Leakes' return was previously suggested by "RHOA" superfan Cynthia Erivo, which Leakes appreciated: "Cynthia, I love you, thank you so much!"

Leakes said that a surprising number of celebrities watch “Real Housewives.” Among them: “Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo, who recently revealed to W Magazine that the show — especially the Atlanta and Potomac, Maryland, seasons — was one of her guilty pleasures.

Cynthia Erivo is a known fan of The Real Housewives franchise and recently expressed her wish to have Nene Leakes return.

Despite being such an iconic part of The Real Housewives franchise and one of the original stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has been absent from the franchise and didn't exactly leave Bravo on good terms.
