Kenya Moore is confirming the reports that there is a major cast shakeup coming for ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ season 14, and reveals that she wants former friend turned foe turned friend again, Phaedra Parks back for season 14.
During a press junket for the new season of ‘Dancing With The Stars‘ which Kenya has signed on for as we told you, she dished on attending Gregg Leakes‘ celebration of life services this past weekend in Atlanta, where she reconnected with several past and current RHOA co-stars including Phaedra, Nene Leakes, Porsha Williams, Kim Zolciak Biermann, Lisa Wu, and more.
She dished with Access Hollywood on the “big changes” that are reportedly coming to the show that has been previously reported as well as “one or two new girls” set to join the cast. She also dished on the upcoming ‘Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip’ spin-off that is set to air this fall.
Get into it below.
In a separate interview with ET, she continued to speak on the cast changes and shared her thoughts on Phaedra returning.
“[There will] definitely cast shake up,” she tells ET’s Lauren Zima. “Some new faces… and some old faces not there.”
“I love the oldies but goodies, I love the ‘OGs’ as they call them” Kenya offers up when pressed on who she might like to see return to RHOA, which could be a hint that original cast member Sheree Whitfield will be back as a Housewife for the third time. Kenya also name-dropped Phaedra Parks as a possible re-addition to the cast. The lawyer last appeared on RHOA in season 9, which ended with the explosive reveal that Phaedra was the one behind the spread of rumors about Kandi trying to drug and take advantage of Porsha in a “sex dungeon,” allegations Kandi has vehemently denied.
“The fans love Phaedra,” Kenya notes. “I don’t think it would be a bad idea to have her back. I think it would be very interesting.”
As far as who she’d like not to see back on the show, Kenya doesn’t name names, but does say she’d prefer to avoid the return of any “enemies,” of which she’s made a few over the years. However, Kenya quickly qualifies all her comments with “I don’t really know anything… but, yeah.”
Season 14 is expected to begin shooting in October!
