Nothing gets past Bravoholics! During Sunday night’s (June 11) episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, keen-eyed viewers were quick to call out Bravo for seemingly editing fan-favorite star Nene Leakes out of a flashback photo amidst her ongoing legal dispute with the network.

The episode opened with the current cast portrait, before switching to the cast photo from 2011’s Season 4 — which starred Leakes, Sheree WhitfieldCynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss.

However, Leakes — who officially left the show in 2020 — was clearly missing from the picture, despite standing on the far right side of Parks in the original, leaving many fans to call out the network for the apparent diss.

“Erasing NeNe from the flashback on tonight’s episode was petty and unnecessary,” one wrote. “⁣This is clearly a complicated legal situation but the constant shade towards someone so crucial to the franchise’s success isn’t a good look.”

Another fumed, “I’m so glad that people are kinda outraged at Nene being erased like that. Y’all can’t just erase her legacy. Say what you want, but she put housewives (and Bravo) on the map.”

“Petty and nasty! Andy and Bravo, no amount of editing could erase Nene’s contributions and legacy. You could never erase Nene from our memories either; she built #RHOA,” a third person fumed. “Lawsuit or not this was unnecessary.”

Someone else added, “We’re canceling bravo for removing nene from the intro aka the woman who made rhoa what it is.”

Leakes even took to Twitter to shade Bravo in response to viewer outrage over the incident.

“Thank you tweetie pies for all of your DM’s and comments! I see everything you are sending to me!” she wrote. “It’s really just a shame people can do these things and get away wit it. If only you really knew! If only you knew.”

Decider has reached out to a rep for RHOA for comment but did not hear back by time of publication.

The snub comes amid the former reality star’s legal dispute with Bravo, executive producer Andy Cohen and more after she filed a lawsuit in April 2022 claiming she worked in a hostile and racist environment during her tenure on the series.

Leakes, who the suit describes as Bravo’s “historically most successful Black female talent,” also alleged that she was the “target of systemic racism” by her former co-star Zolciak, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“NBC, Bravo and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,” the suit — which did not name Zolciak directly — claimed.

Leakes ultimately dropped the lawsuit in August 2022, according to court documents obtained by Deadline.
