In a present recognized for jaw-dropping exits, epic reads, and iconic reunion chairs, The Actual Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 reunion is already making headlines earlier than it even airs. The sudden twist? Brit Eady by no means confirmed up.
In a brand new trailer dropped by Bravo on Friday, June 27, followers had been left reeling as Andy Cohen revealed Eady’s shock no-show to the remainder of the forged. Sitting within the sizzling seats had been Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and Cynthia Bailey—all visibly surprised.
“Brit Eady has determined to not be part of us,” Cohen proclaims early within the teaser clip.
The digital camera then cuts to a visibly shocked Kelli Ferrell, who quietly mutters, “Wow,” whereas one other voice within the background gasps, “What?”
Eady’s absence isn’t only a dramatic flourish, it’s rooted in one of the crucial talked-about scandals of the season. Earlier this month, it was revealed that each Brit Eady and Kenya Moore wouldn’t be current on the reunion. Eady opted out voluntarily, whereas Moore, as soon as the franchise’s longest-running forged member, was not invited by Bravo.
Moore’s exit got here after a scandal that escalated quickly. Throughout an occasion on the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa, she allegedly confirmed company sexually express pictures presupposed to be from Eady’s previous. Bravo launched an inner investigation, and Moore was subsequently suspended and exited the present.
Eady addressed the incident on her Instagram Tales the identical day the reunion was taped, Thursday, June 5:
“I have no idea who was in that photograph, however upon seeing it for the primary time just lately, I now understand it was not me,” she wrote.
“I sit up for in search of accountability and shifting previous this darkish a part of my life.”
However the drama didn’t finish there. In the course of the reunion trailer, Porsha Williams pointed to what many followers had already been speculating.
“Kenya had gotten data from a present housewife about Brit’s previous,” Williams says.
That led Cohen to show on to Kelli Ferrell and ask the query that might ignite one other spherical of chaos:
“Did you ship her the photographs?”
Ferrell, visibly caught off guard, was left speechless—a second that appears destined to gasoline hypothesis till the episode airs.
And that wasn’t the one conflict teased within the trailer. Viewers can count on rigidity between Phaedra Parks and Angela Oakley, in addition to a heated change between Williams and Morton Mwangi—one so intense it seems to push Williams to stroll off set.
Season 16 of The Actual Housewives of Atlanta has been something however predictable. If the trailer is any indication, the reunion can be no exception.
