It’s no secret fans are ecstatic that NeNe Leakes has come back to The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo. But new reports say she might not be too happy about her return.

One insider said Thursday, “Bravo execs want to bring NeNe back full time next year. The fans miss NeNe and even though there is tons of drama this year without her, with her back it would just take the show to the next level.”

But Leakes didn’t necessarily leave the series on the best terms with her co-stars; some of them she dubbed as "mean girls."

The source added, “NeNe isn’t ready to return to the show next year, however.”

But she might not have a choice.

She has been starring on E!’s Fashion Police, which is a sister station of Bravo. Both networks are under the NBC Universal umbrella, which could play a part in Leakes staying on the series for longer than she hoped.

“NeNe seems to think she is better than doing reality television and has moved on from ‘RHOA.’ Going back would be a step back in her plan to become a global brand. She has a clothing line, and no longer wants to be associated with a reality show.”

But it’s no secret that Leakes is the Queen Bee of the show.

“RHOA continues to be Bravo’s crown and the network wants it to shine. With NeNe.”
