ATLANTA — Sanya Richards-Ross, the first Olympian ever on a “Real Housewives” franchise, survived one full season of the Atlanta version last year and was invited back for a second one.
Season 15 of the Bravo staple returned earlier this month and Richards-Ross hosted the first big party of the season, the 40th birthday shindig for her husband Aaron on which she spent $100,000, $60,000 more than budgeted. (She was not the nexus of controversy at said party. Kandi Burruss got angry with a young newcomer Courtney Rhodes who came in hot at Burruss with too much attitude.)
“This season is a lot of fun but very explosive,” Richards-Ross promised in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Last season we were resetting a lot. There were changes in the cast. This season it feels like we have really settled in. I feel like I’m fitting into the group. And I have a lot going on with my family.”
