Former RHOA star Nene Leakes is embracing all opportunities coming her way since cutting ties with the hit Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Since the official announcement that she would not be returning for season 8 of the show, the hunt began for her replacement and many names have been rumored to try to fill her shoes. However, in her recent Twitter posts Leakes revealed that not only is she working on a new show but she also let it be known that no matter what, there will never be another Nene. She went so far as to throw shade and insults at rumored cast members, suggesting they were jealous or they wouldn't be talking about her so much.
Fans of the Bravo hit show will certainly miss the larger than life personality of Leakes, who has coined phrases like, "I'm Very Rich" and "Girl Bye" to the point of profiting from the phrases with her very own clothing line; featuring the slogans on tee shirts. The success of the reality series has opened doors for her to star in a Broadway musical, Cinderella; staring in music videos and television shows and ultimately landed her a co-hosting gig on E!'s Fashion Police alongside Melissa Rivers. Now it seems the Atlanta star could have a new show up her sleeve that takes place in her kitchen, or at least showcases just how fabulous her kitchen and home appears to be.
From her Instagram and Twitter account on Thursday morning, she posted this photo:

On Twitter, she concluded that more details would follow later but in the meantime, she was heading to L.A. for the Emmy's. There's no question that the mother of two remains booked and employed. There have even been speculations that Leakes could be considering re-joining the Real Housewives franchise, but this time with the women of Beverly Hills.
Not sure how the ladies of the Atlanta cast would feel about that but, then again, in the words of current RHOA star Kenya Moore, life seems to be "twirling on" for these women as they move forward with the filming of season 8. There have been rumors that transgender model Amiyah Scott could be joining the cast to replace Leakes but in true Nene fashion, she quickly shut down that rumor, or at least tried to.
Rolling Out reported Scott had been seen filming with some of the season 8 cast mates and rumors began to fly but Leakes reportedly addressed the rumors saying fans should not believe everything they hear. "All lies," she explained. "It's just a way to get everybody to tune in. Guarantee you that. None of those people that you've been hearing about will be Housewives." Since the remark from Leakes it seems things on Twitter have been heating up. Scott tweeted about lack of support from transgenders, where people believe the post was addressed to Leakes. Followed by a post from Leakes days later.
