Nene Leakes has arrived. Well, she is in LA to film To Tell The Truth. Preproduction started on Wednesday for those who are not Betty White. Nene and TTTT Host Anthony Anderson were on the set working on blocking and wardrobe and such today. Former NBA player and ESPN host Jalen Rose was also on the set. It seems like there may only be three judges this season, but there have always been four, so if it is only three that will be new.
Filming for the show is on July 13th – 15th and I am going to need all of my LA people to sign up for free tickets here to bring me the tea! There will be two shows filmed each day. The first one will probably be the most interesting. It’s super fun to go to these tapings I went to Family Feud once in Atlanta with Steve Harvey. There is a lot of wait time particularly if you are going to the second show and the first one runs late. Bring a big bottle of cold water because you may have to wait outside.
From the ticketing site: The new comedy/variety show version pits Betty White, NeNe Leakes and a third panelist (additional celebrity guests will join throughout the season) against three people who all claim to be the same person with the same incredible talent, job or achievement. One is telling the truth, the others are not. Each panelist will get to grill the contestants and decide who they think is telling the truth. Anderson hosts, his mom Doris will be the official scorekeeper and will ask questions of her own, (not to mention embarrass her son every chance she gets). The celebrity panelist who performs the worst will have to tweet a lie about themselves to the world. There’s even a house band — Cheche Alara and his Band of Liars!
That is the prettiest and fittest I’ve ever seen Nene look. She looks quite lovely.
I think she looks pretty, too. Liking the longer hair.
I don’t think that hair is very flattering. I think shorter or fuller would be better.
Seriously? Her nose looks enormous. Must be bad lighting or angle. Looks to me like she’s trying Kim K makeup with the nude lip and contouring. Not a good look on her. And the nasty wig hairline?
She does looks fit though. A butterface look overall.
Fine, I thought it was understood…looks pretty for Nene. I was trying to be nice-ish for a change
Nene looks like her contouring makeup was not blended properly, done right you don’t finish with a racing stripe down the length of your nose or obvious white streaks on your face. However I think her overall look is better than I’ve seen her possibly ever.
C’mon we ARE talking about Nene here. Think about season 1… Now scroll back up. She looks amazing!
Nene looks like she’s headed for work at the gas station, in a uniform that shrank in the wash. All she needs is “Moose” embroidered on her chest.
She’s still doing the knee pose. Did she break her leg, or something?
I think she’s doing her best Beyonce here. With the 3 pics and the knee pop.
Is she in a closet, a bathroom stall, or what? Very strange pics.
Is it the camera angle, her nose looks especially elongated. Did she have another nose job?
Oh my gawd! It just clicked for me. She’s doing her damnedest to try and look as much like KK as she possibly can. The nose gave it away.
I think she looks OK. She’s looked better. I hope this show flops :p
Oh no, Nene’s got toe! And she’s doing the mini-Knee Knee. I just can’t.
I lol’ed when I saw your comment! Looks like she’s down a “lite” version of the knee-knee in the pics.
Jumpsuits are just begging for Camel Toe.
“Mike, Mike, Mike……what day is it???
Nothing says quality high fashion like an elastic waist!
It’s made from “stretch polyester”! #Klazzy

Very 80s.
Early, early 80s. Like 1984 and before. She’s dressed like she could be in an episode of Murder She Wrote.
Stretch poly — the fabric of the rich bitch.
Maybe she bought it at Goodwill. Ooops, I mean a local vintage boutique.
She actually looks better than usual and she does look fit in her cheap jumpsuit.
I would bet my last dollar that she has on a full body under garment for control which helps give the appearance of being fit. Nene is not one for exercise.
If Nene got her butt done I will gag, lol. It looks a lot less lumpy and odd shaped. She looks like Kim Z dipped in caramel
She’s lost a lot of weight.

Adderall will make you lose weight, can spike irritability, will make it almost impossible for you to STFU, trigger a little mania, and maybe help with your ADHD…allegedly. Unfortunately, it has no positive effects on stupid.
Hmmm that is interesting information! 🙂 In this case I imagine it is something that makes you lose weight, gives you a feeling of euphoria and superiority and makes you not hungry and keeps alcohol from having an effect. Allegedly.
But if you partake in certain things, your nose will keep collapsing.

So…phentermine?
Isn’t that shit freely available over the counter over there?
I wish. You can buy it at foreign online drug stores but sometimes you get ground up chicken feet instead. I love the shit but I have a racy heart and had to stop taking it. I don’t lose weight but it makes me clean my house. I need to take it in order not to live in sloth. There has to be something similar.
Plus you don’t snort phentermine, silly.

When I watched her behavior during the pajama party I chalked it up to the Hollywood Diet. The weight loss combined with the number of nose procedures she’s had performed sort of confirmed it.
Nene should be careful. She has a propensity to throw blood clots.
I know!
If I thought my old body could take it, it would permanently snow in the ATL. Sadly, those days ended in the 80’s

I’ve never had any snow. My partner had a minor problem with that back in the day. I’m too chicken shit to try anything hardcore. Phentermine will do for me.
I did it once & didn’t like it. Now, I tried the other sniffable once & liked it so much I knew I could never do it again or I’d be in trouble. Invincible! >
Coke and phentermine both make my heart racy. I miss them both ever so.

Fxcking THANK YOU! and a great big Fxcking thank you to each reply to this post. I’m deadly afraid of booger sugar because of my childhood
BUT
I knows when someone AIN’T afraid, because of my childhood!
I’ve been thinking she was flying high since the pj party..
BeetsWhy, I hear ya! This outfit and color is just ugly, however; she does look like she’s lost weight.
She looks happy. I wish her success. When compared to the FNG, Meghan King Edmonds, NeNe is an example of charm personified.
Now, be honest. Before Meghan, did you ever think you’d feel that way about Nene? I didn’t.
Mehgan is the penultimate nasty housewife.
I’m going to hell for this, but Nene totally looks like Mr. Ed in the middle pic!
Hey Tamara, I love your blog and check it at least once a day.
What is with the autoplay ads with full sound? They are a really big turn off.
On topic: I don’t care if Neneis successful or not just so long as she stays off of RHOA. I am going to give the show another shot since she won’t be there with her toxic vibes.
Crazy, I think the videos with sound only happen on phones. I’m on a laptop and run Ad BLock Plus. It still shows me the adds but there is no sound. In fact when I want to listen to the sound I can’t always find away to turn the sound on.

I have the sound pop up on my iPad, but I expect it so I go ahead & turn the volume down.
TT, it happens on IPads too or at least on mine. I just keep my volume off when I come here.
Lol Jujue, you beat me to the punch. Didn’t see your post until I had posted mine. Great minds I guess.
They start up on my tablet, too, but shut off as soon as I scroll past them.
If you’re on a tablet/mobile I would recommend using Opera Mini and turn off images, which also turns off the autoplay videos.
It’s not a big deal to me. Easier just to scroll past it.
I have Adblocker Plus but it’s disabled on this site (I want you to get the ad $). The videos play without sound on my laptop…
The video and sound only recently started to play on my iPad. Never happened until the last two weeks. As soon as I scroll past it to the next paragraph it stops entirely. I have Adblock as well. When it first happened it actually startled me but I figured what the heck, maybe it helps TT that it plays.
I love this blog too. I just turn the sound off or scroll by the ad and it stops
Nene has slimmed down considerably…but there is something about the clothes, hair, and pose that remind me an awful lot of Porsha.
Was it Phaedra who said Porsha was a mini Nene, just with a longer face?
Look out Thotland! Here comes your new Queen!
Bravo should start a new sitcom. Starring Nene, Porsha and Phaedra. Working title: “Hot in Thotland” Marlo can play the Betty White character.
Sounds dangerous. Imagine if Porsha pulled her shenanigans on Marlo.
Exactly!
Porsha’s version would have her cheeks hanging out
I’m pretty sure that I owned this jumpsuit in the ’80’s.
I knew that jumpsuit looked familiar, I wore it too! With a big belt to hide the elastic lol. Happy 4th everyone!
I only have one arm……
I guess if you are the loudest, nastiest, self serving and disgusting person that keeps saying you are the best and no one else can touch you, some people will listen. I guess Nene has to make money though to pay for her utility bill in that big house she’s paying for. I don’t say she shouldn’t work but I thought Betty White would have better sense than to work with Nene. But you and I know Nene can be charming when she has to be. I wonder how long she can keep up with the charade. And yes her nose looks ginormous. Can you guess I’m not a Nene fan?
I predict, no one will watch this show.
Hi Anastasia- Beave, I predict you are RIGHT
I would bet my cranky tablet that her new beauty, cough, is due to adjustments by one of her Kim friend’s doctors. After all, she is, or was planning to, appear next to them in her many new starring roles. Most likely it is Kim Z’s as Kim K’s gives you a bigger ass, not smaller.
Everybody that is anybody seems to be doing it. This is another sign she has finally “arrived”, even without a sex tape, that we know of. Oh, what an ugly thought that is.
WOW nice!
I just threw up a little in my mouth
Nene looks like I did after going to Sona Bella in atl..I got a mini mom makeever and a lower body lift.I’m sure she could afford much better… Whatever she has done to her body.. She looks Great..this is the best I’ve ever seen her body. ..not hating at all..if I had a million dollar house..my body would be tight too.
Um, word is Nene’s weight loss is not surgical.

I don’t think it’s a jumpsuit. In the first picture you can see the imprint across her behind where the shirt is tucked inside the pants. Especially in pic #1.
Well, they should definitely stop calling it the Georgette Sleeve jumpsuit then. Because clearly you know more than the person who is selling it and wearing it, and the website, and the blogger who looked it all up.
Thanks for clearing that up for us. We’re are hallucinating the elastic waist band and everything!

All I can say about this is poor thing, and she has no friends because if she did, one of them would demand that she stop with the ridiculous blonde wigs .
WTH with the freaky hairline. It looks like someone used a hairline stencil (or straight ruler) and sprayed on some of that colored spray used to disguise a bald spot on the back of a man’s head.
All those times Nene guffawed and bad-mouthed Kim ZB pertaining to her looks…when she secretly lusted to wear her skin, don a blonde wig and be her. Creepy in soooo many ways.
Claudias’ reference to Nenes’ “edges” really make it look like they have been sprayed in. And the “nude” lipstick??? Someone should tell this woman that the same color nude that KZ or KK wears is NOT the same color nude lipstick she should wear. It does not compliment her look at all. Apparently her so called stylists just blow smoke up her a$$ everytime they let her loose with the bad contouring on her face and nose and wrong color lipstick, and apparently she can’t see how she looks for herself in a mirror.
If a white chick can be the head of the Seattle NAACP then Nene can be identifying as white, no?

She does look slimmer, but please god, someone tell her to stop wearing pink lipstick – it does not look good on her.
I love Betty White, but this show sounds about as interesting as watching paint dry. And Nene needs to stop messing with her face. She looks like a dollar store G.I. Jane doll up there.
Nene looks ok in that still picture. In real life her suit would be cheap looking and unflattering in movement.
I hope I can say this. As someone pointed out the jumpsuit is her fashion. Sold on a shopping channel on clearance for 25.99. When I saw I had to share..so funny and polyester…. Because NeNe lol
Omg! The HSN ad above is showing the jumpsuit noe I just can’t… Yeah I’m medicated. Sorry
I agree if I’m making a comparison from the way she looked Season 1 til now she looks a little better…more put together.
I can’t believe that ABC is insulting our Queen, Betty White, by pairing her up with a wound up Nene for a show. Whoever thought of this mess should be flogged! 🙁
Does anyone else find the timing of the filming of TTTT and her leaving RHOA suspicious? She had to have inked a deal with CBS before going into negotiations with Bravo. I wonder if she had permission from Bravo to work at CBS or if Nene felt she could just do as she wanted and weasel her way out of any ramifications. She may have screwed the pooch.
I wondered about that too. Someone said (which is not reliable so take it with a grain of salt) that Andy said on periscope that Nene left. If that information is true it is quite telling Andy has NEVER said one way or another why people are not returning. If he were to say that, then I suspect she didn’t follow the procedure with Bravo about working on other networks. They let her do Dancing With The Stars because she followed procedure and it brought publicity for RHOA. If she signed on to TTTT without telling them, she’s fucked.

I am the person who watched Andy on Periscope and heard him say ‘Nene has left the show.’ I watched it twice to make sure I heard him correctly. Unfortunately Periscope broadcasts disappear after 24 hours.
Thanks! Barbara. I didn’t remember who told me that. It was not me doubting you. It was me trying to remember where I had heard someone say that. 🙂

Now it’s possible that Andy may have misspoke or been a bit high at the time. Everything is open to conjecture.

Nene was never pretty, but was nicer-looking before her nose job. Now she looks like a real drag queen.
Just checked in on Nene’s site and noticed the panty lines on the jumpsuit pics. LOL. I don’t get the need to post that.
@tt if Nene is trying to identify as being white (maybe in her head) she’s got a little work to do, like maybe a visit to Michael Jacksons’ dermatologist for one. At least ol Rachel D. was a LITTLE believable (not much). Nene is trying to identify (imo) as a petite, dainty creature that wears the wrong color lipstick, does a lot of knee knee poses and hope no one can tell that’s what she’s doing.
So I’m just curious is Tamara has heard any gossip about whether or not Kim and Nene’s spinoff is still happening. When it was first announced I’m almost sure they said it would air this summer but then everyone else seems to think it was supposed to air this fall. With housewives starting to film in the next couple of weeks if Nene had signed on and was filming housewives wouldn’t the spinoff had already had to be filmed if it were going to air this fall or would she have dropped in and out of houswives while filming with Kim concurrently? I know a lot of other websites keep mentioning that although she’s left housewives she’s still working with Bravo on the spinoff but I’m going to guess that if she really refused to sign a contract at the last minute or tried to use that as a tool to get more money out of bravo they might just decide to be done with her altogether. I know Kim has been strangely silent about the spinoff lately and there were rumors she and Nene had fallen out again. Any thoughts?????
I doubt the spinoff will happen. It was not supposed to be this summer, Kim just finished filming the latest season of Don’t Be Tardy. I think Nene and Bravo are at odds and her show with Kim may end up as collateral damage. We shall see. I have not asked any sources about it.
