Okay, I am trying to muster up the energy to care about Nene’s Weddin’. Mostly because I need to blog about something and the pickins are slim today. We have heard, “let’s move forward” three times in the first five minutes. I should have already started a drinking game.
My God what is going on with her in her talking heads? That black ruffley shirt and that hair! Sometimes it looks fine and then, bam, same outfit with some crazy long hair that looks like it was cut with lawn shears! Can someone teach this woman how to speak? I hate her complete lack of use of possessives. It’s beyond ignorant sounding. JUST STOP SAYING BRIDEMAIDS NENE. PLEASE. I am literally unable to watch this show. Has her grammar always been this horrible or is it getting much, much, much, worse?
So the story is that Gregg abandoned his family and did not talk to him for a long time when he got together with Nene? As in he would not return their calls? That’s a pretty big deal. Annnnnd everyone hugged it out.
I thought Nene got married at a hotel? Why didn’t she get married here? It’s spectacular! Perhaps Bravo would not pay for it? Is this the wedding planner that is suing Nene?
God I hate Marlo. She never stops whoring herself out to any man in the room. Nene is using the same designer Kim did. She is quick to point out that Kim’s dress was “used.”
Nene of course has to go to Mr. Chow’s so she will have paparazzi around. They ask her about her sister and she says she doesn’t have sisters. She does. Why does she not need to mend her family issues, but Gregg does?
At Mr. Chow’s, Nene seems to deliberately start some mess with her bridesmaids telling Diana one of the girls says that Diana doesn’t think Nene and Gregg should get back together. Why beat the hornet’s nest Nene? So everyone breaks into a feud over who Nene likes the best and who is riding on Nene’s coat tails. I agree with Diana. I have seen Diana with Nene all over LA and Atlanta. She has always appeared to be Nene’s best friend. Nine bridesmaids is about six too many.
Thank God somebody else noticed the “bridemaid” !! Sheesh! She wants to be so lady like and polished but she can’t even speak. I almost convulse everytime she speaks! The comment she made about the wedding being for her “bridemaids” because some of them will never get married was nasty ! Look who she marrying for a second time…… He’s a real winner , we should all be so lucky!
I agree that NeNe has blindingly white veneers. A shade or two darker wouldn’t have hurt my eyes as much. But you know rich bitch NeNe, whatever it takes to stand out the most. When she was publicly dissed about her teefs, she decided she’d go big or go home. She went big…and headlight bright white.
I also feel bad for Diana…it’s gotta hurt that their relationship isn’t any more special to NeNe than anyone elses. Just for sheer loyalty, she should get top billing aka maid of honor instead of just another BRI-maid of nine. People ought to tell these newbie rich bitches that bigger isn’t always better, as in teef and BRI-maids. Bitch seems to be forgetting where she came from. NeNe sucks on this one. PLONK! BLOOP!
As bad as Nene speaks now, it is obvious she tries to talk like she is smart, now that she’s a rich bitch. She is a great example of money not buying class. People can be poor and speak correctly and have good manners.
Exactly! Her extreme enunciation of words makes me cringe.
I could watch it if she could learn third grade English. She said bridemaid SO MANY TIMES that I seriously was not sure I could finish the show. And Gregg kids, and and and… I think on RHOA we only had 13 minutes tops of Nene’s ignorance. But on a one hour show, I am not sure I can do it.
I soooo agree. I have had just about all I can take of Nene. She as they say has gone Hollywood. She I believe is praying the new normal show will be picked up again, if the people in charge of that have any sense they will leave it along, and let it die. Nene is so into herself I just can’t stand it anymore. Has she ever heard of humility? I doubt it. She is not a great actress, she got lucky due to being on the Atlanta housewives. The people with the sitcoms got a look at her and said it might work. OK so be it. Anyone or most anyone with money NEVER or should NEVER brag about it. When all you talk about is your money your luster looses its’ shine, and if you don’t have a way to sustain that income your need to be careful with how you spend. She may or may not be a rich bitch, but rich bitches come and go everyday, and I wish she would PLEASE consult a dictionary and learn to speak. Did she not ever go to school. Well that’s the way I feel. Yall have a great day. One more thing – Why does Andy think she is so great and keeps kissing her bountiful behind?
I understand how Diana feel, but I think she was totally out of line on how she went about it. She may not like Marlo, but she does not get to pick who Nene considers a friend. Marlo did not do anything to Diana, so I don’t know why she picked a fight. I think Nene should have pulled Diana and Lexis aside and discussed the issue.
THhe lady that found the venue was not Tiffany Cooke. I am enjoying the show wnd the marriage issues.

Am I wrong about remembering Nene getting married at a hotel in Atlanta? My memory is bad, so maybe I am.
Nene did get married in a hotel. The lady that showed the place was not Tiffany Cooke. Tiffany has not showed Nene anything on camera.
The lady who showed her the pretty garden site was a realtor. I can’t imagine choosing a hotel over that location though. It was stunning.
I can only imagine how much Mr. Chow loved Lunch with the Hoodrats! — anyone wonder why they were in the back room?
NeNe was horrid/rude to the wedding planner and how many others? And please explain the unnecessary return of Marlo.
She needs a Sheree reality check!
They were probably in one of the party rooms, so they would not disrupt other guest
Nene was not rude to the wedding planner. Where was her vision?
That wedding planner seemed pretty awful.
I’m still trying to figure out why the wedding planner did not have any examples of her previous work to show Nene and Gregg (unless it was edited out) so she (the wp) would have a better idea of what Nenes’ vision was. It’s one thing for Nene to go on & on about it, and for the wp to scribble some stuff on a piece of paper, to give Nene an idea of what she can do. It seemed like time wasted on both sides. But like I said maybe that was one of those Bravo frankenbite editing moments.
That “bridemaid” and ” I love Gregg kids” mess is embarrassing! Is she afraid of the letter S?? What the hell did S do to you? You running around talking about how rich you are but you can’t even speak properly. Take some of that money and find an English class. I like Nene but she sounds like a hot ignorant mess..
It bothers me to no end when folks just FAIL to show posession on words or fails to conjugate their verbs. Not all of us were reared the same but supposedly we all speak English and speaking it properly is so very important and when it’s not it is a true turn off for me. Especially when a person throws out the persona that they are this, that and the other thing but their grammar is so poor. REALLY! yuck.
You made me laugh Shay: “what the hell did S do to you?” So funny.
Nene is trying too hard. She just needs to relax and speak the way she normally does, which is absolutely fine, IMO. No enunciation needed but accurate grammar is a must!
I don’t know if I can finish this series. Aside from being incredibly boring, Nene has to be the most entitled and unsympathetic character on the RH franchise (aside from Melissa Gorga). I used to think Nene was really funny, but now she is really too big for her britches. All I have seen so far are her pathetic attempts at one-upping Kim.
I think Nene deliberately stirred the pot to generate drama for the camera, but she got more than she could handle. She was entirely out of line to bring up Lexie’s concerns in front of everyone. Lexie clearly felt betrayed, and had no problem expressing it. I suspect Diana was pushed over the edge by a day spent in Marlo’s company. Can you imagine having to endure an entire afternoon/evening with that smug, ill-mannered boor? I’d snap, too. Nene always talks about “keeping it real”, but when it got “real”, she couldn’t handle it. I felt sorry for the LA ‘bri-mays’, who mostly looked quietly appalled, but I enjoyed seeing Nene try to shut down the verbal brawl she started. It’s fun to parade into Mr. Chow’s in front of the paparazzi, but not so fabulous when you might get thrown out of Mr. Chow’s in front of the same paparazzi for not being able to maintain a basic standard of civility. Once Nene’s 15 minutes are over, the LA ‘bri-mays’ will disappear. I wonder if Diana and Lexie will stay around, now they know how the new Nene will treat them?
LOLOL Love the “bri-mays”!!! I wonder does she (Nene, or anybody we talk about for that matter) read these blogs? If so, surely she (or they) would get a clue as to how they come across to the viewers. Or as Nene and Tre G. would call us……Haters. Lol
Hi TT,
I totally agree with your recap. I do like Nene (I think she makes great tv). Gregg is taking a real bath here with his family “on display”, while no one can EVEN MENTION Nene has sisters. She RULES THE ROOST in that marriage. Is Gregg that desperate to get back with her that he allows himself to be humiliated on national TV as a deadbeat dad? I also agree that Diana is her true friend, and Marlo is a groupie clawing her way in to what she feels are acceptable social circles.
Does anyone know how many episodes there are left?
It’s my understanding that Gregg’s children wanted to be on the show and confront Nene and Gregg. Also, why would Nene mention sisters that do not want to be around her? They were not raised together. She doesn’t mention her brother either. I assumed it was to protect their privacy.
Katrina,
Good scoopI I had no ideas about her sisters, or that she even had a brother.
I have not and will not watch this mess, but I have enjoyed all the comments on here. NeNe has always spoken poorly no possession on her words and hackes up the English language pretty well. One whole hour of her really lets one know she has poor language skills. I’m so over her she is NOT the NeNe of Season I HWoA. I’m guessing the NeNe that has the wedding spinoff is the REAL one. I’m waiting for RHoA to return, but this mess and all these other BRAVO spinoffs is just not my cup of tea – no shade.
I think Nene is probably more relaxed on this show. I think on the first season, she was less guarded. I can’t wait for RHOA season 6, but I am enjoying the wedding story while I wait.
First of all, someone mentioned whether NeNe or others read blogs. I’m 99% sure that they do, in fact BRAVO’s site is their landing spot. It’s sad that the board is heavily moderated and the comments are cherry picked. It’s best to go to twitter and respond to their tweets if you’d really like to get your point across. Their money/endorsements depend on that, so your comments will definitely be acknowledged. At some point NeNe will realize that she’s not an actress. When she’s hired for a show she’s always her loud, boisterous over-the-top self–the person that we see on HWOATL. TV execs want the modern mistrel show (the loud, combative, neck rolling, stereotypical black woman), because she isn’t taken seriously. She’s never had anything, so the trip to her head was quick. Laura Govan from BBWLA is an opportunist looking to find a place in the biz; she’s not loyal to NeNe. This show is a joke as well as that tacky wedding. I don’t think she has the money that she proclaims to have and shame on her for forgetting that when her teef and weave were busted beyond belief it was Greg who financed her spot on BRAVO. Pre-nup, really?? Greg met a young stripper who blew his geriatric jerry curl better than ever before and he LEFT his family and friends behind. His head was soo far up her arse that his vision was impaired. This is all a joke.
LOL!!
@Lou22 “Blew his geriatric jerry curl better than ever”! You can’t make this s–t up! LOL!
I don’t umderstand why most people do not like Marlo? What did she do? There are whores everywhere. It is not a crime. Actually, some of our favorite characters are whores.
Katrina, it’s not that Marlo’s a whore. The reason I don’t like her is that she’s an ignorant, pretentious hypocrite who thinks dropping designer names makes her a fashion expert. She’s also a self-proclaimed etiquette expert who criticizes other people’s manners to put them down – the opposite of what etiquette is for. My two cents.
Nene’s dig a Kim was just mean. I think she wanted this show just to try to top Kim.
I am totally over Gregg as well. He should be ashamed of himself. I actually like Marlo. Dianna is way too emotional for that group of women.
@Bee I agree, it was. NeNe is jealous of Kim, which is why she turned on her. Their beef began when NeNe talked behind her back about her singing. Kim was loyal and sided with her against Sheree, and NeNe hated on her because she was indeed living the oppulent lifestyle that BRAVO wanted. Big Papa’s wife knew about his shenanigans–in fact, the world knew. Kim was simply doing what several other women would’ve given the opportunity. Kim may have been every bit of the mistress that NeNe called her, still good constantly comes to her (Kroy, happiness, spinoff,etc). NeNe had better watch it because she’s no angel. She refers to Kim as “Wig”; that blonde comb over didn’t grow from her scalp either.
@Lou22 You are right on every point!
Nene speaks poor English and sometimes TT’s blogs have misspelled word. No one is perfect!
Sisters and children are two very different things. Gregg is responsible for the care and wellbeing of his children, and it isn’t okay if he won’t even pick up the phone to call them, but Nene expects him to communicate with her.
Welp, I finally got a chance to watch this episode this weekend, and while I can see Diana’s point, she really just felt a way that was not needed for that particular time abt these other women. Friendships change just as people do, and for her to assume that no one has Nene’s best interest but her is FALSE. I think that what Diana needs to realize, when Nene and Gregg were apart, Nene spent time with all of these women and maybe during that time they were really there for her in a way she needed FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIME. For Diana to have two children she acts like she is 24/7 devoted to Nene and Nene only. I know I am rambling, and let me say I do not HATE Diana, I just wanted her to take a wait and see position, meaning, if these ppl are here for false reasons then it would eventually come to light and being a good friend sometimes means shutting up and letting people show their true colors on there own!
@cherry I agree with most of what you said, and Dianas’ attitude did come across as possessive and downright funky. But those were the parts that we actually saw (so maybe Bravo wanted her to look like that) for all we know maybe Marlo and Lexis were really acting funky towards her off camera or in parts that were edited out. I still say that to have a storyline, Mz Leakes instigated a lot of that stuff, cause after all the show is supposed to revolve around her (and most of us are so over her).
I didn’t really agree with @cherry, but I still remember her comment and the wording of it, as we say I the south tickled me. I meant to remember it so I could steal it later.. Can’t see it here in email but it was something like, “Diana was feeling some kinda way about something it was not the time or place to be feeling that way about!” BAM! And I loved it!
after reading some of the things Nene has been saying the press lately I am so confused as to what the truth is. like you said @eg, it could have been edited for us to see it one way and things my have happened another way. TT I love your blog in general and I love how we can all agree or disagree and still have a great non offensive convo like other sites. Also, I am from Memphis,TN so that explains that saying you were referring to lol!
*unlike other blogs ( oops sorry)
