Cynthia Bailey appeared as a friend on this current season 15 of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ which wraps up on Sunday (Sep. 10) after part 2 of the reunion.
Although she came in at the very end of the season and appeared at a few taped events, fans were nostalgic and have been calling for her full-time return–especially amidst reports that the show is getting a cast overhaul.
Well, the model/actress has revealed that she likely will not be returning to the show because she has given so much during her run as one of the longest-standing peaches.
“I do not see a ‘Housewives’ return at this point in my life,” Bailey, 56, said during Thursday’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” live podcast taping at Chelsea Table & Stage in New York City.
The model-turned-reality star added that she feels like she “just left” the world of “Housewives,” noting her 2021 departure from “RHOA” after 11 consecutive seasons.
“I did 11 long years. I gave you guys two marriages, two divorces,” she said, acknowledging her 2017 divorce from Peter Thomas and her divorce from second husband Mike Hill, which was settled in February.
“Like, I just don’t have anything else left to give you guys.”
However, Bailey has appeared as a guest on the current season of “Atlanta” and filmed scenes for the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” with bestie and business partner Sutton Stracke. (Bailey just launched a sustainable line of bedding with Sutton Brands.)
“I did enjoy being able to pop in on … ‘Atlanta’ and ‘Beverly Hills’ because I do have organic relationships with a lot of the ladies after 11 years of being a consistent peach-holder on ‘Atlanta,’” she explained.
“It’s good to just be able to come home sometimes.”
Bailey emphasized that she is “really enjoying [her] acting career” at the moment despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike — the first in 43 years — that has put most scripted productions on pause.
“We are on strike right now. Please pray that’s over soon,” the “Terror Lake Drive” actress said.
