Since the conclusion of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 6 the rumor mill has been buzzing regarding the return of Porsha Williams and NeNe Leakes to the show for another season.

Earlier this month Leakes, the show’s breakout star, posted a cryptic tweet alluding to a possible departure, however recently she gave an update to Life and Style magazine as she revealed her demands for a raise from Bravo’s top rated series in addition to her displeasure over last season.

“All of us deserve a raise,” she declared to the weekly glossy. “I haven’t asked for more money yet, but I damn sure plan to!”

“Everybody has been invited back, but I don’t know exactly what I’m doing. This past season was very dark and toxic; there was a lot of negativity. I just don’t want to work with so much negativity.”
