'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Season 8: NeNe Leakes On Return 'I Will Be There' [VIDEO]
As reports swirl of who will be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo, NeNe Leakes has spoken on whether she will be one of the familiar faces on the show.
Leakes, who quit before season eight only to return for a few episodes, stopped by Live! With Kelly Tuesday morning and dished on if she will be coming back for another round.
“Well let me just say I love the housewives. I’ve been there since day one,” she said. “I can’t tell you guys that yet. But what I will tell you is, I’ve always been there. I’m loyal to Bravo. So I will be there in some capacity.”
As for her sitting out for season eight, she said confessed that she still tuned in; which is why she decided to return midseason.
“I was like ‘Lord let me hurry up and get back over in my chair. Let me hurry and get back. They need me.’ So I hurried back.”
Leakes is the only person who has been in all eight seasons. And she also revealed that she had a hand in casting for the first season. She said while producers were interviewing her, they confessed they were having a little trouble with who to put on the show.
Leakes said that she is the one who suggested Kim Zolciak, Sheree Whitfield and DeShawn Snow.
“We all became season one ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta.’”
While her acting career is thriving now, Leakes said she was acting back when the show started.
“Being on ‘Housewives’ really gave me the platform for my career to take off.”
