<p>Nearly three years after making her dramatic departure, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nene-leakes-soft-era-breakup-rumors-rhoa-producer-shade/?_gl=1*zjj2lb*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTkyMTU1MzkzMS4xNjg4NTYzNjYx*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4ODU2MzY2MC4xLjEuMTY4ODU2MzY2NS4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NeNe Leakes</strong></a> is speaking on potentially rejoining <em>The Real Housewives of Atlanta. </em></p>
<p>Additionally, NeNe says she&#8217;s offering fellow <em>RHOA </em>OG <strong>Kim Zolciak</strong> support as she navigates her divorce situation with <strong>Kroy Biermann</strong>.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Could NeNe Leakes Eventually Return To Bravo?</h3>
<p>Leakes dished on the subjects during a recent meet-up with <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/07/05/nene-leakes-kim-zolciak-reach-out-divorce-kroy-biermann-rhoa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, and she didn&#8217;t shy away from telling fans to &#8220;check the ratings&#8221; for the current season when it came to whether a lil&#8217; shake-up is needed.</p>
<p>When then asked if she would ever return to the beloved series, NeNe declared that she &#8220;would come back for the fans,&#8221; as they&#8217;d &#8220;love to see [her] in that position.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would come back for the fans. Because the fans are the ones that love me, they&#8217;re the ones that love to see me in that position. I would do anything for them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s also worth adding that beneath The Shade Room&#8217;s post on the matter, <strong>Porsha Williams</strong> stepped into the comment section and declared, <strong><em>&#8220;She IS the show!&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<p>While on the subject, though, we have to acknowledge that NeNe&#8217;s past beef with the network leaves many unsure if she&#8217;d ever make her return.</p>
<p>Fans will recall that NeNe Leakes <a href="https://people.com/tv/bravo-reacts-nene-leakes-rhoa-exit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exited</a> the series in 2020, and she eventually filed a <a href="https://people.com/tv/nene-leakes-sues-bravo-and-andy-cohen-for-alleged-racist-and-hostile-work-environment-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> against Bravo, NBC Universal, and <strong>Andy Cohen</strong> back in April 2022.</p>
<p>Specifically, NeNe accused the parties of exhibiting racism and fostering a hostile work environment. Additionally, she alleged that Kim Zolciak went unpunished after supposedly exhibiting &#8220;racially-offensive behavior&#8221; for years.</p>
<p>Four months later, however, she <a href="https://people.com/tv/nene-leakes-dismisses-discrimination-lawsuit-against-bravo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> the lawsuit after alleging she was <a href="https://www.etonline.com/nene-leakes-seemingly-calls-out-andy-cohen-claiming-she-was-blacklisted-188907" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;blacklisted for telling the truth.&#8221;</a></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">NeNe Says She &#8220;Reached Out&#8221; To Kim Zolciak</h3>
<p>Aside from her <em>RHOA </em>commentary, NeNe Leakes also briefly acknowledged Kim Zolciak&#8217;s current situation with <strong>Kroy Biermann</strong>.</p>
<p>As The Shade Room previously reported, news that Kim had <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kim-zolciak-divorce-kroy-biermann/?_gl=1*1cfr89h*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTk4MjQwOTI5OC4xNjg4NTYzNDU3*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4ODU2MzQ1Ni4xLjEuMTY4ODU2MzUyMy4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed to divorce</a> Kroy began circulating two months ago.</p>
<p>Zolciak has largely remained silent on the matter, though she teased an upcoming cameo appearance on the heels of the news, which is slated to go down on the next episode of <em>RHOA</em>.</p>

<p>When asked how Kim&#8217;s holding up, NeNe Leakes shared that she&#8217;s largely unsure.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t how she&#8217;s doing overall. I just reached out to her because she reached out to me during the time when I was really going through something.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However, she stated, <strong><em>&#8220;I would think that she&#8217;s taking it hard. It&#8217;s a divorce—it&#8217;s not easy.&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Do you think there&#8217;s a chance that NeNe could return to <em>RHOA</em>?</p>
