NeNe Leakes is weighing in on The Real Housewives of Atlanta's latest cast shakeup.
Two weeks after Kenya Moore left the reality series following an alleged scandal involving season 16 costar Brittany Eady, Leakes revealed what she really thinks of the controversial exit.
"I don't know if I was surprised," NeNe, who left the show in 2020, exclusively told E! News. "I know that, over the years, Kenya has always pushed the envelope a little bit."
"Listen, those girls do a lot of things," the Outrageous Love With NeNe Leakes host added of the many cast feuds over the years. "I don't think I'm surprised at all."
Bravo has yet to confirm the reason for the suspension.
Though NeNe is no longer a mainstay on the series, she remains close with Kenya as well as current RHOA stars Drew Sidora and Porsha Williams as well as fellow alums Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield and Marlo Hampton—despite their past drama.
"We're not talking every day," NeNe told E!, "but when we see each other, there's no beef. There's no hard feelings. Actually we laugh about it."
And now that Porsha has returned for season 16, NeNe thinks it's time for Phaedra to make a comeback too.
"Housewives is where the viewers know her from and, to me, if she was going to be on any platform it should be on the Housewives platform, not Married to Medicine," she explained. "I think Phaedra would be a good addition again."
In the meantime, RHOA fans can catch NeNe on her new Lifetime show Outrageous Love every Monday at 10 p.m. And keep reading for E!'s definitive ranking of every Real Housewife ever.
