The Real Housewives Of Atlanta as well as The Real Housewives Of Potomac historically feature all-black casts.
The only exception was RHOA’s Kim Zolciak-Biermann who left in 2012 for her own spino-ff called Don’t Be Tardy.
It had been previously reported that RHONY producers wanted to diversify the cast as TMZ reported that they also shot with Bershan Shaw but ultimately chose to go with Eboni as a full-time castmember.
