The door is open.
âReal Housewives of Atlantaâ alum NeNe Leakes is negotiating a return to Bravo, Page Six can confirm.
Weâre told Leakes, 58, is âin talksâ with the network about appearing in âThe Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip,â which is set to film in January 2026.
Andy Cohen announced the new installment of the âReal Housewives: Ultimate Girls Tripâ series last month during BravoCon 2025, and earlier this week, âReal Housewives of Orange Countyâ star Vicki Gunvalson claimed sheâll be a part of the cast.
Cameras will follow beloved âHousewivesâ from various cities and years as they make their way across the country, stopping at some of the most memorable locations in Bravo history.
Weâre told Leakes may be among its stars.
Notably, Cohen, 57, also revealed at the fan convention that he and Leakes actually âtexted a few months ago.â
Her return to the network would be significant.
As fans remember, Leakes quit âRHOAâ â despite her OG status â in September 2020.
âI have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,â she announced at the time, explaining that âthereâs been a lot of emotion flying from both sides.â
She ultimately made the âvery hard and very difficult decisionâ to exit the show ahead of Season 13.
In April 2022, she filed a bombshell lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, production companies True Entertainment and Truly Original, executives from the companies and Cohen.
She accused them of âfoster[ing] a corporate and workplace culture in which racially insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated â if not, encouraged.â
Leakes alleged that her complaints of racism led in part to her being âforcedâ out of the âhouse she built.â
After four months of ânegotiatingâ between the parties, Leakes filed to dismiss the case âwithout prejudice,â giving her the ability to reopen it at a later time.
Reps for Leakes and Bravo did not immediately respond to Page Sixâs requests for comment.
