I hate to pull the race card… but it’s no secret that Kim was the token White chick on the cast of RHOA. Oh… and she begged her former “assistant” Sweetie Hughes to return since the other Atlanta housewives weren’t willing to tape with her any longer. Since Zolciak wouldn’t leave her house to tape with the ladies, Bravo sent the camera crew to her. What happened next was that instead of Kim getting the boot (which she really deserved) Bravo gave her a spin-off show. Being that Phaedra Parks taped constantly back when first joined the cast (when she was pregnant with Ayden) it seemed that Kim was being given special treatment and the woman protested. While she often used her pregnancy as an excuse, the ladies weren’t buying it.Ĭontrary to popular belief, being a member of the cast of RHOA is a job and the ladies all depend on each other to show up for work. I told y’all a while back that the ladies all refused to tape over the Summer when Kim was a constant no show for tapings and events. It seems as though they’ll replace Kim Zolciak’s intro once she’s gone since most of us have asked, believed… and will hopefully receive ?our wishes. Kenya Moore – I won Miss USA NOT Miss Congeniality?Īgain… Porsha Stewart is definitely a cast member but she hasn’t been introduced yet, so her tag line/intro isn’t in the opening yet. Kim Zolciak – I ask, believe and I receive? Kandi Burruss – I may be small but my empire keeps on growing?Ĭynthia Bailey – B eauty fades… class is forever?
Nene Leakes – I have arrived and the spotlight is on me honey! You read it hear first when the RHOA search finally ended with Atlanta civil right’s leader Hosea William‘s granddaughter, Porsha Williams-Stewart, wife of former NFL player Cordell Stewart.Īnd if you’ve never heard of Hosea Williams… click HERE to learn more about him and his historic ties to Atlanta.Įveryone has a new tag line this season and they all are pretty fitting:
My sources confirmed that Porche was part of the cast for months, taping with several of the current members, but once Nene got her role on “The New Normal,” it seems that Porche (an established actress) was one actress too many on the cast of characters and she was promptly dismissed. Talls” storyline, they had recruited a new shortie by the name of Nicole Porche (click HERE if you missed that). In fact, there was another “housewife” recruited who didn’t make the cut.īefore Bravo decided to ditch that stupid “Smalls vs. Newbie number 2, Porsha Williams-Stewart, wasn’t a part of the cast when filming first started this past Summer. She promptly shows her “A”zz during a model call at Cynthia Bailey‘s The Bailey Agency.Ĭoining a new catchphrase “ Coochie-Crack!” Kenya seems planted merely for the drama and she does NOT disappoint.
There is no Moore connection to any of the other “housewives”… at least not one that was revealed during this first episode.ĭetails, recap + full video of RHOA season 5, episode 1 below… [Sidebar: What I found odd during Kenya Moore‘s introduction is that there was ummm… no dayum introduction! Moore simply appeared on the scene lunching with “Miss” Lawrence (who has conveniently forgotten his booted bff Sheree Whitfield). The world got to meet at least ONE of the new “housewives” without a husband…
Singer/Songwriter/Entrepreneur Kandi Burruss & her boo Todd finally revealed their relationship to the RHOA world. That whole “we’re reconciling” act makes me wanna gag, but I digress! The premiere episode of the 5th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired last night and the initial segment was full of lies, fairytale and fallacies cause we all know dayum well that Nene and Gregg NEVER broke up!
