Several Real Housewives of Atlanta Housewives OGs have returned to the show, now producer Carlos King says he hopes NeNe Leakes will also return to the Bravo series.
“We saw NeNe Leakes co-host the [E!] Emmys red carpet after show, along with my friend Justin Sylvester and Ariana Maddix from ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ and we all supported that decision in terms of, ‘Yay, NeNe’s back doing stuff with the network, and that’s great and they promoted her,’” King told TheWrap. “I think it’s a great first step in the right direction.”
NeNe left the show in Season 12 after years of ups and downs on and off camera. She was one of the most popular Housewives of the franchise but following her exit, she threatened Bravo with legal action, accusing the network and Andy Cohen of racial discrimination.
In the upcoming 16th season, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams will return to the show.
There are also rumors Kim Zolziak could pop up next season, too.
