The return of ‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ does not include the return of two big names from the original series – Lea Swart and Joanna Krupa.
Production sources tell TMZ … the timing simply does not work out for Lea, a housewife in Miami, because she spends a few months of the year on the opposite coast at her home in LA.
As for Joanna – who played in seasons 2 and 3 of the show – we are told that she has no interest in coming back … and she does not call Miami home anymore. She says so much herself and tells TMZ … “In 8 years I have grown a lot as a person and my priorities in life have changed especially after I had an amazing daughter. I love working, I have wonderful and long-running TV shows in Poland, and continues to do other projects. ‘
She adds this about ‘Real Housewives’ … “Women need to uplift and support each other, and I will never at this point in my life consider doing a show that will cause me tension and involve unnecessary drama. I wish everyone luck and great success that will be part of the recharge. ”Lea did not return with official words, but we know she is not participating in it.
According to our sources, casting producers have released several other former members of the ‘RHOM’ group over the past few months to determine their interest in the recharge … but it is shrouded in secrecy who is there and who is there, besides Lea and Joanna.
Rumor has it Larsa Pippen may return, and there may be some notable newcomers … such as Phil Collins‘ex, Orianne Cevey.
‘RHOM’ left Bravo in 2011 for three seasons, and although the revival was announced by Peacock last week … it’s clear it’s still working. Stay tuned!
