Kim Fields Joins “Real Housewives of Atlanta”
Published at | Updated at
Mark Hill/Bravo(ATLANTA) — After months of speculation, it’s official: Kim Fields is joining the cast of Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The Facts of Life star appears in a new teaser for the upcoming season. From the looks of things, the actress-turned-director is diving right in.
In the sneak peek, a blonde Fields can be seen greeting her fellow housewives with a “Hello darlings,” dishing advice, telling fellow housewife Phaedra Parks that “your husband can’t be your best friend” and even breaking down into tears.
Still, she seems shocked by some of her castmates. “Are we grown-a** women talking like this?” she says in one clip.
Rumors first surfaced in July that Fields would be joining the show. The star called the speculation “intriguing,” but her rep told ABC News at the time that there was “actually no deal.”
Fields comes on board following the departure of original cast member NeNe Leakes and the return of Sheree Whitfield after a three-year hiatus. She’ll be joined by show vets Parks, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Porsha Willams and mom-to-be Kandi Burruss, as well as fellow newcomer Shamea Morton.
The new season premieres on Bravo Nov. 8.
