Drew Sidora and Shamea Morton are NOT going anywhere – and Bravo is making sure of it.
In a behind-the-scenes move that has shocked even the most loyal Housewives insiders, Andy Cohen reportedly made it his personal mission to ensure the fan-favorite duo were locked in for Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Sources tell DailyMail.com that both women have officially signed their contracts and will once again be holding their peaches – with even more screen time and storylines promised.
Insiders claim producers see Drew and Shamea as “essential to keeping the energy alive,” after a rocky few seasons that left longtime fans begging for fresh, authentic drama. With cast shakeups looming and Bravo under pressure to revive one of its most iconic franchises, locking in these two Housewives was seen as a “non-negotiable power move.”
“Andy didn’t waste a second,” one insider reveals. “He told execs, ‘We’re not losing them. Period.’”
Filming for Season 17 is already underway, and sources promise “fireworks, feuds, and fallout” as Drew and Shamea step into even bigger roles than ever before.
