Another insider told Page Six that the next season might be jam-packed with drama, "Porsha and Candiace are expected to clash as Porsha took Monique Samuels’ side in the women’s explosive feud on 'The Real Housewives of Potomac.' There’s going to be a lot of drama to unpack there." Williams joined 'RHOA' in Season 5 and remained a popular cast member until Season 13 when she left. She then starred in 'Porsha's Family Matters,' her spinoff.
The second season of 'Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,' which was shot at Dorinda Medley's Blue Stone Manor, aired on June 23. Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge from 'Real Housewives of Orange County,' Phaedra Parks and Eva Marcille from 'RHOA,' Brandi Glanville, and co-star Taylor Armstrong from 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' and Jill Zarin from 'RHONY' were among the other cast members.

Why is Tinsley Mortimer getting replaced on 'Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' Season 3?
Tinsley Mortimer is not participating in this one. After all, she will not be appearing on Season 3 of 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip'. She was invited to come on the show a few weeks ago and was thrilled, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively on Thursday, July 14. Unfortunately, she already had plans for the summer that she couldn't change in order to participate, therefore she will not be joining the 'Girls Trip'. In June 2020, the socialite left 'The Real Housewives of New York City' in the middle of Season 12 to relocate to Chicago with her then-fiancé, Scott Kluth. The pair parted ways in March 2021.
