AceShowbiz - Andy Cohen has response to NeNe Leakes' recent interview, in which she appeared to hint at possible return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". When asked about the matter, the executive producer on Bravo appeared to be reluctant to say much about the matter.
In a new episode of his SiriusXM radio show "Andy Cohen Live", Andy gave insight into how "complicated" his current relationship with NeNe is. While he shared that he was in contact with NeNe since her husband Gregg Leakes' passing, Andy refused to say that topic about her coming back to the show was ever been brought up.
"What I don't want to do is get into a public thing with her," Andy said. "I think she would probably prefer that I keep her name out of my mouth and that is what I'm going to honor."
His cryptic response arrived after NeNe hinted that she might be rejoining the cast of the Bravo series with some conditions. "I'm OK with returning to the show, as long as, you know, we can work through a few things," NeNe said in the November 3 episode of "The Real". "I'm happy to return to the show and besides, I have a lot of unfinished business with a couple of them they confirmed on the show."
She went on to elaborate, "I think Andy and I were really close for a really, really long time and I love [his son, Ben] Benny Boo. I helped pay for his baby shower and all those things. I think that Andy and I need to have a sit down and talk, and then we're off to the races."
NeNe exited the show in September 2020. Addressing her departure from the hit Bravo reality TV show, she said in a YouTube video on her channel that she could not reach a deal with Bravo despite a lot of "emotional negotiations." She continued, "There's been a lot of emotions on both sides, It's been hard and I have made a hard, difficult decision to not be part of Real Housewives of Atlanta season 13. It wasn't an easy decision for me. It was hard."
NeNe also accused the network of racial discrimination. "While others were being promoted, BLACK WOMEN who created shows, created genres, built franchise and built networks were being DEMOTED," she tweeted. Additionally, she accused Andy of being the "biggest gaslighter in all the land of Housewives," before noting that "systemic racism is greater than you will ever know."
