While doing a string of promo interviews this week for his latest project, Andy Cohen caught up with ET and gave some slight updates as it pertains to the reported cast shakeup for ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ season 14, teased the ongoing rumors that Sheree Whitfield is returning, and even revealed that he wants Monique Samuels back on ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac‘ following her exit after last season.
It’s been widely reported that the cast of RHOA for season 14 is up in the air, as according to reports Cynthia Bailey and Drew Sidora‘s roles have been reduced, and Porsha Williams is contemplating whether she wants to return. That leaves just Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore as the only two peach holders confirmed to return. Their filming schedule has also reportedly been pushed back, so they won’t begin taping until later this year when they would normally be airing.
While Andy didn’t confirm or deny these rumors, he did say that there are definitely some changes happening with the cast, including the addition of a 6th peach (up from 5 last season) and he teased the names but didn’t give them away.
“You know what? We are noodling with the configuration of Atlanta as we speak,” Cohen tells ET’s Matt Cohen while promoting his new Peacock series Ex-Rated. When ET asked if rumors circulating that Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey might be out of the line-up, and franchise OG Sheree Whitfield could return, Cohen pulled a scrap piece of paper out of the waste basket at his desk.
“I just threw out a little piece of paper that has the names of who I believe the cast will be,” he reveals. “I am not going to show you … there are six names on this list.”
He also suggested that the rumors of Sheree’s return are true while revealing that he’d love to bring Monique Samuels back to RHOP.
“I always love Sheree,” he gushes. “I mean, we just brought Heather Dubrow back in Orange County and I thought that was great. It would be fun — I think it would be fun to bring someone back who no one would [expect] — I mean, people talk about Dorinda [Medley] or Lisa Vanderpump or… I always like the curveball and the people saying, ‘What?! You’re bringing back this person?!’ I think Monique [Samuels] would be fun in Potomac.”
