Give me what I want or I'm walking. Those are the terms and conditions of The Real Housewives of Atlanta's star NeNe Leakes when it comes to signing on for a new season of the show. While Leakes has been with the program since the first season, she has reportedly grown to despise the other women on the cast to the point where she is thinking of packing it in altogether. However, it seems that the star might rethink shipping out should Bravo give her what she wants... more money.
According to Radar Online, NeNe told the producers that she wanted to walk away from the show that made her a household name because she was unhappy with the past season and hated most of the other ladies on the cast.
"NeNe absolutely hated Housewives this season. She hated almost all of the other women and wanted off the show entirely," an insider told the news site.

However, when she made her intentions clear to the producers, they pulled out all the stops in hopes of keeping their star ingénue around.
"She is the most valuable person in the entire franchise and Bravo was going to do whatever she wanted to keep her," a source told the news site. "So they offered her the spin-off which she gladly took."
According to The Inquistr, Leakes secured a spinoff deal with her bestie, Kim Zolciak, where the two will be traveling across the country together. The show is titled NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches, and it will premiere later this year.
In addition to that, the network also offered her a huge pay raise and bonus deal which will make her previous $1.5 million per season look incredibly small.
"They want NeNe and so they offered her a HUGE raise," the reports claimed. "She already makes the most and now they're giving her even more money per episode and her bonuses will be bigger too."
