Nene Leakes stepped back into the spotlight for a two-part sit-down interview with Carlos King. 

Renowned for being the breakout star of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ the show’s original anchor has experienced quite the rollercoaster. From serving as a firm fan favorite to sharing the most personal corners of her private life to her well-documented fallout with execs that led to her exit from the show. Nene, for better or worse, has been synonymous with RHOA.

Waxing all sorts of candid on the Reality With The King platform, Nene opened up about feeling like the show is her “baby” having taped its unseen pilot, not initially gelling with the likes of Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks, and feeling like Kenya Moore‘s arrival ushered in a negative change in direction.

Nene also addressed her son’s Bryson drug addiction and his recent arrest.
