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.

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.
