Bravolebrity Kandi Burruss Announced She Is Not Returning to ‘RHOA’

Kandi Burruss Announced She Is Not Returning to ‘RHOA’

First, I bet you didn’t know Kandi Burruss was reportedly earning $2 million bucks a season as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which by all standards makes her the highest-paid “Bravolebrity.” WOW. So it is a big surprise that after 14 drama-filled seasons, Burruss is exiting the franchise as she just announced what she calls “a break.”

ICYMI, Burruss first came to the show in the second season. She was already a celebrity in her own right and gave credibility to the franchise as the first big name from outside the Bravo reality world to join the cast. She has used the platform more than most housewives as a bonafide entrepreneur with her adult toy line, restaurants, cosmetics, clothing, acting on series like The Chi, and most recently, acting AND producing Broadway productions. But we say all that to say the news hits the Bravo world during a major cast shakeup for RHOA.

Burruss made the surprise announcement on the red carpet for the 2024 Grammy Awards. She spoke to Variety and exclusively confirmed her exit. “I’m not really keeping up right now,” Burruss said, “I’m not keeping up. I already said it, so I’ll tell you. I decided I’m not coming back this year. It’s been 14 seasons, and they allowed us to sit around for a little too long, but during that time I had started working on a lot of other things, and I got some nice big projects coming soon, so I’m super excited about those things.”

Then she added, “But it’s not just that. It’s just like, after you really have time to think, and a friend of mine was like, ‘Why do you keep doing it?’ And I was like, ‘Well, I think because I’ve just been doing it for so long, it feels weird to think not to do it?’ So I was just like, ‘You know what? I’m going to take a break, I’m going to take a moment… I’m not coming back this year.’”

If you were keeping up, Burruss previously mentioned on her Instagram Live stream that “she grew frustrated with waiting for casting decisions to be made. She won’t skip a beat with the varying projects she is part of,” as reported by Shadow and Act

Well, good luck, Burruss; we’re sure there’s nothing but big things ahead, and maybe a return to RHOA is in her future. Stay tuned.

Simon Guobadia Accuses His Estranged Wife Falynn of Being Pregnant

Simon Guobadia Accuses His Estranged Wife Falynn of Being Pregnant

Simon Guobadia and Porsha Williams broke the Internet when they announced that they were in love and engaged to be married.

Fans expressed support for his estranged soon-to-be ex-wife, Falynn, and she’s gearing up to share her side of the story.

That clearly doesn’t sit well with Simon who described Falynn as a “cheating wife.”

“Let’s start with why I filed for divorce,” Simon wrote on Instagram alongside a preview of a sit-down interview Falynn did about her past relationship. “Let’s start with who she cheated with and currently pregnant for and living in a home I paid for – post divorce.”

Page Six reports that Simon thought “it was time to speak the truth.”

Falynn posted the same clip in question and teased her upcoming tell-all with YouTuber Adam Newell.

“Simon doesn’t get caught unless he wants to be caught,” she says in the video, adding at different points, “I meant what I said when I took my vows — it hurts, it hurts like hell” and “I love hard, I love really hard,” through tears.

“My truth,” she captioned the clip. “Catch this exclusive only on YouTube on June 10th.”

Do you plan to tune in to Falynn’s tell-all interview?

Porsha Williams Shares That She Plans To Have Two Weddings With Simon Guobadia

Porsha Williams Shares That She Plans To Have Two Weddings With Simon Guobadia

Porsha Williams broke the Internet when she revealed that she was “crazy in love” with the estranged husband of her former friend and Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star, Falynn Guobadia.

The day after her bombshell revelation, Porsha announced that she will star in a three-part special on Bravo about her personal life and upcoming nuptials to Simon Guobadia.

“Now Porsha, who’s planning the meal for your extravagant African reception?” Dish Nation co-host Gary With Da Tea inquired while touching on the topic of Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s wedding plans.

The outspoke reality star gushed, “You know what, I think Simon done pulled a page out of Blake’s book because he did say, ‘Oh, babe, it’s okay. Just do whatever you want. It’s your day, I want you to experience it all.’ So yeah, I think he kind of put it all on me too. I think I’m feeling Gwen Stefani’s pain here because I’m the one that’s going to be doing all the extravaganza over here. I see what y’all are doing, I see it.”

When asked if she’s planning a themed wedding, Porsha revealed that she’s having not one but two ceremonies.

“Well, not necessarily themed, because he’s African, so we’re going to have a native law and custom ceremony and a regular wedding. And then, we’re going to have another wedding at one of the houses that are out of the country,”

Fans began speculating that Porsha Williams is expediting her weddings to Simon to have content for her upcoming solo special, but a source told Page Six it was “greenlit months ago, so it has nothing to do with this [engagement] news.”

Either way, Porsha certainly secured viewership while RHOA is on break until the next season.

Kenya Moore Recalls Disastrous Date With Kanye West: ‘It Was Just The Craziest Thing’

Kenya Moore Recalls Disastrous Date With Kanye West: 'It Was Just The Craziest Thing'

Kenya Moore appeared on The Wendy Williams Show on Friday and she reminisced about her past relationships.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star recalled a disastrous date she had with Kanye West.

“I did go out with Kanye once,” Moore told Williams when asked if any celebs have ever asked her out. “That was a disaster.” 

“Somehow, we ended up going to his house and there was, like, some very explicit things on TV,” Moore shared through an awkward smile. “I was lost, he left me alone, I was just there for like five minutes, wandering around his house. When I followed the noises, he was watching something on TV that he probably shouldn’t have been. So, that was my exit!”

“As much as I love him, it was just the craziest thing.” 

Kenya Moore is currently rebuilding her marriage with Marc Daly. They got married in 2017 and share a two-year-old baby girl, Brooklyn Doris Daly. “We’re actually getting along better than we’ve gotten along probably shortly after we got married,” Moore said in June. “I mean it’s just been no arguments, no real fights or disagreements and he’s been really sweet and caring and thoughtful. It’s like ‘Wow, you know, this is the man I’m married.’”

Twitter Slams Chunky Jermaine Dupri Clone Dennis McKinley For Blaming Cheating On Porsha Williams

The Real Housewives of Atlanta - Season 11

Porsha Williams has been living out a nightmare onscreen as a cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, this after it came out that her fiance cheated. In a new episode of the reality series, a therapy session revealed why Dennis McKinley stepped out and he’s putting the blame on his wife-to-be essentially.

Williams and McKinley are currently attempting to work things out, and were living apart but jointly raising their 8-month-old daughter during the filming of the episode. In the couples therapy session, McKinley shifted the blame of his own actions onto Williams, saying that sex during pregnancy and her postpartum depression was too much to bear.

“We had a rough pregnancy, all the way from start to finish,” McKinley shared during the session. “Sex during pregnancy, it’s nothing that a man wants to do … and after PJ got here, postpartum was very real. We cried together like every night. That’s not a good enough why, but that’s the why.”

McKinley went on to say that he realized that the decision to cheat on Williams was both “poor” and “selfish,” staying that he knows that he made a huge mistake. He again stated that he loves Williams and appears to be sincerely working things out with his wife-to-be. In closing, McKinley said that the priority is his baby girl

While McKinley’s words and gestures seemingly appeared to come from the heart, fans on Twitter are looking at McKinley sideways for putting Williams through the public embarrassment of cheating and further putting the blame on her in so many words.

We’ve got the reaction from fans on Twitter below.
