We got some EXTREMELY juicy tea for you guys. Media Take Out spoke with a person close to production who told us that the new season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is going to be the BEST EVER.
According to our insider, the Bravo execs and producers are deep in contract discussions with NIA LONG. Nia has most recently been in the news, when her spiritual husband Ime Udoka was caught having multiple affairs with various White women who worked with the Boston Celtics.
The insider told Media Take Out, “Nia has been friends with Garvcelle [Beauvais] for many years, and Garcelle approached her about joining the cast.”

We’re told that Nia is asking fo THE BAG … and if she accepts, she’ll become the highest paid housewife in the franchise’s history.
So while it’s not a done deal yet … let’s all keep our fingers crossed – cause we LOVE the idea of Nia on The Housewives.
