So who buys a multimillion dollar house and then quits the job that is their primary source of income before the furniture is delivered? Nene Leakes would like for us to believe that it is her. It doesn’t make sense to me, but it is Nene we are talking about. I have been frantically trying to get in touch with my sources. So it may take me a bit to get the whole story.
But let me explain a few things that have been going on in the background. As I told you on my exclusive on June 9th that other sites are apparently calling their exclusive today, there are a LOT of casting changes possible for RHOA Season 8. I have NOT confirmed Kim Fields or any of the other three women being tested, nor have I confirmed that Claudia Jordan, Phaedra Parks or Porsha Williams are definitely out. I have confirmed that Nene, Kenya, Kandi and Cynthia were all offered contracts which I expected them to accept. Nene clearly did not sign hers yet. She may not like the terms. Or perhaps things with Gregg are not going as well as she likes to proclaim. Remember this season is supposed to be more focused on personal relationships. Or perhaps with the new women supposedly testing so well, the new production team decided Nene’s salary was not worth what she brings to the show anymore and they could pick up the new women for less money.
I did not jump on the bandwagon confirming any housewives departure and stated that testing was still ongoing and anything could happen. Claudia, Phaedra and Porsha were certainly on the bubble based on the information leaked to me about the other four women who were being tested. Whatever happened with Nene puts all sorts of possibilities back into play.
UNLESS, this is a ploy by Nene for more money. If it is she is playing a very dangerous game. That house is going to be hard to cool without a Bravo check. And if she has pissed off Bravo and the Road Trip with Kim Biermann thing is off the table, she is well and truly fucked. Time will tell. I am working on it as we speak.
Here is what Nene told People:
“This was definitely a hard decision for me. Me and my husband have been going back and forth on it for weeks now. But my contract is up and I just think this is the right time. This is my opportunity to spread my wings and do different things.”
“I feel a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders,” Nene Leakes tells People. There were times when I was a target.I won’t miss the negativity.”
” I think some of the girls will be happy. They always felt like I was the star, and they were never able to really shine with me there, so here’s their opportunity to shine.”I’m not saying I’m gone forever. I’ll probably pop up and play with those girls every now and then.”
“I’m actually going to be doing a new primetime television show with a big legend. All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one liners that I always have said on Housewives.”
Nene has posted on her website, ” This is so hard for me to type! I cry as I do so! I am so Grateful for all the love and laughs! Thank you so much to everyone that has watched and supported me over the years on this amazing platform! With lots of thoughts and prayer I’ve decided to step out on faith and not fear”
Andy Cohen has Tweeted ” @Andy: We love @NeNeLeakes & she is always welcome back to the house she helped build! She’s a Real Housewife forever ” He never comments on fired housewives so perhaps she really did quit. Story developing….
Trust and believe I am working my sources and will update you with the tea as soon as I can confirm a few things. Obviously, this will delay my RHOOC recap for tonight.
TT – ty for all you do. I will get on Twitter now:)
Way to bite the hand that feeds you.
Finally! I may watch RHOA again.
Me too but only if Whore-Sha and Fake-Dra go too.
I can not wait for this mess to unfold.
Gag.
m~
I hope she is well and truly fucked, and truly fucking gone.
For some reason I believe that she quit? I doubt she got a new primetime show tho, it’s probably like a guest appearance.
Sounds like she means it! Let us pray.
My first thought was negotiation ploy. I hope not though.
My second thought was: “Me and my husband…” Ugh. Still semi-literate.
“All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one liners that I always have said on Housewives.”
My first thought was, “This is the most ridiculous, awkward sentence ever. Shut up already.”
How did she say all that with a straight face? I bet it was in that phony prep-school-meets- strip club voice.
LOL Liz I was about to post the same thing. The elementary prose is bad enough, but meta talking about your own “one liners” is just cringeworthy.
That was funny. I thought talking about her platform was funny. Sounds like someone is getting help with her words
How about “They all felt like I was the star and they were unable to shine up there with me” Boy, she is just one chuckle after another!
I’m not all grammar policey like you Eric, but that bugged me to. You can always tell when she is posting her own comments. And just so you do judge me for the lack of period it was hers. 🙂

i thought the same thing! Weird I liked her like all the idiots and followers in the beginning — much like Manson’s little cult following. Then her true colors started to “shine.” Who knew women could be THAT trashy? Shame on Andy Cohen. But now I can perhaps watch this show again.
I think I will bring my tacos and margaritas from the other post over here and have myself a fiesta.
In my head, the little munchkins from Wizard of Oz are singing the ” ding dong, the witch is gone” song. I guess too many margaritas will do that to a person.
Ha ha! All it would take for me is the tacos. If Nene’s the witch, then who’s Dorothy?
Andy
Now you’ve planted the song in my head too. But it’s all good. I’ve been pretty deep in the vodka celebrating my birthday. And THIS news counts among the best birthday presents I could ask for. I had decided not to watch RHOA next season but now I may reconsider. I just hope Claudia is not really gone because her ripping Nene a new one was the highlight of season 7 for me.
I’m pretty sure that is racist, ShellBelle. 🙂

I’m leaning toward issues with production. The last production team could NOT deal with her and her diva ways. She repeatedly refused to film with the entire cast. The NEW production team may have already started to complain about her this filming season and Bravo decided she was the Atlanta Jill Zarin. This is mere speculation.

I think the reason is less money, her say in the new cast rejected, or her sons recent arrest….I’ll take money for $10 bob!
Please, please let it be true that she is gone.
Bye, Wig!
Brandi and Nene? Is it too good to be true? If Is gone I predict it will be for one season. And Brandi just keeps running her mouth on Twitter. I wonder how much Bravo is going to take from her?
Gurrrllll. Thanks for getting on top of this tea asap. I’m staying tuned! I wonder what this new tv show she’s doing working with a legend. She better hope it doesn’t get cancelled, if she didn’t pay off that mortgage first…which is unlikely.
Maybe the legend is Bill Cosby? Lol!
LMAO she better watch her drinks
Oh gosh, Melza, you’re bad – and that was hilarious!
I think it’s John Amos from Good Times.
Oh, well, time for new blood anyway.
Oh happy day! Although I hope this turns into a gloriously messy mess, please, please, please let it end with no more Nene! Please! I’ve been such a good girl! You owe me this!
I hope it turns out to be untrue and she returns
Bravo has now put out a statement saying she won’t return
I will wait for TT’s updates in order to further develop my opinion on the matter. I am wondering, though: Has Nene gone plumb loco?! Again, my spidey sense is whirling like a dervish. I can’t shake the feeling that there’s been a disturbance in the force.
Yassss…still, won’t believe it until I see it. I bet she’s holding out for more money. They probably don’t want to cough up money for someone who didn’t get as much camera time like Porsha (and she was labeled a ‘friend’ on the show). Nene didn’t do the trips because of her illness and flying. Nene also didn’t film as much as the other girls because she was on Broadway earning her Emmy. Lol. So it’s only natural that the powers that be cut that salary.
This seems like the likeliest scenario. They invited her back, but with seriously reduced pay and participation, so maybe that’s why it wasn’t worth it for her. Did the other wives, save Porsha and Phaedra, boycott her? Again, I’ll wait and see.
Thank you for this. Hope this opens the door for Claudia and shuts it on Phaedra and Portia.
Sounds like maybe she’s in negotiations for some new gig & feels like it’s her out from RHOA so she jumped the gun and quit. We shall see how this tv show goes. The HUGE business deal with Kim K turned out to be super lame, her track record isn’t good. We shall see.
Maybe she’s going to be in an episode of KUWTK (which I always read as: cunt) as payment for being in Kim’s stupid game. Big time Nene. >
Tonight on KUWTK the girls visit a wilderness park and are attacked my a giant moose. Guest starring Nene Leakes
Thank you, JustJenn. Seriously. >
In her mind Kim k w would be a big legend 🙂
I’m still waiting for her cameo as a zombie on “The Walking Dead”.
Bite your tongue! Why does everyone keep suggesting she’ll show up on shows I love? I’m working on less Nene, not more. Bad cat! No tuna for you! >
Actually, I was thinking (not source yet, just thinking) that she thinks she is going to get rich off the Kim K app and doesn’t have to do it anymore.

That was my first thought too, Tamara. She’s believing the hype, but no one can in all honesty forecast the success of an app.
Either way, I’m tickled pink. Oh happy day!
My thought also……..makes sense.
If there ever was a bitch in this world to believe her own hype its Nene Leakes!!
That app is extremely successful, but will Nene get rich off of it….No.
I really don’t even get why she’s in it.
If she gets a percentage of the revenue she WILL get rich off of it. But I am not even sure she got paid at all and if she did, it would most likely have been a flat appearance rate.

Right, but I highly doubt Kim is giving all thr people in her gamr a percentage of the revenue. I would be SHOCKED if she is. Agreeing with you that it’s most likely a flat fee or no fee.
I thought the exact same thing. I read that Kim K is making millions on the app. Maybe NeNe thinks she can do the same.
Thanks for the reminder. I wanted to go back and read your post about the app.
Everyone needs to be on their knees praying she won’t be back EVER!
I picture her not making it through one season without appearing…..popping up mid-season as a FOH.
Tamara, I am holding tight and waiting on word from YOU!!!! I know there is so much more to this developing story. Thanks for keeping us updated!!
No way on earth would I buy a mansion and walk away from a million dollar a season contract. Whatever her new gig is, more than likely she’s not pulling in a million for it. She hasn’t earned her stripes like the real actors and actresses. She may end up like Sheree if she’s not careful…an empty mansion with egg on her face.
Whoooooo! Girl! (I assume you’re female) Good burn! That was some sweet, delicious heat. Thank you.
She would not walk away from a million dollar job either. LOLLOLOLOL. Trust.

You actually believed she got a million dollar contract for that season?? I don’t know how it works so maybe with her other gigs and appearances, she made $1.5 million last year so she can finally call herself a millionaire (just one though) but no way she made that for one season.
I am waiting for tamara too yet andy indicating she is gone but welcome to come back when she wants
Now I’m wondering why she, Phaedra, and Portia were out the other night. Reminiscing already?
Advertising. They were trying to get Bravo’s attention. And it didn’t work! >
Scheming. Probably. I know nothing. I’m talking out my ass. It is interesting though. So many head scratchers in one post.
It’s PORSHA btw… You all and this Portia character..I’m like who is she!?
Portia is Kyles daughter, just so you know 🙂
My phone changed it. It’s a better speller than “Porsha’s” mom.
Probably test shooting with the new girls. Um, perhaps she was out shined? Kim Field may not want to film with NENE? WHo knows. My sources have gotten very quiet.

That was my first thought. Nobody wants to film with her? Thanks for the incredible updates! Loving it!
My first thought was that she doesn’t want to be on the show with someone who is actually a REAL actress. Sort of an icon no less. (If the kim fields rumors are true). Nene is such a jealous and insecure person, and I don’t think that she could be any sort of match for kim fields. She can’t intimidate her by over talking her, etc, because kim fields doesn’t mess around, and that’s all Nene knows how to do. She wouldn’t be able to stand the heat so she’s running the hell out of the kitchen as fast as she can.
Whatever the reason, in the words of Vicki Gunvalson “wooooo hoooooo!!!”.
These sources of yours are very good as far as accuracy and that’s wonderful. But they’re a lot like old timey strippers. They show a little something, and then right away, they cover it back up. So frustrating.
They have been MIA since I heard. Perhaps they were um… working tonight?

@lori But don’t you think that Nene would endure whatever embarrassment for the right amount of money? I figure she would, because new house, and her fondness for showing off. I mean, she hasn’t really put her best foot forward in the past either.
Nene has her FIRST house she has EVER had a mortgage on, she is screaming everywhere about furnishing it. AND SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SHOW IT OFF THIS SEASON? That makes NO sense. Plus Bravo paid her more than any show she would be fifth fiddle on with some legend… Something is up.

Maybe the newbies’ testing went so well that Bravo wouldn’t hire a friend for Nene to shoot with (Phaedra/Porsha). I could see her being too scared to film without backup. Maybe. >
I don’t know. Something definitely isn’t passing the smell test with her just “moving on”, that’s for sure. I’m really looking forward to you getting to the bottom of it tt. 😉
@ The Lady Cocotte- That was my thought as well. If the new girls meshed really well then maybe they didn’t want to hire one of Nene’s minions to shoot with. Other than those two, who will film with her. Maybe Cynthia if she feels like beating a dead horse or Kandi because she knows how to play nice and cash her check.
Man, that would be so freakin’ awesome if Kim Fields delivered an ultimatum
TT, I hope you don’t get sick of hearing this but you’re the best! Like seriously the best. I know you didn’t personally talk Nene out of signing her contract but in my mind you did. You made this happen just for us!
Lol. What a different story than with the “other” housewives dismissal.
Let me get it, Nene, Brandi, and Staci gone. I’ll believe it when the season starts without any of them. I do like the idea of fresh faces though. Thanks for the good hot tea Tamara.
Staci?
Stassi, maybe?
Oh, Stassi. Makes sense. I couldn’t figure that one out. >
Maybe she landed a gig on American Horror Story Motel. She can wear her Bride of Frankenstein wig and scare the crap out of all the F/X viewers.
Shut your mouth! You’re harshing my “getting rid of Nene” buzz. To be honest, I’ll watch AHS even if she’s on it but I’ll be pissed. And I’ll blame you, DarkThoughts. >
She was the team beast leader…she scares the poop outta me.
Girl bye! *fingers crossed* I don’t know what RHOA will be without her, but it’s been pretty crappy the past couple seasons so I guess it can’t get any worse.
I wish her all the best, Nene had her haters and lovers as all the woman do so hey. And confirm what? She is leaving what the hell else do you need to know, she said all she needed to say as well as Andy. Instead of sources wouldn’t it be better if you could just call the ultimate source Nene herself lol. And for the life of me it’s gonna be interesting to see how her and Kim show turns out seeing as how they don’t seem to interact or even like each other and both declined to be pictured together at up fronts.
Hard to believe she would turn down the RHOA contract unless she has something else lined up – now, who would NeNe describe as a “big legend” ?
What about the road trip show with Kim Z – was that much ado about nothing?
Waiting for TT….but I think she called their bluff on the $$$ and lost!
This is my thought too. Nene’s batting 0 for 0 with her bluffing, what with Kenya calling her donation bluff.
Nene is a quiter. She quit another show she was on also. TT had a story about the “charity” she played for. She thinks she is bigger than she is. She has a huge ego. She makes poor business decisions imo. Bottom line she is a quitter. If something gets uncomfortable or hard she quits. It is a really pathetic thing to do.
I hope RHOA does fabulous without her. It’s an already sinking ship, but my eyes simply won’t be able to handle the impending roll if it finally dies the season after Nenes departure.
Clearly I’m in the minority on this site but I’m going to miss NeNe. Let your hatred blind you to the truth if you like, but NeNe is/was RHOA. The ratings will plummet without her. I believe in people following their dreams, so I wish NeNe nothing but continued success.
yes yes TT!!! you never dissappoint, I am screaming with this news as if i won a lottery ticket. my friend is looking at me like i have suddenly gone mad. NeNe please don’t come back. you will sure not be MISSED. Bye Felicia….

My little thoughts say Kandi and her ski trip were a bust for Bravo so Nene and Kim’s road trip was not going to bring the ratings up either. BUhBYE Nene!!
Maybe, but I think Kandi may cover the costs of her show, because there is no other reason she has so many with such bad ratings.

Holy SHIYUT! So the road trip show got cancelled?! I don’t know how I missed that. I’ve been up to my armpits in work, so…
Tamara: I’ve been thinking about how Andy worded that “farewell” tweet to Nene. I have a hunch, but your experience in these matters outweighs that, so I’d love your opinion. Andy and I are both Gemini’s. I found that out recently. Gemini’s have a way with words. To me Andy’s tweet has the aroma of a very deceptively polite “fuck you”, and a “don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you” (Nene’s words) kind of feel. Like he’s saying to her: “Yeah, you can come back to the show when you’ve also come back to your senses!” Because when he wrote “she is always welcome back to the house she helped build!”, to me that sounds like he’s using her OWN words to shame her. Like he’s saying: “You didn’t build shit, Nene! Who the fuck do you think you are?! You’re just a fucking employee. Don’t ever forget that!!!” Maybe I’m reading way too much into what I see as subtle little hints? What say you?
Um no one has said Kim and Nene’s trip is a bust. YET.
Kandi’s only show that bombed ratings wise was the first one. Her wedding spin off was the best rated HW spin-off and this awful Ski Trip one did pretty well too.
I will be very surprised if that road trip show happens. I just never saw Kim leaving her husband and kids for that long, especially because Kroy only gets a small amount of time off.
Minky I’m inclined to agree. Andy’s subtle “Bye, Felicia” strengthens my impression that she was trying to get more $ out of Bravo and failed. Either that or she’s too scared to film without Porsha and Phaedra since she’s burned all her other bridges to hell and back.
Who’s the TV legend ? It must be Ryan Murphy lol. In Nene’s vision, pretty much anyone can be considered “legend”, even Andy Cohen.
Honey, Nene also said she had some big shit cooking in the crock pot with Kim Kardashian. And we all saw what that turned out to be. Puhleeeze! Girl, bye.
That girl bye talk is getting old. Don’t try to be raffishly ghetto.
I’m trying to be raffish just like you’re trying to be demure. I’m trying to conjure Nene’s voice in my comment for a comedic effect. BTW: What’s “ghetto”? And, more importantly, how does one go about acheiving the status of existing as such?
Umm.. how was Kandi’s Ski Trip a bust.
It had better ratings than any of show on Bravo on Bravo while it was on. It beat RHOC’s premiere and RHONY average, and everything else including Southern Charm, Shahs, and NYC Listing. That’s why Kandi is sticking around.
^excuse the grammatical errors.
I have never watched an episode of RHOA but of course I know who Nene is and for the record she is one of the people on TV that have always made me want to turn the channel. However, I also watched her try to talk her way out of paying the $20,000 to the Detroit charity when she lost the bet to what’s her name. So even tho the media has asked Nene many times and she responded that she would donate it in her own time, and then recently buys a multi million dollar house, I really would be a happy camper if Nene is never on my TV again.
Yes…Sookie..She was suppose to donate to The Detroit Public Schools and RENEGED! The lack of charter is unbelievable..
Yeah, Nene always renegs, or runs away, that’s her MO. This time she is either running away from the thought of going up against an established actress (and the other cast mates who have a legit bone to pick with her), or someone forced her out. I don’t really care; she is not benefiting from her Bravo “platform” any longer. She is a vile creature, loud, ignorant, and obnoxious.
Bye Felicia! I used to Love NeNe in the beginning before she developed the cocky attention seeking behavior. She hasn’t been relatable in the longest.
I used to Love NeNe in the beginning before she developed the cocky attention seeking behavior. She hasn’t been relatable in the longest. #ByeFelicia
Nene has always made her employment with Bravo appear to be one where she dictates the parameters of her contract…until last year, that is, when her role was significantly altered. Sure, she had her orgy gig and braw’way but Bravo could have figured a way to include both of those events into the season and they didn’t. To me that spoke volumes. Her limited capacity may have been a test run for Bravo and it proved profits were not affected. Bravo crunched numbers. Nene lost. Possibly in Andy’s new role he couldn’t save her this time around.
I get the sense Nene’s decision to leave housewives is contractural. Also surprising since this is a decision she contenplated for only 3 weeks following the purchase of a new home! She may have counted her chickens before they hatched but Nene is like a cat and always seems to land on her feet. The industry she so desparately wants to be a star of is a hard one. Those professionals who surround her willl not roll with the belligerent, aggressive anger issues, manic bullying tactics and will tire of her stupidity quickly. That side of Nene’s personality will raise its ugly head as she has never been one to keep her ugliness in check for to long, especially when she feels she has the upper hand.
Good ridance, Nene. Deuces.
Totally agree. I’m reminded of what they showed of her time on Braw’way: real professionals who had no time or patience for Nene’s Nene-isms. Eg: when she asked if she could sometimes add her hood-speak or during her costume fitting when she was making her “bye, wig” jokes. Both times she was met with annoyance & “I don’t have time for this.” Being Nene might get her a couple of jobs but it’s not enough to ensure her a career. Bye, (blond) wig. >
In her mind Kim k w would be a big legend :). Hood speak during Cinderella? Haha
” Being Nene might get her a couple of jobs but it’s not enough to ensure her a career. Bye, (blond) wig. >”
This is too funny. The insert is to die for. What they showed of Broadway was embarrassing. How silly can a person be? Annoyance is the perfect word.
I loved those scenes because they showed Nene’s world as juxtaposed to the real, professional world. She exposed herself as an ass, and I loved it. I thought that production must have included those snippets to mock her, Or maybe it was just my own wishful thinking, lol.
I think Bravo was pretty happy with the ratings from Kandi’s Ski Trip. Married to Medicine received relatively no promotion and it looks like they thought the timeslot would sell itself.. and it hasn’t
I must be alone, but I love Married to Medicine.
On this blog I think you are… I have an appearance on the show this coming Sunday, please watch 🙂
I like it too, but I haven’t bothered to watch past the second epi this season. I will get to it. No bloggers seem to be doing recaps, so I have nowhere to talk about it with others, so I have no reason to watch it in a rush 🙂
My seatbelt is fastened, ready for a ride on The Nene Crazy Train. Can’t wait to see where this takes us, but so glad to have her caustic personality off of RHOA. Please Andy, don’t look back!
Sources are saying that Nene will replace Kelly Ripa on. Live with Kelly and Michael. I think bravo was finally fed up with Nene Leakes Nene was demanding much more money. She was always disrespecting producers. She was a night mare. And face it. Nene is not a aactress only in her own mind. Not wanting to film with certain cast members. If Nene was so important to RHWOA. Bravo would have met her money demands. They wanted her gone.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Those are not sources. Those are voices in your head. Nene WAS HORRIBLE the day she sat in for Kelly Ripa. She was like a dear in headlights and all she could say was “You looking good” to Michael and he male guest. It was the worst guest hosting I’ve ever seen. She was decent on Anderson Cooper’s show but she tanked on Live!

Does Andy have anymore buddies in the talk show business? Kelly, Anderson. Too bad Bethenny went belly up before Nene had an opportunity to sit in for her. Nene should thank her lucky stars for Andy’s influence and connections.
Oh dear, how is she going to pay her mortgage?
No doubt she’s unconcerned about the mortgage, etc.. After all, “she’s rich” ! LOL
I personally won’t miss her on RHOA if she is , in fact. leaving.
I think the RHOA was the closest to “stardom” that Nene will ever experience. She should have stayed on the show and taken jobs or made television appearances when not filming. I hope I’m wrong and that she finds a hit TV show to star in.
What happened to her show with Kim ZB?
I haven’t heard anything about it. Kim just finished taping Don’t Be Tardy (Season 4?) If it was supposed to be a summer road trip I don’t see how she could have done that and RHOA.

My coworker doesn’t watch the RHOA show but knows who Nene Leaks is, and her impression is not favorable. She knows her from: getting in Star Jones face when she was trying to walk away and be a professional running a fake charity, dancing horribly on Dancing with the Star, and lastly buying an expensive house after not donating to the public school. If she thinks she is an A-list celebrity with a good reputation she is really living a fantasy.
She was also on Fashion Police last year, I think. Really embarrassing.
RHOA is dead with out her. Like it or not she had a big fan base. I don’t think Kenya, Kandi, and Cynthia can carry the show. JMHO.
I guess a lot of you really hate Nene. I like her and if she does leave the show I’d probably stop watching. I wish Nene nothing but the best in whatever she decides to do, as well as Porsha and Phaedra. And nobody’s children are perfect.
After I commented here, a Nenetard chased down my fairly non-existent blog to tell me: “For someone who is going through Chemo…you are sure full of hate of this black women who is making more than you would in your very short life. You should concentrate on your health and not deliver hate and envy.” Luckily for me, my “very short life” isn’t going to be so short. I completed chemo last year & I’m in remission! But I’m not a rich bitch, that’s true. Maybe Bryson can send me some of those Taco Bell paychecks…
What a psycho.
I don’t get the constant comments on Nene and her money. We all work, we all “cash checks”. It’s such a ridiculous thing to brag about.
Glad you made it through. The Nenetards are just as crude and rude as she is. She really has these people thinking you can conduct yourself in that manner in real life and become a “Rich Bitch”. If anyone acted the way she does in a professional setting they would be fired or sent to HR immediately.
So nasty and so rude! Good to hear you’re in remission. Take as much time as you need for yourself! 🙂
Oh dear, I’m so sorry that those hateful things were said to you, Lady Cocotte.
Oh, I found it funny. I’ve heard about how low her fans go but this was my first time seeing it firsthand. And all over a silly Moose. Preposterous! >
She’s a miserable person…who does that!!! Glad you’re in remission…You’re still STANDING and thats as rich as it gets…
So you got called a hater and by a hater? You have arrived, my dear. Soon you shall graduate to racist. I am jealous because fat usually comes before hater and you seem to have missed that step.

Yeah TT, the Lady did get to bypass the fat shaming but they did throw in the chemo/short life card so…I guess they thought the chemo would keep her from being fat. So happy about the remission The Lady Cocotte. Screw the haters.
What an idiot. Keep fighting the fight.
What a trasbox, saying that to you, Lady Cocotte. Cheers to you and your remission
Team Lady Cocotte.
Everyone is being so sweet! Thanks for all the kind words. I’m a very lucky (and grateful) girl to be cancer-free. And you didn’t realize it at the time but this blog really got me thru the worst of it. What TT has put together, let no Nenetard put asunder. >
Lol! That’s one of the best comments I’ve ever read here.
Congratulations for getting through chemo. I hope you are okay
Awesome! Maybe now she will have time to learn how to write properly.
YAY!!!! The wicked witch is gone! Hopefully, now they will bring Claudia back.
I guess I wont be watching next season. Say what you want about Nene but her being polarizing was one of the reasons she was good for the show. Also, she was one of the few women (other than Kandi of course) from this show to truly branch out and bring real success stories to the show. I agree with everyone that said she was getting a big head for the show but I get it she used her platform and hussled her way to some good money. I hope she gets her own spin offto show her new scripted show and other business ventures. Kandi is really the only other one from RHOA to take the show and expand to some real money but she was already rich so.
I find it difficult to root for a woman that so blatantly resents success for others. Time after time, she complained that other women were not happy for her, the reason she started the saying about being rich, bitch. In actuality, she is mad about others having opportunities, unless it will benefit her. Remember how she acted close to physically abusing Kim Z on the bus. That was all about Kim having an audience and earnings without Nene. She was scared Kim was going to turn into a pop star.
She is happy only if you were rich when she met you and she can possibly wheedle you into boosting her up, example: Kim K. Nothing about Nene has ever demonstrated a generous, kind spirit. I couldn’t care less if she falls flat on a broke ass. If she becomes the next big thing, she will not be the first asshole to be rich and infamous.
If this is really true (and I hope it is) let us pray and let the church say AMEN!! Lol
Lady C didn’t know you were going through that keep up the fight. Your positive attitude is inspiring. Haters are going to hate no matter what you do. I see your posts all the time and love your spirit for life and ability to see the bright side of everything. My mom just died last week from cancer and I have been so sad about it. It’s really refreshing see someone who is conquering this disease. You will beat it and thanks for lifting my spirits.
Thanks, Cheychey. So sorry about your mom. >
Please, accept my condolences, Cheychey. Losing one’s Mother is such a huge loss.
Cheychey…So sorry for your loss.
Chey Chey, hoping you have sweet memories to comfort you in the days ahead.
So very sorry for your loss, Cheychey. Sending peace and love your way.
Didn’t she say something similar last year? She was leaving because of the negativity, blah, blah, blah?
Maybe her superstar legend is Kim Kardashian? Just kidding.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is her superstar legend. Nene doesn’t live in the real world with the rest of us. BTW am I the only one that doesn’t “get it” where it comes to Nene being on Kim K’s app? Like, what’s the logical connection?
I agree. I don’t get it, either.
Trumps exact quote – “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best; they’re not sending you,” Trump said in his announcement speech. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
I really loved this site and Tamara but she along with quite a few commenters proved how totally ignorant they are today. You all sound like a bunch of backwards, uneducated and racist people.That target the downtrodden. American births and breeds her own criminals, rapists and drug dealers.
Having a bad day????..
All I said was I wanted tacos. That doesn’t make me racist. Just hungry.
Who is the downtrodden you’re referring to here? I’m confused.
Kate, is English your 2nd language? Because that Trump quote has not one iota of application here. Probably backwards of me to say…
She posted in the wrong thread. It happens. >
What if she got a gig on The View? I have a weird feeling…
Nene said she got a prime time gig (?). Unless she was confused and meant “prime” gig.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she has no clue what “prime time” means. Though she’d be more suited to “The Real”.
I sure hope not. I don’t think Whoopie would be able to put up with her. I’m already on the verge of not watching the view anymore. That would more than seal the deal. I had only started watching again when rosie o came back (I had watched on and mostly off over the years) and since rosie left again, I constantly ask myself “why am I watching this?!?”. Especially with the most recent addition.
Also, don’t we already have someone just like her on the real? Is that messy show even still on the air? Lol
Bye Nene.
I think Bravo was ready to let her go but was too cowardly to fire her, so they pulled out a real star whose presence would send her packing…Kim Fields. Nene’s ego can’t handle not being the star so she quit. Bravo gets what they want twofold: a star that could bring class to the show, and farewell to the monster they created. Well played Bravo, well played!
You maybe on to something….
Carlos King also posted a photo about nene killing rumors that there tension between the two that commenters her ran with
Oh there were big problems with Carlos and Nene. Carlos was trying to produce a show that Nene was being a diva about filming with others.
Does Nene’s departure mean Carlos might do rhoa again? >
I’m guessing…I think she wanted a raise and demanded it and Bravo scoffed and she walked. Let me know if I’m close?
Thanks to everyone for their kind words!
And PLEASE don’t let it be American Horror Story!
Great! Now also keep Claudia. Thanks.
I’m rewatching the season 6 reunion & it reminds me why I celebrated Nene leaving. She truly is so nasty & so rude. Sigh. Bye, Felicia.
My guess…Nene wants to be brought back like Bethenny was. Most likely the next season of Atlanta will have diminished ratings (NOT because of the cast necessarily, or lack of Nene BUT because people appear to be over the whole housewives setup) and Nene will of course declare that it is due to the lack of ‘Nene’ so she will come and save the day for a similar paycheck that Beth got.
Just a guess. I feel like it may be correct though.
I really hope Nene’s plan for a victorious return backfires on her in the most epic of way, however I fear you may be correct.
