As regular readers of TV Deets are aware, we were the first to tell you that production on RHOP Season 8 officially started on April 11, the first to report Nneka’s casting, and we also revealed that the first cast trip of Season 8 was to Texas.

Meet new Housewife Nneka Ihim
As previously reported, Nneka Ihim is joining the cast of RHOP Season 8 as a full-time Housewife and will be on the Dominican Republic trip.
Born in Boston but a Nigerian at heart, Nneka is a licensed attorney specializing in financial technology and has quite the entrepreneurial spirit as the owner of her own champagne line, our insiders confirm.
She is a graduate of both the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin Law School and is the daughter of well-known interventional cardiologist and philanthropist Leo Egbujiobi.
Outside of her work as an attorney, she also briefly worked as a correspondent for CNN. Nneka lives in Potomac proper and is married to Dr. Ikenna Ihim, a medical doctor and night lounge investor. She will be introduced to the women via Ashley Darby and made her first appearance at Ashley’s housewarming party, our sources confirm.
While Charrisse Jackson Jordan was present at Ashley’s housewarming, she is not expected to return as an official cast member. Jacqueline Blake — who was introduced as a friend of Mia’s last season — is out and will not be returning in an official capacity, either.
The Real Housewives of Potomac is currently in production on Season 8 and is expected to return to Bravo later this year.
