Just days after news broke of Eva Marcille’s departure from Real Housewives of Atlanta, rumors have surfaced that an original housewife might be getting the ax—but she’s denying them.

LoveBScott who broke the news of Phaedra Parks’ firing, reports that the RHOA O.G. NeNe Leakes has not been offered an opportunity to return to ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ for season 13.

According to the blogger, pickup letters went out last Friday via emails to each of the ladies’ representatives and NeNe did not get one.

Just before the news dropped NeNe tweeted and deleted; “You are not gonna get away with this! I promise.”

Rumors are swirling that the tweet was directed to Bravo exec Andy Cohen.

Prior to the firing rumors, people speculated that she’d be suing Bravo and Truly Original, the production company behind RHOA, with help from attorney Lisa Bloom. NeNe uploaded a photo of the attorney alongside a caption that read: “Happy I now have @lisabloomesq on my team! I’ve stayed quiet a long time and gathered info along the way. Now I’m gonna make some noise #waitforit #unfair in confidence go here👉🏾booknene@gmail.com.”

She followed it up with a pic of Lisa captioned, “#Wecomingforyou.”

The photo came before those comments NeNe made about someone (Kandi) continuously getting spinoff shows but there’s speculation that that’s why she enlisted the high profile attorney.

LoveBScott adds that in addition to NeNe’s alleged lawsuit threats, NeNe’s history of issues with producers and fellow castmates played a part in her firing. They noted that she started off season 12 suspended following her physical altercation with one of the cameramen in season 11 during that closet kerfuffle. The cameraman’s tooth was reportedly chipped during the melee.

This season she also blew up on a producer in Greece, and walked off the set multiple times during the season 12 virtual reunion, claiming she was being “targeted.” The reported final nail in the coffin was NeNe’s recent Twitter episode in which she retweeted a call for Andy Cohen to be fired.

She also tweeted;

All of these companies comin out with large contributions towards social justice! Clearly there r lots of executives sitting in these offices with no heart & no feelings! U sit there knowin that a black person hasn’t been treated equal! I just want u to know, your a piece of shit

Just days ago the Internet was appalled when NeNe compared he being “ganged up on” during the RHOA Reunion to the police “ganging up on George Floyd.”

Amid the firing rumors, NeNe has tweeted laughing emojis.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

So far, the other RHOA stars are silent on NeNe’s alleged firing but Porsha Williams recently confirmed that she got her pickup letter.

If this BIG news is true it means that TWO peaches are up for grabs. Fans are adamant that one of them should go to former housewife Phaedra Parks.

Always up for a challenge! WE ARE BLACK WOMEN. We build.. We do not tear down other BLACK WOMEN.. we have felt the pain of being torn down and have decided to be deliberate about building up others! Too often WOMEN find it easier to tear each other down instead of picking each other up. With the negativity around us let’s do something positive! LETS BUILD each other! #Black is #beautiful 🖤👑 📸: @medinadidit

Happy Sunday everyone! Try to keep smiling thru the pain! There are so many people that need to right their wrongs and that is a shame! The racial inequality and violence MUST STOP against the black community! We deserve equal rights! I won’t stop fighting! I won’t stop speaking out until you make it right #blacklivesmatter #mylifematters We MUST unite

NeNe’s rep says the rumors of her firing are absolutely not true.

In a statement to HollywoodLife, NeNe’s manager Steven Grossman said;

“It is absolutely not true that Nene has been fired from RHOA. Furthermore, it was made abundantly clear prior that she will always be welcome on the series as long as she wants to be.” He also said, “We are having on-going bigger picture conversations with NBC Universal and have not made any decisions regarding next season specifically. Any speculation or sources trying to create controversy by stating otherwise are incredibly inaccurate.”

Bravo has also responded, noting there is “absolutely no truth” to the report that NeNe was fired, adds Hollywood Life.

WELP!

SWIPE: So many of you continue asking me about how i tie my scarf Listen I’ve had a good time with them too because prior to covid19, i would just buy scarves because i thought they were pretty but didn’t use them much! Maybe some times threw them around my shoulders if i was chilly🤷🏽‍♀️ Chile I have TONS of scarves Some of them i have 2 of the same colors! Maybe they were on sale or gifted to me😝 Well now i can finally play with them! I took some to the alterations shop to cut because some be real long. That way i can wear on my head and around my face. Try it and put your scarves to good use! Certain material slides off your head so i use my fabulous headbands @deepagurnani to secure it. Next time you go out, make it cute girls. I told @marlohampton to put her’s to good use so you know she gone turn it up bout 100 notches! She probably wear 10 at one time Chile 😂🤣 #makeitfashion #glam #gucci
