Tamar Braxton has no interest in the drama of “Real Housewives.” The 47-year-old singer recently revealed that she turned down an offer to join “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In an interview on Carlos King’s “Reality with the King” podcast, Braxton explained, “There’s just no way I’m going to sit and get a wig put on and get my face beat to argue with a bunch of bitches about nothing.” She emphasized that she values her mental health and doesn’t want to contribute to negative portrayals of Black women on television. Instead, Braxton is focused on creating uplifting and entertaining content.
Despite declining the opportunity, Braxton expressed her continued support for the show. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” recently underwent some changes, with the addition of new cast members for Season 16. Porsha Williams will be returning, along with newcomers Brittany Eady, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and Shamea Morton Mwangi. Kenya Moore and Drew Sidora will also be back as returning cast members, while Cynthia Bailey will make appearances as a friend of the housewives.
However, according to Braxton and podcast host Carlos King, the key to saving the show lies in bringing back original cast members. King suggested that the show should focus on bringing back Nene Leakes, who left in September 2020. He also speculated on why Kim Zolciak hasn’t returned as a full-time housewife, suggesting that she no longer has a strong connection with the other women. King believes that the best seasons of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” were Season 6 and Season 9.
In conclusion, Tamar Braxton has chosen to steer clear of the drama on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” She believes that participating in arguments with other women on television does not benefit her life or mental well-being. Instead, she is dedicated to creating positive and relatable content. While she remains a fan of the show, Braxton and podcast host Carlos King believe that bringing back original cast members like Nene Leakes is the key to revitalizing “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
