Multiple sources from the show spoke to TMZ and explained how producers have not reached out to the Glee star, so bringing NL back to the show is out of the question. Fans were disappointed as they had campaigned for NeNe Leakes’ return for a long time. 
NeNe Leakes had filed a lawsuit in 2022 claiming that the show’s producers were toxic and believed in racism. But she followed Bravo on Instagram in November 2023, bringing hopes back. The Fashion Police star has left the show since 2020.
