On the heels of Real Housewives of Atlanta speculation setting the internet ablaze, Sanya Richards-Ross is speaking out and telling fans not to pay attention to the reboot reports.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist addressed the matter on Wednesday (Aug. 30) through her Instagram Story.
Sanya shut the conversation down by stating, “Everyone rushing to report FIRST instead of reporting FACTS!”
She followed her short and sweet message by telling fans, “Just wait for it.”
Sanya’s statement follows numerous publications fueling the reboot conversation with comments from alleged “sources.”
LoveBScott got it poppin’ on Monday (Aug. 28) — just one day after the RHOA season 15 finale aired. The outlet noted that, per “a source close to production,” RHOA was set to get a complete reboot in the style of the current season of The Real Housewives of New York City. LoveBScott also reported that production wanted new women rather than returning stars like Porsha Williams and Kim Zolciak.
One day later, Entertainment Tonight shared a supposed insider’s quote: “A major shakeup is coming.”
“A major shakeup is coming to The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Before the women filmed their recent reunion, they were told that they should expect a big change with the franchise moving forward. They hinted at a reboot like New York got, but it also could be moving forward with only a couple of the current stars. The cast is on edge about their future and has no idea where the network plans to go. Although their ratings are still strong, the network is listening to fans and their desire for a change.”
However, a “second source” told ET that the network hasn’t decided on the matter.
Page Six jumped into the conversation as well, confirming one of their sources declared that “nothing official has been decided” while noting that another said casting is a bit of an obstacle.
“They haven’t found any famous people of note that want to be on the reboot, and if they can’t find any famous people that want to be on the show, then they can’t reboot the entire show.”
Meanwhile, on Wednesday (Aug. 30), theJasmineBRAND reported that only three cast members are expected to return, bringing about a revamp similar to the one The Real Housewives of Miami received in late 2021.
Despite the speculation, Sanya Richards-Ross is letting it be known that the significant decisions for next season are still up in the air.
Of course, with so many outlets fueling the RHOA rumors, the subject has steadily been discussed among RHOA fans for the past week.
Check out what various fans had to say on Twitter below.
Would you like to see RHOA get a revamp, or do you think the current cast should stay?
