Season 10 of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” concluded in March 2026 with its usual three-part reunion. The cast included Stacey Rusch, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, Keiarna Stewart, Tia Glover, and Angel Massie as full-time housewives. Monique Samuels and Jassi Rideaux were included as friends of the show, and original cast member Karen Huger appeared at the reunion.
Now, a new report says almost half the cast is set to depart before filming begins for season 11, following fans’ demands for a major shakeup.
A New Report Says Multiple ‘RHOP’ Cast Members Are Leaving
A popular Instagram account, Mr. Housewives, posted on March 13 to share that they’d received intel about season 11 of “The Real Housewives of Potomac.” The caption of the post read, “Well, here’s a rumor that was sent to me. Apparently, RHOP is going through a huge cast shakeup for Season 11. I received a random DM explaining the alleged casting changes.”
The person behind the account went on to say, “While it’s interesting… I honestly don’t believe it. But you never know.”
From there, the Mr. Housewives account shared that Darby, Stewart, and Massie had been fired from the hit Bravo series. The report also says that Osefo, who is currently embroiled in her insurance fraud case, decided to quit the show.
The Report Also Names Which ‘RHOP’ Stars May Stay Or Return
The rumored casting for “RHOP” season 11 includes Rusch, Bryant, Glover, Samuels, and Rideaux. Additionally, it says that Huger will return after being absent from the show during season 10 due to serving time for her fourth alcohol-related driving offense.
That’s not all; the report then says that former “RHOP” star Robyn Dixon will be returning for season 11. Notably, she was fired from the show before filming season 9 began. After that, it was rumored that she was offered a friend-of-the-show role for season 10 but declined.
‘Potomac’ Fans Are Weighing In On The Season 11 Casting Report
As mentioned, Mr. Real Housewives expressed that he didn’t think the report was true but admitted that anything was possible. Regarding some of his thoughts, he questions Osefo’s alleged quitting: “Why would Wendy quit when we all know Bravo’s check probably helps with those legal fees?”
The account then said, “Honestly, I say bring back the entire Season 10 cast. That group was entertaining and proved something very important: RHOP can survive without Karen Huger.”
Regarding fan reaction, one person said, “We knew Stacey was coming back, and I don’t believe Ashley is fired, but we’ll see!” Someone else said, “Please fire Ashley, and hell no to Robyn.”
Lastly, a different fan wrote, “I wouldn’t have Karen returning, but I agree with the rest so much!!!”
When Will Filming For ‘RHOP’ Season 11 Begin
Bravo has not confirmed the casting or filming schedule for “Real Housewives of Potomac” season 11. However, based on past trends, production should begin either in late March or early April. This is evidenced in part by TV Deets’ March 2025 report that filming for season 10 had been delayed due to Huger’s legal situation, after production was supposed to begin that month.
After that, filming reportedly began in May 2025 ahead of the show’s October premiere. Per PEOPLE, it was then announced in June 2025 that Samuels was set to return as a friend of the show after leaving in 2020 and vowing in various interviews that she wouldn’t.
It’s also worth noting that Bravo didn’t confirm the “RHOP” season 10 cast until August 2025, so it may be some time before fans have the official word.
Why Wendy Osefo May Not Return
According to PEOPLE, Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested on October 10 on several counts of insurance fraud. The charges stemmed from their reported 2024 home break-in, during which they reported numerous luxury items as stolen, but were later accused of having returned some of those items before filing the report.
Because of this, many “RHOP” fans have wondered if she may decide to temporarily leave the show while dealing with her court case and any ramifications that may follow. Notably, she and her husband will be tried separately, and they have another hearing, a status conference, on May 20.
