Bravo ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Spoilers: Was NeNe Leakes Pushed Out From The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
As many fans know, NeNe became a household name thanks to The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She starred on the show from Seasons 1 to 7, took a break and then came back for Seasons 10 through 12. She announced her most recent departure on her YouTube channel.
“I started on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ in 2008. We took off like a rocket. I mean, we took off,” she said. “You could have never told me that I [would have] starred on this little show and it still be going strong 13, 14 years later — and it is. I’m just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened up doors for Black ensemble reality shows to step up and be a part of what we all now love so much: reality TV.”
A representative for the Bravo network told Fox News, “We wish NeNe all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for sharing her journey for over a decade with the fans of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ She’s been instrumental since the start and will truly be missed, and maybe one day she’ll hold the peach again.”
