Nene Leakes: I Will Not Be Returning To ‘RHOA’ For Season 13

“I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation. There has been a lot of emotion flying on both sides,” the reality star said in the video.

“It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and difficult decision to not be a part of Real Housewives of Atlanta season 13.” NeNe tears up in the video.

“It wasn’t an easy decision for me,” she continued. “It was hard. I started on The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2008. We took off like a rocket. I mean, we took off.”

She continued, “You could have never told me that I would start on this little show and it still be going strong 13, 14 years later.

“And it is. I’m just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened up doors for Black ensemble reality shows to step up and be a part of what we all now love so much, reality TV.”
