Many former cast members appear in cameos throughout the season; original cast members, DeShawn Snow, Lisa Wu and Kim Zolciak returned in guest capacities, along with long-time housewife, Cynthia Bailey.

In the original airing of "Rap Sheets and Old Beefs," a flashback to Season 4 is preceded by the title card featuring the cast at the time. NeNe Leakes is absent from the image, being edited out due to legal issues between her and the Bravo network.^[4] Backlash from viewers resulted in the episode being removed from streaming services and re-edited.
