As Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes, 58, confirmed her return to Bravo, thanking Porsha Williams, 44, and Phaedra Parks, 52, for keeping her name out there over the years, Andy, 57, shared which seven Real Housewives would be featured on the new season.
“I am thrilled to announce the principal cast for the highly anticipated new season of the Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. We are celebrating 20 years of housewives with seven iconic women visiting legendary housewives cities and meeting up with dozens of familiar Bravo faces along the way. Without further ado, the first person who I can confirm tonight, and you will hear the principal cast all tonight, [the] first person who I can confirm will be joining the next Ultimate Girls Trip is Porsha Williams,” Andy announced on the January 14 episode of WWHL.

Around the same time, Nene took to her own Instagram page, where she shared an emotional video with her fans and followers about her reported cameo on Ultimate Girls Trip.
“Hey, you guys, it’s your girl, Nene Leakes. So where do I start?” she began, seemingly holding back tears.
“This has been a really long, long journey, and gosh, I am happy, overjoyed to say that I will be returning to Bravo. I almost can’t even believe the words that are coming out of my mouth. I’m so happy. I’m just so happy,” she gushed. “[And] I have to thank a lot of people.”
In addition to thanking Andy and the “many executives behind the scenes who have worked to make this happen,” Nene thanked everyone at Bravo, its production companies, including Truly Original and Shed Media, and her fellow talent.
“Porsha Williams, thank you so much. You know how I feel about you. You’re my little sister. Phaedra Parks. Thank you so much, Phaedra, for keeping my name going, and all of you guys and all of you ladies who constantly say my name and keep my name out in the ring. I appreciate you guys so much,” she shared.
Then, as the video came to an end, Nene expressed excitement.
“I’m just doggone excited to do this. I’m excited to see all of you girls. It’s gonna be a time. It’s going to be a time!” she declared. ”Yes! B*tches, I am back! Okay, now pick your faces up off the floor, okay? See you on Bravo. Love you.”
