Nene Leakes Says She’s Not Interested in Returning to RHOA, Shares Thoughts on Shamea Morton’s Future and Discusses Son’s Health Issues

In an interview on the Big Tigger Morning Show, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes confirmed that she has no interest in returning as a housewife to the Bravo reality TV show. When asked if she'd consider participating again, Nene replied, “I'll go and play with them, but as far as me actually holding a peach and all over here with y'all sitting on the couch… uh, no girl.” She added, “I can’t do that. That’ll drive me crazy.”

Nene emphasized that she doesn’t harbor any grudges against the franchise, saying, “As I said before, they did what they did, and I did what I did. And I’m not holding any grudges. At first I felt some kind of way for a while, because you have to get over things, right? But I have healed from that. I have moved on.”

When questioned about Shamea Morton, who faced drama-filled moments this past season, Nene expressed empathy towards her situation. “That's a good question,” she stated. “I understand where Shamea might. be coming from like, 'Girl, why would you try to tell me how to leave my job?' or 'This is a check. Why would I lose my check over.'” Nene pointed out that most participants aren’t married to their initial partners by the end of the series. She advised viewers not to expect her direct advice on Shamea's potential exit, noting that only Shamea can decide what’s best for herself.

The conversation shifted to her personal life, particularly her son Brentt Leakes' health struggles. In 2022, Brentt experienced a heart attack, which has had a significant impact on both Nene and her family. “To watch my baby boy be very sick these last three or four years. Right after his dad died, my son had a heart attack. It’s been really difficult," she shared. Additionally, Nene spoke candidly about her oldest son's ongoing battle with substance abuse, stating, "He's getting the help that he needs, and my son is getting the help that he needs for his heart. He has a new heart."

Nene also addressed concerns regarding bloggers exposing her children without consent. She urged them to stop putting people's kids in the spotlight when they haven't chosen to be there.
