Cynthia Bailey has recently addressed rumors that she may be getting fired from Bravo's
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
While sitting down on "The Wendy Williams Show" on June 24th, Cynthia joked about possibly
being unemployed soon.
As the two discussed their plans to hang out while in New York City, Cynthia told Wendy,
"Word on the street is, I may be out of a job, so I'ma need you to pay if we go to dinner."
Later, when asked who she thinks should be fired from the popular show, Cynthia hinted
at her former friend, NeNe Leakes.
Cynthia said,
"The person who wants me to be fired all the time, who actually isn't even on the show
anymore."
When Wendy asked to name that person, she explained that "her name rhymes with meany,"
most likely referring to Leakes.
"I'm not saying the name, but you know who I'm talking about."
Still, Wendy had another person in mind ... and it's none other than Cynthia.
On that same episode, Williams told Bailey why she thinks she should be fired from "The
Real Housewives of Atlanta."
In Wendy Williams' own opinion, Cynthia doesn't have any more drama to bring ... in a good
way.
Wendy told Cynthia,
"Let me tell you why, because there's nothing more exciting that you can give to us.
I don't want to see you fight, I don't want to see you get divorced, like, I think that
it's time.
The only thing is, what will you do for a paycheck?
But I was thinking, this is still a model, just like Christie Brinkley."
Although she refused to confirm whether or not she'd be returning to "Real Housewives
Of Atlanta," Cynthia admitted that working with Bravo has been great.
She said,
"I love 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
This platform has been amazing.
I have an amazing relationship with the network."
Then, she explained that no one ever wants to be fired from any job, and the best option
would be to leave when one is ready.
Cynthia continued.
"God's will, not my will, be done.
I have had an amazing run.
It's been 11 amazing years as a consistent peach-holder."
In a recent interview, Cynthia's former friend NeNe shared similar sentiments as Wendy Williams.
During a sit-down with Michelle "ATLien" Brown on June 10th, NeNe admitted that, in her opinion,
Cynthia should have left "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" many moons ago.
When Brown asked if her former friend should return to the show, NeNe replied,
"No.
I mean she shouldn't have come back many seasons ago.
I think she should have been gone, that's what my opinion is."
According to NeNe, Cynthia has already checked out, and could be planning to leave Atlanta
behind to be closer to her new husband, Mike Hill.
She continued,
"I think she is gone.
I think she'll say she moved to LA or something like that."
Later, the former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star also noted that Cynthia's storyline has
been lackluster for a while.
NeNe said,
"I wish her well and all those things but I think that if you ever followed this show
since season one, you should see the shift.
And you would look at the show and say why certain people are still here and certain
people are gone.
That tells you just a lot right there."
Though Cynthia hasn't revealed whether or not she would be returning to the upcoming
seasons of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," her social media activity speaks for itself.
As pointed out by RealHousewivesFranchise on June 22nd, it looks like Cynthia has now
removed "RHOA" from her Instagram bio.
The reality star's IG bio currently reads: "Mrs. Bailey-Hill," followed by a list of
her business endeavors.
Considering that filming for "Real Housewives" is slated to begin as early as the week of
July 9th, with reported "cast shake-ups," it doesn't seem likely that Cynthia is going
to appear on the next season.
Is a move to Los Angeles the reason Cynthia could be leaving the show?
Probably not.
Although the reality star previously discussed potentially moving out to follow her husband,
it seems she's staying in Atlanta, for now.
During her June 24th appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show," Cynthia explained how the
bi-coastal relationship is working out for them.
"I love when he leaves, and he loves when I leave.
It works, 'cause then we're happy to see each other again."
