AceShowbiz - Nene Leakes is open to returning to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA) franchise. During a recent interview with TMZ, Leakes responded to a request from "RHOA" superfan Cynthia Erivo to bring her back to the show.
"Cynthia, I love you, and I totally agree," Leakes told the outlet. When prompted about the possibility of a return, Leakes expanded, "If the opportunity was right and the check was on point, why not?"
Leakes, a fan-favorite, joined the original cast of "RHOA" in 2008 and appeared in the first seven seasons. She left the show after season 7 but made a cameo in season 8 and returned for seasons 10 and 12 before departing permanently in 2020.
Celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Colman Domingo, Jon Hamm, and Jessica Chastain are known to be ardent "Real Housewives" enthusiasts, which Leakes noted. Rihanna once wore a streetwear item from "RHOA" star Leah McSweeney's line.
Despite her recent departure, Leakes remains fond of her time on "RHOA." She has alluded to a turbulent contract negotiation with Bravo, which resulted in her decision to leave the show.
Leakes' return would undoubtedly generate excitement among "RHOA" fans. Her presence would add a unique and dynamic element to the show, making a comeback a highly anticipated possibility.
