E!: no changes in 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' cast for season 7
NeNe Leakes recently said all season 6 cast members of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" were invited back for the next season.
All cast members were under contract to come back season 7. It was just a question of the money. And after the highest rated season in the show's history, I'm sure all six received raises.
Production begins again next month for Bravo's most popular "Housewives" franchise. It's no surprise the network doesn't want to mess with a winning formula. These six have been together since season five, when Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams were added to the mix and both Kim Zolciak and Sheree Whitfield exited.
NeNe has been especially vocal about her doubts coming back to the show and she has complained about the air of negativity (emanating quite a bit from her.). But she knows this is the best gig she's got right now and it pays way too much to walk away. The problem now is she and her best friend Cynthia Bailey were on the outs during the reunion show. What will happen there?
And while Kenya wanted Porsha gone in the immediate aftermath of Porsha's attack on her during the reunion, she isn't stupid. She knows that the tensions between the two of them will help fuel season 7.
