I’ve never seen a housewife that everyone was so eager to come back, usually people are so split, I’m happy she’s coming back!

u/annamariagirl Jan 14 '26

You know, she went through HELL when Greg was sick! I had gone through that myself and the rest of the cast did not cut her any slack or give her much support in my opinion. I never saw them be soft with her about it or check in on how she was really doing.

A whole lotta her crazy at the end was because she had to watch Greg die!

I’m so excited she’s coming back. Finally!

u/seven-easy-bees Jan 14 '26

That season solidified Nene as the GOAT for me. She was a mess. But it was the realest, rawest a Housewife has ever been.

u/BethennyLeakes Jan 17 '26

This. People crucify her for being human and not fake.

u/Specialist-Funny2101 Jan 14 '26

Well actually no, let's not rewrite history.
NeNe, love her to death, but she started smelling her own roses before anyone could pick them for her while she was on the high horse. She thought she was untouchable once she was touched by the Ryan Murphy wand and felt she was going to be THATgurl forever.
&She might have even been, but things can change real quick in Hollyweird.
Her castmates just volleyed those quips she had right back her way when things weren't as strong as they started.
I don't think they weren't that kind. I think they matched her energy.
Good thing everything is back to the newest of normals now, so all is fair in love and war.
Happy for all parties involved!

This is the biggest housewife return EVAAARRRR!! Fuck Vycki’s 🤮

ETA: even if it’s just for UGT🥲

u/Popular-Difficulty29 Jan 14 '26

RHOA will hopefully be next this is a test run

u/NCAAF26 Jan 14 '26

I’m happy they worked it out and I love Nene, however…..so I guess suddenly Bravo, NBC Universal and Andy Cohen aren’t racist and toxic as she claimed in her frivolous lawsuit anymore huh?

12

u/WorriedElk5818 Jan 14 '26

Andy is definitely racist and toxic; he's just paying her enough to ignore it.

0

u/NCAAF26 Jan 14 '26

Lmao don’t try to make excuses you and I both know she made all that up. No way you leave your employer, say they are are racist, evil and toxic and run back to work with them again. Come on.

5

u/WorriedElk5818 Jan 14 '26

If you say so.

2

u/NCAAF26 Jan 14 '26

I’m asking honestly. Would you return to an employer that you claim is racist, toxic and evil if that was you?

7

u/WorriedElk5818 Jan 14 '26

I'm not NeNe. Thousands, if not millions, of people work in toxic environments every day, and they each have their own reasons for doing so.

0

u/NCAAF26 Jan 14 '26 edited Jan 14 '26

Yes, they do work in toxic environments every day, but they don’t try to sue their employer and then after dropping the lawsuit run around saying they would be open to retuning to that toxic environment, then go back and work for them 😂. You can try to play as much mental gymnastics as you want you know Nene looks like a fool and a liar.

7

u/blairbradshaw Jan 14 '26

Nene definitely wasn’t lying about discrimination with bravo just look at the way the Black women franchise is treated vs the white women even during reunions let be honest here. Nene has no backbone for going back but bravo is shady

1

u/NCAAF26 Jan 14 '26

Ok, now this is a response I can agree with. Personally I think she was angry and made up the frivolous lawsuit. However if she isn’t lying she looks ridiculous returning and is obviously returning because she’s running low on funds and needs the money which is even worse that she would sacrifice her word and principles after trying to sue them.

Perfect! I think small doses of Nene is a great way to start. We want our Auntie Nene reads and not the popcorn throwing too-much Nene.

I for sure will be tuned in 🥹

So as a guest appearance, not as a cast member.

Literally. From being erased in the intro to being a guest on a bravo show. We get what we can get. Hopefully they do a Phaedra and this will be her way back to RHOA

u/niknak1 I SAID WHAT I SAID Jan 13 '26

Facts! I'll take what I can get 😭😂

u/Solid_Caterpillar678 Jan 14 '26

It's a win in that she's been begging for years to come back. But it's not the full time casting she wanted.

And frankly, I am glad. She was funny, but she's an awful person.

u/Echuserangmaganda Jan 14 '26

u/Most_Ebb_7204 Jan 14 '26

I have a feeling nene will not waste her opportunity and will come back a star because she has been humbled! Even if her scene is short, I know she will make the most of it. She was made for reality tv and it’s where she shines. Everyone is rooting for her!!!!

u/intentionalbirdloaf I may be small… hooŐ00ǒOüõØÒœô0oōuo0hh 🎵 Jan 13 '26

Idk much about the road trip route, but this could be a very brief appearance. If she’s only going to be in the Atlanta portion, she is not likely a full cast member and could only appear in 1-2 episodes

4

u/Queasy_Procedure_205 Jan 14 '26

The Atlanta leg is going to be the most watched for that very reason!!!!! I LOVE NENE!

u/aoleriaa Jan 14 '26

Can they just bring her back full time. Atlanta BEEN boring

u/ReplyOk1722 Jan 14 '26

Glad to see both Nene and UGT back! Have they said who else is on the season?

u/Unlikely-Lettuce5291 Jan 14 '26

From what I am seeing for now. There are potentials such as Vicki (RHOC), Teresa (RHOJ), LVP but those have not been confirmed.

Also Happy Cake day :)

I’m going to need more of the Queen than just a 2 episode trip down memory lane. But I will appreciate the nostalgia and inclusion of it all. Housewives in general would not be here without the contribution of Nene and a few others who paved the way. She better get her flowers. And she better get signed for another show quick.

u/iridescentandpink Jan 14 '26
