Development
Talks for a potential reboot of the Bad Girls Club came about in early 2019 when Natalie Nunn announced that a reunion special was in the works. The reunion initially included Nunn, Gabrielle Victor and Danielle Victor from Season 8: Las Vegas, Christina Salgado and Erika “Lucci Vee” Jordan from Season 9: Mexico, Raquel "Rocky" Santiago and Shannon Sarich from Season 10: Atlanta, Sarah Oliver from Season 11: Miami, and Jada Cacchilli from Season 12: Chicago. The plan also included Tanisha Thomas from season 2, despite production disputes with Nunn.
The reunion was initially developed for release on the adult platform OnlyFans, with uncensored material made available for a particular price. Gabrielle, Danielle and Erika eventually quit and were replaced by Tiana Small from Season 11: Miami.
In December 2020, Natalie, Christina, Rocky, Shannon, Sarah and Jada appeared together on an episode of The Conversation to confront their issues surrounding the OnlyFans project. On February 14, 2021, Zeus Network released a teaser trailer for Baddies ATL, which would reunite several former Bad Girls Club cast members.[2]
