NeNe Leakes Is Reportedly Negotiating Her Contact With Bravo For Her RHOA Return For Season 9!

NeNe Leakes decided to walk away from The Real Housewives of Atlanta during the show's eighth season, however the self proclaimed "Rich Bitch" did in fact return to the Bravo hit reality series, making a few guest appearances, along with her mini return, the show's ratings increased.

According to a new report, Bravo wants Leakes back on the show as full-time cast member but it's being reported via Radar Online that she's playing hard to get aka she wants a lot of more money!

“NeNe has a lot of production deals in the works,” a source close to the 48-year-old reality star told Radar Online.

“And that is what she wants to do, more than just be a housewife BUT she knows where her money comes from and it comes from Bravo.”

It was previously reported that Leakes was allegedly earning $2 million per season  — by far the most money of any of the ladies — but her popularity and ability to deliver a story that that fans want to know more about convinced the Bravo execs to keep her around.

“NeNe is not dumb. She does exactly what needs to be done on RHOA,” said the source.

“She is not afraid to fight with anyone and her take on every story is what the fans want. No one cares about the random ladies on the show. NeNe is the one they tune in to watch. So she will be back, earning the big bucks and laughing all the way to the bank.”
