Nene Leakes Teases Possible Return to Real Housewives of Atlanta: “The Check Has to Be Right”

Could the OG of the ATL peaches be making her way back to the Bravo? Nene Leakes recently gave fans a glimmer of hope when TMZ caught up with her to talk all things Real Housewives of Atlanta. And as you’d expect from the queen of quick wit and unforgettable one-liners, she did not disappoint.

First, Nene took a moment to shout out a surprising fan: Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo. “Cynthia, I love you, thank you so much and I totally agree,” she said, giving us a rare dose of her softer side before adding how much of a “pleasure” it was to know Erivo watched the show. Who knew? Maybe Erivo’s call for Leakes will make it a reality.

But let’s get to the tea. When asked the million dollar question about returning to RHOA, Nene played it cool at first. “I don’t know,” she teased, keeping it mysterious enough to keep fans on their toes. But then came the moment we’ve all been waiting for: “If the opportunity was right and the check was on point, why not?” she said with a laugh.

Let’s be real: RHOA hasn’t quite been the same without Nene’s larger-than-life presence. Whether she was reading a castmate for filth, delivering meme-worthy confessionals, or giving us iconic catchphrases (“I said what I said!”), Nene knows how to command a room. And if Bravo’s willing to cut the check, we could be looking at a reunion that shakes the entire network to its core.

So, Bravo execs, consider this your cue. The fans are ready, and Nene is…well, open to negotiation. Let’s make it happen, because the Bravo fans are running out of patience for this reunion!
