New RHOA Season 12 Casting Rumors Emerge — Find Out Who’s In And Who’s Out!

New casting rumors have emerged about the the upcoming twelfth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We are breaking the latest tea down surrounding the Bravo hit reality series. So find out who's in, who's out, who almost made it back, and who returned with a pay cut.

As previously reported, Porsha Williams’ recent drama with her baby daddy and money issues are expected to be part of her storyline on the upcoming season of RHOA, but an insider claim that her job might actually be in jeopardy over the situation.

“Porsha’s job could be in jeopardy this season if she doesn’t deliver authentic stories,” the insider told Radar Online. “She can’t act like Kenya and hide things from the show. If she does, she could lose her status as a full time housewife, which would cost her a lot of money.” The outlet claims that Williams earned a pay raise, making $1.3 million for the upcoming season.

Williams was hit with a $240,000 tax lien in March 2019 that was “released” as of May.

NeNe Leakes have been vocal about wanting Phaedra Parks back on the show, while Kandi Burruss has made it clear that she will leave the show if Bravo brings Parks back. So will Phaedra return for Season 12?

“Phaedra isn’t coming back to the show,” the source snitched to Radar. “She had no storyline. If [ex-husband] Apollo [Nida] had gotten out of prison this year it might have worked, but he isn't.”

Earlier this week, Nida was released from prison and was moved to a halfway house to complete the remainder of his time.

Parks was fired from the show after it was revealed during the show's ninth season that she was responsible for spreading rumors that Kandi and her husband Todd Tucker wanted to drug and sexually assault Porsha.

“Kandi is a professional. She would film with anyone, but she did not want to film with Phaedra,” the insider explained.

NeNe ended most of her friendships with her co-stars on the show's Season 11 reunion taping with the exception of Marlo Hampton and Shamari DeVoe. While Parks is allegedly not returning, NeNe reportedly wants Bravo to bring Sheree Whitfield back on the show.

“NeNe really wants Sheree back, she is one of her only friends,” the insider told Radar. Sheree was “ready to go,” the insider said. “She would love to be back on the show and would do whatever she could to stir up drama.”

One person who will in fact be returning is Kenya Moore. The outlet claims that she took a $1 million pay cut to return to the series for just $500,000 next year.

“Kenya has to really show up this season,” the source told Radar. “She hopefully learned her lesson from before when she got fired, but there are no guarantees as to how much screen time she will get.”

As previously reported, Cynthia Bailey, Eva Marcille, Kandi Burruss, NeNe Leakes, and Porsha Williams are returning to the show. Shamari DeVoe reportedly has been demoted to a "friend,"

Meanwhile, Marlo Hampton and Tanya Sam are also set to return to the show. However, it still not confirmed if they both will be returning as full-time cast members or a "friend."
