Well that didn’t take long.
NeNe Leakes is set to make a dramatic return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta – just four months after announcing her departure from the show.
Details below…
E! broke the news the outspoken reality star would be appearing on the 8th season of the series and they reveal that it’s not only a surprise for viewers but also for her cast-mates. Many of whom were left stunned:
RHOA is currently filming season eight’s trip to Jamaica, and NeNe will make an appearance—unannounced—much to the surprise of her unsuspecting co-stars, according to sources close to production. (That’s right: The ladies have no idea she’s coming. The drama!) NeNe will be making an undetermined number of appearances in the new season.
According to TMZ, NeNe agreed to do it because the price was right (this time) and because it didn’t affect the shooting schedule on her new game show with Betty White.
And while many will undoubtedly have much to say about how quickly she’s ready to cash that Bravo check again, it’s not because of a lack of coins from elsewhere. Indeed, it’s just been announced that that Leakes has just signed on to play “Mama” in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago.’
Season 8 of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ premieres November 8th with a main cast of Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Porsha Williams and Kim Fields. RHOA original Shereé Whitfield is back recurring, alongside new face Shamea Morton.
