Kenya Moore confirmed she would be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 amid a cast shakeup.
The Kenya Moore Hair Care founder is conserving her peach and will now be the longest-standing housewife of RHOA.
“I may be Gone With the Wind Fabulous, but I’m not Going anywhere!” Moore shared on Instagram along with the hashtags “Sweet 16,” “Team Twirl” and “Longest-standing peach.”
Moore joined RHOA in Season 5 of the Bravo reality series. She was a full-time cast member up through Season 10 and took a step back in Season 11. Moore returned as a full-time housewife in Season 12 and has been a main cast member ever since.
Ahead of filming for RHOA Season 16, the cast has undergone many changes. Kandi Burruss, who had been the longest-standing peach, announced she was leaving the show after 14 seasons and as the show took a pause between seasons.
Marlo Hampton also confirmed she would not return after her contract wasn’t renewed following Season 15.
Andy Cohen said on his SiriusXM show that Sanya Richards-Ross was also not coming back to RHOA after two seasons on the show.
Amid all the exits, Bravo confirmed Porsha Williams had signed up to return to RHOA after two seasons off the show. Williams’ return will take place shortly after the housewife announced she was divorcing her husband, Simon Guobadia.
Bravo has not commented on which other housewives would return for Season 16 or how many new faces would be added to the cast. From the Season 15 cast, Shereé Whitfield and Drew Sidora’s fate has not yet been confirmed.
