The entire cast went on the trip – which also included newcomers Claudia Jordan and Demetria McKinney. Judging by the photos the ladies have posted on instagram there is a serious cast fracture! Cynthia Bailey and NeNe are reportedly working on their friendship, but the photos show Cynthia hanging out with Kenya Moore and the newbies, while NeNe and Phaedra are buddying up!
Tamara Tattles has the latest tea on all the drama and it seems like it's NeNe vesus the newbies plus Kenya! The ladies allegedly embarked to Puerto Rico because singer Demetria has a concert there. Demetria is reportedly being groomed to replace NeNe next season, as NeNe has made it known that this is probably her last season. She’s hinted publicly on twitter and in interviews that the show has changed a lot since it began, the friendships are fake, and she is tried of dealing with the messiness. Bravo is supposedly using this season of RHOA to focus on NeNe’s life outside of Atlanta as a transition for her full-time spinoff I Dream Of NeNe which took a hiatus this season, but will return.
Now back to Puerto Rico, Claudia has been brought on for the express purpose of being Kenya’s bestie this season so Kenya could finally get a friend after ostracizing the rest of the cast. Marlo Hampton will not return to fill that spot. And of course since Kenya and NeNe are seriously at odds, Kenya needed backing which we all know Cynthia won’t provide!
Doing Kenya’s bidding, sources reveal that Claudia started major drama with NeNe on the trip and it escalated into a huge argument with Claudia being backed up by Demetria. The new girls are working over-time to secure their spots it seems by trying to take down the Queen Bee. NeNe complained about this in a recent interview.
NeNe is retaliating by being bossy, difficult to work with, and expecting the other Housewives to follow her command. As for the other ladies, they’re over all the drama and have decided to take a backseat to the vacation drama.
