Nene Leakes may no longer star on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ but she continues to stir controversy in its orbit.
For, the reality staple has shocked fans by hitting out against her former RHOA castmate and “little sis” Porsha Williams.
And it all centers on a cameo in the Netflix series, ‘The Upshaws.’
Full story below…
In the video above, Leakes starts by saying:
“Earlier this week I was told by my management company that the Netflix scripted series The Upshaws were interested in casting me for a part.”
Relaying that she was “excited to do it” because the comedy is anchored by Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes, she shared that Williams was also cast and set to appear along side her. She added:
“I haven’t seen Porsha. We always have a good laugh when we see each other, so I was like, ‘Ok, me and Porsha are going to kill this part.
[But] Porsha never came. We wrapped for the evening. I went back to my hotel, and when I got to my hotel, production called me and asked me if I had any issues with any Housewives because they were going to be recasting the other position.”
I was later told that Porsha did not show up to work and had said that she did not want to work with me. That we had had issues from the past, and she did not want to work with me. [I was] more than disappointed.”
Attempting to rationalize the reasoning, Leakes pointed to the friendship between her boyfriend Nyonisela Sioh and Simon Guobadia – who Williams announced her split from recently.
Slamming Williams (who announced her RHOA return) the more, the 56-year-old added:
“I am shocked to hear that Porsha would go to a production company and say that she doesn’t want to work with me because we’ve had a lot of issues in the past. What lots of issues did we have in the past?.
“The bottom line is that Porsha did not want to share the spotlight. That’s it. Professionals can share the spotlight. Porsha is not a star, she is a Bravolebrity. Be clear.”
With that, what are…
The girls are fighting noooo!
NENE IS TO OLD FOR THIS STUFF … SHE HAS A BAD ATTITUDE THATS WHY NO ONE WANTS TO WORK WITH HER …IT IS A SURE THING SHE NEEDS WORK OR SHE WOULD OF LET IT SLIDE…
Nene is insufferable. I’m sure bravo/nbc have it in porshas contract that she can’t film with big back. Nene will never be back on bravo! Sounds like she’s jealous porsha is returning. And let’s not be dense, porsha has more successful businesses than nene, a bigger social media following, and bigger bank accounts. If porsha is only a “bravolebrity” then nene is ONLY a “former-bravolebrity.” LOSER
Allegedly ^^^
Nobody on that show is a star. Just clowns in wigs.
Black women love to creating drama. we love it.
Girl shut up you are not a star she always think she is more than she is without housewives she is nothing
Good for Porsha, NeNe was so jealous of all the housewives I wouldn’t want to work with her either, NeNe is very messy!
Porsha got the last laugh. I don’t blame her. NeNe is always trying to get one up on someone else. This time she was the one to get gotten!💃
