AceShowbiz - Cynthia Bailey is not going anywhere. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star sets the record straight after it was rumored that she was axed from the popular Bravo reality show.
She reveals to The Shade Room that she has no plan to leave the franchise. "I have no plans to leave 'RHOA' at this time. Every year there are rumors saying that I am getting fired, or not returning," she explains. "I've been a peach holder consistently for 10 years now. I love my cast, and my Bravo family."
The TV star also hints that she most likely will be appearing in the upcoming season 13, saying, "I am looking forward to next season."
Addressing the reports that she is being offered a "reduced role" by the CEO of the production company, Cynthia insists "that is completely false." She continues, "We just recently filmed the reunion, and have not started contract negotiations yet."
Prior to this, it was said that the Bravo honchos decided to fire Cynthia and fellow "RHOA" star Eva Marcille. "Cynthia and Eva's storylines were the weakest. We knew there was going to be a change going forward, bring in new Housewives and get rid of [some] old ones," an executive claimed. The insider noted that "it's important to constantly refresh the cast with new blood."
Additionally, the source debunked rumors about NeNe Leakes leaving the show. "No Nene is not getting fired. She's the best part of the show," said the informant.
When asked about when the show would officially fire Eva and Cynthia, the source explained, "They'll be notified the final decision after the reunion show airs, until then, they have no idea that they're [likely] out of a job." Despite that, the executive hinted at the "slight" possibility that the show would keep one or both of them on the show, especially if the Coronavirus quarantine continues.
