It was mention on WWHL tonight that there was an altercation between Nene Leakes and Wendy Williams and her husband at one of those silly “Women’s Expo” things which are basically giant arenas for people to push their products at people. They have “Keynote Speakers” which just goes to show they don’t even know what a keynote speaker is. Everyone is a Keynote Speaker and they are all there to push THEIR products. It’s all a bunch of bullshit, but people go and spend lots of money, so they will be around for a while.
There is a history of vitriol between Nene Leakes and Wendy Williams. When Andy Cohen decided to put all his business decisions behind Bethenny Frankel’s new talk show to the detriment of Wendy Williams, the divide began. Once Bethenny poached Wendy’s talent booker for her show, Wendy was done giving publicity to Bravo shows. She quit discussing housewives shows all together and only mentioned the women who made news for other stupid reasons. Nene got all butt hurt over Wendy talking about her fingerpainted pocket books. And these two have had nothing nice to say about each other ever since.
So some idiot booker scheduled these two to give back to back speeches. Wendy was supposed to go on a 1 p.m. and Nene was supposed to go on at 1:30. Based on everything I’ve read, one of two things happened. Either Nene managed to go on at one and push Wendy to one-thirty in order to catch an earlier flight, or both women went on stage at the same time and Nene did some trash talking about Wendy when she got on stage. Perhaps Wendy ran over with her speech, or perhaps Nene was just being Nene.
But apparently, Wendy’s husband who is also her manager was really pissed off about something. He was allegedly going off back stage. Nene said she didn’t have words with either one of them, that it all happened backstage. I’m sure Gregg was back there hovering about with talcum powder and either watching or participating in the fracas.
I hope Wendy will mention this on hot topics tomorrow. However, she isn’t really good at discussing incidents where she or her husband do not come off looking good.
One thing I know for sure is you do not want to piss off Wendy’s husband. He is not one with whom to fuck. So there is hope that this could get really, really good. Not for Nene. But for us.
Unfortunately Wendy doesn’t really discuss things like this on her show so I doubt she’ll mention it. But nene better be careful, if she keeps it up all her Hollywood gigs will dry up real fast.
Yes, I would hate for Nene to lose all those Hollywood gigs.

I think y’all and everyone else are probably making more out of it than it really is. I’m sure Nene did something stupid, and Kevin was not happy with her, but both sides are not above some ghetto behavior.

What Hollywood gigs?
You know … those gigs where they want someone who can’t act … I mean raw acting skills
Lol so bad!
Me and my mom used to watch Glee together. We were full on Gleeks (and I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit that). Mom has never seen a single Bravo show & couldn’t recognize a HW to save her life. Well, she loved Coach Roz on Glee. I give all credit to the writers but it pains me to know that Nene could claim her as a fan.
Hahahah I watched the new normal and I really liked it! I liked Rocky as well! I’m sorry it was canceled!! Nene was pretty good on there!
Yes that is true . If anyone has even seen “big Kevin ” one would know that Greg was not behind nenes left or right shoulder.
I need more tea on this.
Please someone explain to me how Nene thinks she’s at Wendy’s level. Someone needs to prescribe her some meds immediately. Trick is delusional.
I too need more clarification. So Nene bumped Wendy off her scheduled time to speak? This totally needs to be confirmed to be amazing tea. I would love it to be true. Nene would prove her mindless approach to business commitments.
A while back, Nene told Wendy she should be worried, she might take over her talk show.
WHAT?!!! To quote Kristen Taekeman: “Deluuuuuuuusional!” I knew that Nene was stupid. Yes. I knew that she was a pushy bully. Yes. I knew she was crazy. Yes. But that shit. Threatening Wendy Williams? Seriously? Is she doing Andy’s dirty work for him? Is that why he’s so nice to her no matter what? Cos that’s how it looks. She’s debasing herself with that kind of behavior. Not okay.
Funny! Like Nene thinks she could take over Wendy’s show?
That will never happen.
And, Nene is heading toward a big failure mode. She’s making the steps that’s leading in that direction. IMO. 😉
I’ve heard her say that on other talk shows, too.
Nene has been saying repeatedly throughout the years that she will be getting a talk show. Her fans really keep her ego on 1000 because I don’t see anyone credible going to her. She will interview mainly reality stars but her personality is not agreeable with most. If you could do Wendy, Kelly & Mike, would you go to Nene talk show?
Luckily, I don’t have cable, so Nene is no longer on my TV. I only watched the shows because they are recapped here. Otherwise, I don’t care about any of these women. The shows are so scripted, what’s to care about? But if Nene did get a talk show, I would not watch.
Nene also recently stated if she joined Kandi’s A Mother’s Love → “I would definitely outshine the shit out of her in her own play.”
One thing we do know for sure… There is a talent booker out there somewhere, who needs a job!
This is juicy. I hope we do get details but I doubt anything except some more shade from both women somewhere down the line. I look forward to that.
I can see Nene showing her ass to a roomfull of women, thinking it will make her look more important. Wendy went to school, I think she knows better. I can also expect Nene to pretend nothing happened, all innocent to Mr Wendy. I think she wouldn’t act up like she does in a man’s face that is someone she doesn’t know she can run over them. Mr Wendy looks more threatening than the Atlanta husbands and the gay friends that she likes to scream into their tonsils.
I don’t think Wendy will comment on this particular incident, but she will most like throw shade at NeNe continuously for her behavior on the reunion. And we all know how much Wendy adores Kenya Moore.
She won’t mention the reunion.

NeNe is just a rude nasty Bitch !!! She Never has anything nice to say about any of the Girls even the ones that are her so-called friends…She is disrespectful and she actually is the Trash Box !! That is why she has to re-marry Gregg no one else wanted that Shady Stripper Bitch !!! NeNe could’nt hold a candle to Wendy Williams…….!!
I second that
Amen sistah! This ghetto heifer got a few coins and thinks she is on the same platform as “real entertainers”. She only received endorsement for the public because she was the “underdog” during the first few season of RHOA and we felt sorry for her. She had no accreditation to stand on against the other housewives. We always go for the “underdog” and now she is a real DOG!
Well I’m a huge Wendy fan. Have been for over a decade. She is messy and gives no fucks about pissing people off. Her husband is even worse than she is. As Yolanda would say, Wendy is a “hollywood friend” to everyone in her life except her staff, and she makes no bones about this. She has nothing to lose when it comes to “beefs” with other people.
The difference is that Wendy has way more influence than Nene. She better watch her step…
TT! Wow, thanks for the news update. Nene clearly has no class or even an ounce of dignity if she pulled this while a speaker with a mic.
I am crossing my fingers Wendy covers this in hot topics but like you mentioned, she may not for various reasons. I Hope you are able to update tmw as I won’t be home and will miss her show, awesome news !!!
Wendy always says”do not clap back to people who are beneath you become it gives them life” I don’t she’ll do more than mention she was at the event.
As they say, “If you meet an asshole in the morning,” you met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you’re the asshole.” Nene has issues with almost everyone she encounters, because, ASSHOLE!
Where is the petition to have Nene removed from Hollywood. I would sign it. Here ego is way too big and she needs to come back down off that high cloud she is on. She needs to be reminded how to humble herself and get a real reality check. Blackball that SOB
I will sign it too!!
Please get the petition started! I can’t stand her nasty attitude! Somebody please get this Ghetto Bird off the air! Everyone should also boycott her show with Kim! Moreover, Andy Cohn allows this heifer to talk to him
“any kind of way on WWHL”. She is his main meal ticket and has sold his soul to the devil for NeNe dumb ass
I said this same thing the other day.
“ghetto behavior?”
been a while since i have heard that phrase.
people became more thoughtful about using it when they realized some used it to ridicule all Black people.
Although I am certain that is not the intent here.
Also…Williams works very hard to craft a non “ghetto” brand, and is very intentional about a northeast/ny/nj persona.
While Atlanta’s women’s day has perhaps eaten too much from the capitalist pie (a pie most people consume, even bloggers with blogs to sell) it began as an effort to give small business people an opportunity to sell their wares.
Many women there are very bright and hardworking and I dare say know the meaning of “keynote” speaker.
Well, aren’t you the little word police. Don Lemon, is that you? The Women’s Expos are crapfests that use D List celebrities to lure in idiots who quickly become parted with their money.
There is only one Keynote Speaker at a CONFERENCE, there are zero Keynote Speakers at a retail sales event. The Keynote speech is the one that sets the main theme of the conference.
I’m sorry your feelers are hurt by this exposé on ghetto expos, but it is what it is.

Wendy’s NJ schtick is NOT a tv persona, that’s who she IS. Both her parents were teachers & educators, and Wendy herself is educated. Have you ever seen her parents? They are on her show all the time, and they certainly don’t fit in with the “ghetto” stereotype.
I think I have put my finger on why Wendy irritates me a little. It’s the little dainty run she does over to her chair every time. Cause little and dainty she is not. 🙂 Like her more than I do Nene….by far. The handbag with “Bye Wendell” painted on the bottom is just plain immature on Nene’s part.
Wendy has said before that she walks like that because she has like 20 seconds to get her to chair while wearing sky high heels after she comes out after the intro. She says she is very tall & top heavy, and can barely walk in those heels that her stylists make her wear, and she tippy toes it to her host chair. When she goes to the audience for questions she wears her flats.
I don’t watch her daily, but Wendy seems very real to me. I like her style. And the shoes? It scares me a bit when she does her little run to the chair. I would fall flat on my face in those shoes. I wish she would just kick them off, and then walk to her chair. THAT would be real.
I know it’s weird, but I love when she mentions her yummy tea. Now, when I watch her show, I make a cup for myself.
At least she doesn’t do the Nene walk meme, which Andy relentlessly played over and over, ad nauseum. Nene looked like a big ass dinosaur with her bent arms flailing in front her as she tried to balance herself walking in 6 inch+ heels that she barely squeezed into. Ick
I knew where to go for my morning tea. I will be back for crumpets.
You never disappoint. =)
Nene has been a big bully for years. There she was complaining last nite that some of the girls go to low on the show, when she’s the one who says the most horrific things ( what she said to Claudia). She’s always been that way, calling Kim names and calling her Miss Wig when I don’t believe nene ever shows her natural hair. She just yells louder than anyone else.
Frankly I don’t understand why anyone would hire her and why she stays on the show since she’s so rich.and being rich is usually her defense, as if that’s an excuse for her behavior. Andy’s s wimp for always going easy on her.
In these hard economic times its a blessing to have a job. As black women its a blessing to have a job. Stop fighting and save their money fifteen minutes of fame is short lived
Hey did Wendy come on where you all live because it did not come on at all
here. Did she miss her flight? Did it get ugly. According to Nene she was not around during the incident she only heard about what went on backstage.
What? She talks about Apollo and/or Theresa RHONJ almost every day. She constantly talks about the housewives.
No she doesn’t. She does not cover the show AT ALL. She does cover the felons and does an update based on a website that makes up information from time to time to remind us all that there is a housewife in jail.
If a housewife makes the news for a nefarious reason she covers it.
On today’s show, she thanked everyone for coming to see her at the Expo and said nary another word.
She is all about pushing the ID channel now and has been for well over a year.

I thought she was pushing the ID channel because her production company produces show(s?) on the that channel.
Yes definitely. She only talks about housewives if they have done something… And she mentions Theresa G viewing WW from prison…
I found NeNe mildly amusing the first few seasons, but I cannot tolerate her now. I was a little horrified that anyone would hire her for a Broadway gig, even if it was just for a few weeks. For me, her “brand” is a big mouth with an ugly attitude. I know “to each their own” and all of that, but how does this woman have any fans? If anyone wants me to buy anything with NeNe attached to it, or watch any show that gives her a lead, count me OUT. It sounds like an awful lot of people share my feelings, so hopefully she has just about reached her expiration date.
Kudos to Wendy for continuing to ignore NeNe on her show!
No way does Nene think that her cable show and cable fans are equivalent to Wendy Williams…Nene has no whete near the dedicated fan base that Wendy has. It does not matter how many interviews that she gives with the valley girl bustop barbie accent…She will never attract a broad fan base.
It’s classic Wendy. She refuses to slap back at someone beneath her. Smart.
Wow looks like Wendy’s husband was obnoxious. The hometown people protected Ms. Leakes wow.
Tamara, I was at the Women’s Expo, I live in Atlanta. I don’t know what happened backstage, but I do know this, Nene threw very sly shade at Wendy. Both ladies went on at their scheduled time. Wendy was first at 1:00 and Nene was 2nd at 1:30. The show ran maybe about 15-20 minutes late. When Nene came on, she came on shading Wendy. Her comment was “I’m not going to give y’all a list of things to live by, how you doing?” Wendy gave a list of 10 things every woman should do or have. I videoed the event I’ll have to go back and watch. But I asked the ladies standing around me why Nene had to be so ratchet. It really was not necessary. Nene did not give a speech. She took questions from the audience.
THIS!! That’s pretty much what everyone there said on Twitter.
The people attending Wendy’s book signing said Kevin stormed over to Wendy made her leave. There were still people in line wanting to get their book signed.
I also hear Kevin was arguing with organizers and Wendy’s best friend Diana.
Thanks y’all I knew you would bring it eventually. New post is up.

Sooo, Wendy’s team (aka Kevin) initiated the shade by demanding NeNe’s dressing room be moved far away from Wendy. Wendy gave a speech and never mentions NeNe. NeNe escalates the shade by coming out rebuffing Wendy’s “10” talking points. She even threw in a “How You Doin?” to twist the knife.
Let’s discuss the backstage confrontation that involved Team NeNe: Diana & Team Wendy: Kevin.
In this corner we have Diana Gowins: For TT fans that are not from FLA/GA, you may have missed the massive media coverage of Diana Gowins vs. mega attorney Willie E. Gary (somewhere around 2007). Diana approached, very married, Willie under the guise that she was an Olympic hopeful in need of a sponsor. She ended up pregnant with twins and a monthly child support payment of $28,0000. Yes, that was monthly; until Willie hired a private eye to tail Diana. It was discovered that Diana was spending the support on plastic surgery, lavish vacations and pretty much anything that didn’t benefit her twins. The support was then reduced to $5k/month. Keep in mind this is former stripper NeNe’s best friend. Let your moral compass guide you to how this happened.
In the other corner we have Big Kev, Wendy’s Husband. Wendy’s team has done an incredible job in revamping her image. I applaud them. She found a way to connect with middle America.
Wendy was a viscous, vile mess in the 90’s and into the 200’s. She was very nasty in her radio days. Puff Daddy had her run out of NY. But this is not about Wendy. This is about her husband Kevin.
Kevin was investigated by the FEDs for trying to put a hit out on Wendy’s radio competition, Miss Jones. In a strange turn of events, Wendy was investigated for trying to put a hit out on her husband, Big Kev!
Big Kev was sued for sexually harassing Wendy’s staff member. Settled out of court.
Wendy’s staff testified under oath that they witnessed Kevin physically abusing Wendy in the studio.
Also, I’m the Cunt Satchel.
noted.
In the future, email me things like this.
