I finally was able to get a bit of time with my EXCLUSIVE SOURCE. I finally got an update on RHOA Casting Tea ! So, I will share that first. Then, I’ll have another post with tiny cups of tea on some other shows.FINALLY! RHOA season fourteen is ready to begin filming! It only took to months to get all the contracts hashed out. Well, actually the friend contracts still are not done. Porsha, Kenya, Marlo, Kandi, Drew and Sheree will be full-time housewives. They are all signed on. Shamea, has signed on as a friend. The person who I am not allowed to name (because she hasn’t been offered a contract just yet for some reason) is expected to be a friend. Also, they are still trying to find one more friend. All of the ladies have been told this is a make or break season for all of them. The show will not air until 2022 and is slated to have an order of 18 episodes.

Porsha and Drew both held out for more money and got it. Speaking of Drew, she has had quite the glow up in between seasons. She looks beautiful. Kandi has the most favored nation clause which insures no one can make more than she does. I didn’t hear any specifics on her storyline. Marlo is expected to hold a peach for the first time. Kenya promises to have cameras follow her actual divorce proceedings. Last I heard, Marc has agreed to let Brooklyn film again.
According to my source, the theme for this season is redemption. All of the ladies are supposed to show their luxury lifestyles and how they are fighting through adversity in their lives. Bravo still wants the show to be aspirational in nature. Yeah, I don’t think anyone aspires to be any of these women. The whole show is about their ratchet behavior.
PURSUIT OF PORSHA
Pursuit of Porsha is expected to premiere immediately following the first episode of RHOA whenever that turns out to be. Porsha and Simon are thirsty as hell. They are being described as ratchet and rowdy according to someone who has seen some rough cuts. Dianne (Porsha’s mom), Lauren, and Dennis have many standalone scenes.

This special series will likely become a recurring one like Don’t Be Tardy. They take a family trip on a private jet that Simon actually paid for (not production). He also buys a property in Atlanta and pays for it in cash and puts Porsha’s name on the deed on the finale. They envision having their weddings, merging their families and even go deep into Simon’s rumored indiscretions. Porsha gives everyone what they’ve been dying to see, her real life. No more faking or fronting like she does on RHOA. They paid her pretty penny for this series so she owed it to them.
Oh, lawd. “Pursuit of Porsha” already sounds like a hot-ass mess. Knowing what Mama Joyce’s streets have been saying about Simon, Porsha’s a damned fool to co-sign anything with him. He may have “paid” for the private jet, but he probably had to borrow from Peter in order to pay Paul so he could rent it.
As for RHOA, I’m actually fairly pleased with this cast. Sheree may be another hot-ass mess, but at least her mess makes for good TV. And considering how low the standards have gone for casting (see above), there’s no excuse for not giving Marlo her peach already.
Will she be the next Erika Girardi? Who knows where he gets all this money from. Porsha might land herself in hot water dealing with him.
Best thing is finally “a make it break season”
These ladies probably think that means “act even more a fool” AHA!.😊
Just don’t think I am going to get my hopes up. Sheree
coming back seems like desperation on the show ‘s part, not hers. Hmmm.
Too many bad seasons to start over with out old and bad habits popping up.
I will TRY to think positive.😊
Apparently people on reality series never learn that flaunting money that you may or may not have is never a good idea. How soon after the Pursuit of Porsha airs will the feds be banging on Simon’s door with an arrest warrant? Of course, that may be just the drama RHOA is looking for.
Well, I may be the only one but that is nothing new….I will miss Cynthia. I enjoyed her calmness and niceness and bringing some style and grace. It takes a lot to offset the likes of Porsha but she did a bit of that.
With all of Porsha’s “wokeness” I don’t know how she can’t see how Bravo takes all the black women ( or almost all the black women) and turns them into screaming hot messes. Brings them right into the gutter. When they do have one or two on a predominately white cast show they make them antagonistic (NY, Below Deck). I don’t feel like Bravo is a friend to these women at all. I don’t feel like they are a friend to women period, but especially women of color. Yes, they have choices but production gives them that apple and just like Eve, makes it hard as hell to not take a bite.
I never got over Claudia Jordan being let go but I continued to half watch this mess. But now with Cynthia being gone I am done. Done.
I also would LOVE to have Claudia back!!!!!
Its about time Marlo is housewife!!!!!! OMGGGGG
this is fuckin amazing
Ive loved her since day 1 when she was the billionaire sugar baby
For Simon to be so happy and madly in love with Porsha, he sure can’t keep his ex wife Falynn third baby daddy Sheron Barber off his mind. I see right through Simon as do others and the funny thing is Sheron is self made and has long money, just as much if not more than Simon. This cast is cute but Having Falynn, Jayln and Sheron on would have brought in millions more viewers, especially with Falynn expecting her fourth child. The fact that this is a make it or break it season for these ladies tells me all I need to know and Bravo knows to.
Also Bravo waited months to “Finalize” practically the same cast from season 13, excluding Sheree and still no shakeup with the exception of Cynthia not being full time.
They’re gonna have to add a newbie to the full time ladies because it’s not giving. We need a newbie on with a great feisty personality, great family dynamic and some real money. 7 wives for season 14 is a must.
All the comments above mine are spot on!!!
I’m totally underwhelmed by the cast. If this is a make or break cast then season 14 is broken before filming even begins. The execs at Bravo must be tone deaf and I’m tuned out.
Cynthia should be here, now isn’t the time to tweak the formula. Drew is annoying and too immature for this group. Porsha’s a proud thot in denial. None of the rest of the group is exciting to watch, though I do like Kenya and Marlo. But like someone said above they’re about to be extra extra this season for no f’n reason.
Meanwhile Latoya is minting millionaires over at YouTube with all the drama she’s had going on since filming RHOA and Falynn had fed more that a few households too.
If (when) this season disappoints they should just pack up and move to LA, Houston, or Brooklyn with an all black ensemble cause if this is the cast I’m officially done. Hopefully they’ll add at least one Newbie. Wonder if she who shall not presently be named is KZ or PP?
Nah, she who shall not presently be named is a lovely woman who has a successful business in the ATL. I can tell you the issue that are concerned about once she is announced or the cast is announced without her. The concern isn’t about her, it’s about how do I say this…Bravo thinks a relatively minor difference between her and the other ladies might make it hard for her to fit in. Even though most of the ladies have hung out with her before.
Remember, The Suits are WEIRD. I could explain it better if it made any sense at all. If The Suits wanted to make sense, Fallyn would be a friend of.
Relatively minor…she’s gay? That’s my shot in the dark.
Nah. It’s really a lot of nothing and a strange thing for the suits to be worried about. Once she gets a contract, if she does, I’ll be able to share. I have to resect my sources if we want to keep getting the tea.
Is it a middle eastern person? I think there is a lady a few of them are friends with.
I think you’re right about Bravo execs. They do not listen to fans. I appreciate TT keeping us informed. I’m already thinking I will add RHOA to the do not watch list.
There’s nothing entertaining about RHOA anymore. Sheree coming back…what’s interesting about her fake life. She can’t even Park a car where she sleeps cause the repo man will come calling, ALLEGEDLY.
Porsha can’t decide who she is. Is she the granddaughter of a civil rights activist m, who wouldn’t dare go to a strip club without her husband’s approval, or is she a THOT who screws everything including the long dong stripper. I could not care less about her spin-off.
I’ll never understand why we have to keep seeing Porsha on our TV screens.
Agree 100%!!!!!!
This is the update I’ve been waiting for! Sounds like a promising season if they all put their best foot forward to make good TV. Hopefully the two new friends can make for later season peach holders. Some of the current women should take a backseat after this season IMO.
I’m not complaining because no matter who they sign on or shake up and out, I’ll still watch. Unfortunately I’m hooked on all the franchises. I even watched some international ones when they aired on bravo.
I’m surprised Kenya is opening up her personal life like that in the next season, seems like she’s the only one who kept some part of her personal life private. I’m wondering if there was a financial incentive to do that.
Kenya has no other “bag” if RHOA doesn’t work out. She has no choice but to bring it or it’s hanging in a chow line for her.
Kenya has offers all the time. She’s working on something right now. I’m pretty sure I know what it is and it is on a primetime Big Three network.
You always have the goods!!! And you report it without much opinion bias which I totally appreciate. Any word on what kandi has been filming with bravo? On a recent speak on it YouTube episode she said she has been filming something and it’s good or something. Maybe the old lady gang show?
Yes, she was filming OLG about the same time that Porsha was filming her spinoff. I think Porsha’s wrapped before hers. Also there was so much usable footage from Porsha’s filming that more episodes were added.
As for Kandi, I don’t know who is minding the restaurants but both OLG and Blaze have been having serious issues with their health inspections. 🙁
I would take Cynthia over Drew any day. I like the calmness she brings to the cast.
Favorite RHOA ranking:
#1 – Kandy
#2 – Kenya
#3 – Cynthia
#4 – Marlo
#5 – Porsha
TT what happened between Cynthia and Kenya? Couldn’t Kandi amd Kenya rallied for her? As boring as people say she is, Cynthia was messy without going over and beyond, shady without crossing boundaries and of course IS gorgeous. There are way too many housewives on this current cast with mugshots for me, BRAVO better have insurance up the wazhoooha because if they told them make or break…ratchet and unhinged city here we come.
For some reason, Kenya came after Cynthia on the Mash Up thing for Peacock.So Cynthia didn’t really have a “friend” (with or without a friend contract). I’m quite fond of Cynthia as well, but as someone said here, Cynthia got her happily ever after, she’s also bicoastal and even though she wanted to stay, it’s time for her to go enjoy her next chapter. You never want to still be in the bar when the lights come on. I enjoyed her calming presence and her smile. I know she is unhappy about not being asked back but I think it for the best for HER.
I NEED TO READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
https://tamaratattles.com/commenting-rules/
Marc didn’t agree to anything; a JUDGE made that decision, thankfully. 😄
Po TAY TOE, Po TAH TOE.
And not a very wise first comment.
Cynthia left on a high note. A Bravo rarity and something to be proud of. Production would probably have pushed her to “fight” with Mike if she had hung on.
Sheree can be fun….sometimes.
Heck, Shamari was a blast and I would like her back but it ain’t happening.
Any idea on who the two new friends of are or considering?
I know who one of them is. I don’t think they have a second one in mind yet.
Do we know who she is? Has she been on television before?
Probably not someone you would recall unless prompted. She’s been on for a couple of minutes once or twice.
Well, it was just confirmed that I will be skipping RHOA another season and relying on TT for snippets of what’s going on. Bravo is still overdosing on Porsha, and she`s just not that interesting to me.
This cast doesn’t sound strong to me. I love Sheree but I would not depend on her to be a central character to the storylines. Kandi is cool but she won’t bring the drama. I think we are all tired of Porsha vs Kenya. I guess the friends will have to bring the heat because most of who you named are in a good place with each other. Even though I am sick of the Simon/Porsha/Falynn love triangle, if done correctly it would have made great television (see: Apollo/Kenya/Phaedra)
Lets see how this plays out.
Not giving Falynn a peach was the worst mistake they have ever made. SO BAD. But she wasn’t even paid for last season, she just signed a release because SIMON want to be on the show. So now he is. Porsha is so dumb.
I did not know where to post this but a video has published from a day ago where Nene is at her lounge. She said that Greg is transitioning to the other side. Really sad news, I just wanted to share incase anyone did not hear
Yeah I saw that. My question was why is Lenethia not at Gregg’s side instead of making an announcement at her “lounge.” If my husband was dying, I would not go to work.
I’d be more surprised if she was at his side. I was watching Dynasty on the CW on Friday and Nene made a guest appearance.
Oh no! Greg was the only good thing about Nene. This makes me so sad.
You’re absolutely right, he was the best thing about her. And he loved(s) her so much, you could always see how much she meant to him. It’s truly heartbreaking.
