NeNe Leakes is suing Bravo Network AND Andy Cohen

She claims the network, the producers, the execs and Andy etc. all create a toxic environment and enable/accept racism. Lmao.

I’m so over her.

Truth is NO ONE will hire her so now she’s suing to try and make an easy and final paycheck. Ryan Murphy won’t hire her, Bravo won’t hire her, E! Won’t hire her… she’s burnt every bridge she ever had.

That is some amazing plastic surgery. She is visually another person. That must have cost a fortune. No wonder she has to sue.

I always found that series HWOA incredibly demeaning. I couldn't believe anyone would sign on to portray such trashy, lowlifes. But signed on they did, collected the paychecks & cashed them. Think the reality is you did it to yourself for money, honey.

If you read the complaint it is ridiculous. She claims Kim Zolciak made racist comments but Bravo did nothing after Nene complained. She claims the show would not let her promote BLM yet the spent a whole season following Porsche protesting and supporting BLM...Nene is just desperate because she has no income.

This is a PR stunt by Bravo to get people to start talking about RHOA because the new season premiere is right around the corner!

Nene is just pissed because she thought she was going to get the Kenya treatment. Let go then brought back, except when they let her go she trashed everybody. There is no way they can bring her back she has no relationships on the show with the women. Nene was probably the most successful outside of the show save for Bethanny but she is so unprofessional she burned every bridge. Murphy loved her but won't take her calls, same with Tyler Perry.

Her "breakout" was engineered by others, not her. She was used by media people who figured they could make some money on this big, mouthy black woman. They made their money and then they had no more use for her and her fortunes began to falter. They didn't figure she was the type who didn't have the intelligence to see just how far to take her big mouth, and when to back off.

Yes, Nene overplayed her hand and didn't play the long game. I doubt she saved money. She was always showing off material things. At one point, she had a house (new or new-ish) with no furniture. Then, she opens some type of bar / restaurant. Bad business move.

r83 that is hilarious that you think KIM ZOLCIAK was put on RHOA to elevate the brand. Yes you are off base! Kim was trash. If anything she detracted from the rest of the women, especially Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks who were successful in their own right before joining the show. Just because this was the first predominately black cast doesn't mean they shucked & jived.

Nene was the reason the Housewives collectively took off and the other franchises followed the model. Nene did let it go to her head and she is difficult to work with, her Celebrity Apprentice appearance is when people started seeing what a monster she can be. I think she needs to just let it go, she had a great run, over a decade on reality TV making good money. The RHOA has basically run its course, Kandi has her own programs now so they need just get a new cast or cancel it.

I don't agree with that at all. The Atlanta women were no different than any other franchise, other than being mostly black. All those women live above their means, are fame hungry, and delusional. Even Beverly Hills. While many of the BH ladies had money and some connections, they were just as thirsty and dysfunctional as the other franchises. If you saw shucking and jiving in Atlanta, that was you projecting.

by Anonymousreply 95April 23, 2022 9:03 PM

Real Houswives are just trash TV entertainment. 99% of the drama comes from cast member A telling cast member B about what cast member C said behind cast member B's back and then a big confrontation between cm B and cm C at some random party starting a whole feud and the rest of the cast having to pick sides and getting into their own fights with each other. Sometimes that gets mixed up by dragging social media comments to start the drama.

Because the women on RHOA are on a reality show. Half of this stuff is scripted and the other half is just reality - heightened for entertainment. The stuff you see on these shows aren't really how these women live their lives. People aren't really flipping over tables in restaurants.

r97 like I give a shit about autocorrect errors on a message board post, on this dark corner of the internet, on a thread about Nene Leakes....

r99 you are missing the point myself and others are making; "loud, coarse, trashy" behavior is not unique to the Atlanta Housewives, that kind of behavior can be seen on ALL the Real Housewives franchises. The fact that you keep saying this show intentionally made black women a parody is inaccurate, and plus you haven't even watched the show to form that opinion.

There are plenty reality shows that have done that, but this was not one. The black women on this show, especially Kandi, have totally used it as a platform to launch their own successful businesses, like several other women from the other casts have done.

I think there are questions that Bravo need to answer. Specifically when you see how the ladies of ATL and RHOP are treated at reunions in comparison to RHOBH or the New York matriarchs. Andy has not been subtle or shown the range needed to be able to navigate complex discussions that need to take place at those shows.

Having said that Nene also has questions to answer. It’s interesting this is being filed now. At the peak of her power she pretty much called the shots on RHOA and openly said she had a great relationship with Andy and the network. I can’t imagine that relationship broke down because of race. I think it had more to do with the fact she sent a crew member to the hospital, assaulted a cast member and forgot she was part of an ensemble and developed a horrible attitude. In that respect it’s hard to feel for Nene when this blacklisted narrative is pretty much all her own doing.

I am glad Kim is being called out. I think in the earlier seasons it was a classic case of white person feeling way too comfortable around their black friends. As the sole white cast member she had the responsibility to educate herself and realise that she was in a privileged position to be sharing a platform with this group of women and therefore she should have represented herself in a decent way. RHOA never needed a white cast member. Unfortunately the return in season 10 proved she had a complete lack of self awareness and that she really is just trash. I don’t particularly think Nene has a particularly stronger moral compass either.

I am in no position to deny anyones experience but she has been very vocal throughout her RHOA dismissal and It feels more like a last ditch attempt of a comeback. It was really uncomfortable to see her start using #blacklivesmatter in relation to her being fired and trivialising such a cause. Her whole verbiage on the matter was solely directed at Andy/Bravo up until now. It will be intriguing to see how this plays out.

Andy really coddled Kim Z. that time that the other HWs took her to task at a reunion. Andy even went so far as to apologize for the way Kim was handled (bullied, blah blah blah). He never coddled any of the other Atlanta HWs when they were taken to task on their BS. Never apologized, etc.

No, I've never seen Andy use the N word or something blatant like that, but I do think he treats the black HWs not as well as the white ones.

r104, Nene should have filed this after that fight on the bus to Miami seen at r85, at the peak of their popularity. Back then it would've gotten more way more traction. Kim's show is not even on Bravo anymore. RHOA has totally jumped the shark, after 14 years of Nene being on TV people really don't care if she comes back. She has been on TV longer than most actresses with hit series and people don't feel sorry for her at all. She just needs to move on.

[quote] I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying [R76]. Nene was just Nene and people fell in love with her which helped her blow up, isn't that how it usually works?

That's because Bravo had to rent many of the homes on all the shows to make the poorer broads look wealthy. Hell, most of the slags on RHWOA didn't even live in Atlanta. They came there just to be on that shitty show.

R105. Because they were coming for Kim because of Nene's bullying and she had a lot of clout then. She was the most popular member. Andy felt responsible that dynamic had come to fruition. Kim ain't racist buy Nene sure is when she called Kim's assistant a slave. I fkin hate hypocrites and I hope she never makes a dime in the industry again. She told both Star Jones and Sheree 'what did race have to do with it' when they asked her to stand in solidarity with them. She's a nickel and dime hustler. Kim is messy and not attractive, but with all the plastic surgery Nene's gotten, Kim looks like how Nene wished she looked naturally. I hope in this attempt at extortion she goes bankrupt. Pure filth she is.

At one point, Kenya was living in a motel with her dog, Velvet. Nene came over for some reason and it was funny. At some point, Kenya did buy something she could afford, so I respect her for that. However, Kenya has wounds that will probably never heal. It's sad, really. She can be irrational. Then she went through that whole charade of being married to that guy who was obviously not into her.

Nene put the final nail in her coffin after her last and final "comeback" to RHOA. She thought she had permanently moved on to stardom in Hollywood and would never have to return to Bravo, but then she was forced to come back because no one else wanted her. Instead of realizing, having a bit of perspective and humility, and playing her true position (which still afforded her a remarkably great life!) she refused to actually participate in the show this time, thinking she was way better than everyone else. She wasn't funny or entertaining anymore-- just bitter and mean to everyone on and off set, and viewers stopped caring and liking her. Not only did ratings not improve for her return,, they fell further. She and her horrible attitude were a negative energy drain on the show. Bravo knew it and didn't really want her back, so refused to pay what she asked for and let her go. She was in total shock they passed on her, trashed Andy and Bravo, and became persona non grata at the only place left for her to go. After burning that bridge, she recently tried to backtrack and made a public statement that she would now like to sit down and hash things out with Andy, who rightfully laughed her off. Now she is clearly going scorched earth on him, Bravo and ultimately herself with this desperate and ridiculous lawsuit, which will of course backfire and make her prospects even worse.

Andy Cohen whom I know personally is one of the realest people in the biz. Nene plastic surgery Leakes is nothing but a phony both internally and externally.

She should've made herself the face of a good cause and promote herself by raising awareness for the cause. That sort of good press would've led to business opportunities, which could've led to her own Reality Show or a career as a legit businesswoman. But in order to do that, you have to have some professional skill other than going viral on social media with memes. At least keeping your anger and your loud mouth under control when you're around other business associates (I mean, you can still treat employees and interns like shit, if you want to keep your reality TV brand alive and stroke your fragile ego).

Also Nene's behavior is especially disgusting because she is lying about racism where its very clear there is no racism involved. This trivializes the many situations where real racism exists, and makes people less inclined to believe allegations which are actually true all because this pathetic lowlife clown is clearly making all this up and playing her last card--the race card!!!

R114, Nene is too ignorant to understand that concept. And she's no dummy. Just classless and a sometimes junkie too. She's entertaining and shrewd but ghetto trash.

She could've made some good money with a tear off daily calendar with her many punchlines and put downs. Or sell her lines on T-shirts and other merchandise. Unless BRAVO owns her lines (and *gasp* they were actually written for her by the show's writing team?)?

It's fairly obvious that this is just a money grab. You can't spend money like she does if you're not bringing in big bucks on a daily basis. She's clearly not and this is apparently the only thing she can come up with to get some big bucks. I certainly hope she has her attorneys on a contingency contract because they'll play hell getting any money out of her when she loses the case. Frankly, I won't be surprised if the court dismisses the case for being unfounded before it ever gets started.

I wonder if Nene's being blackballed by TPTB, or if people just know she's hard to work with. It seems like she'd been offered opportunities on other talkshow panels but she's never been able to close a deal. I remember years ago Debmar-Mercury was considering developing a show for Nene, but Wendy Williams and her ex-husband shut it down. Debmar has now cancelled Wendy and Nick Cannon, but unfortunately Nene's popularity is not what it was 10 years ago.

I think Wendy and Nene should team up for a podcast or Youtube show or something, they are both now husbandless, litigious, jobless, and need money!

Wendy Williams, whatever you may think of her character, personality, reliablility, stability, etc. is an extremely talented, unique and experienced talk show/radio host--one of the best in the business. Nene Leakes is a bitter, untalented, desperate ex-reality star who was overrated even at her peak of "success". Their names should not be uttered in the same sentence

Why do people resort to this kind of bs?

Nene is a mess, like they're all messes. Nene is THE Real Housewife. She is the one who really put this thing on the map and sort of set the blueprint. Nene blew up her own gig and she can't blame anyone else or racism for that. The only one out of all the franchises to really understand what this is and what it's about and keep a clear head is Kyle Richards.

Nene made Housewives famous but it was really Teresa's table flip that catapaulted the franchises to a pop culture phenomenon. I mean, even South Park had an episode about the table flip!

I watched the first season a couple of weeks ago. Kim was always very nice to Nene and they seemed like they really got along. Then Nene shit talked Kim during the limo ride and then suddenly Nene acted like she was somehow the victim and that Kim was somehow the villain when the reality is that the other women were pretty much appalled by what Nene was saying about Kim behind her back.
