Ever-outspoken actress-comedienne Mo’Nique has had enough of the rumor mill spinning stories of her alleged plan to join the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ cast.
Taking to Instagram Wednesday (July 8), the Academy Award-winner addressed the murmur head on that she was in talks to replace veteran cast member NeNe Leakes on the show’s forthcoming 13th season.
Hear her words inside:
“I wasn’t gone say not a damn thing cause I knew it was a damn lie.
But, it keeps on going and going and going…Mo’Nique, are you doing ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and replacing NeNe Leakes?
Let me let it come straight from my mouth – no my sweet babies. I am not doing ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and in my humble opinion, NeNe Leakes is irreplaceable.
NeNe Leakes is ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ if you ask me, baby.”

Mo’s statement comes weeks after execs from the show’s network home, BRAVO, officially stated there was “no truth” to swirling reports Leakes had been fired.
Even her manager, Steven Grossman, echoed the sentiment by saying:
“It was made abundantly clear [by Bravo] prior that she will always be welcome on the series as long as she wants to be.”
🙄
But this the first time I heard this pooh.
Idc idc I love her!
Monique is funny though lol
A Sadge looking out for a Sadge.
Mo’Nique has a history that could do well on that show, especially with her calming force of a hubby, whom Kenya would hit on, then call out his open marriage, before calling him fruity after he turns her advances down. 🙃
Plus, 1mil. a season could help Mo’ resent Oprah Lee Perry (3 people in one – easier) less for denting her earning potential.
She should be on there
But she would be f****** hilarious, just think of the confessionals! I think she should, at least one season or maybe a friend to the show. She has a sense of realness that the other girls are missing and not the fakeness or over the top glamor.
I’m glad because I was about to be sad for. That show is beneath her. Imo.
But I would’ve been so here for Mo’Nique on RHOA. She would have brought a fresh vibe to the show, and she’s a strong personality who would not allow herself to be pushed around by any of the other ladies.
Her vs Kenya would be epic. lmfao
