NeNe Leakes is leaving “Real Housewives of Atlanta” after eight years on the show.
“This was definitely a hard decision for me,” Leakes told People on Monday. “Me and my husband [Gregg Leakes] have been going back and forth on it for weeks now. But my contract is up and I just think this is the right time.
“This is my opportunity to spread my wings and do different things,” she added.
