The cast for Season 7 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" has been announced and Bravo is really shaking things up. NeNe Leakes, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks are all returning but Porsha Willliams has been demoted to "friend" of the series, aka a part-time cast member.
Producers added two newbies, Claudia Jordan who will be full-time and Demetria McKinney who joins Williams in the part-time status. Sources told TMZ that producers originally wanted Williams to remain full-time but changed their minds after she tried to attack Jordan.
If you remember, Williams got into a nasty fight with Moore during the Season 6 reunion show. Sources also told TMZ that Williams was keeping things about her personal life from the producers, leaving them with virtually no storyline.
Bravo also released the first trailer for Season 7 and it's full of tears, drama and more fighting. Burruss and her new husband Todd Tucker are trying to start a family together and it looks like Mama Joyce and Tucker get into it. It was rumored that Burruss may already be pregnant but wanted to announce the news on the show.
Moore also wants to have a baby and struggles with the fact that she doesn't have kids yet... or a man. In the trailer she does a little flirting with a man named Roger Bobb, but it turns out that Bobb has a girlfriend and she's not happy the former pageant winner was pushing up on her man.
Season 7 will also see Parks dealing with her husband Apollo Nida's messy legal trouble. Nida recently started his eight year prison sentence and in the trailer there's some drama between the husband and wife.
Leakes and Bailey share a few tears together as they try and mend their friendship, and Jordan stirs up trouble when she starts flirting with Williams' ex-husband, Kordell Stewart. Could this be why Williams was trying to attack Jordan?
Season 7 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" returns Nov. 9 on Bravo.
