‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Cast NeNe Leakes Says She Won't Be Coming Back for Next Season's Show, Again
NeNe Leakes may not be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta next season, if there will still be an eighth season. Her Bravo producers would love her to be back on the show but can't meet her "unrealistic" demands according to Media Take Out. "Not only did she want a raise, but she wanted to have a say on who she filmed with, and other crazy stuff," a source reportedly told the gossip.
NeNe herself have long wanted to quit her gig at The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She hates her fellow 'housewives' and they hate her back. She keeps saying each season that it will be her last but she's now the last remaining original member of the RHOA cast. In an interview at Sway in the Morning at Sirius XM [via Inquisitr], NeNe admitted: "I always have one foot in and one foot out. I quit every year, and still end up back on the show. The show is an amazing platform, let me say that, but it is very difficult when you do all of these different things and then you go and sit with these girls and they be side-eyeing you like, 'Why they pick her? Why is she on Broadway?' It makes it very difficult to go to work with them every day because they be looking at you crazy."
A gossip picked up by Classicalite has it that if NeNe again decides to renege on her promises to leave the show, "a majority of the ladies from the series are campaigning behind-the-scenes to make sure that the Glee star is fired." According to the site, "word has it that Kenya Moore, Claudia Jordan, Cynthia Bailey, Demetria McKinney and even Kandi Burruss have all banded together to try to force the network into letting Leakes go, since she never seems to follow through on her threats to walk away from the show that originally made her famous."
