It might come as a surprise to most RHOA fans that dominating character NeNe Leakes is leaving the show.

Several reports suggest that 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 7 filming will be the last for Leakes, especially after a post the reality star took to Twitter to say that she is tired of being "the subject of abuse" by her co-stars.

An Instagram post created by Cynthia Bailey suggests the theory, with a picture that shows a photo of herself posing with Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Demetria McKinney and Claudia Jordan. McKinney and Jordan are rumored to be the new The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 7 cast members, and the photo suggests that the two are having an appearance in the upcoming season.

Fans commented on the photo, saying that the next season will be "messy." The controversy surrounding the ladies and their personal lives are always overwhelming for them, and messy could mean bad to worse.

However, Leakes and other The Real Housewives of Atlant cast regulars, Porsha Williams and Phaedra Parks were not seen in the photo, suggesting that their appearances will be lessened once Season 7 arrives.

Leakes is also busy filming her role in Glee, suggesting that she will indeed bid goodbye to the show that helped her make a mark in television.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that Kandi Burruss is already pregnant, and her mother-in-law Miss Sharon spoke to Radar Online about the allegations.

"I think they want to get pregnant. I would love that...And I'm pretty sure if she does get pregnant, she'll announce it on the show," Miss Sharon told Radar Online.

She added, "As far as I know, I don't think [Kandi is pregnant yet]. I think they would have told me. I'm sure they would tell me once they are."
