*NeNe Leakes has addressed recent reports that she was “too busy” to continue on for another season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which has been taping around town for the past several weeks with the original cast member reportedly nowhere to be found.

TMZ was the first to report that NeNe would not be returning for Season 9, claiming in its headline that she was “too busy” to come back. The reality star denied the story in a tweet, saying, “LIES, I’m NEVER too busy for more work! I’ve ALWAYS supported RHOA.”

When a fan asked if her tweet meant that she will indeed return to the show, NeNe replied, “No, but to no fault of mine.” She added: “Never 2 busy 4 show that launched my career! There r people too busy not wanting me there! Facts.” And also: “Let’s be clear…I am loyal & faithful! I’m NEVER 2 busy 4 an1 or anything that has helped launched my career.”

The story behind those tweets, according to Straight From the A’s ATLIEN, is that NeNe had actually been waiting for Bravo to get in touch with her about filming…but they never did, probably because they won’t use her until later in the season.

The website’s source states:

Leakes was under the impression that she would be returning full time and got her nose done in anticipation of filming.

I assure you, had she known that they didn’t want and/or need her to shoot in June, she would not have rushed to get her nose fixed… and she wouldn’t have appeared on talk shows with it all swollen and obvious!

The website also claims Nene “was promised full time pay for full time work when in actuality, producers circled back and asked her to appear as she did last year, but with fewer appearances and less pay.

“Clearly, Bravo wanted to keep fans interested in the show by promising they would get Nene Leakes by any means necessary, but it seems she won’t actually be appearing much in season 9 either, and it’s not her doing… it’s theirs!

“So no… Nene’s not ‘too busy’! That’s a load of bull that Bravo is apparently trying to sell RHOA fans. Mark my words, she’ll probably film a few episodes and then producers will include it in the sizzle reel so that fans will THINK she’s there the entire season… just like they’ve fooled y’all last year during that 3-part reunion show.”
