The Real Housewives of Potomac\u00a0is getting a major cast shakeup heading into its ninth season, but will it help or hurt the group? Four original housewives have stayed on the show through\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 8. However,\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 9 will be the first season Robyn Dixon will not be part of\u00a0since the series’ inception. Additionally, longtime\u00a0Potomac housewife Candiace Dillard Bassett\u00a0announced she wouldn\u2019t be returning for\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 9\u00a0after a rough past two years. Like Robyn, Candiace has been on the show for quite some time having joined during season 2.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time the\u00a0Real Housewives<\/em>\u00a0franchise has seen a sudden cast shakeup in an attempt to save a failing franchise. Notably, the entire cast of\u00a0The Real Housewives of New York<\/em>\u00a0City was rebooted for season 14.\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>used to be one of the most entertaining series<\/strong>; however,\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 8 was lackluster, inhibited by the women refusing to interact with their fellow housewives. Going into season 9, Bravo has a lot of work to do to save the series, and throwing in some new blood into the group is the network’s solution.<\/p>\n

RHOP Is Losing At Least Three Permanent Housewives<\/h2>\n

Robyn, Candiace, & Nneka Won\u2019t Be Back For RHOP Season 9<\/h3>\n
\n
\"Robyn<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

RHOP\u00a0season 9 will see the exit of three permanent Potomac housewives. Robyn was an OG housewife, regarded for her friendship with Gizelle Bryant, deeming them the \u201cgreen-eyed bandits.\u201d Robyn and Gizelle navigated\u00a0RHOP\u00a0together as ride or dies. There\u2019s no Gizelle without Robyn, and vice versa. They\u2019re also co-hosts on the\u00a0Reasonably Shadypodcast where\u00a0Robyn confirmed\u00a0she was fired from\u00a0RHOP. Rumors began swirling after the end of\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 8 that Robyn was getting cut from the cast, which she confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s reality. The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words. I will not sugarcoat the situation and say, \u2018Oh I am walking away and this is a break,\u2019 or anything like this. This is a network decision.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shortly after Robyn\u2019s announcement,\u00a0Candiace announced that she would not be returning to\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 9. In an interview with\u00a0People, Candiace said she was taking \u201ca break\u201d from the show, adding, \u201cThis is not a farewell, but a \u2018see you later.\u2019\u201d Andy Cohen confirmed that Candiace was not fired but chose to step away from the show. Candiace has been on the show for a while, joining in season 3. She was integral in much of the show\u2019s history, being involved in a majority of its memorable moments, including when Monique Samuels got in a physical altercation with her during\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 5.<\/p>\n

Potomac newbie Nneka Ihim\u00a0was also reportedly fired, per\u00a0TV Deets. Nneka joined\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 8 and had a conflict with Wendy Osefo.\u00a0Wendy refused to communicate with Nneka, though she did get along with the majority of the rest of the Potomac ladies. The news of her firing was somewhat shocking, but not as jaw-dropping as Robyn and Candiace\u2019s exits. They were two housewives embedded in the history of the Potomac franchise. Without them,\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 9 will look different.<\/p>\n

Robyn & Nneka Were Fired, But They Got Along Well With Most Of The Cast<\/h2>\n

They Had Good Relationships With Majority Of The Potomac Women<\/h3>\n

Throughout\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 8, Nneka forged new relationships with the Potomac women. Coming in as a new housewife, she got along with everyone except for Wendy. She created a good connection with Robyn, who is close to Gizelle, Mia Thornton, and Ashley Darby.\u00a0The franchise was built on friendship but has become oversaturated with fake narratives<\/strong>\u00a0and storylines over time. While Robyn was not the most honest housewife, she had a real connection with the Potomac women.<\/p>\n

The remaining Potomac housewives set to star in\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 9 are a disjointed group<\/strong>. Karen Huger, Gizelle, Ashley, Mia, and Wendy all have ties to each other, but they\u2019re not the closest group of friends by all means. Gizelle is close with Karen, Ashley, and Mia, but not Wendy. Mia has had a good relationship with Karen before, but this has been strained throughout the years. Karen is friends with Wendy, but that seems like Wendy\u2019s only real friendship left in the group.<\/p>\n

RHOP Season 8 Friend Keiarna Is Reportedly Joining The Season 9 Cast<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s Another Rumored Full-Time Housewife Joining RHOP Season 9<\/h3>\n

RHOP\u00a0season 8 introduced Wendy\u2019s friend, Keiarna Stewart, as a friend to the group.\u00a0TV Deets\u00a0reported that despite reports she was axed from the cast,\u00a0Keiarna will be joining\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 9 as a full-time housewife. Keiarna was briefly featured throughout\u00a0RHOP\u00a0season 8, and her biggest moment this season was in the finale episode. Ashley\u2019s friend, Deborah, got physical with Keiarna during a party for Gizelle and Ashley\u2019s fashion line. She was left with a bloody forehead and had to visit the hospital.<\/p>\n

Aside from the fight, Keiarna attended the cast group trip to the Dominican Republic. It was clear she had formed bonds with the rest of the women, including Gizelle, Karen, and Candiace. Gizelle checked in on her throughout the trip, which she appreciated. While Keiarna came into the group as Wendy\u2019s friend,\u00a0she didn\u2019t let this friendship hold her back or prohibit her from forming relationships with the other women<\/strong>. Karen really liked Keiarna and made sure she was okay after Deborah attacked her in the finale.<\/p>\n

Keiarna would bring new energy to\u00a0RHOP<\/em>. She\u2019s already been featured on a season of the show, but landing a full-time spot would allow the audience to learn even more about who she is. She doesn\u2019t let her previous friendships hold her back from making new friends, which is a great quality to have as a housewife.\u00a0Karen seemingly confirmed Keiarna was joining\u00a0RHOP<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>season 9 after she reposted the\u00a0TV Deets<\/em>\u00a0Instagram post to her Instagram story.<\/p>\n

2024 is here, and while there are many reality TV shows to choose from, here are twenty highly anticipated shows in the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TV Deets\u00a0also reported that\u00a0Stacey Rusch is\u00a0RHOP\u00a0as a full-time housewife. Stacey is a host and reporter known for her work on QVC, FOX5, and Good Day DC. The network is working overtime to cast new women to bring a new vibe to\u00a0RHOP\u00a0after a terrible eighth season. It\u2019s unclear how Stacey would fit into the group, but Keiarna already has relationships that would ensure she\u2019d be a good personality to keep in the group.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Unclear Where The Remaining Women of Potomac Stand<\/h2>\n

Where Do Karen, Gizelle, Mia, Ashley, & Wendy Stand?<\/h3>\n
\n
\"real<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s unclear where the remaining five Potomac housewives stand with each other. Karen and Gizelle were much closer during\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 8, which was refreshing. They are the matriarchs of the show, and having a close relationship is one of the bonds holding the show together. However,\u00a0Gizelle and Wendy are losing their closest allies Robyn and Candiace<\/strong>, respectively. They had authentic relationships with their respective best friends, and the show would feel different without them. It will be refreshing not to watch Gizelle and Candiace passive-aggressively talk about each other throughout\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 8.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Mia and Karen can get on better terms in the upcoming season.\u00a0Adding Keiarna\u2019s energy to the group will bring the women closer together<\/strong>\u00a0as they all enjoy her company. Ashley can usually get along with anyone, so she\u2019ll manage well with the reported new housewife Stacey.\u00a0RHOP\u00a0<\/em>season 9 has a lot to prove, and if its core five housewives can\u2019t get along, the series may be due for a total revamp and recasting similar to\u00a0RHONY<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Real Housewives of Potomac<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>season 9 has fired and hired several new housewives. Hopefully, Bravo will be able to save the once-legendary franchise. Will the major cast shakeup help\u00a0RHOP<\/em>? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
