Fans slam Sheree Whitfield for excluding 'RHOA' alum NeNe Leakes in show teaser: 'It’s not a real reunion without her'
ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Fans have eagerly anticipated NeNe Leakes' return to 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta,' and in a recent TMZ interview, she was asked if she's open to coming back to the show after her departure in September 2020. NeNe responded with a clever hint, saying, "I would say check the ratings," and when pressed for more, she simply added, "That should give you an answer."
Creating a buzz among fans, Sheree Whitfield posted a photo on Instagram featuring the original cast members of the Bravo series, but to their surprise, NeNe was noticeably absent, leaving them puzzled. Fans questioned why Sheree left out NeNe, the one who brought so much entertainment to the show.

Her caption read, "The OGs will be in the house this Sunday on RHOA. Can't wait for you to see us catch up and maybe even check one another. What is your most memorable moment from season 1?
