Most people agree (even the execs at Bravo) that Real Housewives of Atlanta has been stumbling for some time. Even the cast is aware that Season 15 didn’t net the viewership that they might’ve hoped.

Ever since Season 15’s lower ratings became public, many fans have speculated on and pushed for a full RHOA cast reboot, ala Real Housewives of New York. Of course, that wouldn’t serve the current Atlanta cast all too well.

A full reboot would be especially unfortunate for Sanya Richards-Ross, who only joined the show in Season 14. But any potential fear of a reboot hasn’t stopped Sanya from voicing her thoughts on the matter.

Sanya will “love the show” whether there’s a RHOA reboot or not

Sanya spoke with TheWrap at BravoCon 2023 about the potential for a reboot. “Listen, I’ve heard the fans as well, right?” she shared. “But I think the biggest complaint the fans have had is the nostalgia of having women who have really good friendships. And so unless they’re going to find a whole new friend group, I think that takes some time.”

She continued. “I think with Drew [Sidora] and I being new to the cast, it took two years where I finally developed a real friendship with the ladies, and I think we can build a great show.” She added her desire to finish her pregnancy journey: “I would love to see the happy ending of the story because … [it’s] a really beautiful story that a lot of people across the world can relate to.”

However, Sanya added that she knew she was at the mercy of Bravo. “I would love to continue filming and being a part of the community. I love the Bravo universe. It’s wonderful. But the experts gotta do their job, they gotta cast who they think is best. Whatever happens, I’m always going to love the show and support the show.”

Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd Legal Troubles: Accused of Refusing To Pay $490K Settlement

Not everything is sunshine and lollipops for Lisa Vanderpump. Her long-running spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, might be killing it in terms of ratings and public discourse. Unfortunately for her, the money the show brings in now has to be paid out.

In August 2020, a former PUMP employee sued Lisa, her husband, Ken Todd, and Pump LLC for failure to pay overtime wages. Moreover, the lawsuit included in its accusations a failure to provide meal periods, failure to pay wages at termination, and violation of labor codes, among others.

Now, three years later, The U.S. Sun has come out with an update to the case. The Sun obtained court documents claiming that the defendants had not yet paid any agreed-upon settlement money in the class action lawsuit. See the details below.

Do Lisa and Ken feel they’re “above the law?”

According to the court documents, the plaintiff, Ernest R. Bennick, acted for himself and other employees in his situation. In August 2023, Bennick filed a motion for a preliminary approval of the settlement amount – $490,000. The gross included over $171,000 in reasonable attorney fees and a $7.5k service award for Bennick’s “extensive efforts in prosecuting this case.”

On October 23, Lisa’s attorneys filed a response to the settlement agreement: “The Company does not intend to perform the terms of the mediated settlement agreement, but would be willing to discuss alternatives with Plaintiff’s counsel.”

Lisa’s attorney also brought up PUMP’s closure, spurred on by “on-going back rent and future rent issues with the restaurant’s landlord, coupled with the Covid-19 closure period and an overall downturn in business.” As such, the company had no assets remaining, on top of negotiating previously owed rent payments with other renters.

The plaintiff responded on October 30, slamming the claims of no remaining assets. “Defendants omit the fact that the restaurant re-opened in or around August 2023, at a new location,” Bennick’s team alleged. Bennick also accused Ken of feeling “Above the law.” As of now, Lisa, Ken, and Pump LLC have signed an enforceable Settlement Agreement.

Vanderpump Rules returns to Bravo in January 2024.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky Don’t Have Divorce Lawyers ‘Yet’

Despite the rumors and pictures floating around of Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade, and Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater, that’s not enough for either of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars to get a divorce lawyer.

For context, the Bravosphere has been a fu*king mess since news of Kyle and Mo’s divorce separation hit the streets. It came out of nowhere — just like a few of the other Bravo splits this year — and RHOBH fans are desperate for this couple of 26 years to make it work. 

Kyle and Mo have shared a few details about the conflict in their marriage. Mainly citing a difficult year. But why exactly? We still don’t know. However, we’re hoping the ladies (Sutton Stracke) will get to the bottom of it during this year’s RHOBH. On the other hand, we do know that neither Kyle nor Mo has called divorce lawyers amid this mess.

Kyle and Mauricio have tried their hardest to keep this story under wraps for the sake of their family. Sources close to the couple shared with Us Weekly they aren’t rushing to sign divorce papers if it’ll cause more chaos in their home. 

“Kyle and Mauricio have not hired attorneys, nor have either of them filed yet,” the source revealed. “While they are separated, they want to keep their lives as normal as possible for the kids.”

From the sounds of it, their split hasn’t been nearly as dramatic as Kyle’s Real Housewives sister Kim Zolciak. The source shared the pair have no hard feelings or ill wishes toward the other. 

“When and if they do decide to file, neither of them will be bitter or coming after the other,” they said. “Neither of them wants a long and vengeful divorce.”

While at BravoCon, Kyle slipped and used the word “divorce” when speaking about her current state with Mo. It gained attention, but before it could get out of control, Kyle addressed it on Watch What Happens Live. 

“I misspoke on the red carpet today,” she began. “Two times, I had to correct someone when they said ‘divorce.’ I said, ‘separated.’ And then I went and said it, and then it went everywhere. So, that was my bad.” 

The Halloween star said she and Mo are “still amicable” and noted their marriage is “a success” despite the chaos surrounding their union. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
