It looks like Cynthia Bailey will have to earn her paycheck this time around on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. After Season 16 largely saw her on the sidelines, serving up a voice of reason in a part-time role, Cynthia revealed that she caught a few “strays” when filming Season 17. No smooth sailing this time!
Cynthia Bailey was shocked by the “strays” she caught filming RHOA Season 17
During a recent episode of Humble Brag, the podcast she hosts with Crystal Kung Minkoff, Cynthia teased what we can expect for Season 17. So far, most of what we’ve heard about the upcoming season has come from K. Michelle’s social media, so it was refreshing to hear someone else’s side.
According to Cynthia, Phaedra Parks recently hosted a party where “things went left.” However, Cynthia missed all of the juicy drama, so she’s heading back to Atlanta to get the details.
While Cynthia was hesitant to reveal who the drama involved, she teased that the newbies have been “very local” and “doing their thing.” She also said there’s been a lot of drama with Porsha Williams.
“Not a whole, whole lot with Phaedra,” Cynthia continued. “Actually, as someone who is a friend of, I got a little bit of smoke since we’ve been filming and had to give a little bit of smoke back.”
Since she’s not a full-time cast member, Cynthia said the ladies coming for her surprised her.
“I mean, I’m not off limits, but at the same time, I’m not necessarily a target either,” Cynthia said. “They’re like, ‘You’re around enough to catch a couple of strays.’”
With over a decade of Housewives under her belt, Cynthia made it clear that she didn’t feel too shaken up by the drama. She can take it, and she can dish it. It’s not her first time at the rodeo.
“Listen, I know my Housewife memory muscle is strong,” Cynthia admitted. “I know how to clock back in.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
