AceShowbiz - Considering her recent fallout with other "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-stars, many people may think that NeNe Leakes is probably considering to quit the show. However, the idea of leaving apparently never crosses her mind despite the ongoing feud between her and other cast members including Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss.
"NeNe has no plans to walk away from 'RHOA'," a source reveals to HollywoodLife.com. "She truly appreciates what it has done for her career and she's telling those around her that she won't walk away despite the fact that she's not talking to the majority of her cast members."
The source went on saying that "there has been minimal contact between the ladies -- Cynthia, NeNe, Porsha and Kandi -- since the reunion has filmed." NeNe unfollowed almost most of her co-stars after taping for the explosive reunion, though she still followed Marlo Hampton and Shamari DeVoe.
Meanwhile, it is said that the filming for the next season "is supposed to begin again in May or June at the absolute latest."
The feud between NeNe and Porsha started after the closet drama in the March 3 episode of "RHOA" season 11. A cameraman tried to follow Porsha and Kandi who went snooping inside NeNe's closet despite the latter's objection, forcing her to get violent. Porsha, who was heavily pregnant at the time, seemingly alluded that NeNe attacked her and caused her belt came off of her, though NeNe denied the allegations. NeNe even claimed that Porsha did a voiceover for her scream in the episode.
Meanwhile, NeNe's and Cynthia's relationship turned ugly after Kenya Moore was invited to Cynthia's party without letting her know. The season finale suggested that Cynthia knew all along that Kenya would be coming despite initially claiming that she didn't. She, however, denied it during her appearance on Kandi's YouTube video and blamed it on the editing.
Now, it is reported that "NeNe's primary focus right now is on taking care of Gregg [Leakes]," who recently completed his 6-month chemotherapy after being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2018. "It's been a huge stressor in her life and getting him better is her number one concern," says the source.
