“How dare we celebrate 20 years of Housewives and leave out the Nene Leakes?” says Porsha in a confessional, before revealing exactly when viewers can expect to see Nene again on Bravo.”The queen herself will be making an appearance when we enter Atlanta.”
Porsha explains that The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th follows her, Vicki Gunvalson, Luann de Lesseps, Teresa Giudice, Kyle Richards, Gizelle Bryant and Lisa Barlow as they revisit iconic moments from across the Housewives universe while reconnecting with familiar faces across the country from the franchise’s 20-year history.
“This whole thing is about iconic Housewives, but what about the iconic Housewife?” she adds, “For you, after all this time, to come back for the 20-year anniversary is huge.”
