NeNe Leakes Thinks 'RHOA' Cast 'Should Be Changed Up a Bit' (Exclusive)

"In my opinion, yes -- the cast should be changed up a bit," NeNe told TooFab in a recent interview. "If I had it my way, I would get rid of two girls and bring in two new ones for excitement. You know, after a while with some of the girls, they just don't have anything going on exciting enough to be a main cast member."

"But I better keep who I think should go to myself because the moment I say anything, all hell breaks loose," she added.

NeNe said Porsha should not have taken offense to what she said because the two "were not friends" at the time of NeNe's "Watch What Happens Live" interview.

"I think Porsha needed something to run with and that's what she did," NeNe said. "Porsha and I hadn't spoken to each other since the Season 8 reunion show. We were not friends! I was free to say and feel whatever I wanted to. I didn't cross any friendship lines. Porsha stopped speaking to me simply because I gave her advice that quite frankly was good advice."

Regarding the status of her current relationship with Porsha, NeNe was coy, telling TooFab, "You'll have to continue watching to see where our relationship goes."

Season 10 was NeNe's big return to the Bravo series, which she said took hardly any adjustments.

"It really didn't feel like I ever left," NeNe said. "Even when I wasn't on the show, I was still in contact with some of the girls. I did Andy's 'Watch What Happens Live' and was always being questioned about the season. Once a housewife, always a housewife."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs Sunday nights on Bravo.
