The cast can't choose to not film with people that Bravo wants on the show. Either they film, or quit.
The cast is not in any position to tell Bravo who they won't film with. That's why I mentioned Kandi. She wouldn't have filmed with Porsha just a couple of weeks after the season 9 reunion if that were the case. They told her to get over it.
LVP refused to film, but that was in the middle of the season and she eventually just quit the show after being done with the cast.
Bravo ain't capitulating for Candiace. She is dispensable, especially now that most of social media has sided with Monique. She also just bought a house and has an unemployed husband. She would have shown up to work and clocked in like everyone else.
I don't even recall the rest of the cast refusing to film with her, not even Gizelle. Gizelle probably would have had her armed guards in tow
, but she would be there. The others have no reason not to film with her.
