NeNe Leakes Puts An End Date To 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

NeNe Leakes wants to leave the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ but the end date is her little secret. The reportedly highest paid Housewives star has already booked several other high paying gigs including a season regular on ‘Glee’ and the ‘New Normal.’ Outside of TV Leakes has ventured into liquor and fashion.

In the near future however we may see the NeNe Leakes show. The 44-year old reality TV star revealed her plans in a recent interview,

“At some point I do [plan to leave RHOA.] I love the acting world. So at some point, I can’t continue to be a house wife. At some point, I have to back out.”

She added,

“I would keep it real for the whole hour! Whatever the topic is, I feel I could talk about anything. Politics, men, money, shoes . . . anything. I wouldn’t want to do a ‘Maury Povich’ show. Baby daddy! Who’s your daddy? Who’s your mama? I wouldn’t want to do that kind of show.”

NeNe’s take on politics would be very, very interesting to say the least. Humor aside it’s hard to deny the breakout star of the Real Housewives is cementing her place in show-business.

For now however she’ll return for another season of the show that gave her her start.

Season 5 of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ will premiere on November 4th at 9pm on Bravo. The cast include regulars Kim Zolciak, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, NeNe and newbies Kenya Moore (who denied tooth & nail she wasn’t on the show) and Porsha Stewart.

Will you watch NeNe and the crew for season 5?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
