NeNe Leakes Says She Misses Original 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Castmates
NeNe Leakes, the 46-year-old actress and cast member of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," is missing her previous cast members fired.
Out of six seasons of the popular Bravo network television show, Leakes is the only original cast member left. While DeShawn Snow, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak have left one by one from seasons one through five, Leakes is revealing why she is missing some of the former stars of the show.
"I never thought in a million years that I would say this, but I kind of miss the old girls a little bit," Leakes told "Good Morning America" recently.

The actress and reality television star revealed why she was thinking about her former co-stars.
"The deal is, we started together, and it was a sort of like a journey that we had together, so I miss them in that way," she said on GMA.
Leakes previously insisted that she has had nothing to do with her former cast mates' departures.
"I was the first housewife in and I think that's why people assume that. I was the very first housewife and I referred Kim and Sheree and DeShawn Snow; that was season one," Leakes revealed on the Serius XM radio show "Sway In The Morning." "I don't have nothing on Bravo. They do their own hiring and firing, so I had no hand in that."
Leakes seemed proud that she made it through six seasons of the hit reality television series.
"I am the last original housewife standing, so that should tell you a lot," she told radio host Sway Calloway.
The actress and reality television star shared her recipe for success while appearing on the radio show.
"Staying true to who I am has brought me so far," Leakes said. "I've never been the type of girl to use people to get where I wanted to go, I probably could have gotten here a lot sooner, I just waited for my time."
