Kim Fields didn't fit in with the shady group of elite Southern belles on RHOA.
The Big Picture Kim Fields is a sitcom television legend. Most well known for her roles as Tootie in Facts of Life, and the ever stylish diva Regine Hunter on Living Single, Kim Fields has been a household name for decades. So, when her casting as a new housewife in the Atlanta reality series was announced, many fans were left scratching their heads. As an accomplished actor and director, she seemed to be the kind of person who rose above the drama required to sell a season of RHOA.
‘RHOA’ Kim Fields is Sitcom Royalty Kim became a household name thanks to her portrayal of the bubbly young character, Tootie. As the only Black main character in the series, Tootie became an important face for Black TV fans everywhere. In the early 90s, she joined the cast of Living Single as Regine Hunter, another iconic role on her resume.
When the season ended, so did Kim’s contract. She had fulfilled her contract to the series and had no desire to return to it. Many wondered if the drama was too much for her, as it was clear throughout the whole season that she did not want any part of what the other housewives were doing. She later shared a simple reason for leaving: she had only planned to do one season from the get go.
“It was only supposed to be a one-and-done…For me, I did what I set out to do. The mandate at that time in my career was ‘I’m celebrating 40 years in the industry.’ And so my team, I said, ‘Hey, let’s go into uncharted waters. We’re only going to do stuff we’ve never done before.’ And so they kept asking me to do reality for years and I was like, ‘No, the time is not right. It’s just too much.
So, while it seemed obvious from the footage that Kim would likely not return to the show, it was also a planned decision to only do one season. And it is highly likely that she will never return to the franchise.
