So this is what went down at the Atlanta Expo. I have heard several reports that Nene said something about Wendy’s speech about 10 rules for life or whatever it was. Nene took the stage after Wendy and insulted her speech and then proceeded not to give one at all.
Read on for what went down and for what Big Kevin allegedly did in response. Utter foolishness on both sides.

TamaraTattles Spy Natasha reports:
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.
Another local with tea reports:
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.
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.
Thanks to both ladies for sharing the tea. This is some serious ratchetness. These two have an ongoing war. And surprisingly, Bethenny Frankel is a the root of the issue. Both of these women… SMH.
And people still keep inviting her to events! SMH!
Damn.
OMG! I had no idea about Wendy. The thing is, Wendy is much more famous than Nene. Okay, she and her husband sound like a couple of thugs, but if Nene had just behaved like a lady, it would have avoided the need for a confrontation and she could have come off looking good at the event. Oh, the stupidity!
I used to live in New York part time in the 90’s: that damned Wendy was a messsssssy woman. I didn’t much care for her kind of shock jock radio antics ( she was really outrageous like an Hip-Hop version of Howard Stern mixed with Rush), but I somehow came around once she cleaned herself up for mainstream American TV. Every once in a while on her show though, you can still see old glimpses of the diabolical Wendy of yesteryear…blowing up other people’s spots and throwing salt on wounds she herself inflicted…she was a really nasty character back in the day. You can probably still find clips of her show online, but take note, she was a far cry away from “Mrs. Hunter” in the pencil skirt and V-neck cardigan we see today. Oddly enough, the same celebrities she used to obliterate on radio , she now sits and smiles in their faces when they’re on the Wendy show. It’s fascinating to see how she and her guests just sit and try to out “Chesire” grin each other during these interviews after all the things she’s said through the years.
I remember her in NY and couldnt listen to her because she was just so nasty and vicious. I love gossip but didnt find her entertaining. There are low blows and then there is Wendy.
Indeed. In an interesting turn of events, for whatever reason she now holds some kind of grudge against her former partner-in-crime, Charlemagne. She bristles at the mere mention of his name, and he has said publicly that the blow-off hurts a bit considering how close they kept him to the chest back in the old days. When she blows him off you get just another glimpse at “Old” Wendy, she of the Love&Hip Hop Blonde Wig- Method Man from Wu Tang Clan is going to have my ass whooped for Talking Greazy- variety.
Wowzers. What do you say to this type of tea. -Jaw drops and waits to TT to pick up the shock with another update! Omg
I just tried to say that Nene doesn’t want to mess with Kevin and Wendy in the previous post. But most of the allegations have been dealt with in courtrooms. So there you have it.
Although the commenter didn’t include any of Nene’s scandalous shit. like this

watch to the bitter end to see Atlanta’s attitude toward Nene.
Dirty trash box type segment… Messy boots and all! Atlanta Fox News is telling Nene ‘they SEE her!
Good Heavens!
Messy Boots! Wow.
Thank TT….A HOT mess!
Not surprised; they’re grimey, and it’s really going to catch up to them. That’s why she’s so angry and bitter. #moneyproblems
The thirst is real! The Feds just need to watch Housewives to figure out who to investigate for fraud, racketeering, etc. Thirsty Criminals by Bravo.
Didn’t she worked for local fox?her do called internship?
Wow!! Phonies to the core.
Sounds like Mrs Leakes is making some serious enemies. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
Wendy does not need Kevin, I wonder why she’s still with him? That is sad.
He’s the person behind the scenes managing her career and negotiating her deals (for a long time now). He’s not the most liked fellow, but he “commands” respect from everyone around him and they are, for all intents and purposes, a team.
I believe Wendy and Kevin have so much DIRT on each other that they’re stuck with each other!
…mmm hmm.
Home, ain’t that the truth!
Willie Gary how about I work just a few walking minutes from his office. I don’t recall that case but I’m not saying that it is not true. One of his sons was arrested for drugs. So Nene friend that was on her wedding special Diana. Someone needs to shut Nene down she is about to be at the end of her popularity. People are talking about her behavior and you can best believe RHOA will be her only source of income. She will never get to A list status. That b***c done lost her freaking mind. She couldn’t give a speech because she not educated like that so she resulted to Q&A. For the life of God why are people so into that kind of behavior of hers.
did you go to school with Nene?
Where is that person who translates your comments?

It’s just so hilarious to me, I’m mocking the whole situation in Nene talk. Smh. Translation below.
What do you mean by that?

Someone else asked her this & you called them grumpy lol. Floridagal you’re honne have to learn to type coherently if you want to be heard in this blog
Gonna*
LMAO!!!!
TT, I thought there were rules when it came to commenting? Grammar, punctuation, spelling i.e. overall a general grasp of sentence construction when attempting to convey an opinion. I think I agree with the above commentator’s POV, but the writing style makes it hard to be sure.
Thanks for the Nene, Wendy, Kevin and Diana tea (you sure have the best army of followers w/good information). And although it makes for good reading, the four of them (Nene,Wendy,Kevin &Diana) have created a sort of “trickle down” effect of ding doings!

Don’t quit your day job. Now it is like something that has been through the google translator program in two directions.

Wow.
I’ve been in a silly mood lately with my commentary on the blogs but I do admit, this behavior is atrocious by both ladies. I understand Nene’s appeal to the audience and am even entertained by the grandeur of all the reality TV foolery or else I wouldn’t be commenting on a reality star. On a personal level however, both these ladies bahavior based on the accounts sent to TT from this event seem appalling. This drama stemming from the whole Bethany Frankel debacle with Bravo seems forced. To be offended by commentary of the painting of a bag seems more like it from Wendy’s show. Nene’s ego is huge and so is Wendy’s. It was just a matter of time before they bumped heads. These are two ratchet divas trying to hide their ‘hood’ tendencies and the audience is not fooled. We just keep popping popcorn and wait for the updates cuz they’re both making a fool of themselves!
Messy x 2!
But NeNe could be GREAT, I tell you! (sarcasm) It’s a sign of the times that she has fans who still actually admire her. And I guess the people who donated to her “charity” got some twisted drawers rather than helped some twisted hearts.
I wonder what her sons think about the behavior of NeNe and Gregg? If they’re going to be like them or if they’re embarrassed.
Considering the oldest son has been in trouble with the law kind of answers that question. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree….
TT! You are awesome! You always get the best Tea!
“You never win, when your dirty” -Lenethia Leakes.
I used to enjoy watching Nene. She was fun. As soon as Anderson Cooper proclaimed his admiration for her, BAM ego gets over inflated. A switch flipped in Nene and she started to come off as entitled. She began “patting herself in the back” & “tooting her own horn”
Nene’s insecurities became vocal proclamations stating the opposite of the truth. In time she started to make some side cash, but by no means was she a “Rich Bitch” I had hoped that having her TV sitcom canceled, that she could humble herself. She yodels her insecurities to the world when she over talks others.
It is hard to watch a reality tv show with so many of the women being on the defensive. The first seasons of every RH franchise are always the best, then it goes downhill.
Wendy Williams- I have always enjoyed her TV show. I do not know much about her besides what I see on the show and what info TT gives.
Thank you TT for giving the links to the stories so we can make our own informed decisions. Queen Tamara, as u wish.
Those of us who live in New York ,and remember Wendy’s WBLS radio show, stand in awe at how she totally transformed her image. In the old days, she used to use the phrase: ” how you doin'” to cast doubt on the sexuality of myriad rap stars and entertainers. Puffy was one of her favorite punching bags.
Mariah and Whitney Houston were regularly skewered to the point where a high Whitney called her show and verbally tore Wendy a new butthole!
NeNe is really Eve to Wendy’s Margo Channing( re: All About Eve- a great movie). Wendy’s husband is a straight up thug who is not a guy you ever want to mess with … He would grind poor old Greg into a powder and deposit the remains in his own toilet bowl mug!
wow- i knew/heard about Diana. But i knew her as Nenes friend, she was pictured on her wedding special. Did not know that she was now wendy’s best friend. This all just brings to mind the saying…. you will know their names by the company they keep.
That was a typo. She is still Nene’s best friend.
Thanks Kay. I wondered if that sentence about Diana was a mis-type. Neither Nene or Wendy seem the type to share the same best friend.
Put them in the same wig and the same clothes and Wendy and NeNe could be the same person. I always found them rather interchangeable (except Wendy has a better command of the English language).
I agree. I can only take Wendy in small doses. She is usually very critical and “holier than thou” about celebrities who have lost their way. I think this is wrong and just bad karma. Nene is a train wreck. She is an egomania, and quick to blame everyone else for her vile behavior. She has multiple personalities and all of ’em are hoodrat and messy boots.
A bit off topic, but when I was getting my nails done today, directly across from me was a magazine called “Black Hair” and Nene was the cover girl with the Ramen noodle wig on. I could not believe my eyes. Somebody likes that mess? Really?
I don’t care about Wendy’s mess ways. She has admitted on her own show that her past is ratchet. I think there is more to this story that we will never know about but isn’t this interesting for Nene? As if she could bout with Wendy.
Wendy doesn’t slap back at those she deems beneath her. She won’t give Nene an ounce of publicity.
I don’t know anything about Wendy except for her show. I know that when the show started, the shows that cover TV were saying things like Wendy doesn’t even know to keep her legs together when she sits down and now they are showing clips from her show as an event that day. Add to that the fact that she is moving into doing comedy routines in Vegas and New Jersey and a clear picture of financial success is beginning to emerge. So why would Nene attack her? I do not see Nene making those same moves. Would you go against a big guy from NJ? I wouldn’t and I don’t think Greg will either. Nene better hush before she gets Greg killed.
A big shout out to the person above who said that every time Nene opens her mouth to brag more of her insecurities fall out. Absodamnlutely! Just look at her on the reunion couch, all closed off and her back turned. She could not shout in body language any louder. She’ll be sad when the money is gone.
Well said!
Wendy has got to have Kevin control his temper. Wendy is on TV now the executives will not tolerate that thuggish behavior especially in that public forum. It was said that he was saying bitch this and bitch that Diana stopped him from going on stage and dragging that girl allegedly. With all that being said Ms. Leaked better watch herself she might be in New York and get a brick tossed at her head and if she actually is on a blood thinner she may have a brain bleed. Andy should not encourage that type of behavior. Greg need to put on his man pants and control his wife.
When will NeNe learn that Wendy is not going to give any of her antics air. Wendy knows that NeNe thirst for publicity and Wendy has publicity every day. Good or bad Wendy will always win the air wars. Bye Lenethia, go have a seat and a drink girl. You look parched.
Even though Wendy Williams is a slimy snot, something tells me you were going for vicious, not “viscous.”
TT. Thanks for the Video! A much needed giggle this morning
I think they should have a charity tag team wrestling match. Wendy and Big Kevin vs Nene and Gregg. If only they can get Gregg to put down Nene’s purse long enough.
I can see Nene squaring off against Big Kevin.
Wouldn’t that be something. Whoever pulls the other’s wig off first wins!
Gregg could powder Kevin to death. As he is disoriented by the powder cloud, NeNe can hit Kevin with her purse.
I use to watch Wendy but she tells too many lies about other people. Not a good person and I had no idea what she is really like. A thug for a husband.
I don’t have much use for either of them, but if both were drowning and I could only save one, I’d go for Wendy. Nene’s power trips are old and tired. Plus, her new nose makes her look like Humpty Hump from Digital Underground.
They both need to grow up but I will say this, I love the fact that Wendy pays nene dust on her show. While nene is on Twitter throwing shade at Wendy, Wendy is working on her comedy and many other ventures plus her show is renewed through 2017. Nene has nothing to stand on but reality tv, she had to do a show with kim because no one wants to watch her boring a$$ on a show with just her and greg. She will never be an Lisa rina or Eileen or even kenya who were acting before they came onto reality tv. See the thing is nene is all talk because I’m sure without a contract or camera’s Wendy, Marlo, Sheree, Kandi or Claudia would woop nenes a$$ and she knows that but I’m gonna leave it at that.
I wish Mrs Lenethia Leakes would conduct herself with some more decorum. Correction, with decorum as SOME would suggest that she was already conducting herself well. She is not. If she was smarter, she would have maintained a professional and cordial relationship with Wendy Williams.
Nene, how far do you think your career will go if you keep alienating influential people? (I know you check this blog religiously straight after Google alert updates you.) Do better. You are fast approaching your 14th minute.
Agreed. This is precisely why I don’t buy her so-called melt down on the reunion show. If she’s trying to mend her ways and become more likeable, she will not achieve that by dissing anybody who crosses her. Seems like Wendy W is a bad one to make an enemy. However, I think her husband should have risen above it. If he truly has clout in the industry, there are quiet and effective ways to make Nene pay for what she said, without raising his voice or uttering a single word to her. In fact, I suspect Nene did this intentionally to get a rise out of them and publicity for herself. Even negative publicity keeps your name out there and people talking about you and wondering what you will do next.
Get her Wendy/Kevin, GET HER!
I’ve been a long time Wendy fan. The Wendy you see on tv 5 days a week is not the Wendy I grew up knowing. I LOVE both Wendy’s but do not be fooled. She has a vicious side to her like none other if you come for her.
Wendy and Big Kev sound like thugs. As always, NeNe thinks she’s above everyone. Stay in your lane and allow others room to be in theirs. Can’t we all just get along?
That Diana tea was delicious! I knew there was something fishy about her…
I dont blame her husband for being upset. Nene was heckling Wendy right in front of her.. This was supposed to be about empowerment, but thuggery is all Nene knows.
