"She wanted to be a part of the show," NeNe Leakes told MomLogic.com. "Production decided they weren't going to option her for the second season. I think the reason... is that she wasn't as outgoing or talkative as we were. We're drama queens and to roll with us, you've got to be a drama queen."
"I didn't see it coming," DeShawn told Essence on Wednesday. "I was shocked because I just talked to them in December about the new season."

She admitted she wasn't the most dramatic member of the cast's quintet.
"I'm not the type to go 'television' and start acting crazy because somebody's talking about me," she said. "I suppose the show took a different direction and they no longer see me as the right fit."
One woman who's been rumored to replace her is Usher 's wife, Tameka Foster , but the R&B star's spouse told the New York Daily News she wouldn't be on the show.

"Although [Bravo] approached me, and I was flattered by the offer, I will not be joining the 'Real Housewives' cast," she told the paper.
Bravo is indeed looking for new housewives in Atlanta for the show, a rep for the network told Access Hollywood, but would not confirm any casting rumors.
As for NeNe - she's keeping the drama going, even if it's just over her hairstyle.
"On the show I did have long hair and I did have extensions and people would say, 'She's got a weave,'" she told MomLogic. "Well, honey, I'm not denying [it]. I love weaves. I'm not denying it. I never once said 'I'm [not] wearing extensions.' [Fellow 'Housewife'] Kim [Zolciak] was trying to make an excuse for wearing a wig."

BravoNene, eventually Bravo fans saw your true spirit come out progressively through the show. You tried to blame the Bravo show editors for making you look like a villain. No Nene - the fact is Bravo fans saw what you truly are = a Lumpy Moose who is a Rotten Atlanta Peach to the core! Regarding assault: Kim including anyone who is has been physically assaulted by you should have had you arrested. Youreport abuseposted October 21, 2009 2:43 PM PDT
