‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ season 9 is just weeks away from premiering, and we’ve been getting snaps and footage from the tapings, as well as tidbits on who has returned, and who was rumored to be returning.
It seemed as though OG Nene Leakes was up in the air with her contract being reportedly on hold. Then there were reports of fellow OG, Kim Zolciak Biermann returning recently and filming scenes with the current ladies. Well now both ladies spoke out today (Sep 6) on their alleged status with the show.
Kim’s daughter Brielle kicked it off on Tuesday asking fans if they think her mom should return for season 9.
real housewives of Atlanta was the shit when my mom was on it….. should she go back on it???

Kim then took to Twitter herself to shut down the rumors that she is returning and says that despite the fact that SHE suggested HERE that she would return this season, Bravo producers have not asked her back.
No I will not be on RHOA this season was never asked to be so not sure where the rumors are coming from ?

We’re not sure if Kim is just trying to throw people off track and is waiting for Bravo to make an official announcement, or if she really isn’t returning. Andy Cohen has long totted Kim as one of his fave housewives, so we can’t see the Bravo folks not accepting her back with open arms, like they did Sheree Whitfield.
Now on to Nene-we know she previously confirmed a few weeks ago that she would not be returning to RHOA this season and suggested that it wasn’t due to her. Well tonight, she also took back to Twitter to respond to a few fans who drilled her on if she was still not returning or if plans had changed.
Nene revealed that her return will not occur because Bravo did not offer her a contract as a full or part time housewife this season, unlike last season when she returned toward the end of season 8.
Well fans of Leakes won’t need to fret, as we told you HERE, she has something in the works for TV and you can still catch her on her one woman tour. That trailer for RHOA should be arriving in a matter of weeks, so stay tuned.
