as did Nene Leakes. Also, she ran hot and cold with Dwight who did nothing but try to help her throw events. So, The Suits seems to be trying to clean up their shows and get rid of all the racists and homophobes. At this point, it seems they have decided NOT to bring back Phaedra Parks.
Well, l for one am glad Phaedra will not be coming back. Thanks for the hot tea, TT.
I a…..gree!!!!!
Ditto
Thanks T T, I try and try, but gawd………..LOL
(to think of all the fakeness, no storylines, and boring)
Your exclusives are gold though!!
If the choice really came down to Sheree or Phaedra, I’m relieved that they opted for Sheree to return. Sheree may be an absolute hot ass mess, but Phaedra is so evil in so many ways.
If Bravo and the producers keep falling behind schedule on filming, is it possible we won’t have a new RHOA season until January or February?
I think there was a point when they wanted them both back. There are still three new people that are being considered, but I am not allowed to say the name of the one I’m pretty sure is in just yet (because she doesn’t know). It is someone who has appeared once or twice before, who knows the cast and owns a business that we have also seen before. I’ve probably said too much.
OMG is it the cookie lady!!
No! LOL but that could be great. Hopefully she is one of the other two, but I doubt it. I think Phaedra was probably the third one. The one I know about was so low key on her episodes she would probably not come up as a guess.
Could it be the
lady that was on one of the Tyler Perry shows??
If the choices are as such, maybe they will cancel! LOL
(Stay cool and safe 😎)
I was a Phaedra fan and somehow drank the kool-aid trying to make excuses for her “edit” on the show, but after her liking the Lil Nas X homophobic tweet, hell nah!
As a gay, POC, male, I cannot support trash like Phaedra getting a bigger platform than the one she will have in hell when she croaks. She is trash with a prayer clothe on top.
Chil’ please, where all your jooooobs at now boo?
Oh Deano… we are going to need more comments from you. LOL.
YAY Deano!!😀
YAY Deano!!😀I thought that I was her biggest despiser, LOL
Maybe they should bring Angela Stanton on…lol…that would really piss Phaedra off…I am glad she will not be coming back.
Deano,, love this comment!!! I liked her too at one time. She could bat her eyelashes while cutting someone off at the knees with her shade. I found her humorous for a bit, but no more. She doesn’t need to come back.
The only reason I was interested in a Phaedra return is because I’m sick of “neutral Kandi”. Kandi is much more interesting when she has a conflict storyline. However, I will be watching OLG. I hope they include Blaze failing that health inspection and Kandi subsequently getting in EVERYBODY’S ass! LOL.
I’m here for OLG! Great ☕️
I am glad Phaedra is off the table. I disliked her from the first time I saw her on RHOA.
BUT what I am REALLY glad about is that she voiced her true opinion on LGBTQ people BEFORE she was signed on for RHOA. She deserves not one second to spew her hateful bullshit on that national/international platform.
Crawl back in your dark hole of hate FayFay. I hope her boys don’t “catch” all that hatred from Mommie Dearest! She worries (rightly so, sadly) about the dangers her sons face as young Black men in America. But is deaf and blind to the dangers that our LGBTQ members face. Anyone who is affected by the dangers of that kind of hatred should have MORE EMPATHY for others who face it. Instead of saying things that put them in the line of fire. The absolute WORST are those who hide behind religion!
Are the suits still looking to bring in two new wives?
Source said “expecting Porsha, Kenya, Drew, Marlo, and Kandi to return. Latoya and Cynthia to be out. Three new cast members to join.” So that leaves us with four full time, Marlo and Sheree (mostly likely) part time though Sheree could grab a peach I guess and two other women. I presume Sheree is in the “three new cast members group.” I am pretty certain of one new housewife and have not gotten any info on the other options other than to have some rumors ruled out.
Are the new options married?
I believe the one I know about is. She’s a grown ass successful woman.
I really hoped that being part of the “RH Allstars” was an indication that Cynthia would be staying on. Every show needs a stabilizing person who gets along with all/most of the others. There needs to be some breathing room between all the yelling and backstabbing.
I was also thought that meant Cynthia would be back but since it is a different production company and for peacock I guess it is separate. I feel like Kandi and Cynthia serve the same purpose at this point so we don’t really need both if you think about it. They can go between the groups delivering gossip and they are Kenya’s backup.
Well that was really dumb of her. She had almost weaseled her way back onto the show. Almost.
If that bitch were HALF as smart as she thinks she is … she wouldn’t think she was TWICE as smart as everybody else!
Her fucking hubris finally but her on her donkey stallion ass! Hah! Bwahahahaha!
Why does it seem like everytime phadrea has an opportunity to comeback the show she puts her foot in her mouth. I’m rather see Shereè over phadrea because Shereè will be messy, give us bits and pieces of her life and the bone Carrier. Phadrea on the other hand would just be there, won’t show us who she’s dating or her real life, just basically there to throw a read/shade here and there because that’s all she’s good for. Speaking of that, If production was smart they would bring Falynn back for a scene like they did with Apollo’s girlfriend, but since bravo is very pro porsha I can’t see that happening. Over all like to see what season 14 is bringing!! Thank you TT for the scoop
The Bravo Suits have been twisting themselves into pretzels for WEEKS trying to “get the cast right.” When all they had to do, was give Falynn a fucking peach! But noooooooooooo
I really wish they would reconsider Falynn…especially if Cynthia may be out. It’s like they don’t want anymore HWs who are not fans of Porsha. And want to uphold the narrative Porsha and (mostly) Simon are pushing by icing Falynn out even though she’s the natural choice. Missed opportunity and a total shame
I think Falynn herself would be boring, because I guarantee her settlement with Simon includes language preventing her from speaking against him and his businesses and his relationships in a public forum. I am not interested in Kenya orchestrated events to torment Porsha. Not because Porsha doesn’t deserve this backlash, but because it really makes Kenya look like a scumbag. She can’t help going so low that she winds up looking like a villain even when she has the moral high ground.
It seems the suits forgot what was one of the most iconic storylines on the show. The scandal that defined almost five years of RHOA. The Phaedra & Apollo vs Kenya situation. This would be a new spin on the “love triangle” and could create great television. Lets pray some sort of sense prevails.
Are the new wives married?
I only know of one, but yes I believe she is. She is a successful businesswoman.
I like Sheree but I do not see the point of bringing her back by herself. She really does not have much to offer especially in a friend role. Sheree has never carried a big storyline so what will be the point of having her as a friend, Kandi can be the “bone carrier.”
I don’t like some of things Phaedra has done but I think bringing her back would have added more to the show, her vs Kandi, her and Kenya, her and Porsha. I think if they brought Phaedra back then Sheree as her support would have made sense.
I took Phaedra making the comment about Lil Nas X differently. I understood it to be about teaching black people about HIV AIDS not the anti LGBT part. All the ATL ladies maybe with the exception of Kandi & Cynthia have made homophobic jokes so why block only Phaedra for it.
Lets hope the suits change their mind *crossing fingers but not holding my breath*
Also is the new girl Joi?
There is literally only one way to to take Phaedra’ comments. She’s never been shy to hide her Anti LGBTQ stance. Something she should keep to herself in the entertainment industry. Something Nene also learned. Don’t believe me? Ask Ryan Murphy.
So for sure Cynthia is out? i hope not. I liked her.
It seems so. I would have liked them to put a bow on Cynthias story. She got married and is happy so I guess we could say her story is closed but I feel like something is missing, maybe give her a few episodes next season to wrap up her story.
I like Cynthia too. NOTHING is ever for sure until contracts are signed. And they haven’t even gone out yet. They are still up in the air on the new people so it sort of depends on how that goes. The Suits are really pulling their hair out this season trying to get it right. They should call me and I’d tell them exactly what to do. lol. And it would not involve Sheree and her questionable activity with her felonious boyfriend.
Find out about the new peaches, you’re torturing us lol.
Ha! I think I know who the frontrunner is but I am not allowed to say and frankly I already forgot her name but I know who she is. Things are still changing all the time. It’s ridiculous.
Glad to here she’s not coming back and she did it all on her own this time, she can’t blame a producer! Great tea!
I find Drew painfully boring, nor do I care about her relationship with her micro machine husband. Andy (and Bravo) kept talking her up like she was the 2nd coming. But I’d take Shamari or Eva or anyone over her.
And TT is right. Bravo is forgetting to Keep It Simple Stupid! FALYNN. Are you fucking kidding me? It’s so obvious. But Bravo seems real focused on making Porsha a star, but after this insta-marriage, most of her fans (including me) regard her with a giant eyeroll.
So stop protecting her by not casting Falynn, Porsha’s already lost fans, and we don’t want another boring RHOA season.
My cast (as of this minute lol) — Porsha, Falynn, Sheree, Cynthia, Kandi, Marlo & Kenya. And Porsha will need a real friend, so I guess Shamea as a “friend of”…
[I know, I know, Marlo will never get a peach, but a boy can dream! And who cares if she was a sex worker, it’s 2021? Get a grip Shari Levine, you’re casting RHOA, not the Algonquin round table.]
PREACH. I would rather see a former (or even current) sex worker with a peach than a shady fake Jesus-take-the-wheel hypocrite like Phaedra. The problem I have with Marlo is that she never expressed GENUINE regret for slashing that woman’s face.
Apparently, you can be a FELON AFTER you are cast but if it is a violent felony you cannot hold a peach for Insurance reasons. I know, IDGI either. But that’s the fact. And once more with feeling, Marlo makes more money than some of them that have peaches. She just doesn’t get to hold a peach in promos. And no, that make no sense at all but it is apparently and insurance deal as in “well she slashed open some girls face before” sort of liability. I guess maybe background checks are not required for “friends”? I dunno. I have never understood it. But she is a full RHOA in everything other than the official title.
Random question TT, I’ve read your site for years and you had mentioned the marlo and insurance liability situation in the past. I’ve always wondered if Danielle Staub aka Beverly Ann Merrill fell under this insurance liability as well And why she wasnt a full housewife upon her return? I’m assuming she when she signed up for jersey’s first season she didn’t give the Beverly name, it wasn’t after she was on the show her shady past was revealed. Just curious 😀
The insurance thing has never been explained to my satisfaction. It makes zero sense to me that the size of the role has anything to do with the ability to insure. It simply does not make sense. But, I’ve been told that by more than one person who would know. I mean what about Married to the Mob cast? Love and Hip Hop? I honestly don’t get it.
You have to remember that the real decision makers (not Andy Cohen even though he still gets to chime in) are women and gay men. I sincerely believe that Drew is back because that subset thinks Drew is HOT! And he is. lol. But my source about the Porsha’s wedding was all about how hot Drew is and barely mentioned Porsha at all. LOL.
Nothing about Drew is hot. That person is nuts. 🤦🏽♀️
Sorry, I mistyped. It’s because production thinks RALPH is HOT. lol.
Not only is Drew boring….she fake and rehearsed just like Phaedra’s reads. Drew is delusional, hypocritical and I feel sorry for her fine husband.
She’s phaedra 2.0. Lol!! Yeah dare I say it, I’d rather see Wig and Croy over her and hotness, Nah!!
Drew has bouts of manufactured fake ness, but she seems to me to have a more genuine side that Phaedra can not muster. Her hubby’s hot but I don’t see how that alone could secure Drew a peach!?! I definitely give him props regarding his relationship with his step son. That’s a stand up man in my book.
I doubt that it is just that. I just happen to know that the male production members REALLY have a thing for Ralph. Most of my feedback from sources at Cynthia’s wedding was about how hot he is…. lol.
I liked Drew most of the season, she did not seem like she was forcing herself into drama in comparison to someone like Latoya. However the last few episodes when Drew started with the Profit stuff I thought it was so contrived and wanted her off my screen. I am willing to see her a second season but she needs to stay centered, not turn up for the camera.
Is a NeNe return completely off the table?
If there’s a God in Heaven!🙏
ROFLMAO.
Good to know. Lol
While I must admit I have liked Porsha from the beginning ( & still do ) her story arch & elevation to HBIC is a lot of smoke & mirrors. Production is literally living to puppeteer her into a false narrative to increase her likability sustainability on the show & manipulate the storyline into a 1940’s black & white melodrama where the misunderstood unhappily married physically violent THOT redeems herself in the eyes of the public & lives happily ever after. I love a good period piece & am a classic film fan but this is NOT her reality. It’s a shame they cannot focus on all the genuine achievements Porsha has accomplished i.e surviving a divorve, finding her own voice, realizing violence is never the answer or a good look , being betrayed by close friends & giving birth to a beautiful & much cherished daughter.
Is there a chance Nene could return
ROFLMAO.
So let me preface this by saying that I am old. Thank you. I liked the old RHOA. Lol.
When are they going to bring back Miss. Lawrence and Derek J?
It is SO much better when the boys are on. On that note, I wish we had a reality show exclusively about gay men and their hags.
There is no more satisfying relationship than a woman and her gay best friend. We need more intersexual friendship based shows.
Thanks for listening to this old bag. Tamara you are never the oldest gal in the room when I’m here my dear. 😊
Miss Lawrence and Derek are never coming back. They weren’t properly compensated and they were treated rudely by some of the cast, Nene in particular who appropriated all of their lingo. They have both spoken out against their treatment on the show and the reasons they left. Bravo probably couldn’t afford Miss Lawrence even if he was willing to return, which he is not.
Is Shamari under discussion? I was not a big fan but I did not dislike her either. She is currently on a reality show called Encore with Aubrey O’Day and other singers trying to make a supergroup. On this show she seems very balanced as compared to the others’ shenanigans.
Nah for some reason they didn’t like Shamari. I have kind of already forgotten about her entirely.
Who are the new wives? Please give us the scoop.
Nothing is settled yet. Everything I know for sure is in the post.
