Cynthia Bailey's fate on The Real Housewives of Atlanta seems to be in question.
Speculation about whether the 54-year-old newlywed would return in a full-time position for Season 14 of the Bravo franchise began a few weeks back, but now that Mrs. Mike Hill has removed "RHOA" from her Instagram bio, fans seem to think she's been all the way axed.
"Cynthia Bailey will be on Wendy Williams this week and hopefully shes announcing she wont be returning," tweeted one fan who wouldn't be sad to see her go. "Fingers crossed. Old woman river needs to go be boring and happy with her husband."
Indeed, Bailey will be on The Wendy Williams Show on Thursday, so stay tuned for that!
While "50 Cynt" stans praise the mother of one for being relatively unproblematic, other fans of the show consider that very quality to be flat-out boring.
As one Twitter user put it, "Lake Bailey has been a better cast-member than Cynthia Bailey."
Lake Bailey is the tranquil abode Cynthia purchased following her divorce from her first husband, Peter Thomas, back in 2016.
She went on to marry Los Angeles-based sportscaster Mike Hill on October 20, 2020 – a date the Seagram's Escapes Peach Bellini touter was not willing to give up, despite the nationwide shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"I know y'all ain't fake mourning Cynthia. She's been phoning it in for years at this point," tweeted another 50 Cynt critic. "She's been acting like a friend of the show for years. It's time. ... Cynthia hasn't added to a scene in years."
The same person later wondered, "Matta fact - I wonder if that's why she was so stressed about the wedding. She probably knew it was her big sendoff and didn't want it half-assed."
But not everyone is "fake mourning" Bailey's potential departure. As one fan put it, "I don't care if she doesn't bring drama. She's a vibrant gentle soul and she doesn't deserve all the hate she gets imo [in my opinion]. She is a QUEEN."
