But she's not completely against reality television altogether. She added that she is all for having her own spin-off show, or even a talk show. As for why she's considering leaving, she said the hate and envy her co-stars have toward her has reached an all-time high.
"They're absolutely jealous. No ifs, ands or buts about that. I feel like girls are purposefully hired to gang up on me - doing exactly what they're told, like robots. The show has opened up so many doors for me, but it has a negative side."
She added that she would prefer to focus on her future and next step.
Five years down the road, I hope my entrepreneur-ness is in full bloom. I want to retire young!"
Leakes, who has starred in the hit series Glee as well as The New Normal, also just completed her first stint on Broadway as the wicked stepmother in Cinderella. She was a part of the first cast when The Real Housewives of Atlanta first debuted on Bravo. This isn't the first time quit rumors have swirled for Leakes, but it looks like this time might be different than previous speculation.
She recently called out her co-stars for attempting to copy her success on the Ryan Cameron Morning Show. Take a look.
