What Happened to Former ‘RHOA’ Stars?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta has bid farewell to numerous cast members since its premiere on Bravo in 2008 — yet there’s always the possibility of their return.
Take, for example, original RHOA star NeNe Leakes, who left the show during season 7 but made her comeback to the cast in 2018. “It’s been a long process but we’ve finally reached an agreement! All hail the Queen for season 10 of #RHOA @bravotv #thethreatisback,” she tweeted a year prior.
After two seasons, NeNe departed from the show once more in 2019.
Meanwhile, some cast members, like Kim Fields, felt that one season was sufficient for them.
“At the beginning of the season, what did my mama say? ‘Get in and get out,’” the Facts of Life star remarked in a 2016 episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show after appearing in season 8. “Listen to your mama.”
As RHOA enthusiasts gear up for season 17 in 2026, check below to see what former cast members are up to now:
