“Cynthia has no plans of walking away from RHOA,” a source told HollywoodLife.
For now, Cynthia “is spending a lot more time in LA during the quarantine with her family,” the source adds. This is only a temporary situation, though. She “plans to return back to Atlanta to start planning her wedding [with fiancé Mike Hill] as soon as it is safe to do so,” the insider continues. “Cynthia’s focus at this time is family and staying productive and healthy during these very uncertain times.”
The source added, “Everything is still being figured out for the next season.”
A few days ago, Cynthia denied allegations that she was let go from RHOA and that she was offered a reduced role for Season 13.
“I have no plans to leave RHOA at this time,” Cynthia told The Shade Room. “Every year there are rumors saying that I am getting fired, or not returning. I’ve been a peach holder consistently for 10 years now. I love my cast, and my Bravo family. I am looking forward to next season.” Furthermore, Cynthia assured the rumors of her termination were “completely false” and pointed out, “We just recently filmed the reunion, and have not started contract negotiations yet.”
Meanwhile, other sources claim that former cast member Phaedra Parks is in talks to return to the show.
“Phaedra is in talks to come back to the show,” an insider told The Sun. “RHOA is still the highest-rated Housewives series, but producers feel it hasn’t been as interesting so they want Phaedra to return.”
The insider added Kandi Burruss “isn’t happy” over the potential new addition.
