NeNe Leakes is quitting 'RHOA' after 7 seasons because she couldn't get the huge bucks she was asking for and now the show’s worried she might be taking all her fans with her.
Wel informed sources says the reason for the NeNe’s change of heart had to do with contract negotiations.
Everyone part of the show is at a loss for words over NeNe’s sudden departure since the show was just about to start filming its new season in the next couple of weeks.
Cast members have been dropping like flies recently but now producers are scrambling because they just lost their queen bee.
The show already found a replacement -- actress, model and singer Kim Fields -- but no one can really replace NeNe who was arguably the network’s biggest star.
NeNe is going to be focusing on new projects outside the biz ... one of which is her own clothing store.
