Turns out Elphaba is a big Bravo fan, and she has some opinions.
Cynthia Erivo is a fan of The Real Housewives. That's right, the Tony, Grammy and Emmy-winning actress and singer has opened up about her love of Bravo, calling for the return of one former Bravo star in particular.
When asked if she has a favorite reality show in a recent interview with W magazine, she had two answers: "The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I also love Potomac." She called the shows fantastic, explaining, "They're very honest, which I like. Also, there’s no fighting or fisticuffs, but they will read each other crazily. Atlanta definitely gets a little rowdy, though."
She then revealed which Real Housewife she "loves." She said in the interview, "I am a Nene Leakes fan. I love her. Where is she? Bring her back, please. She's great."
Leakes, one of the OGs of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is often considered one of the best Real Housewives to ever do it. She remained on RHOA for 12 seasons. While she sued Bravo in 2020 for creating a "toxic work environment," she later dropped the lawsuit.
Leakes opened up about potentially returning to the series while on Carlos King's Reality with the King podcast in 2023. "If I had to go back it will be 100% for the fans," she explained. "The check is not a bad check although I think my check should be bigger… the check is not a bad check.”

While Leakes' standing with the network has remained in question since the lawsuit in 2020, the reality star recently returned to NBCUniversal as a presenter on Live From E!: Emmy After Party alongside Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix and E! News host Justin Sylvester.
Here's hoping that Cynthia can use some of that Wicked magic to get Leakes back on our TV screens.
