Nene Leakes Says the Other RHOA Ladies Would Never Want Kim Zolciak-Biermann Back

Bravo Digital's Megan Segura and Erik J. Mac bring you exclusive interviews from Bravo HQ, featuring Bravolebs such as Nene Leakes, Captain Lee, and Stassi Schroeder, plus expert commentary and behind-the-scenes scoop straight from Bravo execs. New episodes are released every Thursday morning, wherever you get your podcasts. 

Nene Leakes recently shared a surprising update on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen earlier this month, when she said of her friendship with fellow The Real Housewives of Atlanta OG (now an alum) Kim Zolciak-Biermann, "We're the greatest and the best duo ever. I've spoken to Kim here and there. We're in a great place. We're always in a great place when we're not working together. When we're working together, we're pulling wigs. But we're good."

And when Kim did an interview with The Daily Dish podcast, she confirmed that she would like to have Kim back on RHOA, but when asked if she thought the other Atlanta ladies would agree with her and welcome her back, she had to keep it real.

"They don’t agree, for a couple of reasons," Nene said. "One is Kim is an OG, and I think these girls really, really have an issue with OGs. Kim’s an OG and she’s gonna get a little bit more respect from people than they might get, and I think they have an issue with that."

She did point out that it would make for great TV, however: "You know Kim, you know she’s not backing down. So, she’s gonna be arguing with everybody. Everybody. Including me."

But Nene acknowledged that the chances were slim that Kim would make a return: "I don’t know if Kim would ever come back," she said. "It was a lot for her the last time she was here." 

Kim did make a memorable appearance in Season 10; check that out below.
