AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes is taking her feud with "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Cynthia Bailey to another level. The 51-year-old stopped by "The Talk" on Monday, April 8, where she made a bombshell statement about Cynthia and boyfriend Mike Hill's impending engagement.

Although Mike has yet to pop the question to her, Cynthia has been announcing that she is planning on getting married within next year. Of that, NeNe said, "I would announce the same thing if I was trying to get another season on the show. Everybody has to have a storyline."

Co-host Sheryl Underwood then asked, "Are you saying [the relationship] is not real?" NeNe then cheekily replied, "I'm not saying it's not real. I'm just saying, people do anything for money, honey," earning cheers from the co-hosts and audience members.

NeNe also talked about season 11 reunion, which saw most cast members coming at her. "All the cast members know and producers know, I don't love the reunion. And it was something that I went to them and said, 'Can we have a reunion?' I basically helped create it and now I hate it…," she explained. "I know when I walk out there the gun is pointed at my head, because I am the original 'housewife.' "

When asked if she would return to the show for another season, she confidently said, "Oh yeah, this is my show. Whether they want to receive it and accept it, I started this show… The only way I don't return is if they didn't want me back."

Well, the show reportedly did want her back. "NeNe is coming back," an insider tells Radar Online. "She's had a rough season, but she is the one that Bravo wants. Unless NeNe decides on her own not to do the show, they will have her back and give her a raise."

If anyone is not returning, it may be Cynthia. "Execs are still considering firing Cynthia and bringing Marlo [Hampton] on full time," the insider continues spilling, adding that Tanya Sam is another potential full-time replacement for Cynthia.

About Tanya's potential storyline, the source shares, "She could get married and have a baby, and they would like that." As for Marlo, it is said that she is "a favorite of the network" because "she stirs the pot" in addition of being "fun" and "making for great TV."

The source further says that Kenya Moore will not return. "The executives hate Kenya still, and they know that she was trying to capitalize on her free appearance for publicity when she showed up at Cynthia's party," says the source. "Kenya is definitely never, ever, ever coming back."
