Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross Reportedly Joins 'RHOA,' Replacing Porsha Williams & Cynthia Bailey For Season 14
It’s going down in the ATL!
After OK! spilled Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams are out for season 14, reports are surfacing Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross is being eyed as a potential castmate.
The track star is already gearing up to begin filming with the ladies, reported LOVEBSCOTT. If all goes well, and the audience takes to her, producers will crown her as a full-time cast member.
Richards-Ross is a phenom on the track, primarily in the 400-meter sprint. She was the 2012 Olympic champion, 2009 world champion, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, and 2005 world silver medalist in the sport.
Following a career-ending injury in 2016, the 36-year-old former athlete retired and joined NBC as a track and field analyst. She published her memoir, Chasing Grace: What the Quarter Mile has Taught Me about God and Life, a year later.

Dominic noted “Porsha is NOT returning,” while also revealing that Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore will be holding peaches when filming begins. Also back for the upcoming season will be Drew Sidora and fan favorite "friend of" Marlo Hampton.
Williams is reportedly receiving her own spin-off series that will center around her family and presumably life with new fiancé Simon Guobadia — ex-hubby of her former RHOA co-star Falynn Guobadia.
The 40-year-old revealed she and Guobadia got engaged earlier this year after only dating for weeks.
