Report: RHONY To Begin Filming Without Leah McSweeney Due To Contract Negotiations And Rumored Newbie Alicia Quarles “Has Been Demoted To A Friend” For Season 13; Sources Claim Another Woman Of Color Is Joining The Show!

According to a new report, The Real Housewives of New York City will start filming the new season without  Leah McSweeney over contract negotiations. 

As previously reported, TMZ reported that McSweeney was only being offered a “minuscule” pay raise for the upcoming 13th season. The source is also saying that she feels “disrespected” by the low offer. McSweeney is said to be holding out for a bigger offer that she feels she deserves.

Now, new sources have emerged about the show's upcoming thirteenth season. “Leah is trying to strong arm them into paying her double, putting her on the same money level as old timers LuAnn [de Lesseps] and Sonja [Morgan]. However, Bravo is not budging. They are starting to film without Leah and think she will back down after a few weeks of them not needing her,” an insider told OK!

The insider added, “Bravo is super tight when it comes to money. None of the ladies earn millions on the show. The reason the franchise is so successful and won’t be cancelled like the Kardashians is because Bravo watches the bottom line like a hawk. The only person making a ton of money off this franchise is Bravo.”

Alicia Quarles, who is a Daily Mail correspondence, is rumored to join the show to increase diversity to the series. 

“Alicia has been demoted to a ‘friend of’ the show and is being paid a day rate rather than a salary — until she proves herself,” OK! reported. “Bravo is frightened that she might be ‘too nice’ to fight and hang with these super tough ladies.”

The outlet reports that Quarles isn’t the only person of color joining the show. “Another lady will be starting tomorrow,” said the insider, “but so far the ladies have no clue who she is because Bravo is scared of leaks.”

However, a Bravo spokesperson shuts down OK!’s claims, adding, “All of this inaccurate.”

NeNe Leakes has officially confirmed that she's leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta after months of contract negotiations and reveals she will not return to the show's upcoming thirteenth season.

“Thank you to all of you guys that have been showing me a lot of love and support as of late. I feel you, I hear you. I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,” Leakes revealed to fans via her YouTube channel on Thursday, September 17, according to PEOPLE. “There’s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ Season 13. It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”

“It wasn't an easy decision for me,” she continued. “It was hard. I started on The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2008. We took off like a rocket. I mean, we took off. You could have never told me that I would start on this little show and it still be going strong 13, 14 years later. And it is. I'm just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened up doors for Black ensemble reality shows to step up and be a part of what we all now love so much, reality TV,” Leakes said.

She went on to thank anyone who has ever “looked up” to her, her production company, and Bravo for “all the memories, the laughs, the tears.”

She also addressed a false report of someone on her team releasing a statement on her behalf last week. “I have no knowledge of it, I didn’t approve it.”

“When something is this important and this near and dear to my heart, I always want to be the person to address you.”

She ended her message by saying, “I will see you again real soon,” possibly teasing her return to the small screen.


In a statement to PEOPLE, a Bravo rep said, “We wish Nene all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for sharing her journey for over a decade with the fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She's been instrumental since the start and will truly be missed, and maybe one day she'll hold the peach again.”

NeNe, who is one of the original five cast members, joined the show when she series made its debut in 2008. She appeared on the show seven seasons. In season 8 she left but made several appearances in the second half of the season including the reunion. She took a break during season 9, only to return for season 10-12.

Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Porsha Williams are set to return for season 13 along with rumored new cast members Drew Sidora and LaToya Ali. Marlo Hampton and Tanya Sam are also set to return as a “friend” of the series.

Dayna Kathan Slam Jax Taylor’s ‘Passive Aggressive’ Behavior; Says “He’s Been Nothing But An A—Hole”

Dayna Kathan is not holding back about how she truly feels about her Vanderpump Rules co-star Jax Taylor.

Kathan recently appeared on Katie Maloney’s “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast on Friday, September 18, Kathan quickly determined which of her costars wouldn’t make the cut in a game of “F–k, Marry, Kill.” 

Choosing between Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute, and Taylor, Dayna went in on Jax’s behavior.

“You know what it is? He still has me blocked [on social media]. He’s been nothing but an a–hole,” Kathan claimed, according to Us Weekly. “I’m just over it. … He blocked me, he’s passive aggressively tweeted about me several times. I love Brittany [Cartwright] so much, and she’s been very welcoming to me and we have a great relationship, but even the copious times I’ve been at their home, he’s made a point to try not to make eye contact with me or engage me and whatever, and so I’m just like, ‘You know? F–k you.’ I just don’t care anymore. Like I really don’t.”

Despite knowing him for years, Katie admitted that there are still things she doesn’t quite “understand” about “the way his mind works.”

Earlier this year, Taylor slammed several of the newest Pump Rules stars — including Kathan, Brett Caprioni, Max Boyens, Charli Burnett, and Danica Dow. Before season 8 came to an end in June, Taylor said he was disappointed that the episodes “wasted so much time on pointless in the moment fighting” between the newbies.

“Just for the record, the OG cast does not argue like this anymore,” he wrote via Twitter in May, according to Us Weekly. “I don’t know what happened this season. I personally think there are just too many people on the show, too many story lines to follow so things didn’t make a lot of sense. In my opinion.”

Kathan said that she had “spent so much time” hanging out with Taylor and Cartwright, 31, that she was shocked by his remarks.

“I was like, ‘Where is this coming from?’ It was really surprising to me at the time because not that he and I were close and honestly not that I’d want to be, but he didn’t give off that energy that we had a problem,” she said on Friday. “If someone doesn’t like you, they don’t like you and that’s cool. Do whatever you want to do in your life but don’t act passive aggressive. … I mean Jax is 40. You know? Nothing wrong with that, I’m not shaming him for that but you know, treat others how you want to be treated.”

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave recently did an Instagram Q&A session and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared her thoughts on the current season of The Real Housewives of Potomac.


When asked who is her favorite housewives on RHOP, Teddi wrote, "I cannot answer this. It is to hard!!!"

She continued, "I love [Gizelle Bryant] becuase she gets the job done! [Robyn Dixon] because I feel like she is a good friend. [Monique Samuels] because she doesn't hold back."

She added, "[Ashley Darby] for always showing up newborn and all!!"


A  user then asked Mellencamp if she thinks Ashley Darby's husband Michael was "guilty of the butt grabs?!?!" Teddi responded, "I hope not for Ashley's sake! I watch the show for entertainment value not to make judgments on strangers. I am sure if I actually knew either of them and was on the show I could make a judgement either way but as a viewer I prefer not to."


When asked which Housewives city would she like to make a guest appearance on, she wrote, "Hmmm, I dunno. I guess the only one that makes sense would be OC because we also have a house in Dana Point."

Former Real Housewives of New York City friend Barbara Kavovit weighs in on the alleged hookup drama between Brandi Glanville and Denise Richards, which played out on season ten of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

Kavovit was asked to share her thoughts on the topic during a recent Instagram Q&A session. A user asked Kavovit, "What do you think happened with Denise and Brandi?"


To which Barbara simply responded, "Had amazing sex!"

As previously reported, Brandi told Teddi Mellencamp and Kyle Richards about her alleged sexual encounter with Denise during the July 22 episode of RHOBH. She claimed that the two women slept together when Brandi visited Denise on set in Northern California to interview her for her podcast “Unfiltered” in April 2019.

“I went and I was going to get my own room, but Denise said, ‘No, just stay here. It’s fine. I’ll get you a rollaway bed,’” Brandi claimed on the episode, adding that Denise’s daughter 15-year-old daughter, Lola, was also on the trip with a friend. “There was no rollaway bed. … The kids were downstairs and we were in the loft and there was no door. And I just couldn’t get into it. The next day, Denise said to me, ‘No matter what you do, you just can’t tell Aaron. He will kill me.’ And I’m like, ‘What the f—k is happening right now?’”

Brandi also claimed on the episode that she was told Aaron would be “OK” with his wife sleeping with another woman.

“The morning after … I was just kind of in shock by it,” Brandi told Us about Denise’s pleas not to tell Aaron. “And she continued to be really nice to me. And she would text me to check in but she was just very unavailable, she definitely hit it and quit it. So I was like, ‘Oh s—t, this bitch.’”

Denise has continued to deny that she hooked up with Brandi.

Dana Wilkey aka Pam calls out Camille Grammer for denying that she made out with Brandi Glanville during Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Hey I wasn’t going to get on Instagram tonight but I have to tea.” Wilkey began on her video clip via Instagram post.

“So I was watching Twitter and I saw Camille talking to this chick on Twitter and she was saying ‘why are you defending Brandi because you Brandi exaggerated and said you guys made out in Season 2 when you went on there reunion and you said you didn’t.”

“Well, I must have missed that — I wasn’t on that part reunion, I was only on one part — I think they were three. And I didn’t know Camille said that because actually I saw Camille dirty dancing with Brandi and making out with her as I said on the podcast on my profile.”

“And I like escaped because I thought it was weird — just for me, okay? Because I didn’t want to make out with anyone.”

She added, “So that was that, so anyways. I just wanted to share that cause I thought, ‘why is Camille denying that?’ I didn’t know she denied that.”

Erika Girardi Reveals The ‘Most Frustrating Part’ Of Denise Richards’ ‘RHOBH’ Drama And Shares Why She Wished Denise Stayed On The Show!

Erika Girardi is sounding off on all the drama that went down with Denise Richards on the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“I think the most frustrating part about all of this was that Denise could not even acknowledge what was said on camera,” Erika explained during the Thursday, September 17, episode of E!'s Daily Pop, according to Us Weekly. “So it’s kind of like irrefutable evidence. And then just, ‘I didn’t say that’ … but it’s on camera!”

Erika admits that she was not happy Brandi Glanville was not allowed to share her side of the story about her alleged affair with Richards at the season ten reunion. “Had it been any other Housewife in that situation, Brandi would’ve been seated right there to confront her,” she noted on Daily Pop. “But she wasn’t. … It puts us in a weird place — and you know this game better than me, Justin [Sylvester] — so when the Brandi thing comes to light, we as a cast have to talk about it. And we’re dragged into it.”

She added: “Now you’re taking Brandi, who’s an important piece of this story for months now, and you’re not letting her speak? And I just feel like had it been any other woman, Brandi would’ve been there.”

Erika then shared how Denise struggled to adapt to the format of the show because she’s an actress. “There’s no stop and start. There’s no script,” she said. “You’re talking off the top of your head. Everything is up for grabs. Everything will and can be used. And you have to be able to live in that space. And there’s no protection from production or the network or your friends or, you know, anyone. … Everybody looks bad. Everybody takes a hit. Everybody stumbles, and there’s no retakes, really.”

Girardi then explained why she would have loved to see Richards stay on the show. “You know, everybody internalizes this show differently,” Erika said. “I would've liked to see her stay, but she has to do what's right for her and her family.”

According to Love B. Scott, Falynn Guobadia is joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the show's upcoming thirteenth season of the Bravo hit reality series. 

Sources say she’s actively filming with the cast, but whether or not she’ll become an actual ‘Housewife’ or an official friend of the show has yet to be determined.

The outlet reports that Falynn is known around Atlanta as a socialite and her husband, Simon Guobadia is super-wealthy. According to his Instagram bio page, he is a philanthropist, chief executive officer, film producer, and investor.

She is good friends with Porsha Williams and Shamea Morton. Guobadia has been seen recently pictured with some of the RHOA ladies via social media.

The outlet claims that she is currently getting along with the rest of the cast at the moment and she may join the ladies to their upcoming cast trip to the Carolinas since international trips are restricted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Love B. Scott reports because Falynn is coming into the group with coins of her own, she’s asking for a significant amount of money to sign-on officially. Also, her husband’s willingness to participate in filming will be a deciding factor — much like it was for newcomer LaToya Ali.

Meanwhile, Guobadia addressed the rumors about her joining RHOA via her Instagram Stories.

“I guess the cat is out the bag,” she wrote. She added another post of the rumors about her joining the Bravo hit reality series. 

Falynn shared a screenshot of Love B. Scott's article and wrote, “FYI I  took this pic."

The news comes after NeNe announced this week that she was leaving RHOA for a second time around. “Thank you to all of you guys that have been showing me a lot of love and support as of late. I feel you, I hear you. I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,” Leakes revealed to fans via her YouTube channel on Thursday, September 17, according to PEOPLE. “There’s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ Season 13. It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”

Motivational speaker Bershan Shaw is rumored to be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City for the show's upcoming thirteenth season, according to a report by TMZ.

Shaw could make history as the first Black cast member of the Bravo hit reality series.

A source close to production told PEOPLE that Shaw has "filmed with some of the cast, but nothing is official yet.”

Shaw describes herself as a speaker and TV personality on her website. She is also a cancer survivor.

“I am a stage 4 breast cancer thriver and this journey has prepared me to live my best life. I help transform the lives of leaders and business owners to get what they want from their business,” she states on her site.

News of Shaw joining RHONY also comes after the franchise lost Tinsley Mortimer and Dorinda Medley. Mortimer left the show mid-season to move to Chicago to be with her now-fiancé Scott Kluth. In August, Medley announced her departure from RHONY after five seasons.

Leah McSweeney, who joined the cast for season 12, recently opened up about wanting RHONY to be more diverse. “I hope that there's just more diversity all across the board because New Yorkers are not a monolith, obviously. I think that it is gonna head in that direction,” McSweeney told Page Six in August.

In August, Real Housewives executive producer and Watch What Happens Live host admitted that he is looking forward to adding more diversity to RHONY for its upcoming 13th season. “We’re working on next season,” he told Us Weekly.

Kent and Randall Emmett announced the news that they were expecting their first child on the Wednesday, September 2, episode of their podcast, “Give Them Lala…With Randall”.

“I’m like shaking right now, because I can’t believe it’s a real-life thing,” Kent said about her pregnancy. “I’m really emotional.” 

Kent revealed that she cries about “everything,” but explained that “today it’s very much happy tears.”

In honor of her birthday, the Bravo reality star turned 30 which prompted her to share the couple’s happy news.

“Today is my 30 birthday and I can’t think of any other way to celebrate than with you guys coming through your headphones and speakers,” Kent joked. “I had the best gift given to me, my body also helped out too … I am pregnant!”

Emmett jumped in and added: “Lala Kent, a soon-to-be mother!”

“I am so excited. I feel very maternal and motherly,” Kent said. “I cry about everything. I look at the refrigerator and it could be empty or full and I’m, like, is [it] happy or sad, I don’t know.”

Last month, Emmett shard that the couple was working on about their baby-making plans. “We are working at that currently,” Emmett told Us in August. “We are on the Flo app. We are on the apps. Lala, whatever day it is, she comes in, she says, ‘Give me a baby!’ and then I hop right to it.”

This will be the first child for Kent as Emmett shares two daughters, London and Rylee, with his ex-wife, Amber Childers.

RHOJ Stars Christall Kay, Mpumi Mophatlane And Lethabo Mathatho Reunite Months After Filming Dramatic Season 2 Reunion!

Real Housewives of Johannesburg stars Christall Kay, Mpumi Mophatlane, and Lethabo Mathatho recently reunited. Kay shared a photo posing next to her co-stars during a lunch date. 


Christall captioned the Instagram post, "Talk about a power lunch! This was for real Guys! Thanks luvvies @lethabolejoy @mpumimops." They were joined by celebrity makeup artist Carine, who works for RHOJ. Kay added, the hashtags, "#rhoj #realhousewivesofjohannesburg2 #realhousewives."

Their reunion got fans excited for the hopes of a third season. While many asked the ladies if this was for season 3, the ladies didn't respond.

While no official announcement has been made about RHOJ Season 3, it's been confirmed if the series does return, they will get a new production company. 

As previously reported, in March 2020, the production company, RHOSA, who is responsible for producing the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg officially closed its doors. Philly Kubheka, M-Net's senior publicity manager at local productions said at that time that the production companies partners' Sonia Mbele, Rebone Sesing and Pebble Gqunta cited irreconcilable differences for closing the company.

However, Kubheka said that the South African reality series, The Real Housewives of Johannesburg will not be affected by the closure as the network sent out a brief for season three and many companies pitched for the 1Magic hit reality series.

In an official statement, Kubheka said a new production company will be announced once the reality show is commissioned.

"The partners sighted irreconcilable differences for closing the company. As channel we ensured that "The Real Housewives of Johannesburg" was not affected by the company shutting down hence we were able to produce a great show for the next season. Season 3 was briefed out and different companies came to pitch. We will announce the production company once the show gets commissioned," Kubheka told IOL Entertainment in a statement.

Mbele had nothing but kind words for her partners when contacted for comment. “With any company you start, you do it with the greatest of intentions but, like any bad marriage, when it’s no longer working, you dissolve the marriage and move on.”

The Real Housewives of Johannesburg made its debut in August 2018. The first series consisted of six ladies: Brinnette Seopela, Christall Kay, mother and daughter, Evodia and Mercy Mogase, Lendy Ter Mors and Naledi Willers.

However, the series returned for a second season in 2019 with a major cast shakeup - Seopela and Kay were the two only original cast members that returned to the series. They were joined by new cast members Lebo JoJo Gunguluza, Lethabo Mathatho, Mpho Merriweather, Mpumi Mophatlane, and Tarina Patel.

Real Housewives of Vancouver alum Ronnie Negus has taken to Instagram to give a health update on her daughter Remy. “Remy update: After Remy nearly died in 2013 from choking things have not quite been the same.”

“Remys brain lost oxygen for 22 minutes and the paramedics pronounced her clinically deceased when they arrived. They worked on her for two hours before they transferred her to the hospital where she went onto Life support and went into a coma,” Ronnie wrote in an emotional Instagram post.

“Remy survived and is alive and well, although the road has been long and extremely difficult. Remys brain no longer functions the same. With out getting into too much detail because it’s hard to write about, private and would take a novel, Remy continues to make small steps forward, however she can be “extreme violent” with out really knowing what she is doing please remember those words because I do not feel comfortable outlining what she has done to staff and family members including myself ...Remy also suffers from extreme anxiety looping, perseverating on people and things, suicide attemps, runs into traffic etc We bought Remy a home on the ocean on several acres where she can run around be with nature and plant gardens ride her bike and have space.”

Ronnie continued, “We collectively as a family continue to support Remy and provide the best life possible for her. To all of my children who have gone to see & spend time with Remy, dad and I are beyond grateful it has not gone unnoticed. To our extended family & friends who have also been so supportive and involved thank you!! It truly takes a village. ♥️ And to anyone reading this there is a message .... My message is enjoy every moment of your life. Tell the people you love how much they mean to you and do not take life for granted. Things can change on a dime.”

She added, “I know my life looks great on social media does anyone ever really post the crap the bad photos the bad days. ( some yes) but most do not. Remember everyone is generally fighting some kind of battle you know nothing about, the only thing that is constant is life if change,” she wrote. “Be kind, love and more love and never take a single breath for granted. With love, Ronnie.”


If you recall during the first season reunion special, Ronnie revealed that her daughter Remy had choked on a piece of steak and was declared clinically dead. “She was 22 minutes down,” she previously told North Shore News. “It was horrific. She turned solid blue. I went into absolute shock.”

To make matters worse, the family’s housekeeper had a massive heart attack while giving Remy CPR. While both of them survived, Remy’s cognition wasn’t the same after that day, according to the publication.

“Nobody thought that she was going to come off of life support, but she did,” said Negus, who is inspired by her daughter’s resiliency.

Following the unfortunate incident, Negus suffered post-traumatic stress disorder when filming started for the second season of the Slice hit reality series.

“And I thought it would be good for me, and in hindsight it was really the worst thing,” she previously told North Shore News. “I should have taken that time to heal.”

These days Remy lives in a home with caregivers on Salt Spring Island, where she visits “all of the time.”

Sonja Morgan Speaks Out About Century 21 Closing After Launching Her Clothing Line With The Store!

Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan is reacting to the news that Century 21 recently filed for bankruptcy. 

Morgan first launched her label Sonja by Sonja Morgan in 2014, and made headlines when she signed a deal with Century 21 last year. While Morgan hasn't announced where her line will be carried next, she revealed that she's devastated that the company is closing all 13 of its stores.

“I found a family there and a home for my collection,” she told Page Six. “All these years I was looking for the right place.”

Morgan said that she felt like the “rug has been pulled from under” her, and she added that she’d turned down other retailers, but “felt safe with [Century 21].”

Morgan said she’s most disappointed that she’s not going to be able to follow through on a plan to take people in need of shopping sprees to help them in the hope to change their lives.

“I was going to be Chief Lifestyle Officer taking people on shopping sprees. Helping people who have gone through a hard time before the pandemic,” she said. Morgan added that the so-called sprees would’ve also been to help “people transition through hard times in their life,” and to provide wardrobes for people who need to “get a leg up on a job interview,” or folks who are “going through a sex change, coming out or coming back from the military.”

She added, “I was going to be helping people at this point in my life — that’s what I was looking forward to. It was going to be soul food to make me feel better on a day-to-day level. It was not just about raising millions. I was just going to go on a day-to-day level with Century 21, and help people with a $500 shopping spree.”

Morgan added that she can’t even bring herself to go on one last shopping excursion to Century 21 for herself after the shocking announcement.

“I don’t plan on going to Century 21 for a last [time]. I can’t even bring myself to do that,” she told Page Six.

Melissa Gorga is teasing Bravo viewers what they can expect in the upcoming new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“We're out and about filming,” Melissa told North Jersey News. “We're trying to be secret about it but it's not really working for us because we're all over the town. It's definitely a different season for us because of COVID and the masks and the virus. It's definitely a different feel for us this year because we're seated outside, and there's a lot more filming in our homes. Wow, it's going to be very powerful, I can tell you that. It's been amazing.”

Gorga then reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected her family - especially her as a mother.

“We all have heavy mind over this,” Melissa said. “We're all mothers and we’re trying to finagle filming and trying to set my kids up at home virtually (for school) and I had to run here today and all my kids are sitting in front of computers. You can't help but want to (hover) over them but moms have to go to work. We have things to do — it's a very trying time for moms who have to work right now.”

Gorga along with Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jennifer Aydin are set to return for season 11 along with rumored new cast member Michelle Pais.

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave Addresses Backlash About Her ‘All In by Teddi’ Program And Explains Why Participants Are Required To Sign NDAs!

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is addressing the recent controversy surrounding her accountability program, ALL IN by Teddi. After her wellness program was heavily criticized via social media last week for its allegedly restrictive methods, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is defending her business.

“We realize that social media is a blessing and a curse, and it can bring out the best in people and the worst,” she told Page Six. “We have so many fabulous friends and fans on social, but there are also detractors, and there will always be people who want to feel better by making other people feel worse. That makes me sad, but it’s the way it is.

“I decided to start All In when so many of my Instagram followers started reaching out and wanted to achieve the same level of accountability, I had found for myself. I realized this in fact is my purpose and what I love doing. Helping others feel their best.”

Several social media users shared their alleged negative experiences with ALL IN with influencer Emily Gellis Lande, who kept their names anonymous. Some claimed that the meal plans restricted participants to just 500 calories a day and they had to send proof of partaking in an hour of cardiovascular activity each day.

But Mellencamp denied those accusations, telling the publication  that ALL IN’s meal plan has “evolved.”

“Our focus has always been on clean whole foods and our basic Jumpstart menu is 1100-1200 calories per day. There are a variety of nutritional food options on our menu. We have found that clients do best following a simple menu in the initial stages. We allow lean, clean proteins throughout the program and we encourage clients to eat balanced meals. Protein-rich veggies are a large part of our plan. It’s all about tailoring a program to meet each client’s goals and needs for a healthier lifestyle,” she explained.

Mellencamp has also come under fire for her credentials, and those of her employees, which some former participants found questionable.

“I became an AFPA-certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant and AFPA-certified Personal Trainer, but that’s not what our program is about. We employ accountability coaches, and each of them has been through the program, which makes a difference. It builds a community and there is a lot to be said for people who have shared lived experiences.

“We truly believe that the lived experience makes all the difference. Our coaches are not licensed health professionals and have no healthcare training,” she told Page Six. “We practice what we preach and it isn’t about certifications. If people are looking for certifications, then they need to go elsewhere, but if they want a helpful, nurturing, supportive accountability coach, they’re in the right place.”

Other participants claimed that they were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements upon joining the program, which Mellencamp addressed the topic on her “Teddi Tea Pod” podcast.

“We require a consent form when you come through which actually protects them as much as it protects us because we want to make sure that you are not pregnant. You have not had a past eating disorder. That we are not licensed professionals and we have no healthcare training. So when people are saying NDAs, we want to make it clear that this is as much for you as it is for us. And then, the company has also evolved a lot from when we first started. I originally had an NDA because when I first started the show, people were signing up solely because they wanted to talk to me. And then I realized, like, ‘Okay. I need to put some things in place so people are signing up for the right reasons, not just to talk to a ‘Real Housewife.'”

NeNe Leakes shared several text messages she received from other Real Housewives stars following her announcement that she is leaving the Real Housewives of Atlanta - for a second time. 

The texts were obtained and shared by Twitter user Jay's Reality TV Page. Leakes' co-star Tanya Sam sent her a text.


Sam wrote, “NeNe Leakes I miss you already my Sagittarius sister! Posting a few pics to honor you and commemorate all that you have done to trail-blaze for me and so many on the show. So many have watched and tuned into RHOA for years to watch you laugh, slay and turn up and now I pray the Universe brings you bigger and better adventures!”

She added, “ps this first pic i love bc its a 3 am in Tokyo, cameras down, we cried off all out makeup resolving and working thru our little spat but we did and hugged it out.... Cheers to more hugs and adventures.”

Leakes also shared a text she got from her former bestie and co-star Cynthia Bailey.


“Nene Leakes. You were heavy on my spirit today,” the text read. “I just want you to know that I wish you a lifetime of love, peace & happiness. You are so deserving of it all. I am excited to see all the amazing things that God has put in place for you as your incredible journey continues. Continue to soar beautiful black queen. You are you and this is your power. Originally you and never to be duplicated. May God continue to bless you & your family. Always. Cynthia.”


RHOP's Ashley Darby wrote to Leakes, “Thank you for Setting the tone for women of color to have a strong voice on bravo. You really will always be a legend no matter what you choose to do from here on out.”

Leakes also shared texts she got from RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel and RHOA's Porsha Williams.


Bethenny simply wrote, “Good luck boo.”

As for Porsha Williams, she began by adding crying emoji smileys. “On the real why your video made me tear up," Williams wrote, referring to Leakes' YouTube video where she announced her RHOA exit. "Thank you for everything you have done and the ground you later that I and many other walk on.” 


Leakes also shared a text she got from RHOP's Monique Samuels. “I know it had to be difficult to say goodbye but I'm proud that you stood your ground and demand the respect [you] deserve!" She added, "Wishing you many blessings on your journey.”

“Thank you to all of you guys that have been showing me a lot of love and support as of late. I feel you, I hear you. I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,” Leakes revealed to fans via her YouTube channel on Thursday, September 17, according to PEOPLE. “There’s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ Season 13. It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”

“It wasn't an easy decision for me,” she continued. “It was hard. I started on The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2008. We took off like a rocket. I mean, we took off. You could have never told me that I would start on this little show and it still be going strong 13, 14 years later. And it is. I'm just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened up doors for Black ensemble reality shows to step up and be a part of what we all now love so much, reality TV,” Leakes said.

She went on to thank anyone who has ever “looked up” to her, her production company, and Bravo for “all the memories, the laughs, the tears.”

She also addressed a false report of someone on her team releasing a statement on her behalf last week. “I have no knowledge of it, I didn’t approve it.”

“When something is this important and this near and dear to my heart, I always want to be the person to address you.”

She ended her message by saying, “I will see you again real soon,” possibly teasing her return to the small screen.

In a statement to PEOPLE, a Bravo rep said, “We wish Nene all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for sharing her journey for over a decade with the fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She's been instrumental since the start and will truly be missed, and maybe one day she'll hold the peach again.”

NeNe, who is one of the original five cast members, joined the show when she series made its debut in 2008. She appeared on the show seven seasons. In season 8 she left but made several appearances in the second half of the season including the reunion. She took a break during season 9, only to return for season 10-12.

Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Porsha Williams are set to return for season 13 along with rumored new cast members Drew Sidora and LaToya Ali. Marlo Hampton and Tanya Sam are also set to return as a “friend” of the series.
