Monica Garcia Raves About Bravo; Talks About Future on RHOSLC

Monica Garcia is opening up about her time on RHOSLC and her real feelings on the show and Bravo. And her answers might surprise you.

Monica Garcia put it all on the table during her debut season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Despite being raw and real throughout season 4, Monica kept one big secret hidden from her co-stars. So when her RHOSLC co-stars found out that she was one of the internet trolls behind the shady Reality Von Tease Instagram account, her budding reality TV career came crashing down all around her.

After learning the truth about Monica Garcia, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast made it clear that they didn’t want to film with her again; the 40-year-old only has good things to say about her rookie season on Bravo.

On the February 13 episode of Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp’s podcast, Two Ts In A Pod, Monica Garcia spilled the tea on her dramatic exit from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after a tumultuous and wild ride.

When asked if she’d be open to returning, Monica didn’t hesitate in admitting her eagerness to return to RHOSLC one day.

“Obviously, I would. I kind of feel like anyone that’s like, ‘No, I’m not coming back’ is lying.” Classic reality TV star speak for “I miss the drama,” Monica said.

However, Monica notes that now isn’t the time for her to return to the fold, noting that she would need to have an ally or two on the show.

Monica’s relationships with the other Salt Lake City Housewives came crumbling down after Heather Gay blew the whistle on her shady social media shenanigans.

The 40-year-old explained, “I don’t think I could go back in this — like I would have to be friends with someone. I don’t think I could go back in this situation. I mean, I would.”

According to Monica, up until the season 4 finale, she has amazing time filming the show.

“I had a wonderful experience filming. Bravo is amazing. Production was great,” she waxed nostalgic.

She also claims that co-stars Whitney Rose and Meredith Marks didn’t get the memo to snub her like the rest of the Salt Lake City Housewives.

“They were very kind to me. They were very good to me during filming,” she said.

RHOSLC producers have teased the Monica could return to the show after a “cooling off” period so her time on Bravo may not be over for good.

I have a funny feeling that Monica’s reality TV career is just beginning.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City will return for season 5 in late 2024.

Ariana Madix Responds To Claims She’s a Diva and Has a Big Ego

Ariana Madix responds to claims she’s a diva with an overly inflated ego as Tom Schwartz reveals why he blew up at Ariana.

On Tuesday’s all-new episode of Vanderpump Rules, Tom Schwartz claimed that Ariana Madix’s inflated “ego” was preventing their friendship group from healing and mending fences with Tom Sandoval.

During a night out at SUR, Schwartz attempted to bring the group back together by suggesting they all – including Tom Sandoval -head to Lake Tahoe for a mini vacation.

The Schwartz and Sandy’s co-owner said he thinks the trip could be good for the group despite the “complicated situation.” 

However, Ariana Madix has no interest in going on a trip with her ex, while Lala Kent warned Schwartz that Sandoval “will devastate you.”

As Schwartz continued to try to encourage the group to forgive Sandoval and start fresh, Ariana Madix reminded him that Sandoval is the one who “destroyed” their friend group with his cheating and lies.

“This isn’t gonna be a situation where you’ve bridge some sort of gap, and he comes, like, back into the fold. I gave up on you a long time ago, And my life is better for it,” Ariana told Schwartz.

Ultimately Schwartz grew frustrated with Ariana so much so that he quipped:

“Don’t speak on behalf of the entire group. You’re not the queen of the group, come on. Your ego is getting a little big, come on.”

In her confessional, Ariana fired back, saying that Schwartz was “clearly confusing strength and boundaries with ego.”

The topic of Ariana Madix’s ego and Schwartz’s outburst were the hot topic on the Vanderpump Rules After Show.

According to Schwartz, he blew up at Ariana after she started “belittling” him and “going in” on him.

Schwartz claims that it was “one of [Ariana’s] lower moments,” noting that he felt the need to “ego check her.”

“First of all, you’re not my queen. I was annoyed that she’s, you know, took it upon herself to speak on behalf of the other girls who haven’t I hadn’t even really addressed it with yet. You know, I became synonymous with the affair or whatever. I was a culprit,” Schwartz explains. ”It’s ridiculous. And all the rage she had pent up with Tom, she took out on me in that moment which I still think is absurd. Also like when people start yelling at me, my mind just shuts down. So I don’t remember exactly how it played out, you know.” 

As for Ariana, she made it clear that she doesn’t believe she is the queen of the group but it perfectly find with setting necessary boundaries.   

“Him saying like that is exactly why I’m not friends with him. And if anyone’s gonna be able to speak to who I am as a person, it’s not someone that I haven’t spoken to since we were filming the reunion in mid March. So, that right there is the type of that just proves me right. And, like, no I’m not queen of anything, But I will do what I wanna do, which is not going this dumb trip,” Ariana Madix shared.

When it comes to claims that she’s a diva with an inflated ego due her post-Scandoval success while includes  but is not limited to ads, magazine articles, Dancing With the Stars, Ariana notes she sees it as nothing more than working hard.

“Um, I don’t understand how working jobs translates to my ego or my personality, like, at all. Like, getting up and going to work, don’t those people get up and go to work? I don’t know what that means. I don’t think I’m like any cooler than I was before all this,” she admitted.

Tamra Judge falls off of bar while wildly dancing as RHOC cameras roll for season 18. See footage of the OC Housewife wiping out!

It’s no secret that Tamra Judge loves to get wild and crazy when filming the Real Housewives of Orange County. Over the years Tamra Judge has flashed her boobs, went topless, and got wasted on the show more times than I count.

So, it’s not surprising to hear that over the weekend Tamra Judge took things a bit too far while filming for season 18 of RHOC.

According to TMZ, Tamra Judge was caught on film wiping out after letting her hair down during a night out in Orange County.

The OC Housewife was filming at The Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California when she hopped up on the bar to get her groove on. However, in the middle of shaking her groove thing, Tamra slipped and fell off the bar – with the RHOC cameras catching it all on film!

It took Tamra a few seconds to recover but she eventually laughed off the incident and in the blink of an eye she hopped up on the bar and started dancing again.

Tamra then squatted down and gyrated against an unidentified woman who was also on top of the bar before standing back up to continue her dancing.

Her on-again, off-again BFF Vicki Gunvalson reportedly was present for the incident but walked away when Tamra fell down off the bar.

The RHOC cast is currently in the midst of filming for season 18 which began production in mid-January.

Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Jennifer Pedranti are all reportedly returning for season 18 of RHOC.

Heather Tuck, an OC real estate agent, and Katie Ginella are rumored to be being joining the cast as new Housewives. Alexis Bellino is expected to round out the cast as a friend of the Housewives.

While it’s unclear if Vicki Gunvalson will have any official role on the show for season 18, it’s not surprising that she’s filming considering her and Shannon Beador‘s current beef with Tamra Judge.

Heather Tuck, Katie Ginella, Alexis Bellino, and Vicki Gunvalson are all filming for season 18 of RHOC.

RHOM star Julia Lemigova Says Larsa Pippen's Jealousy Caused Split From Marcus Jordan

RHOM: Julia Lemigova Says Her Opinion on Marcus Jordan Changed After He Made a ‘Horrible’ Comment At S6 Reunion

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHOM star Julia Lemigova is shedding more insight on the possible catalyst for Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s recent relationship issues.

The 51-year-old previously said that she believes Larsa’s jealous streak may have played a part in Marcus and Larsa’s problems.

“Relationships are a hard thing. And we all know Larsa is very jealous,” Julia Lemigova said on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.

The former model noted that she has experienced Larsa’s jealous side.

Now, the RHOM star says she saw a different side of Marcus at the season 6 reunion, which changed her opinion on the 33-year-old.

Larsa Pippen, Julia Lemigova, and Adriana De Moura argue on RHOM.

This week, RHOM’s Julia Lemigova appeared on Dorinda Medley’s SiriusXM show, Reality Checked.

During the interview, Dorinda Medley asked Julia about her experience at the season 6 reunion, which is when Julia teased a moment that left her questioning Marcus and seeing him in a completely different light – and not a good one.

The Real Housewives of New York alum brings up the season 6 reunion and mentions that when the reunion was filmed, Larsa and Marcus before their relationship problems became public knowledge.

“And Marcus and Larsa were together at the reunion. So you didn’t have any of this information, but Julia, you were saying something interesting to me,” Dorinda noted.

The RHOM star explained:

“You know, sometimes we hear things, and when it happens, we don’t pay much attention. But then when I saw the news two days ago about the breakup, I started rethinking Marcus, who seems, you know, first impression as a very kind, gentle man, and that’s what I thought of him up until actually now, because I remembered some things I’ve heard he said on the reunion and few people actually heard it, which was absolutely horrible, you know? “

Dorinda then pressed for more, asking, “Horrible to her or horrible to you, or just horrible in general?”

“In general,” Julia replied before elaborating.

“It’s something that stuck with me, and I don’t look at him the same way anymore because he actually said it, and it made me rethink who he is as a person. So it’s not, I don’t think of him anymore as this gentle kind man. So, who knows how he was in his private life with Larsa? Of course, I’m not speculating now, but they seemed to be so in love. But again, we don’t know what happened behind closed doors,” she teased.

It’s unclear what Julia is alluding to, but while chatting with Page Six, she wondered if Marcus cheated or if Larsa found a photo of another woman on his phone.

As you may recall, Larsa allegedly became irate after Julia asked Marcus to snap photos of her with his phone during BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas last November.

 “I mean, how jealous she got when she saw my picture on Marcus’ phone? Oh my God, and it was like the most innocent thing,” Julia recalled to Page Six. “And it created a wave, so who knows? Maybe she’s seen a picture of somebody else?”

While Julia clarifies that she is “just speculating,” she admits that she doesn’t know what else could have contributed to Larsa and Marcus’ relationship issues after only one year of dating.

On Valentine’s Day, TMZ nabbed photos of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan out and about in Miami. The two were spotted out at Trias Flowers & Gifts in Miami on Wednesday and then were seen heading back to Larsa’s Miami condo.

This is all quite confusing as multiple outlets have claimed that the two had split, but it seems that perhaps they are just on a break as they figure things out in their relationship.

The two have also re-followed each other on Instagram.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story.

RHOBH Recap: Kyle Richards Reveals the Surprising Reason Why She Would Leave Her Marriage

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky get candid about their marriage woes while the RHOBH OG reveals why she may leave a marriage that no longer makes her happy.

On Wednesday’s episode of RHOBH, Kyle Richards admitted that she and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, have been going to therapy after facing a difficult year in their marriage.

While opening up to friend and co-star Sutton Stracke about her marriage, Kyle revealed that her and Mauricio’s busy schedules “created so much time apart” from each other.

Despite the space and tension the time a part has caused in their marriage, Kyle notes that Mauricio refused to say no to his work.

Sutton suggested that the RHOBH couple agree to “turn down” opportunities that would keep them a part from each other.

Kyle replied “I don’t have to,” before elaborating on why she doesn’t want to be the only one compromising anymore.

“I’ve made sacrifices and compromises,” the actress explained in her confessional. “I’ve been a really good wife and a great mom and I’ve supported him through everything, I want to feel that Mo is prioritizing me as much as I have him all of these years.”

The RHOBH OG explained how she’s always been the one responsible for taking their kids to all their appointments and activities so that Mauricio could focus on growing his real estate empire, The Agency.

“So now I have the freedom to be able to do some things for me, and I like it,” Kyle told Sutton, noting that now she is finally able to focus on her passions. “I don’t want to not do them because one day, my kids will be all gone from the house and then what am I going to have? I don’t want to be where my husband is up here and I’m down here.”

“I want to have my life too. It just feels good to be independent,” she added.

Later on in the episode, Kyle and Mauricio had a candid discussion about their marriage and the decision to attend couple’s counseling.

Kyle admits that going to counseling together has been  a “great comfort.”  Shen the tells the cameras:

“I thought it was important to go to couple’s therapy because the more difficult things get between us, the more difficult it has been to communicate.”

Mauricio agreed before calling therapy “fun” which rubbed Kyle the wrong way. “I wasn’t laughing in those sessions,” the Bravoleb quipped.

The real estate mogul says that going to therapy has allowed him to be more “more in tune with myself.” Kyle points out that she hopes therapy is also allowing Mauricio to “reflect.”

“All I’m saying is that this is helping us. I think we’re in a way better place,” Mauricio continued. “We’ve been married for 27 years. We’ve never had so much going on in our lives. I think it’s become hard. Right? It’s become really hard.”

As the conversation continued, Kyle confessed that she never wanted to be a Housewife who just spent her days at home or shopping while Mauricio was off building an empire.

Mauricio acknowledged Kyle’s concerns and noted that he’d never want to see his wife be unfulfilled.

“You know, we’re both growing. We’re both changing. We’re about to be empty nesters. We’ve hit our 50s,” he pointed out.

Kyle interrupted, “But we’re not empty nesters yet. You keep saying that” with the RHOBH noting that she wants to focus on their problems “today” while Mauricio is all about looking towards the future.

“I sometimes just get frustrated that I don’t feel like I’m being heard,” she confessed to the cameras. “I’m not going to stay in a situation that I’m not happy in. Things I wouldn’t want my daughters to accept, I’m not going to accept myself.”

The scene ends with Mauricio and Kyle holding hands as The Agency founder points out that he and Kyle have throughout their marriage trouble they have never stopped loving each other.

Erika Jayne wears all black sequin look in RHOBH confessional
Erika GirardiThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - RHOBH

The Truth About How Erika Jayne Escaped Marriage to Tom Girardi

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Details about how Erika Jayne was able to leave her nearly 30-year marriage to Tom Girardi are finally coming to light thanks to The Housewife and the Hustler Part 2.

In part two of Hulu’s investigative documentary, Erika Jayne’s lawyer, Evan Borges, appeared alongside her good friend, Jim Wilkes.

Before we spill the tea, Jim Wilkes may look familiar to RHOBH fans as he was linked to Erika Jayne in 2023.

Erika Jayne and the 72-year-old Tampa Bay attorney first sparked dating rumors in June after they were photographed strolling through Caesars Palace in Las Vegas together.

A rep for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star later told AllAboutTRH that Jim Wilkes is Erika Jayne’s “lawyer and family friend of over 20 years” and nothing more.

Okay, back to the tea!

On The Housewife and the Hustler 2: The Reckoning, Evan Borges and Jim Wilkes got candid about how Erika Jayne was able to walk away from her marriage to Tom Girardi and their luxurious lifestyle with practically nothing.

“In summer 2021, you and Erica were referred to our firm,” Borges explains. “I had some very basic questions for her. ‘Why did you call for divorce just a month or so before the bankruptcy cases? And what did you know?’ Her answer to me is privilege, but I would describe it as escalating pressure [and] lawsuits. My strong suspicion is that Tom Girardi consistently lied to this poor woman, and she had no idea. She had no visibility into finances.”

“I heard he forbade her wearing blue jeans. That’s called either a control freak or an asshole, however you wanna put it,” he added.

According to Borges, Jim Wilkes provided Erika with $150,000 to obtain a lawyer. He also opened up a bank account for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and paid for the deposit on her rental home.

“She left that marriage. The only reason Erika was really able to do that was because of help from a longtime friend she had, meaning you. I think you gave her $150,000 to pay for a lawyer and to move out,” Borges reveals to the cameras alongside Wilkes.

Since 2020, Wilkes has subsidized Erika’s lifestyle and has given her a “significant amount of money” to help live and pay her legal bills.

“Jim opened up a bank account with her and provided her with, over time, a significant amount of money to pay for lawyers, to make a down payment on a rental. I mean, if she didn’t have the help of a friend who had a lot of money, she was lost. I mean, it was it was bad,” Borges notes before asking Wilkes, “How much have you spent on this?”

Wilkes replies, “I have no idea, a couple of million,” but reveals it has cost him this legal practice. However, he notes that he can’t “concede.”

Wilkes goes on to explain that he is a longtime friend of Tom Girardi and spent a lot of time with Erika and Tom throughout their marriage.

He notes that Tom Girardi changed significantly around 2019.

“I’ve known Tom since about 2000. Erika Tom and I would spend time together hanging out. We probably did 4, 5, or 6 trips with. Tom knew a lot of fun people,” he details.

“Around 2019, Tom changed. Tom came very angry. You could tell you there was a little hustle in him, but he was always cordial. And he stopped being cordial. That scared me,” Wilkes continued.

He concluded:

“Erika has been the victim of a great injustice. Her crime was having a husband who wasn’t trustworthy that she stayed with for twenty years.”

Ally Lewber Denies James Kennedy Abuse Allegations

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Vanderpump Rules’ Ally Lewber is setting the record straight amid rumors that her boyfriend, James Kennedy, has been physically abusive toward her throughout their relationship.

On the Friday, February 9 episode of Scheana Shay’s Scheananigans podcast, the Vanderpump Rules OG brought up the rumors that James Kennedy has been abusive towards girlfriend, Ally Lewber.

Scheana recalled Teddi Mellencamp‘s comments from a December 2023 episode of the Two Ts in a Pod podcast, where she and co-host Tamra Judge discuss sharing a car with James and Ally after the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

“I think it was two years ago now [after the MTV Movie & TV Awards]. And she said that they were heading to an after party at TomTom. And during that car ride there was an altercation between two people in the car, which made her and Teddi have to get out of the car,” Scheana explained. “They had to separate the two individuals in the car. And [they] further suggested that James was involved, and now there’s rumors flying around that Teddi might have hinted at an altercation between you and James.”

Ally Lewber immediately shut down the insinuations about her fight with boyfriend, James Kennedy.

“That’s crazy to me that that’s the most asked question [for me]. That makes me really sad, because no, I’m good. That never happened. There was no physical altercation,” the 28-year-old told Scheana. “Yes, we were in the car together. I thought we were having fun. We were having fun. But then James and I did get into an argument, but there was no physical assault. I was not bleeding, and they didn’t have to get out of the car and separate us. So that didn’t happen. That’s all I’ll say on that.”

The 28-year-old aspiring singer maintains that James has never “physically hurt” her or “assaulted” her during their two year relationship.

“We’re good. We’re happy. He’s working on himself. I know in the past that he has anger issues. So I get it,” she insists. “But I just want people to know that I’m good and I’m safe and I love him.”

Scheana then asked whether or not James Kennedy was drinking during their 2022 disagreement after the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

“He was still drinking. Yeah, we were all drunk in the back of that car. Yeah, that’s true,’” Ally explained. “But nothing happened physically. I mean, we went to TomTom. We showed up at TomTom and we had fun. It was, like, a good night. I don’t think that that was, like, the moment or, like, the night when we were like, ‘OK, drinking is not great.’”

She added: “We would fight when we would drink. I would drink and pick [fights]. When you drink that much and in those environments, it is not great. That’s not who we really are. That’s an example of why he shouldn’t drink.”

The Good As Gold singer then brought up the fact that both of James’ ex-girlfriends, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss and Kristen Doute have hinted that James may have been physically abusive towards them during their relationships.

James Kennedy and his ex-girlfriend’s Kristen Doute and Raquel Leviss.

James and Raquel dated from 2016 to 2021 while Kristen and James were an on-again, off-again couple from 2014-2016.

While appearing on Bethenny Frankel’s ReWives podcast, in August 2023, Raquel Leviss alleged that James Kennedy was abusive towards her during their six-year relationship. She also claimed that James was also abusive towards his ex-girlfriend Kristen Doute.

“Kristen was just starting to talk about her tumultuous relationship with James Kennedy and what happened behind closed doors. Then all of a sudden she’s presented with this spinoff,” Raquel, 28 alleged. “I believe [it] is a way to silence her — to keep that under wraps — so that the longevity of Vanderpump Rules can continue.”

“I’ve seen him be a violent person so I have no doubt that what she’s saying is true. I hope that one day it will come to light and there will be justice,” Raquel added. “It is interesting because the cast members that were fired and canceled at that time, now have this big comeback because this scandal is so salacious that we are the ultimate villains — Tom [Sandoval] and I — and now they have a platform to redeem themselves.”

Bravo has denied Raquel’s claims

Meanwhile, Scheana noted on her podcast that she “just wanted to give” Ally “a safe space” to address the allegations and share anything that was on her mind.

“Thank you. Because I didn’t know,” the 28-year-old replied. “I’m like, do I go on my Instagram to say, ‘I’m good, guys?’ Like, I don’t know how to navigate these types of things. And this is something that’s very serious. And I do appreciate everyone worried about me. But I do want everyone to know I’m good.”

Despite Ally denying allegations James was abusive towards her, the fodder around James’ alleged abusive behavior continues to be a hot topic online.

Most recently, Bethenny Frankel accused Bravo of protecting James amid the allegations in order to protect the network and the success of Vanderpump Rules.

RHOM's Julia Lemigova Says Larsa Pippen's Jealousy Caused Split From Marcus Jordan

REPORT: Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan Relationship Issues Over Him Wanting Children Plus the Two Spotted Together on Valentine’s Day

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan were spotted together on Valentine’s Day amid a new report which claims they split over Marcus’ desire to have children.

On Valentine’s Day, TMZ nabbed photos of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan out and about in Miami. The two were spotted out at Trias Flowers & Gifts in Miami on Wednesday and then were seen heading back to Larsa’s Miami condo.

This is all quite confusing as multiple outlets have claimed that the two had split, but it seems that perhaps they are just on a break as they figure things out in their relationship.

The two have also re-followed each other on Instagram.

Now, let’s dive into what may have caused Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan to hit a rough patch in their relationship.

A source tells DailyMail.com that the Real Housewives of Miami couple’s 16-year-age gap was a “major factor” in their relationship issues.

While the now exes have yet to confirm their breakup publicly, insiders claim their differing opinions on starting a family caused major tensions in their yearlong romance. Their relationship ultimately fell apart at the seams after they failed to align their visions for the future.

“They were in love with each other, but once the honeymoon phase ended, they started to realize their priorities differed,” an insider revealed. “Their age difference played a major factor in the split, and on top of the fact that Marcus wants to have kids while she wants to be more of a celebrity.”

“They both had different ideas of what their family was going to be like, and that built lots of stress. They are just on different roads, but they are both to blame for not being together – even though they are blaming each other for the demise.”

As for whether or not there’s a chance that Larsa and Marcus may reconcile completely, the source notes: “Absolutely – but right now, it is very touch and go, and they don’t see eye to eye about much. They need to get back to where they originally started with each other and then it could work, this could be a good test to be away.”

The news of Larsa and Marcus’ relationship issues comes as a surprise to Bravo fans, as just last month, the two were hinting at getting engaged while appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

On a January episode of WWHL, the RHOM couple recently revealed that Marcus did give Larsa a “promise ring” and that they have been “shopping” around for engagement rings.

“We’ve been shopping. You know, we’ve been ruling out certain stones and are moving in that direction, obviously. It’s in the works,” Marcus told Andy Cohen.

Meanwhile, that same month, Larsa also told Us Weekly that she’s keeping an open mind about possibly welcoming a baby with Marcus in the future.

“I’m really happy with my four kids, but I feel like it wouldn’t be fair for me to not give Marcus that opportunity if we wanted to have kids [together],” the RHOM star admitted on January 11. “So, I do have a little insurance policy in a freezer in L.A., just in case.”

Marcus and Larsa began dating in 2022 after meeting at a Los Angeles party in 2019 and becoming close friends.

Phaedra Parks may be making her return to RHOA following Kandi Burruss’ recent exit and Bravo’s plans to revamp the franchise for season 16.

A very familiar face may be returning to the fold for season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Phaedra Parks is addressing rumors that she could be reclaiming her peach and returning to RHOA for season 16.

The Bravoleb spoke with GQ to discuss the possibility of her joining Bravo’s revamp of RHOA.

Phaedra said:

“That’s the discussion that’s on the table right now. Obviously what has to happen is something to rejuvenate the cast. We saw with New York, people are loving that. And we’ve seen it with Miami going on haitus and coming back. I think Atlanta has the chance to rebuild the stellar reputation it had when I was a part of it. Because it was the Titanic and it sunk. Pull them back up. Never say never. There’s been some discussions about me returning. We’ll see.”

Phaedra joined the RHOA cast during season 3 in 2010. She starred on RHOA for 7 seasons before exiting the franchise following season 9 in 2017. The attorney and Atlanta businesswomen left RHOA on bad terms after insinuating that co-star Kandi Burruss allegedly tried to date rape co-star Porsha Williams during a night of partying. The claim was completely false and soured Phaedra’s relationships with both Kandi and Porsha.

Since exiting RHOA Phaedra has appeared on numerous Bravo shows including Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Phaedra starred on seasons 2 and 4 of RHUGT. She also appeared on season one of the Real Housewives of Dubai. In 2023, Phaedra joined the season 10 cast of Married to Medicine. The 50-year-old also starred on season 2 of Peacock’s The Traitors.

This statement comes a week after Andy Cohen opened up about Kandi Burruss’ exit from RHOA after 14 seasons while also teasing the future of the Atlanta Housewives franchise.

On the Tuesday, February 6 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, host Andy Cohen discussed the future of the Real Housewives of Atlanta following Kandi Burruss’ exit.

“I talked a lot about Kandi yesterday and I think Kandi’s leaving “Housewives of Atlanta” is now having everyone saying, “Well, what is happening with ‘Housewives of Atlanta?’ Why aren’t we getting an update? What’s going on?” and so, and I didn’t want to talk about it,” Andy said.

While Andy’s co-hosts were dying to know if any former Real Housewives of Atlanta stars were returning to the fold for season 16, the Real Housewives executive producer wasn’t naming names at this point in time.

“Well, I do want to say I’m not announcing anything, but we are on it and the casting is superb and it’s funny because I saw casting last week and last week I was thinking, ‘Okay, this is gonna be great. We have a sense,’” Andy explained.

He continued, “And by the way, now that we know Kandi is leaving, that also allows us to put other puzzle pieces together and figure out, ‘Okay, well, you know, where do we go here?’ and she’s a big loss, but I think, you know, it allows us to figure out the future and I guess this is me just saying I’m very excited about the casting that we have. Very.”

Rumors have been swirling that Kenya Moore will be returning for season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Sources also claim that because of Kandi’s exit from the Atlanta Housewives franchise, “the door could be open” for Phaedra Parks‘ return to the show for season 16.

However, Radar Online reports that “No one has signed a contract for Season 16” and “no one is locked in” for Season 16, with an insider noting that contracts have been sent out but have not been signed, sealed, or delivered yet.

On Tuesday, February 13, Bravo announced that Porsha Williams would be returning for season 16.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expected to return for season 16 in 2024.

Real Housewives of Miami star Julia Lemigova is calling Larsa Pippen “very jealous” after her shocking split with Marcus Jordan.

When news broke out that Larsa and Marcus had broken up, Julia gave her opinion on the break up to Reali-Tea podcast saying, “Relationships are a hard thing. And we all know Larsa is very jealous. I hope, if it’s true, she’s not too heartbroken because — even though we have our differences — if the breakup is true I feel really, really bad for her because she was really in love.”

Julia even spoke about how she witnessed Larsa’s jealousy at Bravocon last year when Julia innocently asked Marcus Jordan to take a photo of her.

Julia Lemigova said, “I mean, how jealous she got when she saw my picture on Marcus’ phone? Oh my God, and it was like the most innocent thing. And it created a wave, so who knows? Maybe she’s seen a picture of somebody else?”

Julia did admit that she was shocked over the break up propping out Marcus for being a “nice, gentle guy.”

During Superbowl, Larsa made it apparent she and Marcus were done after removing all photos of the pair on her Instagram and unfollowing him. It was confirmed a few days later that they officially split.

Larsa deletes all photos of Marcus from her Instagram.

She also shared a cryptic quote to her Instagram Story. The quote read: “The man you choose to be your partner affects everything in your life. Your mental health, your peace of mind, your love inside you, your happiness, how you get through tragedies, your successes, how your children will be raised, and so much more. Choose wisely.”

Do you think Julia is onto something?
