Exclusive: ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ – Only Three Current Cast Members Expected To Return Next Season, Production Receives Death Threats + Fans Threatening To Boycott Over Shakeup
Are you ready to see a major shakeup in Atlanta?
theJasmineBrand exclusively reports that there’s a strong chance ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ will look a little different next season.
As you may already know, the popular reality series recently wrapped season 15 and is gearing up to air its reunion special. Despite the current season seemingly having a strong main cast – Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton, Sanya Richards-Ross, Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, and Shereé Whitfield – and bringing in OGs DeShawn Snow, Lisa Wu, and Kim Zolciak as guests, it seems viewers struggled to connect with the ‘RHOA’ ladies this year.
Reportedly, the 2023 run of the reality show received bad reviews from the public, with many watchers calling out the peach holders and producers for lackluster storylines and underwhelming drama. According to our sources, some of the critics have taken things a bit too far and even (allegedly) sent death threats to the series’ producers.
This week a report from LoveBScott claimed that production will replace the entire main cast of the series. Insiders close to the Bravo show have confirmed with theJasmineBRAND exclusively that viewers can expect to see new faces next season, however, some of the current Atlanta ladies will be returning as well. Producers will likely keep two to three current housewives & recast the remaining slots with new women. It’s speculated that Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, and possibly Shereé Whitfield will be offered contracts for season 16.
It’s also important to note that Bravo has addressed rumors that the network plans to change the entire cast and said,
“Nothing official has been decided.”
As far as the new peach holders go, sources tell us that viewers shouldn’t expect to see any well-known celebrities, and instead, production will use the opportunity to introduce new socialites to the world. Allegedly, this is because the series doesn’t have the budget to cover big-name Atlanta-based stars.
Fans are reportedly upset by the recent report that Bravo plans to wipe the entire ‘RHOA’ slate clean and may boycott if the network does so. One Twitter user wrote,
“We don’t need a cast reboot, we need a PRODUCTION reboot! Production destroyed this season! #RHOA”
Another added,
“Getting rid of the entire #RHOA cast feels like it would be an overcorrection and a misplacement of blame for what was objectively not a good season — the elements were there for a much better one.”
