Kenya Moore Claims NeNe Leakes Is ‘Fighting To Stay’ On ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 12 has been filled with dramatic moments, but Kenya Moore believes NeNe Leakes’ days on the Bravo reality series are number.

Since “RHOA” Season 12 premiered, NeNe has been absent from several episodes. During a recent interview, Kenya insisted the Swagg Boutique owner hasn’t been missed by her fellow castmates.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kenya thought that NeNe’s lack of appearances on the show was the network’s way of telling her she is no longer the star of the series. “She tries so hard to tell people she’s the HBIC,” Kenya explained.

“She’s the this, she’s the that. She’s the originator. ‘Oh, the real premiere just starts…’ And in fact, her presence now is not impactful at all. She’s missed out on at least four to five episodes this season, so that clearly means the network is sending you a message. You’re not as important as you think you are.”

Kenya claimed it’s only a matter of time before Bravo begins making changes to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast. “The message is very clear: either the network feels that you are still a valuable asset on the show or they don’t, and you’re replaced and phased out, and you just have to move on,” she said.

The 49-year-old claimed NeNe’s history on the show has resulted in many enemies and maybe one of the reasons she is booted from the cast.

“NeNe has been on the show for a very long time, and I just think the cast is not gelling with her. She always puts herself on an island. She makes these fights with people that don’t actually have to occur, and she’s really the cause of her own demise,” Kenya added.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 12 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
