I Dream of Nene Recap

September 24, 2013 by tamaratattles 45 Comments

rs_300x300-130418120010-600.Nene.mh.041813I am having MANY DVR issues tonight apparently I did not know I had a conflict at 9 and Nene is the last one out. So I am using my copy of first look to get us started then I will stop my recording of The Voice and continue.  Sigh. I do want to see the last five minutes where I assume the family drama comes from. How many episodes did Nene get? Three like Tamra or is this a 8 week series like #DBT to try and help out that stupid “New Atlanta” nonsense I refuse to watch?

Nene talks with the Donald about a prenup. Nene must be so glad the Donald did not change his secretary’s number like Tyler Perry did. Peter is giving relationship advice to Gregg. LOL. Second marriages to the same person rarely work out any better than the first go round. ERRYBODY should be all in for the prenup.

I had to move my blogging station to the boudoir where the lovely tube TV makes everyone red, so I will not be commenting on what anyone is wearing. Probably. Greg is in the ATL basement he lived in for his “separation” with his groomsmen. It’s the Gregg rehabilitation scene. Until, of course he gets to the strip club.

neneleakesringNene just said her ring is a 15 carat cushion cut DIAMOND. This was the first time she has ever said the word diamond in reference to her ring. It was also a Frankenbite.  The close up of her engagement ring shows that it has two fairly large diamonds on the sides, that is 3-4 carats right there, it also has 24 smaller diamonds around the outside, that’s another that’s another 6ish, leaving 5 for the main stone.  BUT her wedding band is also new with diamonds all around, so that center stone could be ANYTHING and she could still have 15 carats total weight.  I know y’all never believe me when I try to explain that Nene is does not have the money she pretends to have but TRY THIS WEBSITE to get some objectivity.  Then ask yourself, “Does Nene make anywhere near the money these people do?” If your answer is yes, you are at the wrong website. We are an intelligent group of people who for some stupid reason watch this crap anyway.

Nene is explaining her bridesmaids to Cynthia and Marlo and her real Bff Diana (Govin I think) .  Diana has been her real behind the scenes BFF forever. Diana does not like “Laura”. Why does Nene not speak properly? She does it on PURPOSE. She retweeted a tweet from me once and took the H off of with, and it was not because she was trying to keep it under 140. She seems to think that non-standard English is “keeping it real” so the whole I have nine bride maids” just annoys the shit out of me. And she wants a TALK SHOW?  Diana wants Nene to stick to having people who have been with her in the down days.  Diana calls Marlo an opportunist who is trying to grab Nene’s spotlight.  She is absolutely right. I must say I have been in this exact situation before. I was the NEW friend who was asked to dress shop and support a bride, come to find out she had long time friends who were jealous. My opinion was I did not ask for all of this, but she has been crying on my shoulder the past few years. (in college).  Anyway Diana is about to get hot. I am on her side. 9 people? really? Marlo starts in with her baby daddy is rich and she doesn’t work. True. I have posted somewhere Diana’s baby daddy pays her a gazillion dollars in child support. Go down to bottom right and search it.Cynthia tries to shut them down. #teamdiana Diana has a lot longer guaranteed income than Nene or Marlo or Cynthia. Privately,  Diana is trying to help Nene. Nene is blind to the Marlo issue.

Wait what? Diana is not the maid of honor? Then who the hell is? If it is Marlo, then Nene got some big issues. I have been following Nene for years and Diana has been ride or die. She flew to LA for her auditions, she flew to LA and essentially acted as her assistant/friend for free. OMG, NENE who is the maid of Honor? If it ain’t Diana, you fucked up. Nene is NOT HAVING A MAID OF HONOR. This is super disrespectful to Diana. She is being way more gracious about it than I would be.  How is she going to line the bitches up then?

Meanwhile Gregg goes to meet with his brother and sister for the first time in five years. His brother is a Pastor. What could he have possibly done to break THAT relationship?  Nene doesn’t know either. I love his sister, “I’m the cutest one!” They are having a lunch like they are all cool. Gregg has a Frankenbite about “Dr. Jeff” cancelling them. Gregg promises to be close to his siblings again.

Nene just loves that torn up clothes stuff from the 80s.  She has a scene with Brentt telling him he needs to get back in school. YOU THINK? Nene has been “homeschooling” him by dragging him to her filming and LA events. As a teacher it may surprise you that I don’t have a problem with that. Briefly. I traveled the world extensively as a child and that counted for a lot. I was still accountable to my teacher, but I was also in elementary school. Brentt is in High School and need to learn Science and Chemistry and Calculus. Those things are not taught by flying from LA to ATL and back with a “home school teacher.”  Brentt is the smartest person in the room saying he wants to go to a real school and he wants his mother to be with him too.

Here is the thing. Nene says she doesn’t feel bad about being a working mom, she feels guilty about missing certain things because she is working, So she doesn’t feel guilty about missing anything. And she feels bad FOR HERSELF about the things she is missing. GOT IT. Brentt wants his mother there and she is NOT HEARING IT.

I love how Gregg has moment talking to the dog like Kim has talking to her baby.

Wow there is 20 minutes left and Gregg’s kids are coming over. I love them all already. Nene order Mexican. Gregg says he wants everyone to talk so he can get the family back together. DING DONG, Nene has invited Dr Gregg I totally believe he did not know he was coming and he does not like him. Nene has asked him to come moderate without telling Gregg.

Gregg starts with asking his kids how they feel about Nene and what she had to do with the demise of the marriage between Gregg and his former wife, their mother.

The kids say they don’t know why Gregg and their mother broke up. Their problem is that Gregg doesn’t talk to them. Damian says that he went on V-103 and said Nene was selfish. Damian apologized for that. Nene said she knew nothing about that. His kids say you need to keep in touch with us. They said you married into OUR bloodline so don’t get it twisted if you are going to ride the RHOA train, you need to acknowledge us!

And I agree. If you are going to be ” I AM NENE LEAKES” you better not only ACKNOWLEDGE the family but support them! The kids are basically saying they were only invited for filming. Nene says that is when his Dad tells him to come over. I believe that. Nene is TRYING!  Nene is like NOT MY PROBLEM I told him to do better, he’s an asshole. Damian goes off and leaves.

Coming up: I ALWAYS LIKE IT WHEN SOMEONE SAYS GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE.And then the bridesmaids go all in on Nene.

    It’s either a topaz, or maybe a morganite, but I doubt ir because they are pale pink. No way the center stone is a diamond.

        Whew! glad somebody else also picked up on those hands! I thought those were Gregs hands too at first glance! They look kind of rough, and not feminine at all, considering how “daintilly” Mz L. carries herself. Had to go back and look at it again. SMH

        @janet – When people with dark skin have dry skin, the surface gets this white-ish, grayish flakey look. That’s why they call it ashy.

    Leave it to NeNe to tell Donald Trump she wanted an expensive wedding present from him. Gawd. Shut up NeNe and go sleep with Greg instead of all those thousand dollar bills you don’t have. Shit. You know someone has money issues when they wear a dress (long even) made of money. Fake money, but that in itself speaks volumes. I just wish she would quit trying convince the world that she is rich. I would believe her more if she would just not talk about money, because that’s what most REALLY rich people do.

    I don’t agree about the Leakes children having a right to be acknowledged regarding a TV show. For whatever reason, Gregg kept his children in the dark about his divorce to their mother. Gregg is their dad and he made a decision not to include them on the show. Most people would be happy. A lot of blended families function just like a divided house. The children rather be mad at Nene, than Gregg.

    Like this recap, haven’t seen the actual show yet though.Based on what I’ve read here, sounds like Mz Leakes is stilleh r normal “poser” self. Why would she ask “The Donald” about prenup advice? DT could probably care less about Nene and probably makes fun of her behind her back. Hopefully it will come on here tonite so I can see for myself what else this Bravolebrity is going to come up with.

      Because Bravo and NBC are owned by the same parent company so the cross promotion is good for the show. They are still under the misguided impression that anyone cares to see The Donald on their tv screens.

    I am going to go with Mrs. Leakes went the quantity over quality route. You can find a large cheap diamond ESPECIALLY a cushion cut. If Nene says that the ring is 15 carats, then I believe her center stone is 15 carats. It is huge! I also doubt that bad boy came from Neil Lane or Cartier or Jacob the Jeweler. That baby came from somebody’s Diamond District (not that there is anything wrong with that) or wholesaler. No shade because that is the smartest way to do it, but I sincerely doubt that Jennifer Lopez’s diamond came from a wholesaler.

    I (almost) hate to disagree with you TT but like Wendy Williams said, it was NeNe vs Greg’s kids and NENE won. I fell out when she said “when I married into the Leakes name I HELPED it”…bloop. I also think Diana needs to chill out on the bridesmaid issue… it’s not like it’s some solemn occasion, it’s a re-marriage that you yourself has speculated many a time is the result of a fake divorce.

    Diana is doing the most! She really needed to support her friend in her time of happiness and renewal with her husband, not so much as worried abt who else was invited to partake. It is my opinion that all of these women in one way or another were there for Nene when she was going through her ups and downs with Greg. Just because you were there from the start does not make you any greater than those who came along after you….

    I also don’t buy into the “Rich Bitch” persona of NeNe. Ppl who have real money don’t feel the need to talk about . There’s no way Greg could afford to buy her a 15 carat diamond ring. He doesn’t even have a job . She was paying him alimony and that was the only reason he was able to move out the basement finally. I think part of the reason they got remarried is so she wouldn’t have to pay him anymore. Now he’s a “house husband” while she’s in LA pretending she’s making zillions as a tv actress on 2 shows she’s not even top billed on. She really needs to knock it off

      Not anymore. The New Normal was cancelled. Now all she has left is the housewives, which is where she’s making her money anyway, but she’s going to be in need of a new storyline soon. Once the housewives is over, so is the rich bitch. How she’s making some wise investments.

        Wow. Didn’t know tht show was cancelled!!! I have a feeling tht ” I dream of NeNe” will be her spin off and tht she won’t be back on HW for much longer. That’s why they’re creating this “step family / no new friends” story line so after the wedding the network will have enough juicy content for seasons to come .

        My thought has always been she just made the original “rich bitch” comment to respond to sheree’s bringing her financial issues. As far as her continuing to reference it I’m sure it’s just for the comedy value as it’s basically become one of her catch phrases much like Jimmy jj walker’s “din-o-myte!” (Just saw his episode of ‘Life After’ last night so it’s still fresh I’m my mind)

    Ok, I have to say this. I watched the episode with Nene, Cynthia, Marlo and Diana having lunch. Since Nene insists on becoming a “hollywood actress” why does she not hire a diciton/speech coach. What in the heck is a “Bridemaid”? Every time she said “bridemaid” (like 10 times) I screamed at the television IT’S BRIDESMAID DUMMY! There I feel better.

Its just crazy. More power Ms. Leakes but someday when you scanning that food stamp card, you gonna wish you’d save a dollar!!
