NeNe Leakes Reveals She Would Return to ‘RHOA’ After Her Controversial Exit!
NeNe Leakes Reveals She Would Return to ‘RHOA’ After Her Controversial Exit!
NeNe Leakes is fueling speculation about a potential return to Real Housewives of Atlanta, sending fans into a frenzy as she hints that the right offer could bring her back to reclaim her crown.
Her departure came after failed contract negotiations ahead of Season 13, followed by a lawsuit against Bravo, Andy Cohen, NBCUniversal, and the Real Housewives of Atlanta production team, alleging racism and a hostile work environment.
NeNe eventually dropped the lawsuit in 2022, but the chances of her returning to the series seemed slim—until now.
Recently, NeNe’s response to fans’ calls for her return has shifted to a more diplomatic tone. Even Wicked superstar and Real Housewives of Atlanta fan Cynthia Erivo weighed in, expressing her love for NeNe and the show. NeNe’s response has sparked speculation that her famous line, “The door is closed,” might now be, well, open.
In a street interview with TMZ, NeNe reacted to Cynthia’s glowing remarks with gratitude. “I love her,” NeNe said. “So many people were sending it to me of what Cynthia had said. Cynthia, I love you. Thank you so much, and I totally agree.”
NeNe wasn’t surprised to hear that the Wicked star was a fan of the show, noting the series’ cultural impact.
“It was a pleasure to see that Cynthia loved The Real Housewives of Atlanta and that she particularly loved NeNe Leakes,” she added.
When asked what it would take for her to pick up a peach again, NeNe gave a candid answer. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “If the opportunity was right and the check was on point, why not?”
The The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast has been in chaos since NeNe’s exit, with OG Kandi out, newbies struggling to make waves, and Porsha making a highly anticipated comeback.
Could Season 17 see NeNe reclaim her spot in the cast? While nothing is confirmed, the reality star’s recent appearances suggest she’s open to reconciliation. In 2024, NeNe appeared on the Live From E!: Emmy After Party, a notable collaboration with NBCUniversal after her previous legal battles.
