We already knew that Nene Leakes made a few pop up appearances this season on “Real Housewives of Atlanta” but now according to reports she is allegedly in talks for a full return, and sooner than you might think. That’s not all, season 8’s shooting schedule has been extended just to accommodate her return.
According to LALATE, the reality star is in talks to make a comeback on the hit Bravo series after departing from the show last season. Sources say Leakes is expected to return for a final four to five episode arch and three reunion episodes, which comes with a fat paycheck.
The report continues:
“Leakes is set to film from January to early spring, and give BravoTV a final four to five episode arch for the regular season, plus three reunion episodes. Leakes is expected to be paid for about three months of work about $560,000, more than many of her co-stars were paid for an entire season, LALATE can report.
[…] Leakes wanted to keep her calendar open as To Tell the Truth wrapped filming. Leakes like others wondered if To Tell the Truth would be picked up for a national syndication deal, making RHOA 8 filming impossible. But that the game show still remains in limbo. Meantime her national comedy tour did not pan out either. With that free time, Leakes inked a role on Broadway and for the Fashion Police, projects that RHOA executives can clearly work around. This winter, Leakes’ roll on Chicago ends on December 20, much like her roll in Cinderella did last year.”
