Keiarna Stewart is rumored to be getting upgraded to a full-time cast member for season 9 of RHOP.
Bravo is looking to fill some holes in the RHOP season 9 cast amid Candiace Dillard and Robyn Dixon’s departures from the series.
And it seems that casting doesn’t have to look too far to fill one of those spots.
RHOP friend of Keiarna Stewart is reportedly set to be upgraded to a full-time cast member for season 9.
“The viewer reaction has been very positive for Keiarna since being on the show and she is in the box seat to be casted full time next season,” a source said per The Zone on Instagram. “It makes sense to upgrade her after Season 8.”
If you recall, Keiarna got into an ugly physical altercation with Ashley Darby’s friend Deborah Williams at Zebbie’s Garden in Washington, D.C., in July 2023 while filming season 8. The knockout, drag-out drama played out in the Real Housewives of Potomac season 8 finale.
If this news is true, Bravo will still need to fill the Louboutins of two more Potomac Housewives for season 9 as TheJasmineBRAND reports that Nneka Ihim has also been let go from the hit Bravo show amid a rumored cast shake-up.
Nneka recently played coy about her future on the Potomac Housewives franchise but encouraged fans to follow her on social media and watch that space for forthcoming details.
Robyn Dixon recently confirmed that she was fired from the franchise after 8 seasons, while Candiace Dillard announced her exit from the franchise in late March after becoming pregnant with her first child.
With Robyn, Candiace, and possibly Nneka gone for season 9, the remaining RHOP cast would consist of Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, and some new, fresh faces.
The Real Housewives of Potomac is expected to return for season 9 in early 2025.
