Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey appeared on The Wendy Williams Show Thursday covering everything from her daughter Noelle not being in college to an alleged cast shake up. The cast shake up was touched on and Bailey hinted at first in a joking manner that it might be her on the outs.
Williams started the segment by saying she and Bailey were “going to light New York on fire!” Bailey responded saying, You’re paying, right? Word on the street is I may be out of a job, so I’m going to need you to pay if we’re gonna go to dinner!” Williams flipped the script on the convo saying she actually wanted her gone.. but because she’s happy for where she is in life now.
“There’s nothing more exciting that you can give to us,” Williams told the model and reality tv star. “I don’t want to see you fight. I don’t want to see you get divorced. Like, I think that it’s time,” she explained. “The only thing then is what will you do for a paycheck? But I was thinking, ‘This is still a model, just like Christie Brinkley!’ You can model.”
Bailey responded saying, “I love The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” she responded. “This platform has been amazing. I have an amazing relationship with the network. Bravo has been good to me.”
“Here’s the thing, nobody really wants to be fired,” Bailey continued. “I mean, my first job was Taco Bell. I wouldn’t want to be fired from there. I would want the option to leave if I wanted to go. God’s will, not my will, be done. I have had an amazing run. It’s been 11 amazing years as a consistent peach-holder.”
When pushed about who she wanted out of the show, she said, “The person who wants me to be fired all the time, who actually isn’t even on the show anymore. Her name rhymes with meany,” Bailey said, loosely referring to NeNe Leakes who’s currently not on the show but rumored to be coming back soon. We’ll add that the last time we heard Bailey speak about Leakes, she had generally good things to say so it looks like all bets are off with that. Leakes must have still been pushing to get her off of the show.
