“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum NeNe Leakes isn’t shocked by Kenya Moore’s recent departure from the Bravo reality series following the latter’s sex poster scandal.

“I don’t know if I was surprised,” Leakes, 56, told E! News on Friday.

“I know that over the years Kenya has always pushed the boundaries a little bit.”

Leakes, who appeared on “RHOA” from Season 1 in 2008 to Season 12 in 2020, continued: “Listen, these girls do a lot of stuff. I don’t think it surprises me at all.”

While the former Bravolebrity has been involved in her fair share of cast feuds, she said she’s been in contact with Moore, current stars Porsha Williams and Drew Sidora, as well as her former castmates Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield and Marlo Hampton.

“We don’t talk every day,” Leakes told the outlet, “but when we do see each other, there’s no conflict. There’s no hard feelings. In fact, we laugh about it.”

Now that Williams is back on the show for Season 16, Leakes wants Parks — who currently stars on Bravo’s “Married to Medicine” — to return as well.

“‘Housewives’ is how viewers know her, and to me, if she’s going to be on a platform, it should be on the ‘Housewives’ platform, not ‘Married to Medicine,'” Leakes said.

“I think Phaedra would be a good addition again.”

Page Six revealed early last month that Moore, 53, had been suspended indefinitely from “RHOA” after shocking attendees at her salon’s opening party with zoomed-in footage of newcomer Brittany Eady performing oral sex.

We’re told that cameras were rolling at the Season 16 distribution event and that an investigation was subsequently launched.

“My life is blessed. My daughter and I will continue to thrive in a non-toxic environment where we feel valued and most importantly protected,” Moore said in a statement after announcing her departure.

“Thank you God for covering us. 🙏🏾.”

Earlier this week, Page Six confirmed that Parks, 50, was in negotiations to return to the show following Moore’s departure.

Parks, who was on “RHOA” from Season 3 in 2010 to Season 9 in 2017, is in talks with the network about filming the current season.

Moore, for his part, began his run on the series in 2012’s season 5.
