From #PettyP to Being the HBIC, ‘RHOA’ Stars Are Prepping to Take the Gloves Off at Reunion

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The season 11 reunion of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is filming Thursday, and the stars are gearing up to participate in what promises to be an explosive event.

Porsha Williams was the first to indicate on her Instagram page that she’d hold nothing back when she got to recap the season on March 7. Using a clip from Fox’s “Malcolm In the Middle,” she showed just how petty she plans to be. It looks as if Williams will spare no feelings while facing Kandi Burruss and Nene Leakes for the former’s spreading of gossip about Williams’ fiancé Dennis McKinley and the latter accusing Williams of throwing her under the bus.

“Reunion is comin up…I’m excited🤡 #PettyP #Rhoa,” the mom-to-be wrote in the caption of a video of two of the sitcom characters banging up each other’s cars.

But Leakes herself also is ready to pounce. The sole original star of “RHOA” posted a caption to her Instagram page Thursday morning along with a photo of her calling card with “#OG #Threat” written around her name.

“I’m in the house! Bring it….RHOA Reunion season 11 #OG #Threat #headbitchincharge #watchoutheels,” Leakes wrote in the caption of the pic, which included a heel with wristwatches as the straps.

While she may seem game on IG, she explained on the “Watch What Happens Live” after show Sunday that she “hates” reunions.

“I am that girl that everyone wants to come for, so I’m sure that they are going to figure out how to come for me,” Leakes said. “They want to come for me but they better be right because my guns are loaded, honey.”

Meanwhile, Cynthia Bailey kept things much more zen, simply captioning a selfie snapped on the way to the set “Trust the process✨.” Eva Marcille showed off her new shorter ‘do before stepping out on set.

“#Basic #Unbothered” the “America’s Next Top Model” winner captioned one boomerang video of her haircut. She wrote in the caption of another clip, “🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s #rhoareunuion time 🤭.”

Fellow peach holders Burruss and Shamari DeVoe have been quieter about their pre-reunion plans as an “RHOA” fan account promises to tease fans with updates.

The “RHOA” reunion is set to air on Bravo this spring.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
