According to a new report, The Real Housewives of Atlanta is set for a huge cast shake-up for the show's upcoming fourteenth season.
Ratings showed the premiere episode of Season 13 only pulled in 1.4 million viewers, which was a drastic drop from the previous season's first episode.
“RHOA was once Bravo’s highest-rated housewives show but has lost its superiority over other shows in the franchise,” the source told The Sun. “There’s going to be a big cast shake-up next season and some producers are mulling over asking Phaedra Parks to return.”
“Many insiders believe NeNe would help drive ratings, but her feud with producers seems to show no signs of letting up,” the source continued. “Fans were shocked when she left and there has been a question mark over whether she'll ever return, and it looks unlikely.”
The source added, “The hope is that having fan favorites like Phaedra come back will help the show rise back into the 2 million viewers-a-week arena.”
NeNe Leakes has encouraged viewers to boycott Bravo after she was let go from the Bravo hit reality series amid her messy feud with Andy Cohen.
Parks joined RHOA back during the show's third season and was let go after filming of the Season 9 reunion taping. If you recall, it was revealed during the season 9 reunion that Parks was the one who told Porsha Williams about Kandi and husband Todd Tucker’s alleged plan to drug Porsha and have sex with her. An allegation that Burruss has denied, which resulted in Parks getting fired from the show.
The current RHOA cast consists of Cynthia Bailey, Drew Sidora, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Porsha Williams along with ‘friends’ LaToya Ali, Marlo Hampton, and Shamea Morton.
