For years, NeNe Leakes was the witty gift that kept on giving via Real Housewives of Atlanta. NeNe held court on this series during Seasons 1 through 7. She then returned as a guest during Season 8, only to return for two final rounds as a full-time Housewife for Seasons 10 to 12. Moving forward, would NeNe ever consider stepping back into this land, where white refrigerators and “so rude, so nasty” storylines roam free?
Would NeNe be a “friend of” the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast?
NeNe recently sat down for a chat with the Humble Brag podcast, co-hosted by one of her former costars on RHOA, Cynthia Bailey. Unlike NeNe, Cynthia is still filming with the cast of RHOA. However, Cynthia is filming in a lesser capacity as a friend of this series. And when she asked NeNe if this part-time-sized shoe might also fit her feet, NeNe had this to say.
Repeating her question, NeNe pondered, “If I were to ever step back on that platform, would I be a friend?” Then, NeNe explained that this role is likely not her cup of tea. “I just would think, NeNe, Season 1, the first Housewife, and I’m a friend? I don’t know,” NeNe quipped.
A full-time role, however, might have NeNe answering this question with a yes. Several months ago, another outlet asked her this same question, to which NeNe answered yes, but only under two conditions. “If the opportunity was right and the check was on point,” we might just see NeNe back on our screens, she stressed.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
