NeNe Leakes Finally Reveals She's Leaving 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

The time has finally come for NeNe Leakes to say goodbye to where it all started. MStars New has learned that the reality star and Broadway diva is leaving the The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

According to E! News, Leakes revealed that she was making an exit via Instagram.

"This is so hard for me to type! I cry as I do so! I am so Grateful for all the love and laughs!" the RHOA veteran wrote. "Thank you so much to everyone that has watched and supported me over the years on this amazing platform! With lots of thoughts and prayer I've decided to step out on faith and not fear. #nomoRHOA4me"

Leakes' rep also confirmed the news, telling E! that the original cast member was not returning for the next season.

There were a lot of laughs, arguments and tears in the last season as Leakes revealed some things about her past, including her past with her mother.

"I don't have anything to say. I can't," she previously stated in tears during the reunion show. "I can't talk about my mom."

Leakes explained that her mom had five children at a young age, and gave the RHOA star and her brother up to live with their aunt. Leakes admitted it was hard not knowing why her mom chose for them to live with her aunt.

"I just think maybe I have been misunderstood somewhere along the line," Leakes said. "I just think that sometimes people think that I haven't been through anything in my life and I don't talk about some of the things I've been through in my life. It's just really hard to talk about my mom. "

MStars News previously learned that Leakes wasn't the only RHOA star leaving the show this season. We previously reported that Claudia Jordan's time on the show was getting pushed to appearances here and there just like Porsha Williams had been moved to in the past.

With Leakes' exit, MStars News wants to know, will you still be a fan of the show? Are you going to watch the upcoming season?
