'RHOA' Season 7 NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore Break Bravo TV Record- 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Most Watched Season Premiere Ever

Everybody loves those Georgia Peaches. The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 premiere has just gone down in the history books. The RHOA opener starring NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Claudia Jordan, Kenya Moore, and Phaedra Parks has just broken the Bravo TV record for most watched season premiere ever. The episode which debuted on Sunday night on the reality channel was watched by more than 3.8 million viewers.

According to The Wrap, the episode which saw the girls take a quick trip from their hometown of Atlanta to the strip of Las Vegas brought in a crazy amount of viewers. It seems that people couldn't stay away from the drama from down south, as 2.2 million viewers between the ages of 18-49 glued their eyes to the TV set to catch up with the ladies.

The premiere was not only Bravo's most-watch premiere ever but it also saw an increase of about 23 percent over the season six debut, which premiered during the same time last year.

And that's not all, the episode also became the highest rated in terms of Nielsen's SocialGuide, which accumulated about 171,000 tweets.

Deadline also reported on the record breaking season 7 opener saying that it might have been the legal drama with Parks' husband, Apollo Nida, that could have been a huge factor as to why people tuned in.

The site also goes on to say that the episode is the highest rated season premiere throughout all of Bravo 30-years as a television network.

NeNe Leakes, the veteran star of RHOA, who has been with the series since it's inception, also appeared on Andy Cohen's series Watch What Happens Live, after the broadcast aired and she helped his talk show receive the highest ratings since July of this year.
