NeNe Leakes
The OG cast member first exited the series in season 7 before returning for season 10 in 2018. Two years later, NeNe once again announced her departure from the show.
In September 2020, she claimed that Bravo “forced” her “out of the franchise.” However, NeNe teased in November 2021 that she had some “unfinished business” with the reality series and was “OK with returning to the show as long as we can work through a few things,” she told The Real at the time. “I’d be happy to return.”
NeNe’s husband of nearly 20 years, Gregg Leakes, died in September 2021 at age 66 following his battle with colon cancer. A month later, she reunited with her former RHOA costars at Gregg’s celebration of life ceremony. In October 2022, NeNe’s youngest son, Brentt, was sent to the hospital after he suffered from a heart attack and stroke.
Professionally, NeNe has appeared on Dynasty since her RHOA exit and starred in 2024’s Hunting Housewives on Lifetime.
