Here’s What She Previously Explained When Speaking About Her Possible Return

According to Deadline, Williams joined ‘RHOA’ during its fifth season but left after season 13. In June 2023, the 42-year-old shared her thoughts on possibly returning to the reality show, per The Shade Room.

“They’ve got a lot of drama,” Williams said about the show’s most recent season while appearing on ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.’”Maybe I do need some fun.”

In July of that year, Williams elaborated further while speaking with Entertainment Tonight.

“I mean, listen, it’s so [good] to be missed. It would be bad if it’s brought up and you’re like, ‘No, she can stay where she is.’ I love that people want to see me. I love that people are still interested in my life and who I am,” she explained at the time. “I’ve never written it off, I’ve never talked down on the show. I love what the girls are doing. I love that the brand is still as strong as it was before and you just never know. I will say [that] I’ll never say ‘never.’”

Meanwhile, as Williams makes her way back on the ‘RHOA,’ fellow castmate Kandi Burruss recently announced her departure.
