| Nene Leakes at Brandy Norwood’s Superbowl Party. |
Nene Leakes has been making some waves in the gossip blogs lately. She’s been catching some slack from some actors like Brian White who recently gave this comment to Hello Beautiful, “You can’t call it a stereotype if it’s the majority. The most prevalent image in “urban society” right now is women like Nene Leakes. If there’s a fight that breaks out on ‘Love & Hip Hop’ those people are on every blog, the cover of every magazine the next week,” While I personally agree with that comment it was not well received and led to in part, the tweets I mentioned here. And no, Brian Williams does not hate “black people” Hello Beautiful, He’s a lovely black man, (interracial man? does it matter?) who is married to a white woman. Welcome to 2012.
ANYWAY, tonight Nene wants you to know that Brandy Norwood, the newest cast mate on The Game likes her. So she tweeted this picture of her and Brandy at Brandy’s Superbowl party tonight. Great way to stay in the Sunday night blogs on an off night, Nene! Am I the only one who wonders if Gregg was there?
Mr White is entitled to his opinion, but I don't know many women who act like Nene or Tasha in WDIGM … most of my family, friends and colleagues are well spoken and FAR from loud and ignorant…but he is entitled to his opinion.Nene … she needs to make up her mind who she wants to be. Nene hanging with The Felon … or Nene trying to better herself and make it in Hollywood. If it's the latter, then she should continue her Hollywood networking.
I think he was trying to make the same point you are. He is tired of black women being the neck-rolling brawling stereotype. But I confess to not reading the whole article. I am sorta bored with Nene.
I am so over Nene and her felon friend Marlo. Bravo and Andy need to find some real black women with intelligence and know how to conduct themselves as ladies. I am sick of the angry black woman stereotype.
@Tamara – I know – I read the article twice and got 2 diff points of views…LOL..plus it was after 1 [email protected] – BRAVO doesn't WANT to find "normal" Black women – they enjoy the stereotypes they hire … I'm with Tamara…just bored with it now.
I concur that Bravo is in the business of promoting the worst in female-ness for fun, profit and ridicule. No matter how many phony "charity" events they show, the real meat is the backstabbing, rude, ghetto, fame whore behavior of 98% of the women in these shows.There is no redeeming factor on any Bravo I have watched.
Nene has painted herself into a box.If she is behaving in a way on camera that doesn't reflect who she truly is for the sake of "getting rich", then that act is getting old and she is at risk of being stereotyped—as is often the case with many actors who become known for portraying a character with an extreme personality—long before she achieves her goal.If she is reflecting who she really is, it makes it even worse because all of the above remain true—only it also makes her an idiot and a fool. Also, if her on-screen spending habits reflect reality–she'll remain broke.
