The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion is about to get even more dramatic, and fans are already buzzing about Brit Eady’s surprising decision to skip the reunion.
Bravo released the first teaser for the highly anticipated three-part reunion on June 27, giving a sneak peek of how the castmates reacted to Eady’s absence, and it’s clear this season’s finale will be packed with tension.
Eady’s Decision to Skip the Reunion
In the reunion trailer, host Andy Cohen breaks the news to the ladies that Brit Eady, one of the season’s standout cast members, will not be attending the reunion. “Brit Eady has decided not to join us,” Cohen informs Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley, and Cynthia Bailey.
The trailer cuts to the reactions of the women, with Kelli Ferrell, 40, responding with a shocked, “Wow.” Another voice in the background is heard saying, “What?” Clearly, Eady’s absence caught everyone by surprise.
Eady’s choice to skip the reunion comes after it was revealed in early June that she and Kenya Moore would not be attending. Eady’s absence was her own decision, while Moore, who had been a fixture on the show for years, was not invited by Bravo following her suspension from the series in June 2024.
Moore was suspended after sharing sexually explicit photos at the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa, which were believed to be of Eady. After an internal investigation, Moore exited the show.
Eady’s Statement About the Photos
On the same day as the reunion taping, Eady addressed her decision on her Instagram Stories, claiming the photos Moore shared were not of her. “I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,” Eady wrote. She added that she looks forward to seeking accountability and moving past this “dark part” of her life.
Shocking Reunion Revelations
The reunion trailer doesn’t hold back, with the drama continuing to unfold between the women. In one intense moment, Porsha Williams, 44, seems to confirm the accusations, saying, “Kenya had gotten information from a current housewife about Brit’s past.”
Cohen then turns to Kelli Ferrell, 40, and asks, “Did you send her the pictures?” Ferrell is left speechless, and the tension in the room is palpable.
The reunion trailer also teases more conflicts, including rising tensions between Phaedra Parks, 51, and Angela Oakley, as well as between Williams and Shamea Morton Mwangi, 43. At one point, Williams is seen storming off the reunion set, clearly fed up with the drama.
When to Watch the Reunion
The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion will air in three parts, with the first episode scheduled for July 13, followed by the second on July 20, and the final part on July 27. The show airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and will be available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
With Brit Eady skipping the reunion and tensions running high among the cast, the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion promises to be one of the most dramatic yet.
