Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss and Braxton Family Values’ Tamar Braxton have been cast on the new season of Celebrity Big Brother, both reality stars announced via social media.
Burruss made the announcement on Instagram and uploaded a more detailed video to YouTube soon after.
“I really don’t know what I’m getting myself into. It was a quick decision that was made to put me on the show, so I really haven’t had any time to prepare. I hope I get along with people in the house, and I hope I win!”
Burruss continued, “At the same time, I just hope I don’t go crazy in there, because at the end of the day, they’re going to take my social media away, lord have mercy! You know how I’m addicted, but I guess I needed this break because Todd always tells me I’m on social media too much.”

Us Weekly reports Burruss and Braxton will be joining housemates Jonathan Bennett, Tom Green, Lolo Jones, Kato Kaelin, Joey Lawrence, Ryan Lochte, Dina Lohan, Natalie Eva Marie, Anthony Scaramucci and Ricky Williams.
The spin-off of the CBS staple will see its famous cast cut off from the outside world as they engage in a slew of competitions for the $250,000 grand prize.
