        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She&#8217;s giving up her prized peach.</p><p>After <strong>months of discussion between her team and Bravo</strong>, &#8220;Real Housewives of Atlanta&#8221; star NeNe Leakes will not be returning for the hit franchise&#8217;s 13th season.</p><p>&#8220;I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,&#8221; the reality star, 52, revealed to fans <strong>via her YouTube channel</strong> on Thursday. &#8220;There&#8217;s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of &#8216;Real Housewives of Atlanta,&#8217; Season 13. It wasn&#8217;t an easy decision for me. It was hard.&#8221;</p><p>Leakes went on to reminisce over her time on the series, which started with the show&#8217;s debut season in 2008. She took a break from the show during Seasons 8 and 9, only to return for Seasons 10-12.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just so happy that I can say that I was a part of a genre that opened up doors for black ensemble reality shows,&#8221; Leakes said.</p><p>She went on to thank anyone who has ever &#8220;looked up&#8221; to her, her production company and Bravo for &#8220;all the memories, the laughs, the tears.&#8221;</p><p>Leakes later addressed reports that someone from her team put out a statement last week regarding her quitting the show, saying, &#8220;I have no knowledge of it, I didn&#8217;t approve it.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;When something is this important and this near and dear to my heart, I always want to be the person to address you.&#8221;</p><p>Leakes signed off, &#8220;I will see you again real soon,&#8221; possibly teasing her return to the small screen.</p><p>While she may be putting an amicable spin on her split from Bravo, Leakes has tweeted several cryptic messages <strong>alluding to mistreatment</strong> by Bravo over the past few months.</p><p >&#8220;We wish NeNe all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for sharing her journey for over a decade with the fans of &#8216;The Real Housewives of Atlanta,&#8217;&#8221; Bravo told Page Six in a statement. &#8220;She’s been instrumental since the start and will truly be missed, and maybe one day she’ll hold the peach again.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
