At the time, LALATE reported that BravoTV fans would celebrate the addition, if it ever happens, because the frontrunner was a highly beloved Bravo reality TV personality. In recent days, fans have been tweeting to LALATE questions if Mariah Huq should be joining RHOA. Those tweets are now catching the attention of BravoTV. And on Friday, Andy Cohen told news that fan reaction to cast decisions have dramatically gauged casting, hirings, and firings in recent months. And now, LALATE can report that hte there is major fan movement underway urging BravoTV to cast Mariah Huq as the newest Real Housewife of Altanta.

While LALATE is not free to reveal behind the scenes details, LALATE can report that Mariah Huq fans are launching a major social media drive this week urging BravoTV to hire Huq to join TeamNeNe on RHOA 8. Huq’s allegiance with Leakes is firm. And since 2014, LALATE has been reporting that BravoTV’s newest RHOA housewife would be a Leakes ally for next season. Huq embodies everything that RHOA needs. She is beloved, she is articulate, she is an entrepreneur, housewife, and she gives testimonials better than anyone.

Over the weekend, Andy Cohen told Anderson Cooper that BravoTV does take into consideration fan reaction to casting decisions. And when asked if the network would ever consider a fan-only casting decision for a future housewife, Cohen applauded the idea.
