Eva Marcille, known for her time on The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) and as the Cycle 3 winner of America’s Next Top Model, recently expressed her thoughts on a possible return to Bravo TV during her appearance on the Getting Real With the Housewives podcast. While she remains open to the idea, she is currently focusing on scripted projects, stating, “I never say never, but I’m looking into scripted [projects]. That’s my joy … and my businesses and my babies.”
Despite stepping back from RHOA in 2020 after three seasons, Eva maintains her support for the franchise, admitting that she still enjoys watching it and considers herself a fan. Her journey on the show began as a friend in season 10, and she became a full-time cast member for seasons 12 and 13. When she departed the series, Eva explained that her decision was based on her desire to pursue other opportunities that could better serve her cultural and community goals.
In addition to her RHOA journey, Eva recently reacted to the Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, which offers a deep dive into the dynamics of the show she once starred in. She shared her astonishment when watching the series, explaining, “I was in awe. My mouth was wide open.” However, she was taken aback that neither Tyra Banks nor the production team reached out to her for an interview, a surprising oversight given her iconic status as the shortest contestant on her season.
Eva’s journey has been one of breaking barriers and redefining norms in the modeling industry, particularly as a Black woman of shorter stature. Reflecting on her victory, she noted the improbability of winning a modeling competition under those circumstances, emphasizing the significance of her achievement in a predominantly tall industry.
Fans continue to speculate about Eva’s potential return to RHOA, and her presence would undoubtedly generate excitement in the franchise. With her passion for scripted storytelling and her ongoing support for the community, it remains to be seen what the future holds for this multifaceted star.
