Following what she called “emotional negotiations” with Bravo, NeNe Leakes announced on her YouTube channel on Thursday, Sept. 17, that she’s leaving “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” “There’s been a lot of emotions on both sides,” NeNe said, according to ET. “It’s been hard and I have made a hard, difficult decision to not be part of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Season 13.” Whispers about her potential departure from the show began over the summer, with NeNe telling ET she would tell fans herself if “negotiations don’t work out.” While money appears to have been part of her decision, she was also clearly frustrated with some of her castmates — so frustrated, in fact, that she walked off the Season 12 virtual reunion. She later told ET she wasn’t sure yet if she’d “walk away” from the show, which premiered back in 2008 with NeNe as a key member of the cast, though she’s left and returned since then.
