Cynthia Bailey Reveals What It’s Been Like Filming ‘RHOA’ With New Cast Members Drew Sidora And LaToya Ali For Season 13!

Cynthia Bailey is spilling the tea about the upcoming thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and reveals that everything is “so far so good” with the new cast members, Drew Sidora and LaToya Ali, who’ve joined the show.

“So far, I’m liking the fresh meat,” she told Us Weekly. “But it’s still early in the game. So we’ll see, we’ll see. It’s always interesting what happens by the time we get to the end. So I think it’s good that we brought some other ladies in. I’ll always love the ladies that are here.”

Bailey shared that she “did not” know Ali prior to filming, but she briefly met Sidora a while ago. However, she believes that both newcomers “bring different things” to the table.

“I don’t really know what the age difference is, but LaToya seems to be a little younger. So she’s a little firecracker,” Bailey explained. “She’s one of those people that says any and everything, but she’s a lot of fun. She can probably be in trouble at the reunion because she says everything. She [is] gonna have some explaining. But I love her spirit. I love her energy.”

Bailey then shared what she “loves” about Sidora, adding, “She’s in a marriage, she has kids. She’s been in the industry a long time as an actress. She’s actually done a lot of work with my baby’s daddy, Leon [Robinson]. Like, she’s played his love interest quite a few times.”

Bailey pointed out how “fun” it has been shooting with the entire RHOA cast. “The one thing about being in a pandemic, even if you have drama with some of the other ladies, you actually still miss them now because you just miss anybody,” she explained. “You just miss people. [You’re] just not really around people that much except, you know, your family. So, I’ve enjoyed catching up with the ladies.”

In July, it was reported that actress Drew Sidora and Canadian YouTuber LaToya Ali were joining the Bravo hit reality series for the show’s upcoming thirteenth season.
