Cynthia Bailey Teases Return of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’

The big picture

  • Cynthia Bailey aims to bring
    The Real Housewives of Atlanta
    return to #1 by joining a larger role.
  • Bailey believes the show has lost its way and hopes to inject new energy and enthusiasm with its return.
  • Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora and Porsha Williams are also returning for season 16, with new Housewives making their debut.


Cynthia Bailey maybe I come back as a friendbut she has a mission in mind: to obtain The Real Housewives of Atlanta back to #1. Bailey is gone RHOA in season 13 to pursue other projects, and it’s very safe to say that Bailey did well. Since leaving the reality series, she has been working to expand her business and book roles. Fans were excited to see Bailey make appearances in season 15. Now, season 16 is right around the corner, and this time, she’ll be more than just a cameo. She will be the reason why the series will be number 1 again.


Bailey caught up Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea Podcast to address his return and felt the series had lost its way. “I feel like the show has been doing well over the last few years,” she said. “No shade, but it just is. And it hasn’t prospered like “Atlanta” has always prospered.”

When we talk about help RHOA on regaining the top spot in the Bravoverse, she said: “We’ve been #1 for so long. And seeing him not become No. 1 was really difficult, even while remaining on the sidelines. It really, really was. So I think new blood was needed and from what I can tell, these ladies really seem to have what it takes and I’m so excited to meet them.
