One scene for the trailer shows newcomer Richards-Ross arguing with the ladies and saying, “I’m a four-time Olympic gold medalist. … Put some respect on my name.” Burruss is also heard discussing a fellatio rumor at a child’s birthday party. An apparent fight between Sidora and Whitfield is also shown.

Fans were floored to see some old faces in the trailer, especially that of Apollo Nida, the ex-husband of former cast member Phaedra Parks. Fans had hoped Parks would return to the show, and many were surprised to see Nida before Parks. Nida appeared in the trailer with Whitfield, who asked the ex-con for some advice in welcoming her fiancé home from prison.

“Chile…Not Apollo making an appearance #RHOA,” wrote one Twitter user.

“Apollo secured his peach back before phony phraudulent [sic] Phaedra. #RHOA [peach emoji].”

“Shereé filming with Apollo due to the Tyrone connection is some true mess. [laughing crying emoji] #RHOA.”

Fans also noticed original cast member Lisa Wu in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” trailer and were excited about her return to the show.

“Just in case you need a reminder on who Lisa Wu is #RHOA” wrote the fan. “Lisa needs her peach back STAT,” one fan responded.

Since Nene Leakesdeparture from the show, many fans have voiced that the show hasn’t been the same. However, some were impressed by the season 14 trailer. “Now y’all know I do love Nene, BUT the trailer ATE,” wrote one fan. “There’s nothing missing, Kenya is the supreme, Kandi showing us why she’s the longest peach holder of the franchise, the newbies are active, and Marlo is coming in hot! I think this season will be amazing. #RHOA.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
