In a bombshell revelation that’s rippling through the Peach State’s entertainment circles, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss has confirmed her split from longtime husband Todd Tucker after 11 years of marriage.
The announcement, shared exclusively with People magazine on Friday afternoon, marks the end of one of Bravo’s most enduring on-screen romances, leaving fans and locals alike reeling from the unexpected turn.
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce,” Burruss, 49, stated in her emotional message. “I’m stepping into a new chapter, pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”
A Marriage Made For and From TV
The couple, whose whirlwind romance began on the set of RHOA during Season 4 in 2011, tied the knot in a lavish April 2014 ceremony that captivated viewers nationwide.
Tucker, 52, a behind-the-scenes producer on the show during their Africa trip filming, proposed just two years later in January 2013. What started as a TV spark evolved into a blended family powerhouse: Burruss brought daughter Riley, now 23, from a previous relationship, while Tucker had Kaela, 29.
Together, they welcomed son Ace in 2016 and daughter Blaze in 2019, building a life in Atlanta that’s been as much a part of the city’s cultural fabric as Burruss’s hit sex toy empire, Bedroom Kandi, and her Broadway productions.
For Atlantans who’ve followed the Burruss-Tucker saga, this feels personal. Their home in the upscale Country Club of the South neighborhood has hosted countless RHOA moments, from explosive reunions to family game nights at their sprawling estate.
The Tuckers: Entertainment Brokers With Businesses and Fame
Burruss’s ventures, including her Old Lady Gang soul food restaurants in East Atlanta Village and Southwest Atlanta, have become local staples, drawing crowds eager for a glimpse of the Grammy-nominated singer-turned-entrepreneur.
Tucker’s steady presence—often the camera counterpoint to Burruss’s fiery energy—earned him a fanbase of his own, with many crediting him for helping her navigate the highs and lows of reality TV fame.
The split, described by sources close to the couple as “amicable with legitimately no drama,” reportedly stems from the pair growing apart over recent months.
They’ve been separated for a few months, with Burruss recently basing herself in New York City for work while Tucker holds down the fort in Atlanta with the kids.
Fans first caught wind of trouble through subtle clues: Burruss ditching her wedding ring at public appearances and quietly dropping “Tucker” from her Instagram bio.
Whispers intensified last week at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas, where Tucker was notably absent as Burruss accepted the Wifetime Achievement Award.
In her speech, she gave a poignant shoutout: “To Todd, thank you for surviving the blogs, the shade, the rumors, the lies, the truth, the almost fights, the actual fights, the reunions… You earned this award too.”
Just days later, the fairy tale fractured.
As details emerge, questions swirl around the practicalities. With two young children in the mix, custody arrangements could prove tricky, though insiders emphasize the co-parenting remains a priority.
Whether a prenup is in play remains under wraps, but the couple’s shared business interests—from joint investments to Tucker’s production credits on Burruss’s projects—suggest negotiations ahead. For now, both vow to keep communication open, speaking daily and prioritizing the kids.
Atlanta’s Bravo faithful are already flooding social media with heartbreak emojis and support. “Kandi built an empire here, and Todd was right by her side through every twist,” tweeted one local fan from Buckhead. “Wishing them peace—y’all changed the game for Black love on TV.”
Others speculate on RHOA’s upcoming Season 16 reboot, sans Burruss, who stepped away last year but remains a fixture in the franchise’s lore.
Burruss’s post-divorce pivot sounds laser-focused: more music, more theater (she’s fresh off Tony-nominated producing for The Piano Lesson), and expanding her Atlanta-rooted brands. Tucker, ever the family man, is expected to stay put in the ATL, perhaps diving deeper into production or quiet philanthropy.
Final Word
As the city that birthed their story braces for the next chapter, one thing’s clear: Kandi Burruss doesn’t do quiet exits.
From RHOA drama to bedroom boardrooms, she’s Atlanta’s unapologetic queen—and whatever comes next, we’ll be watching. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

In a drama that could rival any episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, city police have dropped bodycam video showing reality TV icon Porsha Williams getting booted from a Delta flight after a heated exchange turned physical mid-air.
The Sunday night showdown, which unfolded en route from Las Vegas to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, has fans buzzing about whether this is just another chapter in Williams’ headline-grabbing life or a case of cabin fever gone wrong.
Atlanta Police: Porsha Williams Flight Turns To Fight
According to the Atlanta Police Department, the dust-up started as a simple beef over phone etiquette but quickly spiraled into accusations of assault.
Williams, fresh off a Vegas getaway and no stranger to on-screen squabbles, was deep into her Instagram scroll with the volume cranked up—think full-blast Reels echoing through the cabin.
Her seatmate, clearly not vibing with the soundtrack, finally snapped after 25 minutes of what she called “jarring” noise.
What Went Down: A Play-by-Play from the Bodycam
The footage paints a chaotic picture of a flight that’s anything but smooth sailing:
- The Spark: Williams is glued to her phone, blasting videos. The other passenger, fed up, turns and quips, “So, am I going to have to listen to that the whole flight?” Williams fires back casually, “Well, do you want to?” The tone? Tense from jump.
- The Escalation: The passenger claims Williams got snippy about her delivery, leading to a verbal volley. Hands fly up—literally. The woman says Williams’ manicured nails came inches from her face, screaming “crazy” and other choice words while the plane was still taxiing for takeoff. Crew? Strapped in and helpless.
- The Phone Fumble: Desperate to document the drama, the passenger whips out her cell to record. That’s when things allegedly go next-level: She accuses Williams of swatting the phone right out of her grip, sending it skidding down the aisle like a rejected prop in a bad rom-com. A flight attendant reportedly witnessed the whole thing, calling it straight-up assault.
Once wheels touched down at ATL around 7 p.m., Delta crew called in the badges. Officers swooped in, separating the two like feuding housewives at a reunion taping.
Williams, ever the poised Peach State queen, calmly explained her side to the cop on camera: “So, the lady who was sitting next to me, I was on my phone and the volume was up… She turned to me out of nowhere and said, ‘So you’re going to make me listen to that the whole flight?’ And I said, ‘Well, do you want to?’ She said, ‘No.’ She tried to cut her phone, record, and she drops her phone on the floor. She’s like, ‘You hit me. Oh my God, you hit me.’ And I’m like, what’s happening?”
Not buying the victim narrative? The other passenger tells a flipped script: “After about 25 minutes of her on Instagram, full blast… I said, ‘Am I going to have to listen to that the whole time?’ and she said, ‘Do you like it?’… The next thing I know, there was a fingernail so close to my eye… She had her hands in my face, screaming… So, I take it to video to try and protect myself. And as soon as I go like this, she takes her hand and goes like that and throws my phone… And the flight attendant told me he saw her knock it out of my hand. And that’s assault.”
Official Word: Separation, Scrutiny, and a Side of Shade
APD kept it cool, noting both women were interviewed on the spot and sent their separate ways—no arrests, no cuffs, just a whole lot of he-said-she-said. But the feds aren’t letting it slide: The FBI’s now poking around to see if Uncle Sam wants to press charges.
Williams’ legal eagle? She’s throwing shade from the sidelines, insisting her client was the one minding her business. “Ms. Williams was verbally assaulted by an irate and unhinged passenger without provocation,” the attorney fired off in a statement.
For Williams superfans, this feels like déjà vu—remember her explosive RHOA exits and entrances?
The Bravo babe, who’s juggled motherhood, mogul moves, and messy marriages, hasn’t commented publicly yet beyond that bodycam chat. Delta? Crickets so far, but expect the airline to chime in if the investigation heats up.
As Atlanta’s go-to for all things unscripted and over-the-top, we’re glued to this one. Will it spill into Season 16 tea? Stay tuned—because in Hotlanta, the drama’s always first class. Got RHOA hot takes? Hit us up in the comments.

In a dramatic turn that’s got the Peach State’s celebrity circles buzzing, former Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Mia Thornton was taken into custody Wednesday at the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International.
The 40-year-old reality TV alum, who traded Potomac drama for Atlanta glamour just months ago, is now facing serious larceny charges stemming from an alleged midnight furniture heist at her former rental.
Busted in ATL: Mia Thornton
According to the Atlanta Police Department, Thornton was nabbed “without incident” on Wednesday, Nov. 19, as she moved through the airport’s terminals.
Officers acted on an active warrant tied to a brazen theft reported last month, booking her straight into Fulton County Jail.
Body cam footage from the arrest, released by APD, captures the moment Atlanta’s newest transplant found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
The trouble traces back to Oct. 28, when Thornton’s former landlord – speaking through a property management company – called in the cops over a gutted condo unit.
The owner claims Thornton and her crew slipped in under cover of night and stripped the place bare, hauling off every piece of furniture that came with the lease, plus a wall-mounted TV.
The pilfered goods? Valued at a whopping $11,000, per the police report.
“It’s like they treated the place like a moving sale gone wrong,” the landlord fumed in the incident filing, alleging the tenants “took all of the furniture which was in the unit prior to their move in as well as the TV which was on the wall.”
Atlanta’s rental scene is no stranger to messy breakups, but this one’s got Bravo-level twists – especially since Thornton only unpacked her bags in the A-Town back in April.
Fans will remember Thornton’s emotional farewell to RHOP after four seasons of Potomac palace intrigue. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she announced her big move south, calling it a “new beginning” for her family and teasing “big things are coming.”
She gushed about the “unforgettable journey” on Bravo, shouting out host Andy Cohen for “believing in me and giving me the space to share my story.” To her co-stars: “Thank you for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments.” And to viewers: “Your love and support has meant everything to me.”
Thornton didn’t hold back on the hype for her Atlanta chapter, declaring, “I don’t just make headlines — I make History. Atlanta, brace yourself. The empire has expanded. #LegacyInTheMaking.” Well, Mia, the headlines are here – just not quite the empire-building kind.
As of this morning, Thornton’s rep hasn’t fired back with a comment, and details on her next court date remain under wraps. But one thing’s clear: From Potomac tea-spilling to ATL airport drama, Mia Thornton’s still serving looks, lessons, and now a little legal heat.

One thing that is always going to show out in Atlanta is the weather and the Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion show. This year’s edition won’t disappoint.
When Is the RHOA Reunion Show?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Season 16 Reunion, will air in three parts on July 13, July 20, and July 27, 2025, on Bravo, was a dramatic and pivotal event that tied together a tumultuous season.
Filmed on June 5, 2025, in Atlanta, the reunion brought together cast members to reflect on the season’s drama, personal conflicts, and major storylines. Now let’s get into a who’s who:
RHOA Reunion Show Cast Members
- Cast Present: Host Andy Cohen moderated the reunion, joined by Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and Cynthia Bailey (in a “friend of the housewives” role). Notably, Brit Eady and Kenya Moore were absent. Eady chose not to attend, while Moore was not invited by Bravo following her suspension from the show.
- Absences:
- Brit Eady: Opted out of the reunion, citing emotional devastation from the season’s events, particularly an incident involving a graphic sexual photo falsely attributed to her, which was displayed by Kenya Moore during filming. Eady clarified on Instagram Stories that the photo was not of her.
- Kenya Moore: Excluded after her suspension and departure from the show in June 2024, following an incident where she shared alleged explicit photos of Eady at her hair spa opening. This led to her reduced role to guest appearances and exclusion from the reunion.
- Guests: The reunion featured appearances by Angela Oakley’s husband, Charles Oakley, Porsha Williams’ ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley, and Drew Sidora’s estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, adding layers to the discussions about personal relationships.
Major Themes and Drama
- Brit Eady and Kenya Moore Incident: A central focus was the fallout from Moore’s display of explicit photos, presumed to be of Eady, which led to Moore’s exit. The cast discussed this controversy despite both parties’ absences, with Andy Cohen addressing Eady’s decision to skip the reunion, surprising her co-stars.
- Porsha Williams’ Divorce: Porsha’s finalized divorce from Simon Guobadia (completed June 11, 2025) was a major storyline. She emphasized her intent to confront each cast member with “truth” at the reunion, addressing emotional and legal challenges, including a cease-and-desist that restricted filming in her home.
- Phaedra Parks vs. Angela Oakley: Tensions flared between returning housewife Phaedra Parks and newcomer Angela Oakley. Their heated exchange included shade about age and appearance, with Oakley retorting, “If I look 53, you look 63,” to Parks’ jab. Angela also accused Parks of a “pattern of lying” and questioned her relevance in certain social circles.
- Charles Oakley and Shereé Whitfield: Andy Cohen brought up Charles Oakley’s past romance with former housewife Shereé Whitfield, prompting reactions from Angela Oakley, who addressed her husband’s history in the context of their marriage.
- Friendship Strains: The reunion highlighted fractured relationships, notably between Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton Mwangi, once childhood best friends. Drew Sidora’s comment telling Shamea to “go sit on Porsha’s lap” referenced earlier “lap dog” shade, underscoring ongoing tensions.
- Phaedra’s Return: Phaedra Parks, back after a six-season hiatus, brought “sass and spice” and teased “surprises” and “secrets revealed” at the reunion, describing it as “very dramatic.” She confirmed her return for Season 17, indicating her brief Season 16 appearance (three episodes) was just the start.
Fashion and Theme
- Reunion Looks: The cast embraced a yellow and gold theme, inspired by their Granada cast trip, with tropical and glamorous outfits. Phaedra Parks topped rankings with a She-Ra-themed golden sarong, dramatic headpiece, and Alexis Bittar jewelry, described as a “masterclass in reunion fashion.” Other notable looks included Kelli Ferrell’s 3D “ocean goddess” dress and Shamea Morton’s glistening yellow gown symbolizing “warmth.” Angela Oakley’s butter-yellow Valdrin Sahiti gown was criticized as “bland” and “underwhelming” for a first reunion, while Cynthia Bailey’s strapless Jovani dress was seen as “safe” but lacking drama. Drew Sidora’s pale yellow dress with Big Bird feathers was panned for its execution.
- Styling Highlights:
- Kelli Ferrell: Wore a Kristina Kharlashkina dress with Christian Louboutin shoes, aiming for “Cinderella had a peach” energy.
- Shamea Morton: Chose a Rian Fernandez dress with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, reflecting her “bright and bubbly personality.”
- Cynthia Bailey: Opted for “old Hollywood glam” with a Jovani gown, though some felt it lacked boldness.
- Angela Oakley: Her simple gown was meant to evoke “Oscar chic” but fell flat compared to others’ elaborate designs.
Final Word
If you want drama and the best “reads” on TV, RHOA brings the hits year after year.

Prostate cancer is one of those diseases that strikes older black men more than others. An Atlanta celebrity — Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Dwight Eubanks — has confirmed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Eubanks, a well-known Atlanta hairstylist, announced that he has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and is channeling pain into purpose by joining ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO), the nation’s leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer awareness, as a brand ambassador.
Eubanks is a prominent hair stylist and entertainment icon who has spent over 30 years in fashion and cosmetology.
He rose to fame on the Bravo reality series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, and also appeared on “Married to Medicine” as creative director of the Lisa Nicole Fashion Line. Joining forces with ZERO, Eubanks will help raise awareness about prostate cancer and call for Black men to know their numbers and get screened.
Today, one in six Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Moreover, Black men are 70% more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from it.
“A prostate cancer diagnosis is crushing but I’m grateful to still be in this fight and use my platform to help others impacted by this disease,” said Eubanks. “It is critical that men — especially Black men who are disproportionately diagnosed with prostate cancer — become their own health advocates and push for information, screenings, and lifesaving care. I am deeply thankful for ZERO’s support and partnership and I hope by sharing my story I will help to save more lives.”
Every two minutes a man in the U.S. is diagnosed with prostate cancer. This year alone, over 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be diagnosed and over 35,000 men will die from the disease — fathers, uncles and sons lost too soon.
“Though we know exciting medical breakthroughs are on the horizon to treat those with the disease, awareness and being proactive to diagnose prostate cancer early are critical,” said ZERO Board of Directors Medical Chair, Dr. Alicia Morgans, a Genitourinary Medical Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “The truth is prostate cancer can be curable with a 99% survival rate at 5 years when caught in the earliest stage. That’s why Dwight’s story and message to other men to get screened and know your family history is so powerful. Screening can be the difference between life and death.”
“This is more than a media moment — it’s a movement,” said Courtney Bugler, president and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer.“Dwight’s voice and story will help to redefine how Black men talk about this devastating disease within their communities —removing the stigma, replacing fear with facts and turning silence into survival.”
Why Prostate Cancer Affects Black Men Disproportionately
Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men due to a combination of genetic, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. Genetically, Black men have a higher prevalence of specific gene variants, like those in the BRCA1/2 and HOXB13 genes, which increase prostate cancer risk and are linked to more aggressive forms of the disease. Studies show Black men have a 1.7-2 times higher incidence rate than White men, with a 60% higher risk of diagnosis and a 2-3 times higher mortality rate.
Socioeconomic factors play a significant role. Black men are more likely to face barriers to healthcare access, including lower rates of health insurance, limited access to quality medical facilities, and delays in screening or treatment.
Only about 48% of Black men get regular PSA screenings compared to 60% of White men, leading to later-stage diagnoses. Systemic issues like poverty and discrimination in healthcare settings also contribute to worse outcomes.
Environmental factors, such as higher exposure to pollutants or poor diet due to systemic inequities, may further elevate risk. Chronic stress from racism, often termed “weathering,” can also disrupt hormonal and immune responses, potentially promoting cancer progression.
These factors interact, amplifying disparities. For example, genetic predispositions may be exacerbated by lack of access to early detection or advanced treatments.
Addressing these requires targeted interventions like improved screening access, culturally sensitive healthcare, and research into genetic and environmental risk factors specific to Black populations.

The latest episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ (RHOA) has once again stirred the drama between Kenya Moore and new cast members.
During the airing of the Sunday, March 30, 2025 episode of RHOA, a confrontation occurred between long-standing cast member Kenya Moore and newcomer Brit at a private dinner in Bankhead hosted by Angela.
Kenya reported being threatened with whips and pistols by Brit, which led to Kenya seeking protection and assurances from the production team.
After the episode aired, Kenya took to social media to question Bravo’s decision making, particularly when it comes to her safety. “I may be strong, but I’m not bulletproof,” she posted.
Kenya added, “It’s so painful to see my storyline being told by someone else. With that said, I really appreciate Kelli being so kind and supportive to me.”
The incident has sparked controversy and discussions about the network’s handling of the situation, with some viewers expressing support for Kenya and questioning the fairness of the network’s actions.
Kenya Vs. Bravo: A Trend?
This is not the first dust-up between Kenya and Bravo. The network suspended her last year for inappropriate remarks she made toward a cast member then.
Bravo suspended Kenya from RHOA in June 2024 due to an incident where she allegedly displayed explicit images of newcomer Brittany Eady at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta.
This event, filmed for Season 16, involved Moore reportedly unveiling posters showing Eady in a sexually explicit act, which were said to have been sourced online. The suspension came after reports surfaced that Moore’s actions violated Bravo’s code of conduct, specifically regarding the use of sexually explicit content.
Sources indicated that Bravo launched an investigation to review the footage and determine the full context, leading to Moore being sidelined indefinitely during filming.
The incident sparked accusations of “revenge porn,” which Moore denied, stating she would never engage in such behavior and claiming the images were not privately sourced by her. This controversy ultimately led to her exit from the show later that month, though she maintained she was still under contract and not formally fired.
The suspension and subsequent departure marked a significant shift for RHOA, where Moore had been a mainstay since Season 5.

Reality TV star Kenya Moore has left the Real Housewives of Atlanta, according to multiple reports.
Moore was serving a suspension due to an incident on set in which she leaked some inappropriate photos of new cast member Brittany Eady.
Moore was set to return to the show, but not anymore. There is talk that some Bravo executives wanted her gone, while others thought that she could ride out the controversy.
As a result, both sides have evidently agreed to part ways. News reports say Moore may file a lawsuit “because she’s not happy with how this whole mess unfolded.”
There is no word yet with what plans Moore has in store or whether she wants to continue her reality TV career elsewhere.

Veteran Atlanta reality star Kenya Moore has been suspended from filming Real Housewives of Atlanta following allegations that she displayed pornographic photographs of new cast member Brittany Eady at her hair salon opening party earlier this month, according to multiple media reports.
The alleged incident was reportedly captured by Bravo cameras. Eady has been accused of making threats toward Moore before the hair salon opening, allegedly using the word “gun.”
According to news outlets, Bravo is still reviewing video of the incident and more consequences for Moore and the brand may be forthcoming.
Bravo was filming the event for the 16th season of the long-running reality show, which is expected to air in 2025.
Moore responded to the reports with a statement on social media, saying, “I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”
For her part, Eady took to social media as well, telling fans on her Instagram Story that, “It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED BY SOMEONE I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met.”
“For the record, I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I’ve never been to jail, in [a] fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket,” Eady continued. “That’s not my character. I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong.
Some people may be confused about what even is revenge porn, so let’s break it down for you.
What Is Revenge Porn?
Revenge porn is the distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent, often by an ex-partner, with the intent to harm, humiliate, or blackmail the subject. This malicious act is typically motivated by a desire for revenge following the end of a personal relationship.
In many jurisdictions, revenge porn is considered a serious crime and can lead to legal consequences for the perpetrator. The laws and penalties vary by location, but they generally aim to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals against such violations.
Final Word
How this all shakes out is anyone’s guess. Moore joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in its fifth season, which premiered in 2012. As of 2024, she has been a cast member for approximately 12 years.
Atlanta reality TV shows showcase the best and worst of the city, but they have a following unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times.
TV executive Mona Scott has created an urban juggernaut that is single-handedly keeping VH1 afloat.
On Bravo, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” franchise continues to be a perennial winner among millennials. The bottom line is that people want to see Atlanta on TV.

Another marriage has ended in Atlanta’s word of reality TV.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia have called it quits after about a year and a half of marriage, according to People Magazine. The couple, who starred on Bravo TV’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, announced on February 22, 2024 that they are getting a divorce.
Porsha, and Simon, a Nigerian-born businessman, got married in a traditional Nigerian ceremony in November 2022.
The couple had a whirlwind romance on and off the screen as they got engaged in May 2021. What followed were magical trips to Africa, including one in which Porsha an ancestry DNA test confirmed that she was 44% Nigerian, from the same part of the nation where Guobadia’s mom is from.
Back then Porsha was a ball of energy and so excited about her nuptials.
“I am ridiculously excited,” Williams told People Magazine before the wedding. “I am just so ready. I’m not even nervous. I mean, I know I’m marrying the love of my life, and it’s just going to solidify our relationship and our family bond. I’m calm and excited.”
Why Are Porsha and Simon Guobadia Divorcing?
There’s no official word yet on why the Guobadias are ending their marriage, although there may be some indications.
The news of the divorce comes as Porsha announced that she will return to RHOA for its 16th season. She is also set to produce scripted shows with NBCUniversal.
“I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” she said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and showing the world my new world!”
Real Housewives of Atlanta Divorces
Is there something in the water, or better yet, the sweet tea. RHOA has been plagued by divorces since its inception.
- In 2005, cast member Lisa Wu married former NFL player Ed Hartwell. He filed for divorce on August 24, 2011; it was finalized October 7, 2011.
- May 5, 2023 — Former NFL player Kroy Biermann and Kim Zolciak-Biermann each filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.
- In 2014, Porsha famously divorced former NFL player Kordell Stewart. Per the divorce agreement, she received none of his retirement money or assets.
- 2007 — Shereé Whitfield’s and former NFL player Bob Whitfield divorced after seven years of marriage, just before RHOA’s premiere episode.
