Former Real Housewives of Atlanta Star Kandi Burruss Speaks Out About Dramatic Cast Changes
Season 16 of RHOA will see newcomers Brittany Eady, Kelli Ferrell, and Angela Oakley joining Shamea and Porsha. Returning Housewives include Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora, and alum Cynthia Bailey in a friend-of role.
Not returning next year are Marlo Hampton, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Shereé Whitfield.
In a recent tease, Kandi hinted at some behind-the-scenes drama for season 16 that she heard through the grapevine.
“I’m not necessarily gonna miss that stress,” she shared. “They started filming this week. I was talking to one of them—I can’t say who it was—but she was like, ‘Girl, it’s just a lot.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know if I missed that part.’ I forgot about that first stress of getting the ball rolling when you’re meeting new people.”
When asked what she will miss about being part of the cast, Kandi mentioned the camaraderie and feeling of being part of something great despite the stress and work involved.
