It looks like ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ is rounding out its cast for season 9, and we’re here for the new additions!
Just yesterday, it was reported that season 8 friend of the show, Keiarna Stewart has snagged a full-time contract for the new season, and now we hear another familiar face has as well.
According to TV Deets, who also confirmed the news of Stewart’s deal, now former on-air anchor Stacey Rusch has signed on as a full-time cast member.
According to my rock-solid sources, Stacey may be well-known to some Potomac viewers already as the longtime host of her own dedicated hour on QVC. In addition to her work on QVC, Stacey has appeared as a reporter and host on FOX5’s Morning News and Good Day DC, and as an anchor and reporter on ABC7’s Good Morning Washington.

Before entering the world of TV, Stacey was known as a health and wellness expert, practicing yoga in over 35 countries and while teaching for such high-profile agencies as the White House Athletic Center, American University, and NASA, according to her official website.
In local circles, Stacey is known as a bit of a D.C. socialite, sitting on the boards of many charities and helping to raise money for different causes. One of the foundations she has worked with, Felicias’s Fund, is where she met current Housewife Karen Huger, who will reportedly be introducing her to the rest of the group.
Stacey joins Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Karen Huger, Wendy Osefo, and Stewart when filming starts next week.
Stacey may have seemingly confirmed the news as she shared a flashback snap to her Instagram stories of her and Karen.
Stay tuned!
