NeNe Leakes hasn’t been happy about the way she has been betrayed on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 12 and believes her castmate, Kenya Moore, is trying to benefit from her downfall.

Although Kenya has previously stated that it may be time for NeNe to leave “RHOA,” the 52-year-old claimed if Kenya was left to be the star of the show, the Bravo reality series could get canceled.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, NeNe addressed Kenya’s claim that Bravo was phasing her out and preparing to replace her with someone else. “How does she know? I mean, does she... is she in production?” NeNe asked.

“I don’t know. I don’t know why she says the things that she says, but what I do know is, for whatever reason -- I don’t know how it sounds, I don’t know if it’s great to even say -- but I think that she would love for me to be gone, so she could be, in her mind, the head of the show, or the queen of the show, or the one that everyone is talking about,” she added.

However, NeNe believes it would be a mistake for her to be dethroned as the queen of the show. “With me there, it’s very difficult for her to have that kind of thing. So, I also think that, if I leave the show and Kenya stays on the show, she will be the demise of the show,” she said.

Although NeNe and Kenya aren’t friends, the former beauty queen appeared more eager than ever to get her co-star off the show after she allegedly spit on her during an argument. “I don’t even know what was going through my mind in that moment, but what I do know is, I didn’t spit on her -- but I sorta, kinda wish I had,” NeNe said, reflecting on the moment.

“I’m just gonna be honest about that because I just think some of the things Kenya says is really nasty and really dirty. And I just feel like, girl, you are just -- you probably need to be spit on. You just probably need to be,” she confessed.

While NeNe admitted she made a harsh comment, she had no regrets. “And it may not sound great, but she probably needs to be spit on. And I have no sympathy for her. I just don’t,” she added.

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