Cynthia Bailey reacts to NeNe Leakes’ Real Housewives departure

She added, “We text back and forth…When I heard the news about her leaving the show, I shot her a text and said good luck to you”. But now, there are reports that the 47-year old is negotiating a part-time return to “RHOA“.

Now that Cynthia doesn’t have to deal with NeNe’s drama anymore, the reality star is looking forward to a new season of the show and a potential new cast mate. However, Leakes quashed the rumors, telling People magazine that she is definitely not returning for season 8 and will not appear at all, even as a guest.

But despite Leakes’ statement to TMZ about loving Bravo and Atlanta, RadarOnline reports that Bravo is no longer fond of the ex- “Glee” star.

“[Nene Leakes was] never negotiating with Bravo for the upcoming eighth season of RHOA”, Grossman stated.

While Fields has maintained a relatively low profile, she’s kept her career going strong directing multiple episodes of TBS’ House of Payne and past year starring in the Hallmark Channel’s For Better Or For Worse opposite her ex- Facts Of Life co-star Lisa Welchel.

“NeNe felt that the producers would edit the show to make her look silly, or to encourage other cast members to attack her”. When someone asked her if she’s coming back next season, Kenya implied that she is and added the princess/queen emoji to her tweet. “All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and amusing and tell all of those one liners that I always have said on Housewives“.

There were some questions as to whether or not Phaedra Parks would be returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta, but it sounds like her job was saved by her nemesis Mariah Huq. She took time out from her verrrrrry busy schedule of becoming a very rich bitch to help friend Tamar Braxton film the music video for her song “If I Don’t Have You.”

“This was definitely a hard decision for me”, Leakes told the publication. It works just fine, I might add. No complaints…

A source from RadarOnline claimed that Leakes was upsetting Bravo producers and was “alienating everyone on the show and refused to do so much. This is my opportunity to spread my wings and do different things”.

“I’m not saying I’m gone forever”, Leakes teased. “I’ll probably pop up and play with those girls every now and then”.
