http://news.lalate.com/2015/05/18/nene-leakes-rhoa-cast-changes-sheree-rejoining-the-cast-exclusive/LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – NeNe Leakes, RHOA cast changes, the future of Sheree Whitfield, and the impact of Teresa Giudice are now impacting programming decisions at Bravo, LALATE can report. NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore are returning for RHOA 8, LALATE first exclusively reported several weeks ago. But now, one cast member is set to join the show, and Teresa Guidice’s prison sentence is impacting RHOA as well, LALATE can further exclusively report.
NeNe Leakes, Kenya and Kandi are confirmed for RHOA 8, LALATE recently reported. But who is getting fired on RHOA, and who is getting hired? A source tells LALATE that, after RHOA 6’s Reunion debacle, Bravo wanted Porsha Williams gone, but kept her due to her strong fan base. Her losing a peach, however, had nothing to do with Claudia Jordan. Rather produces were initially not set to bring Porsha back but did, and elected to downgrade her status because of the 2014 reunion, not because of Claudia Jordan.
Second, Sheree is not joining RHOA. But LALATE has not gone a year without hearing fake hiring and firing stories on RHOA. It’s about as predictable as the Ground Hog looking for his shadow or In Sync not reuniting. Every year, Sheree and countless other fake reports surface about RHOA hiring. Tamra Braxton, NeYo’s wife, and others have led these hilariously wrong reports season to season. Even a shady ATL blogger has even once (wrongly) written about herself joining the cast. LALATE forewarns fans that they should expect the same to surface in the next few weeks.
Third, producers are likely to give NeNe Leakes two to three full housewife allies on the show, to even out the balances. LALATE knows one person who is likely up to join the show if she wants it, but that decision has not been made.
Fourth, Teresa Giudice is impacting RHOA, LALATE can report. Sundays on Bravo are anchored for the last eight years by RHOA and RHONJ. RHONJ typically runs April to October. But with no RHONJ yet (and yes it is coming back), Bravo is rushing RHOA back into production sooner, starting next month. There is a fear that nothing will anchor Sunday well until RHOA is back ready to air, with the exception of Nene, Kim and Kandi’s spinoffs. In short, RHOA generally airs in October. But don’t be surprised if Bravo gets it back on air several months earlier.
