NeNe Leakes Returning For ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Season 10 After Blasting Phaedra Parks

NeNe Leakes has finally agreed to do “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” one more time. The 49-year-old reality TV star and fashion designer has announced on social media that she’s coming back for the show’s 10th run. The announcement comes after she blasted Phaedra Parks for playing dirty.

On Wednesday, Leakes took to Twitter to announce her return to the Bravo reality series. She uploaded a photo of her raising a glass while wearing a crown and a sexy outfit. “It’s been a long process but we’ve finally reached an agreement! All hail the Queen for season 10 of #RHOA @bravoTB #thethreatisback,” she captioned her post.

Leakes reportedly signed the deal to be part of the show again on Wednesday, ending months of negotiations for her return. She and Kim Zolciak were previously rumored to be sorting some things out before signing the deal. Zolicak has already agreed to once again do the show back in April. However, NeNe dragged the negotiations until this week, as per TMZ.

Unfortunately, Leakes did not sign up to do the series full-time. Instead, she will be part of the show’s Season 10 as a part-time cast member. Insiders are saying that Leakes has so many things going on for her at the moment that it was impossible for her to commit to a full-time gig.

“I don’t think I go anywhere and don’t get asked the question, ‘When are you coming back to Housewives?’ Or I get fans coming up to me saying, ‘I really miss seeing you on the show.’ I’m told this daily,” Leakes said in a statement to Bravo’s The Daily Dish. “My fans have supported me all these years, and it started to feel like I was disappointing them.”

“There were so many bloggers and people saying she’s returning, she’s getting this, or she’s getting that! I just want to be the person to finally say to my fans who have supported me for so many years,” Leakes added. “I’m back and ready for Season 10. Let the shade begin, hunni!”

Leakes’ confirmation that she’s coming back for “RHOA” Season 10 comes after she made headlines for slamming co-star Phaedra Parks for spreading lies about Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss. “You can never WIN when you play DIRTY! Girl bye #karma 1 down, 1 to go,” Leakes live-tweeted during Season 9’s reunion part 4 of the long-running reality series.
