The insider also revealed that the stars have reportedly already been filmed packing their suitcases and will get on their flights on Thursday. 

Another source told Page Six that the new season might be packed with quite a bit of drama: 'Porsha and Candiace are expected to clash as Porsha took Monique Samuels’ side in the women’s explosive feud on The Real Housewives of Potomac. There’s going to be a lot of drama to unpack there.'
