Nene Leakes is back-peddling on her “graceful” exit from the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta.’
After rumors of her being fired reached fever-pitch, the reality star stepped forward to announce that she was departing the show – seemingly on her own volition.
At the time, she thanked all involved and appeared zen about closing her ‘Housewives’ chapter.
A move that surprised many given her social media digs and allusion to taking legal action in the weeks and months before.
However, the peace didn’t last long. Because, her latest words have many wondering whether she’s become unhinged.
Full story below…
The drama started following the latest edition of Watch What Happens Live.
Andy Cohen quizzed guest Wendy Williams – who was a friend of Leakes’ – about what her next move should be.
Suffice to say Wendy didn’t hold back:

It didn’t take long for Leakes to pound her keyboard with fiery ferocity.
See what she had to say:
She then shockingly went on to liken her situation to that of Breonna Taylor:
She went on to add:
Conclusively, Leakes said:
*************
Embarrassing.
Granted disparities in the TV arena are a real reality, Nene is not in a position to self-victimise.
The network did not make her try and spit on a castmate. The network did not make her walk off key shoots. The network did not make her liken someone’s child to a buffalo. And the network did not make her castmates not want her around.
To see her unravel like this, after genuinely being such a joy to watch way back when, is sad.
From the lack of self-awareness, to the delusions of grandeur, to the asinine Breonna Taylor remark (which isn’t the first time she’s tried that angle), it’s unfortunate to see Nene go out like this.

Did Kenya write this article? Y’all are bogus as hell for this take. Systematic racism is playing a LARGE part in this and y’all licking this white mans ass and messy Wendy. Shut up whoever published this bs.
Of course there is systematic racism, but this is not it. Where was the systematic racism and outrage when Auntie Leakes was on WWHL criticizing and disparaging the other black cast mates with Cohen? Now she’s crying racism when she’s been ousted? Girl bye. This hypocritical heffa is the worst kind of opportunist. 💁🏼♀️
This show is based around them disparaging each other so what the hell are you talking about? If that was the reasoning behind her being released none of the real housewives would exist. When you’re on a job for a certain amount of time your aloud to demand more until your a black woman getting a “big head”. No his white ass loved the drama for all these seasons but of course switches it up when it convenient for him. NOTHING has warranted her being fired, she doing the same thing the girls on ALL these shows do except remaining relevant. She got everybody in the world saying “Whew chile the ghetto” and “Why am I in it?”. The firing doesn’t add up at all!
It’s called having ethics and scruples. If Nene Leakes was so invested in uplifting black women and dismantling systematic racism, she should have 1.) never agreed to be on a show like RHOA – or 2.) used her platform (while still a popular highly paid cast member) to promote/represent/inspire change and activism. I didn’t see any of the faux activism UNTIL she was fired.
Being unbothered is a gift. She needs to tap into that gift and move on. This Twitter firestorm looks poor, pathetic and bitter, much like that other Marilyn/Danzou/Fancy(fake). 💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
What the network DID do is play every moment you listed in every preview and season snippet they could for ratings so what the hell are you talking about? Y’all act like this show is the Girl Scouts, these women actively drag each other on this show and that’s the primary reason it’s watched. Don’t act new. The white woman on New Jersey come to blows often while also being boring as hell and not a peep is made.
This is why they don’t want her, she’s looney & think her s*** don’t stink! Nene comes off very arrogant & feel she can do & say whatever she pleases on that show & I think the cast & crew got tie 🤷🏽♂️ Andy didn’t even say anything really it was all Wendy & she was just being honest
Bye WIG!
There’s definitely systematic racism involved here but I’m not here for Nene only wanting to speak on racism when she’s no longer being financially rewarded by the same system she’s been complicit in for all these years.
Thanks for your cleverness :).
Mariah for Real Housewives 😂 No disrespecting the Legend, I just think it would be f****** EPIC! 😂
She was actually almost a Housewife before she got M2M on the air. Mariah would be awesome on RHOA.
This post is grossly written. She did not compare her situation to Breonna. Everything she stated was facts. Y’all have to be slow.
She said it in the same paragraph which is essentially the same thing, though.
Cancel this sh*t. Why woud yall want to watch black women bicker and argue for 15 seasons. Because that’s all they do. Cancel it!!!
The white women do it too! A lot of women with too much money and time on their hands argue and bicker 🤣🤣🤣
Narcissistic injury nothing to see here.
Bring it NeNe, I’m here for a woman scorned 🤬 Spill all the tea
why do you keep using this picture of Nene with her mouth hanging open
It’s not racism you dumb B****
You are very Unlikeable
You Physically assaulted bravo employees
How is it discrimination dumb b**** ?
They basically were being polite and firing you without firing you.
Just look at your twitter tirade. You are wacko arrogant disgusting And ghetto . Hopefully you’re blackballed
Karma is a b****.
I agree.
She shoulda took the 6 episodes. They probably would have paid a mil+ to just do the cast trip and reunion.
EVERY OG HAS DONE HORRIBLE THINGS FOR REALITY TV FROM BETHENNY FRANKEL TO NENE FROM VICKI TO TERESA GUIDICE!! SO STOP MAKING IT SEEM AS IF NENE DID SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY ITS ALWAYS BLACK PEOPLE READY TO TAKE DOWN OTHER BLACKS FOR THE WHITE MAN SMH
None of those OG’s put their hands on producers in their closet 💅🏾
Nene is a buffon of great proportion. She was fired for 1) not having a storyline these past few seasons, and 2) for getting physical ON CAMERA with producers (not castmates, PRODUCERS – see closet scene). NeNe has no discrimination lawsuit. And I don’t like Wendy, but she’s right – we dont want to see a solo show from NeNe because it would be BORING!!! She is not the NeNe she was in the beginning, she’s now evil and narcissistic. This is showing one thing and one thing only – NeNe isn’t sure how she’s going to be able to keep up her lifestyle without Bravo checks. Remember the first time she walked away from the show, she allegedly had tax problems, and allegedly had a house with no furniture. And her store just closed in Atlanta I heard (allegedly). All NeNe is doing is burning her bridges. And stop, we knew about Bravo and the Housewives BEFORE you NeNe (Orange County and New York were hits WAY before Atlanta came out…so stop it, wide-back).
NeNe is asking people to give her the name of discrimination attorneys, but it sounds like she needs a name for a civil attorney after accusing Andy and Wendy of doing cocaine in these tweets. That’s slander and worthy of a civil suit. This is not a Black Lives Matter situation – this is a situation where someone is bitter because their own behavior got them fired.
AND THIS B*TCH IS USING A GMAIL ACCOUNT? She’s broke LOL
Takes a broke flop to know a broke flop.
What happened to Lisa Bloom?
I really use to like this blog but your writers definitely write for sensationalism and not facts. Nene stated BLM and Breonna Taylor as hashtags. She did not once compare herself or situation to them. I just wanna see the journalism degrees of your writers because this is sad. Clicks and views. SMH!
But WHAT does #BLM and #BreonnaTaylor have to do with her situation?
#BLM is an organization which focuses on the injustices of Blacks in the criminal justice system. I don’t even need to explain #BreonnaTaylor’s tragedy.
Nene is a narcissist. She only mentions social justice issues when it pertains to her personal drama. This is no different from when Phaedra mentioned Mike Brown to spite Kenya about the violent guy whom was invited back to their rental.
Nene is too old for the f****** foolishness. Do better sis.
She is disgusting. Bye Moose.
Everyone knew who Wendy Williams was before NeNe huffed and puffed her way through reality TV. She’s delusional trash.
Bye ugly big elephant
U dnt talk racist when u get ur check
Icon the jock
No one knew u before bravo hire u
Girl bye
Nene is delusional asf. It’s hard to feel sympathy for her. How dare she try to capitalize off of Breonna Taylor and BLM bye wig!!!
