Report: NeNe Leakes’ ‘Real Housewives’ Return Is In A Reduced Role

Published: Thursday 15th Jun 2017 by Sam

NeNe Leakes made headlines yesterday when she announced her ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ return.

Trumpeting her comeback with the phrase “all hail the Queen,” the reality star sent fans into a frenzy following months of rumors.

What she didn’t divulge, however, were specifics about her role in the Bravo hit’s 10th season.

Well, according to TMZ, Leakes will will indeed be back on RHOA – but in a limited capacity.

Sources aka NeNe’s team cite her “other commitments” as the reason for her inability to sign-up full-time. It would appear she has a similar deal as fellow original Kim Zolciak, whose part-time return was confirmed back in April.

Filming has begun for the show’s new season, but NeNe has yet to shoot any scenes.

Are you buzzed about her return?

    Yes nene will be in a limited capacity because the show was a success during her “hiatus” she played herself thinking she was the show when the ensemble cast made the show a success. As a business it would not be smart to bring nene back full time with a $2.5 million salary as it is proven she don’t influence the ratings. My advice to her is to channeled the first season nene then slaughtered b****** one by one to get that throne but nene is not that smart.

      Facts! Yes, she played herself by allowing Bravo to see the show thrive without her. I want Phaedra back, so we can see the fallout from the reunion. Rather than reaching backwards, I can think of several ladies they should film for possible slots:

      Marlo – Just give the thirsty chick a peach already
      Cadillac Kimberly
      Ashlee Wilson Hawn (f/ Big Rich Atlanta)
      Nicci Gilbert
      Angie Stone
      Pre-Madonna
      Mariah Huq (if she’s done w/ Married to Medicine)
      Janet Hubert (if she lives in ATL; she has a role on If Loving You is Wrong)
      Lisa Wu (fabulous for a throwback)
      Deshawn Snow (see Lisa Wu)

        LOL
        Janet Hubert (if she lives in ATL; she has a role on If Loving You is Wrong)
        DEAD

      I don’t think she played herself. I think she had major problems with Carlos King, the producer who got fired from the show right before Phaedra got a pink slip. Carlos had cast members come for Nene (Clawdia and Kenya) and Nene refused to sign a contract unless he was fired.

    We all knew she was coming back so I don’t know who she thought she was fooling.

    NeNe needs to realise that now that we are used to seeing her off our screens she is at the bottom of the pecking order with even She’ree above her, she needs to realise that she is making peach cobbler with the left over peaches before she’s holding one again.

    I truly cannot stand her and hope that the majority of the other ladies REFUSE to film with her. If they all ban together and refuse to film with her, it will allow producers to let her go COMPLETELY following this tenth season. she is HONESTLY an unnecessary character and series personality at this point.

      They already did everything you said the last season she was on the show. The producers brought Nene back not the cast so I’m sure they are bringing her back in a friend of the show capacity…i.e…not the big role Nene is rejecting or the type of role she wants people to assume she is filling. Nene had been kissing up to Cybthia and Kenya for over a year leading up to this so that is whom she will film with on a few episodes.
