The Conversation Bad Boys Baddies Gone Wild

Baddies is an American reality television series that premiered on May 16, 2021, on the Zeus Network.[1] It is a spiritual successor to the former Oxygen series Bad Girls Club (2006–2017). The concept was derived from an ill-fated Bad Girls Club reunion on OnlyFans and subsequent episode of The Conversation that aired on Zeus in December 2020.

The show documents the interactions between several young women living together while hosting a series of promotional events, which often involve verbal and physical altercations. Many Baddies cast members were previously featured on Bad Girls Club, including executive producer Natalie Nunn. It has aired seven seasons: Baddies ATL (2021), Baddies South (2022), Baddies West (2023), Baddies East (2023–24), Baddies Caribbean (2024), Baddies Midwest (2024–25), Baddies Africa (2025), and Baddies USA (2025–26)

The series' success resulted in the spin-off Baddies Gone Wild' (2025), which featured an entirely new cast and a format reminisicent to Bad Girls Club.

Development

[edit]

Talks for a potential reboot of 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, twin sisters Gabrielle 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 online platform OnlyFans, with uncensored material made available for a particular price. The Victor sisters and Jordan eventually quit, revealed that Nunn was scamming fans, and were replaced by Tiana Small from Season 11: Miami, who later exited the project. In December 2020, Cacchilli, Nunn, Oliver, Salgado, Santiago and Sarich appeared together on an episode of The Conversation to confront their issues surrounding the OnlyFans project.

After the former Bad Girls were featured in The Conversation, it was announced that the Baddies series was picked up and in production. On February 14, 2021, Zeus Network released a teaser trailer for Baddies ATL, which would reunite several former Bad Girls Club cast members.[2]
