Call in the replacements!
After Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey’s shocking exits from Real Housewives of Atlanta, a source is spilling to OK! a familiar face could make their way back to the hit Bravo series.
“Casting producers have Claudia Jordan, 48, at the top of their list to rejoin the Real Housewives of Atlanta,” an insider dishes, adding: “With all of the recent cast changes over the last couple of weeks, they are definitely scrambling to get a big name.”
The Celebrity Apprentice alum was a series regular during the seventh season where she butted heads with then-star NeNe Leakes — who exited the series last year.
“The ratings never recovered from NeNe leaving the show and now with so many cast members leaving, they are pulling out all the stops to get great names,” the source continues.
The TV insider notes “no offers have been made yet,” the producers are compiling a wish list and “Claudia is definitely on it.” “She is constantly in the news and was a great cast member,” the source says of Jordan.
