A source claimed Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore will return to Real Housewives of Atlanta next season. Meanwhile, Kenya revealed she’s open to filming again with Porsha, her frenemy who left the show in 2021.
Last weekend, Kandi Burruss announced her exit from the cast, claiming the filming hiatus gave her too much time to think. She suggested that she and Bravo weren’t on the same page with negotiations.
“We can confirm that two OG’s will be a part of the cast,” wrote fan account @theneighborhoodtalk on Instagram. “We spoke exclusively with close sources to the peaches who confirmed that Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore are locked in for season 16.”
Speaking with Page Six, Kenya shared that she isn’t opposed to Porsha’s return.
“I think we made great TV together. You know, I think we’re the best frenemies. Some of the best times on that show have been created with me and Porsha,” said Kenya. “Some of the most iconic moments have been created with us being onscreen together. So I feel like that magic could still exist if she comes back.”
Kenya revealed that the season 16 cast is nearly “finalized.” She believes it will be completed “within the next 30 days,” and they’ll start filming this spring.
“I think they’re 100 percent focused on creating a dynamic new cast with some oldies and some newbies,” Kenya added. “So we’ll see. We’ll see. Season 16 might just be as sweet as you want it to be.”
According to Kenya, however, NeNe Leakes won’t be included.
“I pretty much know the door is closed on NeNe,” she said. “You know, I think Andy has said it out of his own mouth that, you know, he’s going to keep her name out of his mouth. So I think I have to say that’s not a possibility.”
