NeNe Leakes is reportedly leaving “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” after tweeting Sunday about moving on and God opening doors for her. "Sometimes n life u have 2 just move on! 4 growth, 4 sanity, 4 healing! It's a sacrifice! Pray about it," the long-time cast member said.

Leakes has been on the show since the first season, and the seventh season will air in November. It is believed that this seventh season may be her last. This is not the first time Leakes has sounded unhappy about the Bravo reality show.

In May, the National Enquirer claimed that the 46-year-old already makes $1 million a season but wanted her salary upped since she is the star of the show. “NeNe thinks she is a bigger star now, due to a recurring role on ‘Glee’ and the now-canceled sitcom ‘The New Normal,’” an insider said. Leakes had a minor recurring role on “Glee” in 2013 and made her final appearance in 2014. “The New Normal” was canceled after one season. Leakes tweeted a cryptic message on Twitter last month: “Never continue n a job u don’t enjoy! Follow ur passion & success will follow u!” she wrote.

While Leakes may be leaving the show, she may still be on television. Recent rumors have it that she will be replacing the late Joan Rivers on E!’s “Fashion Police.” The 81-year-old comedian passed away on Sept. 4, a week after being hospitalized following an unplanned throat biopsy during a routine endoscopy at aManhattan clinic. Comedian Kathy Griffin is said to be a top choice to take Rivers' place, but Leakes is reportedly swaying producers to choose her, according to Perez Hilton.

She may end up being chosen, as she has “serious comedic timing, but also because E! is looking to diversify their panel with a different ethnicity,” a source tells the celebrity gossip site. “Fashion Police” debuted in 2010, and Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos also serve as hosts.
