Claudia Jordan Denies RHOA Firing, Says Lack Of A Pick-Up Letter Doesn’t Mean She’s Not Returning To Show

Is Claudia sticking around!? Reports have been swirling for weeks that Claudia Jordan was axed from The Real Housewives of Atlanta after just one season on the show. But while attending Essence Festival 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana, over Fourth of July weekend, the radio host turned reality star hinted that she still may have a future on the show.
"No one called and said, 'Hey, it's a wrap.' It didn't happen," Jordan told People after serving on a panel at Essence Fest. However, she did admit that she had not yet been asked to return to the show. “Now, have I gotten my pick-up letter yet? No, I have not," Jordan said.
She went on to reveal that she actually didn’t learn of her role as a full-time housewife for the show’s seventh season until last September, just one month before Bravo gave the official cast announcement for RHOA’s Season 7.
Jordan and her good friend and fellow RHOA newbie Demetria McKinney are both rumored to be leaving RHOA ahead of Season 8.

However, a source told RadarOnline.com that Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams are all coming back for Season 8.
With her laid-back personality and ability to silence her most castmates -- specifically NeNe Leakes -- many RHOA fans were surprised that Jordan has reportedly not been asked back for another season. There were even rumors that Leakes may have played a role in getting Jordan fired from the show!
But Jordan told People that she isn’t worried at all if her time on RHOA is up! "I'm okay with it being the end of the road if it is, but you never know! It's not over ’til the fat lady sings, and I haven't heard her sing yet,” she said. Do you think Claudia would be a good addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s eight season?
