After many sites reported that Leakes was returning to the Bravo hit reality show as a full-time cast member, the possibilities of her holding a peach are now less due to her "busy schedule."
She's been busy with a HSN clothing line, one woman tour, new game show on ABC network and a stint on "Fashion Police."
Sources claim that producers have added at least one new cast member, and NeNe -- the only remaining OG ATL housewife -- doesn't look to be part of plans going forward.
The source added that "guest appearances" are always a possibility, but as of now producers aren't counting on having NeNe.
However, NeNe Leakes took to Twitter to set the record straight claiming that she's never too busy for RHOA. Leakes confirmed that she's not returning to Season 9 and revealed that it was not her choice.
"LIES! I'm NEVER too busy for more work! I've ALWAYS supported RHOA," wrote Leakes.
