The Cast For the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5!
NeNe Leakes is back for what could be her final season of RHoA.
Phaedra brought personality to her pics.
We'll have to wait and see if Cynthia will be on Team Tall or Team Small this season.
Kenya looks excited to be a part of the Season 5 cast.
We hope Porsha will enjoy her time on RHoA!
Who is Kenya?
5. She Was a Groundbreaking Miss USA
In 1993, 22-year-old Kenya was crowned Miss Michigan, and then Miss USA, making her only the second African American woman to receive such a high honor. That same year, Kenya placed fifth in the Miss Universe pageant. Looks like she may give Cynthia Bailey a run for her money!
4. She Acted Alongside Whitney Houston
When she’s not winning beauty pageants, Kenya is flexing her acting chops. She made her acting debut in 1995’s Waiting to Exhale as the woman who caused Whitney Houston to hold her breath.
3. Even Her Hair Is Famous!
Following her movie debut (and several other movie roles), Kenya and her gorgeous locks were the stars of a Pantene hair commercial in the early 2000s.
2. She’s Charitable, Too
Raised by her grandmother in Detroit, Kenya overcame many hardships, but was always able to put her education first. In 2004, she founded the Kenya Moore Foundation, which awards educational scholarships to young women from Kenya’s high school, Cass Technical High School.
1. She’s Not Technically a Housewife
While the gorgeous Kenya was once linked to former NFL player Terrell Owens in the past, she’s far from married. In fact, this beauty is reportedly single and ready to mingle!
One insider says: "Kenya has it out for [Porsha]. Kenya Moore is diva! Kenya is in the middle of every fight and stirs up a lot of shit."
Why Is Kim Zolciak Missing?
Kim Zolciak will have a much smaller role going into Season 5.
Straight From the A is actually reporting that the other returning housewives refused to film any footage this season until they knew exactly how much Kimmie was going to be involved.
“It appears Zolciak hasn't been pulling her fair share of the weight and the other ladies are a bit perturbed that the token white chick got all the perks,” the site speculates.
Kim was reportedly given a bit of a “pass” for the season due to her pregnancy, but it sounds like that didn’t sit well with the other gals!
She hasn’t said anything about returning to television in her own spin-off, so fans will have to see if Kim will just be a guest of the housewives or will be phased out like Camille Grammer from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
NeNe Puts An End Date To ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’
NeNe Leakes wants to leave the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ but the end date is her little secret. The reportedly highest paid Housewives star has already booked several other high paying gigs including a season regular on ‘Glee’ and the ‘New Normal.’ Outside of TV Leakes has ventured into liquor and fashion.
In the near future however we may see the NeNe Leakes show. The 44-year old reality TV star revealed her plans in a recent interview,
“At some point I do [plan to leave RHOA.] I love the acting world. So at some point, I can’t continue to be a house wife. At some point, I have to back out.”
She added, “I would keep it real for the whole hour! Whatever the topic is, I feel I could talk about anything. Politics, men, money, shoes . . . anything. I wouldn’t want to do a ‘Maury Povich’ show. Baby daddy! Who’s your daddy? Who’s your mama? I wouldn’t want to do that kind of show.”
For now however she’ll return for another season of the show that gave her her start.
