Three people have been fired and won't return next season for Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta." According to Media Take Out, the network handed out new contracts but not every cast member received one.
A Bravo source told MTO that producers want to "shake up" the cast even though they are pleased with the ratings. Reportedly the producers of the show want "real drama" next season.
"They're looking to bring new women - who have real life drama in their lives," MTO writes.
According to the website, NeNe Leakes, Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss will all return for
Season 7.
"The producers feel that NeNe is the foundation of the show and they are not letting her go," the site claims. "The second most popular cast member is Kandi - she just rubs everyone the right way - and she's genuinely liked by everyone. Phaedra is a lock too - given the legal issues that her family is going to be facing in coming months."
Reportedly Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams did not receive contracts and were fired. MTO also said pseudo-housewife Marlo was also given the ax. Marlo wasn't an actual housewife this season but there were reports that producers wanted to bring her on for Season 7.
After the fight between Williams and Kenya Moore, Bravo reportedly changed their minds. The source told MTO that producers don't want anyone who has "the propensity for violence."
The gossip site also said that Moore did receive a contract for Season 7 but it's not clear if she will return. According to CBS, she was really upset over the reunion brawl and doesn't condone violence.
"We all agree that we don't condone violence," she said in an interview with CBS. "We've become angry with each other, we've threatened each other and gone to the edge. But at the end of the day, we know there's a line. If there are no consequences, then where does it end?"
Moore said she hasn't talked to Williams since the fight.
Do you think Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams should have been fired?
