Leakes is known for her outspoken personality and quick wit, which has made her one of the most popular and controversial cast members on RHOA. She has also appeared on other reality television shows, including Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing with the Stars, and Glee.
Aside from her reality television career, Leakes has also dabbled in acting. She made her debut as a series regular on the NBC sitcom The New Normal in 2012. She has also had guest appearances on other shows, including The Wendy Williams Show, The View, and The Steve Harvey Show.

In addition to her clothing line, Leakes has also authored a book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice: Lessons on Love and Life Learned the Hard Way. The book is a memoir of her life, from her childhood in Athens, Georgia, to her rise to fame on RHOA.
One of Leakes’ most notable moments on RHOA was her feud with fellow cast member Kim Zolciak-Biermann. The two had a tumultuous relationship, with Leakes accusing Zolciak-Biermann of being racist and Zolciak-Biermann accusing Leakes of being jealous of her success.

It was hard.”
Since leaving RHOA, Leakes has continued to make media appearances and has hinted at possible new television projects in the works. Fans eagerly await what’s next for this dynamic, outspoken, and entertaining television personality.
