'RHOA' Season 12 Reunion Is Going Virtual, Andy Cohen Confirms

'RHOA' Season 12 Reunion Is Going Virtual, Andy Cohen Confirms

04/07/2020

Andy Cohen has confirmed what Kandi Burruss teased last week, the season 12 reunion of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is going to be virtual. Due to the health crisis the world is living, production decided that the best way to do the TV special was through a video call. Filming for the reunion had been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak and after the “shelter in place” guidelines by the government.

What did Andy Cohen say?

It was on his SiriusXM show that Cohen confirmed the news.

“We are going to be shooting the Housewives of Atlanta Reunion virtually,” Cohen confirmed on Andy Cohen Live. “This is obviously not how we prefer to do it, but life is not how we prefer it right now.”

Cohen also said that although he loves to visit the peaches in Atlanta, this was not going to be possible this year.

“We want to be in the same room, but we cannot risk the health and safety of the Housewives or the incredible crew in Georgia,” he added. “[RHOA] is regarded by many as the Super Bowl of reunion shows, and it is truly one of my favorite reunions to shoot, I look forward to it, and the fact of the matter is it’s either we do it this way or there’s no Super Bowl this year.”

The Watch What Happens Live host also said it was not an option to wait for the pandemic to be over as it would delay everything even further.

“If we wait for this pandemic to be over for when we all are in the same room, it’s gonna delay everything,” Cohen continued. “We need to move forward, we need to live in reality right now, and the reality is if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do this right now.”

Nene Leakes is ready for the reunion

One peach that is all fired up for the reunion is Leakes, who has a lot to say. The Glee alum struggled with some of the ladies this season as she was at odds with most of them. Although she managed to repair some friendships, her feud with Kenya Moore only escalated.

“These girls … they’re gonna get it, let me tell you. This isn’t a threat, it’s a promise,” Leakes teased during an interview with People.

Leakes said she would not stand by and was going to show all of them who was the queen of RHOA.

“I’m going to be beat from head to toe while I do it, sitting there with a full face, wig, dress, high heels this tall, looking fabulous, and tearing the house down,” Leakes continued. “I’m going to get these girls and do it very good and walk right on out and sleep just fine. Is my money in my account? Thank you. The queen is here, you can never wear the crown. They’re all wearing tiaras.”

Leakes also recently picked up a feud with co-star Eva Marcille after she suggested she would be cut from the reality series.

“We have a great cast right now except for one person, I think,” Leakes told Entertainment Tonight. “I think only one person on this cast doesn’t seem to have carried any weight this season. And I think that’s very obvious who that person is, and I don’t think they actually sit in the cast that well.”

The “tastiest peach” feels that Marcille didn’t bring “that much to the cast.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
