Exclusive
The return of “The Real Housewives of Miami” will not feature the return of 2 big names from their original race – Lea Black and Joanna Krupa.
Production sources tell TMZ … the moment just doesn’t work for Lea, an OG Miami housewife, because she spends several months of the year on the opposite coast at her home in Los Angeles.
As for Joanna – who starred in seasons 2 and 3 of the show – we are told that she has no interest in returning … besides, she no longer calls Miami home. That’s what she says, telling TMZ … “In 8 years I grew a lot as a person and my priorities in life have changed mainly after having an amazing little girl. I love working, I have great and long-lasting TV shows in Poland, and continue doing other projects. “
She adds this about ‘real housewives’ … “Women need to stand up and support each other and I would never, at this point in my life, consider doing a show that causes me stress and involves me in unnecessary dramas. I wish everyone luck and a huge success that will be part of the restart. “Lea did not respond with an official word, but we know that she does not participate.
Our sources say that in the past two months, the casting producers have contacted several other former ‘RHOM’ cast members to assess their interest in the reboot … but it is shrouded in mystery who’s in and who’s out, in addition to Lea and Joanna.
Rumors are spinning Larsa Pippen may return, and there may be some notable newcomers … like Phil Collins‘ex, Orianne Cevey.
‘RHOM’ worked on Bravo for 3 seasons, starting in 2011, and although the revival was announced by Peacock last week … it is clearly a work in progress. Stay tuned!
