NeNe Leakes will not be returning as a regular to ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.’

The news came courtesy of the reality star herself during a sit-down interview on The Steve Harvey Show.

Usually a fire-cracker, a surprisingly subdued Leakes explained that she “felt like Kelly Ripa” after not being contacted to appear in season 9 of the Bravo hit.

[As widely reported, Ripa made headlines after being blindsided by the departure of her co-host on ‘Kelly & Michael’]

Her words ring somewhat odd given that she also didn’t feature as a peach-holding housewife in the last season of the show.

In any case, fans of outspoken Leakes needn’t riot just yet. For, she offered an optimistic outlook on her future with the franchise.

‘Girls‘ creative Lena Dunham found herself on the receiving end of social media’s sting recently when she seemed to scold the athlete Odell Beckham Jr for not paying attention to her at this year’s ‘MET Gala.’

Where she did it? During a “conversation” with her pal Amy Schumer launched to promote the latter’s book ‘The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo.’

I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, “That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.” It wasn’t mean — he just seemed confused.

The vibe was very much like, “Do I want to **** it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo. I’m going to go back to my cell phone.” It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, “This should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.

Her confusing comments saw her mocked and slammed on Twitter and, after enough social media users caught wind of them, saw her becoming the #1 trending topic on the aforementioned platform.

This week, Beckham has addressed the matter.
