It’s A Wrap! NeNe Leakes Confirms She’s Not Returning To Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9
NeNe Leakes is moving on!
On Monday, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed she’s leaving the popular Bravo series on Twitter.
As reported, sitings of RHOA Season 9 filming have been posted on social media for weeks now, and NeNe has been noticeably absent. Reportedly, NeNe was too busy with her other jobs — HSN clothing line, one woman tour, a new game show and a hosting gig on Fashion Police, and RHOA producers could not depend on the reality diva to film.
NeNe denied the claim that she’s too busy to film, “LIES! I’m NEVER too busy for more work! I’ve ALWAYS supported RHOA,” she tweeted in response to TMZ’s report.

NeNe then confirmed she’s not returning for the upcoming season in a response to a tweeter inquiring, “So does that mean you’re back next season.” NeNe responded, “No but to no fault of mine.”

NeNe went on to post a cryptic message, “First they love ya, then they hate on you and try to turn others against you #iseeyouclearly #yeahYOU.” It’s not clear who she’s referring to but the speculation is Bravo and it’s producers.
