The RHOP cast is now down THREE Housewives for season 9 amid reports that Nneka Ihim has been fired from the series ahead of season 9.
TheJasmineBRAND reports that Nneka has been let go from the hit Bravo show amid a rumored cast shake-up.
The RHOP newbie has yet to confirm or deny the reports.
This news comes fresh off the heels of Robyn Dixon announcing that she was fired from the series after 8 seasons.
“Yes, I will not be returning for season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac,” the 45-year-old RHOP star said in a statement. “It’s reality. The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words. I will not sugar-coat the situation the situation and say, ‘Ooh I am walking away and this is a break’ or anything like this. This is a network decision.”
“I’m okay with it because nothing lasts forever. I’ve had a very long run on the show, and I just really appreciate that time and the opportunity that I had on the show,” she said, before thanking Bravo and Truly Original, the production company behind RHOP.
“Thank you to the fans who have watched us from day 1,” she continued. “I do want to especially thank all of the fans and viewers who have supported me, showed loved to me. Whether you directly sent me love or you prayed for me or you have positive thoughts around me, I appreciate you. And I hope I inspired you the viewers, the fans, to live your life authentically. To not feel pressure to change for anyone, or impress people, and just to be yourself.”
Candiace Dillard also announced her exit from the series in March. It’s unclear if she was fired or left RHOP on her own accord.
The 37-year-old revealed her departure from RHOP on March 25 via a statement to PEOPLE.
“As I embark on a new chapter after six remarkable years with The Real Housewives of Potomac, I am filled with gratitude for the enriching friendships, personal growth and moments of introspection that have defined this journey,” Candiace said in a statement. ”With a whirlwind of new opportunities and responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take a break from RHOP.”
With Robyn, Candiace, and Nneka gone the remaining RHOP cast would consist of Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Ashley Darby, and Wendy Osefo.
The Real Housewives of Potomac is expected to return for season 9 in early 2025.
