'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Stars React to Brit Eady Skipping the Season 16 Reunion in New Trailer
The first look teased how stars Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, respond to the news that castmate Brit Eady skipped the reunion
Despite Eady's absence, the cast still divulge and recall what happened between Eady and former star, Kenya MooreBrit Eady continued to surprise her The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 castmates up until the day of the reunion.
On Friday, June 27, Bravo released the first sneak preview of the upcoming three-part reunion of the hit reality series. During the quick trailer, fans got a peek at how the women reacted to fellow castmate Eady's decision to skip the reunion.
Towards the first half of the trailer, host Andy Cohen tells Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, that 'Brit Eady has decided not to join us.'
The clip then cuts to a shocked Ferrell, 40, who says, 'Wow,' while another woman is heard in the background saying, 'What?'
Eady's decision to skip the reunion followed PEOPLE's reporting on Thursday, June 5, that she and Kenya Moore would not be attending, Eady on her own volition, while Moore, 54, was not invited by Bravo to participate.
Moore was the longest running RHOA star when season 16 began filming back in April 2024. But her time in the season was cut short in June 2024, after she exposed sexually explicit photos presumed to be from Eady's past to guests at the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. She was suspended — and after an internal investigation — exited the series.
On the same day as the reunion taping, Thursday, June 5, Eady, 37, addressed her decision not to attend the reunion on her Instagram Stories, alleging that the photos Moore shared a year ago weren't of her to begin with.
'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' Eady continued in her statement. 'I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life."
During the reunion trailer, Williams, 44, seemingly acknowledges the incident and says, 'Kenya had gotten information from a current housewife about Brit's past.' Cohen, 57, then turns his attention to Ferrell and asks, 'Did you send her the pictures?' His question left Ferrell shocked and speechless.
The trailer then cuts to other moments that tease tensions between Parks, 51, and Oakley, as well as Williams and Morton Mwangi, 43, which prompts Williams to leave the reunion set.

Reggaeton artist Jhayco arrested and accused of cocaine possession in Florida
The Reggaeton musician and songwriter, Jhayco, was arrested. According to an arrest report obtained by a local NBC news station in Miami, 32-year-old Jhayco — whose real name is Jesus Manuel Nieves Cortes — was arrested on drug charges on Tuesday morning in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The report claims the songwriter was allegedly driving a red two-door Corvette that was only driving 5mph along Southwest 8th Street before 3 a.m. ET. When the vehicle then came to a complete stop and did not move for over one minute, Jhayco was pulled over by the authorities. As an officer approached the car, they said they 'smelled the strong odor of cannabis,' while the car's driver had 'white powder on his pants and white powder on his nose.' After the Reggaeton artist was allegedly unable to give the authorities a driver's license, he was asked to vacate the car, where a routine records check could not find a driver's license under his name. When the Corvette was searched, the police allegedly found two black pouches with 7 grams of suspected cannabis in each one. Upon searching Jhayco's pockets, the authorities claimed to have seen three 'clear baggies with suspect powder cocaine,' totaling about two grams. The musician was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 4:24 a.m. and was arrested and charged with cocaine possession of 20 grams or less of cannabis, with a bond set at $3,000. Deputies said Jhayco had made a spontaneous statement, which was redacted from the publicly released arrest report. No further information has been revealed at this time. Jhayco, who was born in Puerto Rico, previously performed under the stage name Jhay Cortez. In 2019, his debut album, titled Famouz, reached number five on the Top Latin Albums chart. He is most well-known for his collaborations with other Latin artists, such as Bad Bunny, and the songs 'No Me Conoce - Remix,' 'DÁKITI,' and 'CÓMO SE SIENTE.' His most recent album from September 2024 was titled Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X), which was recorded in studios across the world, including Paris, Madrid, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, and Miami.

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat
As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who's going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won't-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages the livelihoods of moviemaking creatives for good. 'I can't think of anything coming up that is bigger and more important to us right now than confronting this generative AI issue,' Cameron recently told Screendaily, as he continues work on the future of the Avatar franchise in New Zealand. 'It is critical that we master it and control it so that it remains an artistic tool and it doesn't replace artists. The idea that this technology could potentially replace actors and the unique lens that every artist brings is horrifying… The new tools have the possibility of doing great harm because they can replace an actor, or they can synthesize an actor who is dead.' Cameron has already been vocal over his concern with generative AI, leveraging his cultural history with the robo-apocalypse seen in the Terminator movies to jokingly, but not really jokingly, warn people that unchecked embrace of AI is a dangerous moment we find ourselves in—whether it's for creative or other technological purposes. 'I do think there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defense counterstrike, all that stuff,' Cameron recently told Rolling Stone. 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and superintelligence. They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time. Maybe the superintelligence is the answer. I don't know. I'm not predicting that, but it might be.' Cameron hopes that one of those threats, climate change, might be combatted in part by the legacy of the sci-fi worlds he explores in Avatar. But as for generative AI, the filmmaker does not necessarily see the technology as a threat to be destroyed—instead, to be mastered and contained before it replaces human creativity. Last year, it was announced that Cameron had joined the executive board of StabilityAI, in part to see how the intersection of AI-generated images and visual FX work could be used in filmmaking. 'I want to learn it, I want to master it for myself, then use my own best judgment about how I apply it to my personal art,' Cameron continued to Screen Daily. 'It takes me four years to make an Avatar movie, so I think about how great it would be if I could do it in three years or two years.' 'Movies are very, very expensive now, and it seems to me that the cinema is becoming less important to the world at large, which is horrifying as well after spending 42 years making movies to be seen in movie theaters,' he concluded. 'We're not seeing as many movies getting greenlit and getting made of the type that I love—the fantasy, the phantasmagorical, science fiction, big, visually opulent films.' But while Cameron is open to seeing how the technology could aid filmmakers at some point, right now, it's seemingly clear to him the current state of generative AI has no place in his creative process—it was reported earlier this year that Cameron claimed Avatar: Fire and Ash, due out later this year, will open with a title card informing the audience that no generative AI was used in the process of its creation.
