Porsha Williams, Kenya Moore, & Drew Sidora Return Full-Time For ‘RHOA’ Season 16 + Cynthia Bailey Will Appear As A Friend

The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 cast has officially been announced!

Following months of speculation, it’s been confirmed that veterans Porsha Williams, Kenya Moore, and Drew Sidora will return to the series along with a few new faces.

In a tweet uploaded to the official Bravo page, it was revealed that with the three staple cast members, longtime friend of the show Shamea Morton Mwangi will also be joining full-time, as well as newcomers Angela Oakley, Brittany Eady, and Kelli Ferrell. It was also noted that Cynthia Bailey, a previous full-time cast member, will appear in a friend role.

As we recently reported, sources shared that Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore began filming for the Bravo reality show recently, though the identities of the remaining cast members remained a mystery up until today (May 14). Fans have been eager to learn who will make up the rest of the cast seeing as though other staple members such as Kandi Burruss, Marlo Hampton, and Sanya Richards-Ross had already confirmed they would not be participating in the new season.

Word on whether or not season 1 vet Sheree Whitfield would be returning has been up in the air, though it is now confirmed that she too will not be a part of season 16. As far as the newcomers go, the new editions have extensive backgrounds in media and entertainment. Brittany Eady is an established author, businesswoman, and podcast host, while Kelli Ferrell is a known restauranter and Food Network alum and Angela Oakley is the wife of NBA great Charles Oakley.
