I find it interesting that Nene is posting a blog about tonight’s show on her own website. And she seems grumpy. Let’s look at what she has to say…
Kenya and Porsha have no clue about parenting so let’s just let them stay in their room and do their fake hug and cry. I love it! Moving on!
As Phaedra said, “I have had problems with my son”…now, now Phaedra, you are entitled to your opinion but the facts remain, you don’t know anything about my children. Have you ever met Bryson? If so, it couldn’t have been but once. Remember you have two young boys to raise! Let’s pray they don’t do six years in prison! You know the apple don’t fall far from the tree!
WOW SHADE!
How did this get to my son anyway? Let’s rewind the tape to first season. If you remember, we were taking our son to college. He was 18 years old from the moment I stepped onto this show. Today he is 24 years old. So from the moment you’ve seen him, he was technically an adult. When he had his daughter, he was 22 years old, a young adult but nonetheless an adult, NOT a child. Yes my son experienced some growing pains, which most do. He’s doing just fine today and thank you for asking! I am not sure how my son became a part of this because we were all talking about teenagers and we all know what was said at the table. Parenting doesn’t come with a handbook. We all do the best we can and we do what works in our personal households.
Whatever, Nene. I don’t think anyone looks to you for parenting advice. You have made a series of poor choices. Including trying to “homeschool” Brentt when you can’t conjugate a verb in your native tongue to save your life.
On to Cynthia: I talk to Cynthia almost every day, in fact several times a day. Cynthia is very clear on where I stand about teenage dating (13 to be exact!). This was not Cynthia’s first time hearing me say that. In fact I have said it many times to her. I think it’s too young and I won’t be changing my opinion EVER! Not for Cynthia, not for you, not for anybody! I think it’s okay for friends to agree to disagree. It’s also okay for friends to have various opinions with respect to child rearing. I think we are both great parents. I just think we have different ideas on what parenting is. If you don’t wanna hear others opinions, don’t bring up the topic that you find to be sooooo touchy!
I have to agree with you here. Thirteen is too young to date. And Cynthia did broach the topic herself. Her reaction to your comments was oddly out of character for her.
Cynthia also said she would rather be picking up Arthur than picking up a grand baby! Were you trying to throw shade Cynthia? Well it didn’t work because I would rather my 13 year old pick up a book than the telephone to plan their next date! Ladies, next time know the difference between an opinion and judging! I wasn’t judging because I am not a perfect parent but I do my very best when it comes to my boys. I was just thinking about that outburst of a cry. It sure did come out of no where! Maybe Cynthia was dealing with something else! Umhmmmmm!…. When I judge you, you will know it! Now catch that shade! Good Bye!

I am not sure anyone buys that there are books in your house. Just saying.
Are we meant to take these people seriously? I assume not, but I just thought I’d ask.
Hello darlin’. As if you actually watch. LMAO.
I stopped watching the teevee years ago although I do download stuff. I guess I don’t understand the appeal of these shows. Is it just to prove that wealthy people can also be incredibly trashy? Or am I meant to call up my sister and say “Nene doesn’t think your daughter is old enough to date yet?”
What is there that is even remotely redemptive about these people? Or is it really just about pointing and laughing at them?
Answer B.
They are not real rich people.
Bravo pays for most of their RENT.
I am sick. send me…. ???? A super hot doctor who does housecalls?
Is Nene on her way out? Only Housewife YET to appear on WWHL during the 6th season… Most of the ladies have been on more than once. last time she was on (to promote I dream of Nene) Andy was throwing her just as much shade as he did when Sheree was on, and she had a pissed off look the entire time.
She has been making weird TV appearances. She did GMA to talk about her health, Kelly and Michael (she basically didn’t have anything to talk about) and her E! Special.
She has no storyline this season, and she seems to have pissed off everyone.
This has to be her last season. Because these ladies have CLEARLY showed that they can keep this show moving WITHOUT Nene. She thought she was the “star” of the show. Boy was she wrong! She is the most boring Housewife this season.
We’ve seen all we need to see with this ghetto girl. Time to get a REAL wealthy southern belle who OWNS her home in Buckhead, or a Penthouse in midtown or Buckhead and is connected with the REAL elite of Atlanta… INSTEAD of these cliquey women that marry ball players or hang around that crowd in the Northern burbs of Atlanta.
NeNe ain’t that big, she just tall, that’s all.
I beg to differ. This show would tank without NeNe.
As far as I understand it, Porsha was a custodial stepparent. I am in the exact situation, being divorced by a deadbeat after raising his kids for 5 years. Every doctor appointment and teacher conference was all me. Nene is a pig to suggest otherwise. Porsha’s young and stupid, but she showed up for the coparenting job. Nene was a shrew tonight. Cynthia was a hormonal mess and deserved slack.
I agree. Porsha was all in on raising that boy and then kicked to the curb. Totally unfair to encourage the bond and take it away.
Nene doesn’t even know how old she was when she had her first child …
lol true dat.
LOL
I thought she stated 2 different ages when she had her first child
Nene is not my hero. But this time, she is right. Cynthia was giving this kind of rehearsed speech (that we’ve already heard btw) with her as star and her awesome parenting theory was not to be questioned. Well, if your friends don’t put the brakes on you when you do that kind of bullshit, you’re screwed and destined to make not only mistakes, but also a huge ass out of yourself. As for the end when porsha was giving her speech about getting support — I was super glad nene didn’t let her get away with it either. She’s a selfish child and hopefully what nene said got through. Sadly, I think nene actually has more class and social graces than any of them. I can’t imagine that.
Then that means that the rest are minus 000 in the class and social grace cause Nene has absolutely NONE!!!!!! Who died and left an idiot in charge. Like someone else said , we watch to point and laugh at them. Ya they get paid for it but not that much. Nene thinks she is a rich bitch – Nene has No idea what being a rich bitch is. She is small potatoes, but throws her weight ( pound wise – which is considerable) around to make herself feel like she is something she is NOT. I almost feel sorry for her because she is so dumb. Remember I said almost. Well that’s it ya’ll have a Happy New Year!
By “I can’t imagine that” I meant that it is unimaginable that nene has more class than the rest. But…thanks for over explaining my comment.
No. Nene has no class and few social graces. It’s painful to watch her pretend.
I didn’t get the same thing out of that scene. I saw it as Cynthia bringing up the subject – kind of defensively – and I think if she had been able to finish talking, she might have been able to hear other opinions, if they were put to her more gently. Nene just shut her down and talked over her until Cynthia gave up and left. I don’t take advice from people who talk to me like that, but other people are different.
To Teecee66 your comment didn’t come across as your reply, and no problem I’m happy to explain your comment if that is what I did. I was agreeing with you. I guess you didn’t know that, and it was my opinion too. We still are able to have those don’t we
Well, at least NeNe doesn’t have strippers sucking their own cock at any of her parties….but I digress….
Ladies and Gentlemen, this comment is the winner.
Yeah but what is wrong with how cynthia is handling her daughter? Cynthia is monitoring the situation, she met the boy, met the parents, talked to both peter and leon, everyone is on the same page and the dates or so called dates that noell goes on are supervised and chaparoned. Nothing wrong with that and she seems to have the type of relationship with her child that encourages her child to come to her. Nene has the right to her opinion and cynthia has the right to parent HER child as she sees fit. Nene should respect that and move on, she already stated how she felt but nene could not let it go.
I loves me some Nene but she comes off bitter and very judgmental in her blog. She said she’s already told Cynthia how she feels about Noel dating, why say it again and why did she get such attitude about it? It was unfair to Cynthia, IMO.
Dont need any parenting advice from Nene I see how her first son turned out.
NeNe did say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…Bryson was raised by whom?
You said it and so did she. Bet she wishes she hadn’t know, but I bet you she doesn’t even know what she said or that it could come back on her.
But the real gag is, with the exception of the fibroid storyline which lasted one episode: what is Cynthia’s story for this year– Noelle having a boyfriend. She has made a serious error in judgment by putting this front and center. She is crying and what not because Nene was rough on her? Chile please, wait til the blogosphere is through with you. I think she sacrificed her daughter’s overall well being for the sake of remaining relevant for a reality show. And she’s supposed to be the sane, classy one. Cynyhia deserves all the shade and outright derision coming her way.
She married Peter!!! She ain’t sane!
Nene’s blog is so Nene. Defensive, self absorbed, and bitchy.
Good story line for the new modern day parents, why is Noel not interacting with her mom friends who have boys? I raised three girls
On a block where boys were the majority they played together watched tv together no one ever used the term boyfriend or girlfriend they were just friends. “F” NeNe every girl is not like she was. Cynthia should see NeNe is not her friend! Keep up the good work Cynthia. Friends have your back.
Without Marlo,sheree, kim, miss Lawrence, derek j and Dwight this show is so dull and boring. Not one interesting story line. Time to watch something else
Amen, I was just saying the same thing. Also NeNe can dish it out but can’t take it. Big dumb bitch, no class and need to repeat “Grammer” school. Friend to no one. Calling Marlo,Dwight. A read is needed. LOL
I am surprised that Nene did not say anything about Kenya calling her “bald”.
and drag queen and she knows her hello kitty is bald as her head!!! Thought for sure she’d address the whole beat down in Kenya’s talking head.
NeNe is correct that her son was over 18 when a lot of his issues occurred… which is even more of a reason for him to have known better and been held responsible. She has always tried to sweep it under a rug. She felt it was okay to throw barbs at other cast mates’ kids, but she would get loud and defensive when something was said about her thuglette.
I remember her taking him to college. I think he lasted about a month. Since he is not an athlete, I cannot imagine any university accepting that slack jawed moron, so I am guessing that was “College, by Bravo” and they got a donation out of it.
If Nene was trying to sweep Bryson’s problems under the rug, she would not even discuss them. There are a lot if children that go to school and drop out the first semester. People act like Bryson is out killing people and his mother gave him instruction how to do it. So I guess if Nene had said that being 13 or 14 dating is okay if you have a beautiful mother and father who love you, there is no reason to be concerned, then everyone would say she was being a supporting friend. Maybe that is why we have so many pregnant teens.
No, he is not out killing people, but he does have FOUR mugshots. He even managed to be arrested twice within about 30 days. Poss. of a controlled substance, poss. of a weapon, poss. of marijuana and finally…shop lifting. Her son is about as bright as a 4 watt bulb.
The problem is not her opinion on the subject but her delivery.
No we have so many pregnant teens because parents take the irresponsible route by not talking to their children, ignoring their children, and not monitoring and supervising the situation. I mean, weren’t we all 13 before and had little boys we liked? Did this just start? No one is talking about the girl having sex and spending time alone with the boy. All we are talking about is talking on the phone, supervised visits and monitored and chaparoned movie outings. Cynthia talked to her daughter discussed expectations and rules, she talked to both peter and leon, met the parents, met the boy. Cynthia is being the responsible parent that child was going to have a so called boyfriend with or without cynthia’s consent, this way cynthia can monitor the situation. Had cynthia not talked to her daughter, had she not allowed her to see arthur with restrictions and supervision, then maybe she would have become a grandmother cause her child would not feel comfortable to talk to her mother.
Okay, y’all have convinced me. I think Cynthia’s way may take some of the forbidden fruit out of it in a safe, contained environment. I was practically locked in a church until I was 17. Then I went on a sluttly rampage for a few years. Like 30 years.
Like mother like son.
Nene Leakes is NOT on her way out on RHOA, this show will not survive without her. RHOA is the #1 of all the RHW franchise. You think Tru Ent . is going to let their money maker go, no way. These women need to stay away, from talking about each others children.You never ever know, what your children are going to grow up and become.
I totally agree. You never know what your children will become. One encounter in life can alter your future forever. We all hope for the best, but sometimes it does not work out that way.
Any truth to the rumor that the 4x arrested son is about to be a father again?
Oh god. Why is it that the people from the worst gene pools tend to over populate?
Oh, I hope that is only a rumor! In my mind, I see Bryson as the east coast version of Tamra Barney’s son, Ryan….basically a waste of space.
Nene said,
“Cynthia is very clear on where I stand about teenage dating (13 to be exact!). This was not Cynthia’s first time hearing me say that. In fact I have said it many times to her.”
So if Cynthia is “very clear on where (you) stand,” then why bring it up yet again?
Parenting is tough enough without people continually cramming their opinions down your throat.
Just sayin’…
p.s. I like Nene, but just had to speak up on this one.
Why are people upset with Nene?! She stated her opinion! It’s so funny how at the end of 2013, we are told to be silence. Her delivery may have been different than any of ours. But she is correct, 13 is too young.
As for Bryson, why is he an issue? He’s a grown ass man. My mom is the oldest of 9 and they were all raised the same. All of my aunts & uncles lives are very different and have been since they left the nest!
So is mine from my siblings. My brother has been arrested twice, that doesn’t make him a bad guy, he just made bad choices. And he’s learned from them. Nowadays, you get arrested even for defending yourself. Such is life.
Kenya & Porsha are childless, no one said they couldn’t have an opinion.
Nene just needs a lesson in her delivery, but then again, that’s what makes her, her. Not saying that’s a good thing.
Some people have to put other people down in order to build themselves up. NeNe is one of those people. She has to have the friend that is there to build her up. In turn she puts them down while allowing them to be in her presence. When they serve her purpose or no longer play her game she is finish with them. Hence her friend Diane.
Diana and Nene are still friends. Nene was not putting Cynthia down. I think people like to take issue with anything she says because they don’t like her personality or directness. Cynthia did not have any problems telling her sister Mel off in a civilized manner, so I don’t know why she would not do the same to Nene. If Kandi or Phaedra had given the advice that Nene did, this would not be a topic of discussion. Nene did not say anything bad about Noelle.
I agree with NENE, at the age of 13 is too early for girl/boyfriend relationship. No way! Hold off for a little while longer! At the age of 13 is too young/early to be committed to each other in some sense. Good friends, YES! At the age of 13 focus on going to the head of the class, with a high grade point in every grade subject. Between the 3 parents in a 13 year old life, which one discussed the definition of a girl/boyfriend relationship? Obviously, neither one. Prom-time is the time to be introduced to your GOOD friend’s Parent. NENE told Cynthia just the way it is, and not what Cynthia wanted to hear.
