NeNe Leakes returns to Bravo on ‘Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’

NeNe Leakes has returned to the Bravo television franchise during an episode of ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th’. Her appearance occurred during the cast’s stop in Atlanta, where she made a surprise entrance at a drag brunch. Porsha Williams helped orchestrate the surprise, which led to an emotional reunion with other cast members.

Leakes, a longtime star of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, reflected on her departure from the series in 2020, noting that while she initially felt relief to leave a heavy environment, she eventually experienced feelings of being left out. Andy Cohen praised her return, stating that the franchise ‘couldn’t have celebrated 20 years on the air without her’ and described the reunion as a ‘very positive’ experience for fans.

During the episode, Gizelle Bryant confronted Leakes regarding a past comment made about her, though Leakes dismissed the tension, stating there were ‘no hard feelings’.
