After a summer of rumors, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes announced on Thursday that she is leaving the Bravo reality show…for now.
“I have made the hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of Real Housewives of Atlanta season 13,” said Leakes in a video posted to her YouTube account. “It wasn’t an easy decision for me.
“I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,” she said. “There has been a lot of emotion flying on both sides.”
Leakes continued, “I’m just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened doors for Black ensemble reality shows.
She thanked Bravo, her fans, the cast, her team and those at her production company, Truly Original: “It has been just amazing. Thank you guys so much.”
