While Eva seems to be against the idea of NeNe leaving the show, NeNe's nemesis on the Bravo series Kenya Moore appears to be more than happy should it happen.

AceShowbiz - The lack of NeNe Leakes' screen time in current season 12 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" sparks speculations about her being "phased out" by Bravo. NeNe has shut down the rumors, and co-star Eva Marcille has also addressed the rumors, alluding that she can't really imagine "RHOA" with NeNe.
"I pray not. I hope not. Now that would be sad. That would be a sad day for Housewives, because NeNe is NeNe," she tells HollywoodLife.com. She also notes that NeNe has been on the show "since day one," referring to first season premiere back in 2008.
"Ups, downs, and round and round, the role has seen NeNe grow and evolve, and they root for her, and they laugh, and they know her and that’s their girlfriend," Eva goes on saying. "And so I think she would be extremely missed. I don't want to see her go, because who's going to fill those kind of shoes?"
While Eva seems to be against the idea of NeNe leaving the show, NeNe's nemesis Kenya Moore appears to be more than happy should it happen. "Oh, well, I guess she'd need to ask Bravo why they're cutting her out of many episodes of this season," Kenya said during her appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" earlier this month. "I'm not the one behind the editing, you know. I'm not the one behind doing the editing."
"You're saying that she's being phased out?" Andy asked, to which Kenya responded, "I think she is. That's not something I can absolutely say. I mean, if you're being cut out of episodes, clearly the sign is...," before Andy cut her off.
"But I don't think she's being cut out of episodes because I think everything that was shot with NeNe was in the show," Andy said. "We're not cutting anything. ... I'm saying that everything shot--there's nothing that's been left out."
NeNe doubled down Andy's remarks, tweeting, "I HAVE NOT been cut out of any episodes! I negotiated my episodes just like everyone else did! I'm getting every dime i asked for! Thank you for asking and clearing that up @andy That means a lot to me."
