Well last night’s finale of Real Housewives of Atlanta was a total snoozefest. I had absolutely no desire to see yet another Kandi storyline with her sex toys and blue conversations. My freak number is pretty high, truth be told, but I just can’t imagine having explicit conversations about my sex life with my girlfriends on national television. It’s just not done.  As for Kim’s scenes, I already knew she bought Kroy a Porshe so there was nothing remotely interesting about those scenes. Cynthia’s model auditions were shown on Bravo in the previews and were still the most interesting thing to happen this episode. For once, when Cynthia called out for “Peter Thomas” he was in fact still in the building. I’d actually be interested in more of Cynthia next season if we get some genuine scenes of her new enterprise. Phaedra and Sheree had no story line. last night. Basically, Sheree went out with a fizzle bemoaning her lack of romantic seduction. That of course leaves Nene.

I have a ton of Nene fans that swoop down on my site every time I mention her name without a exalting her numerous virtues. But last night the twitterverse went buckwild about her behavior at the sex toy party. Was Nene any more rude and condescending than usual? Nope. She showed up at a party, plopped herself down in a booth likely reserved just for the talls and never acknowledged her hostess, Kandi at all. Nene and Marlo both seemed to think they were at a club with servers, despite it being clear the club had been rented out with a cash bar that guests had to get up off their big fat and waddle to for their beverages. Parties are for mingling after all. So of course Marlo sends Derek off to get them some drinks which some production assistant most likely ended up fetching as Derek was never seen again. Yep, typical Nene behavior.

But then, while the camera focused on the attendees and their low budget weaves and unfortunate clothing choices, Nene did the unthinkable. She degraded the guests as “twitter people.”  Now a large percentage of people who follow me are not fans of Tamara Tattles. They are huge fans of Nene who follow me for the sole purpose of telling me I am a Nene hater who is simply jealous of Nene and her fabulous life.  But last night, they were pissed. And for once it I was not the target of their displeasure. There were some people in denial like  the @neneleakesarmy account. I honestly think Nene could crap on their heads and they would find a way to spin it as if they were chosen by Nene for the honor, but the run of the mill deluded Nene fan went nuts. Those comments will go down in history as one of Nene’s biggest PR blunders ever. Check out the results from a search on “nene twitter” it ain’t pretty.
The other thing that caused somewhat of an uproar after the most boring finale in the history of Bravo was the update portion at the end that said Gregg and Nene are officially divorced but remain friends with benefits.  Here is what I know. I’ve been checking the public records site in Nene’s county ever since this divorce talk began. I have never seen the first shred of evidence that any legal document was filed. What I do have evidence for is Nene and Gregg spending a lot of time together. Nene was in NYC for Upfronts last Wednesday and talked about being on vacation over Easter weekend. Where was she on vacation? NYC according to Theybf.com the picture at left is of Nene, Gregg and Brent shopping over Easter weekend. They look cozy enough to me. Gregg and Brent have been out to LA many times with Nene lately. And then last night after the show aired and Nene had worn herself out retweeting every positive comment about her she could find, she posted this:

I know for a fact Nene is not dating John. I know for a fact that Nene has never seen a camera she didn’t stop and pose for. If Nene has a new mystery man as she would so much like for us to believe SOMEONE would have captured it on film. Nene would not be able to keep a low profile if her life depended on it. Then again, not too long ago Nene tweeted about being free and able to move forward. Bloggers wondered whether she got out of her RHOA contract or divorced Gregg but neither was proven out. Sometimes it seems Nene likes to tweet things just to stir up attention. Shocking, I know. So was the above post just Nene messing with us, or was she with Gregg?

Up until today, all signs pointed toward Gregg and Nene still being together. The story line with John Kolaj was a diversion. Even on the show Nene makes it clear they are not dating. So that was a red herring that most of us recognized right away. Gregg and Nene are together a lot and the tea here in Atlanta is that they’ve actually been living together all this time. Some say they have “an arrangement” of sorts that is for the benefit of Brent always having someone home while Nene is gone. Nene is gone a lot. Nene herself admits she and Gregg are still sleeping together. When the two travel together they go to great lengths to take different flights and stay separated yet still they are caught by the paparazzi. It seems like they want to hide the fact that they are together.
Why would they do that? Well the RUMORS have been around for awhile now that Nene actually did have a spin-off offer from Bravo.  The story goes that Nene was fed up with Gregg and in an emotional reaction approached Bravo telling them she was getting divorced suggested a spin off on the divorce, and Nene’s return to dating. The show was to be shot in LA not Atlanta. There were less credible rumors that Nene would guest on RHOBH while shooting the spin off. According to this rumor, scenes were actually shot in LA. Everything was going along just fine until Bravo found out Gregg was out there and the divorce was off. No divorce, no story line. Again, these are Atlanta rumors.  I have no solid source on this. That said, I heard these rumors well before season four so it was very interesting to me that Nene was acting like she was divorced all season and the theme was Nene’s desire to date. It began on the beach in Miami and continued all season. That made the rumors somewhat credible to me. I fully expected last night’s episode to be Nene coming clean about not divorcing Gregg. But that didn’t happen. So I went back to the public records for her county. Not only is there still no evidence of a divorce filing but some of Gregg and Nene’s records no longer show up. That is interesting. Is it possible to have public records removed from the database? It is starting to appear so. Someone should have told Sheree about that trick.
So for those asking me today if Nene and Gregg are really divorced all I can say is, “I don’t know.” There is no concrete evidence either way. I suppose I could investigate further, but really at this point does it matter? I think that is exactly what Nene would want me to do. Nene is a clever opponent and right now she’s holding all the cards in this game. Dammit.

Edited to add: Concrete evidence is now here. Nene IS divorced.
