Amidst the roster changes, Cynthia Bailey, an original cast member who bid adieu to the show in 2021, is set to make a return in season 16 as a “friend” of the Housewives. Reflecting on her comeback, Cynthia shared her feelings of both excitement and apprehension. “Honestly, there was a little trepidation about it only because I’m just in such a calm time in my life,” Cynthia revealed to Us at the event held at the Godfrey Hotel Hollywood. “I’m older and definitely one of the older ladies on the show. I just do me and choose love and peace.”

Despite her desire for tranquility, Cynthia acknowledges the inevitability of drama within the Housewives universe. “I don’t really want a lot of drama in my life. However, I do have a lot of history with some of the ladies that are still on the show and just with the show in general. So I feel like at this point, I can hopefully navigate the roads carefully. I’m just excited to see Atlanta back on top again,” she added.

Cynthia Bailey, known for her bicoastal lifestyle split between Los Angeles and Atlanta, shares a storied history with fellow Housewife Kenya, 53. The duo found themselves at odds during the airing of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls’ Trip season 1 in 2021.

Reflecting on their journey, Cynthia assured, “We’re good. We made it past Girls Trip.” She candidly admitted to initiating a break from Kenya following the tumultuous trip. “We took a break from each other, a break that I definitely initiated because I was not happy after the Girls Trip. We’re good. We respect each other’s friendship boundaries. I love her always and we’re in a great space.”

As Cynthia delves back into the Atlanta scene for RHOA filming, she reveals a shift in her focus. “I do spend most of my time about 50-50,” she shared, hinting at a recommitment to her roots amidst her bi-coastal lifestyle. With her sights set on Atlanta once more, fans can anticipate the drama and camaraderie that only Cynthia and her fellow Housewives can deliver.
