Has Another Friends Contract Been Reinstated Between Nene and Cynthia?

November 1, 2015 by tamaratattles 47 Comments

RHOA Cynthia friend contract

Actually, I’m hearing that Nene was humbled after a season trying to make it on her own. In that time, she ate dinner on a reality show or two, did six episodes of To Tell The Truth  that have yet to air  did two guest appearances on Fashion Police, and turned up here and there on tabloid TV shows. None of those pay well and the latter doesn’t pay at all. In fact all of those appearances are things one does to increase publicity for whatever primary employment one has.

She has also allegedly tried to get a grant from the government to start a shop in Atlantic City that seems to have gone no where,  said she was going to hold empowerment luncheons for women that don’t seem to have happened, claimed she was going on a speaking tour like AC Squared, which never panned out,  design furniture, and plenty of other things I can’t recall, none of which came to fruition. Oh and she diva(ed) her way out of a spin-off with Kim Biermann when she was the one who really needed the gig.

So with a giant empty house and a big mortgage and a dwindling shoe allowance,  she made the first conciliatory move to mend her relationship with Bravo and asked to guest on one of the final episodes. She managed to get a day rate for at least two episodes of this season after two weeks of phone calls with the casting person, and is fully expected to regain her peach next season.

RHOA Nene and Cynthia

Check out the above photo Nene just posted on her Instagram. She is really attempting to make up with Cynthia and Kenya it would seem. She hasn’t posted any pictures in ages of anything but her ratchet fans in those ratchet T-shirts.

Before you all start with the declarations of refusing to watch next season, I should tell you that my sources indicate we might be getting “humble Nene” next season. Now before you laugh, Nene is in process of another short stint on Broadway and is already training with vocal coaches and acting coaches to prepare for her debut next month. Broadway is excruciatingly difficult with very taxing schedules of generally eight shows a week.  While Nene has already proved she has the stamina to do it, the pay is in the accomplishment and not in the almighty dollar that Nene has become accustomed to. Personal achievement and self-esteem do not pay the mortgage. And so it seems, Nene has had an epiphany and is willing to do what it takes to get that Bravo check again. Even if it means, making up with Carlos King, and Cynthia, and Kenya, and Andy, and the Bravo execs, and the crew and whoever has the potential for a peach next season. No more diva behavior, no more unreasonable salary demands.

She will be back next season if she can pull this off.  

 

RHOA NENE never friends

So now the question becomes, “Can she maintain this newly manufactured personality? Or will she revert to her diva behaviors once the contract for next year is signed?” I’d be willing to reconsider my position on Nene if we got the one we see weeping on the Broadway stage humbled and grateful for her good fortune. But I’m not counting on it.

Thoughts?

    I can’t understand why so me people are so willing and so quick to crawl up Nene’s A**. Every person that accepts Nene’s new and improved edition will be sitting with jaws dropped at some reunion or while reading some interview as she annihilates each of them for succumbing to her greatness. I am so disgusted in how all this has played and is playing out.

      I used to just love Nene, and the last time I really liked her was Kenya’s first season. She wasn’t feeling threatened by Kenya at that time as she had “The New Normal” and a bunch of other things going on. But after that it all went to her head and she became completely unbearable. You know, I’m open to a humbled Nene.

      I feel the same way. However, I don’t think the new fake Nene will last very long. The good news is that Bravo probably won’t show her “relapse into the real Nene” moments. By the way, I hate that silly sounding-fake voice she uses when she’s around certain people.

    TT, you are good woman.
    I thought of making the declaration of not watching but I’ve seen how that does not work out well in here.

    I stopped watching 2 + years ago. I caught a few Claudia smack downs in reruns but that was it.

    I became sick and tired of the middle school gutter fighting. I honestly did.
    You do know a few of these women barely speak English? One of them is a complete moron.

    I enjoyed Claudia but that is it. She is gone, me too.

      I second that. If Nene has done nothing else, she’s proven that she can’t be trusted. Maya Angelou said/wrote this, and I believe it’s true: “When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.” Words to live by.

        Truer words were never spoken, Minky. Past behavior is the best preciction of future behavior and this does not just apply to Nene, but in most of life situations. If you are paying attention you will refuse to accommodate the new old behavior because.a sucker is born every minute. If you are not paying attention, you will eventually say you wish you had. A leapord don’t change her/his spots.

    I loved Nene her first season but after last season, her head has gotten way too big and her attitude or awful. I can honestly say I stopped watching this franchise last year after the big fight involving Brandon and Apollo. I’m done.

    I LOVED Nene first and second season. She seemed to give everyone a fair chance and she got along well with women who were prettier than her. Then she became really jealous of the other girls. I do want Nene back because I want to see her interact with She by Sheree. I love watching them spar!! I hope they give Marlo a peach too bc Marlo is only person of whom Nene is legitimately afraid. Marlo is insane and uncontrollable. Nenes tough act is an truly an act whereas Marlo’s is real. I hope Nene comes back like the cool, cock-eyed chick she was at one time. I remember when she saw her biological Father on the street and she was more concerned with the fact that he had on old clothes and “look amess” as she described him rather than the fact that she was meeting her Dad for the first time. I was sickened by her attitude and never looked at her the same aftee that. That man was the SPITTING IMAGE of Nene and her son Bryson btw.

    Omg. Say it ain’t so. How disappointing if IT comes back with a bag of bofoonery tricks, ghetto slang, fingers popping bossing those thirsty gullible girls around. Never knew someone who could burn a bridge then walk back up it again with the grinch look and BRAVO fall for it and give her a check for it. Where’s the ‘back-bone’ department?

I loved Nene in the beginning. Everyone deserves another shot at it. We all was t forgiveness if we do wrong, don’t we? Why shouldn’t she be afforded that same right. Cmon Back Nene!

      Wake up, Jennie! Nene will always be jealous, catty, and hateful unless she gets exorcised or “saved” as we say in the South. I realize we’re talking reality tv. However, it’s still obvious to me that what we see is really who Nene is: an evil, jealous, insecure, miserable, Amazon woman with demons way down deep and illusions of grandeur. Even back when she was funny, her fun was usually at someone else’s expense, e.g., mocking people’s hurt feelings, being rude and insensitive, making fun of people (like laughing at Dwight’s nose which came back on her tenfold), publicly embarrassing people (like telling Kenya in front of all the other ladies that she and Walter didn’t seem like a couple). She’s that way even with her so-called friends., e.g. entering a restaurant to meet Porsha and telling a waiter she was looking for a woman with “a lot of weave” instead of just saying ” a woman with long hair”; referring to Kim as “Wig” as if she needed to let the world know that Kim’s nice-looking hair wasn’t her own. Or, how about the time she accepted Cynthia’s friendship contract and then made fun of the contract behind Cynthia’s back with Kim. As for Nene looking “beautiful”—interesting perspective. I can’t get past her nasty personality and botched nose job(s). I do think the other women frequently look beautiful–all of them.

    Nene is a loud mouth bore. Seriously. There is nothing interesting about her and her efforts to stir up nonsense to remain central to “the plot” serves only as an object lesson to all who happen to have the TV within earshot. Let’s move on. New people. New stories. Giving us all chance to watch more interesting and compelling RHOA episodes. Let’s all move on. Bravo – I know you are listening. Change is good. Let’s make a change.

    If this recently completed filming season is a success, they should not consider bringing her back. I did not think she was a nice person early on, and she only got worse every year. A leopard doesn’t change it’s spots. I don’t think she is capable of actual humility, unless you are maybe Michelle Obama. A lot of therapy would have to be done on Nene’s damaged psyche before she has normal feelings towards others.

    I never saw the first few seasons so don’t know the “old” Nene that I hear about. There was one season she was working in LA some and the other girls went to see her. Everyone was about 3 hours late coming to her house for a party and she wouldn’t let them in. I understood her point and for most of that season actually liked her. Looking back on it now I think it was because things were going her way. She may come back humbled and that in itself will be a thing of beauty but don’t think it will last. She just can’t keep it together.

    BTW….I want them to get rid of Phaedra just as much as I don’t want NENE back. If those two weren’t bad enough, now they go and throw Sheree in the mix. Tell me, how does Bravo expect us to keep watching a show full of undesirable people? I actually think Phaedra is more disliked by myself than anybody. I can’t find one single good thing to say about that woman. Not only do I want her off my TV set, but her ass needs to do time for all of her criminal behavior. If we looked up the word THIEF in Webster’s dictionary, it should show pics of Phaedra, Apollo, Teresa and Joe. Bravo should be ashamed of themselves for putting more money in the pockets of common thieves/criminals.

    Like someone else said I believe Nene thought the girls wouldn’t complete a full season without her and even though she’ll be on 1 or 2 episodes the wives and upcoming episodes are already set in stone. I’m not gonna bash Nene in this post or her inconsistency in her personality, I’m excited for the new season and can’t wait to see my girls Kenya, Cynthia, Kim, Sheree and Amiyah.

    If Nene returns, acting like she has some sense (that is, not necessarily a saint, but just an open-minded, civil, and fun person to be around and watch) then I’d be cool with that. I was never her fan after rewinding to watch the first seasons I missed since I didn’t get started on the show until later, but when I saw that she was pretty much the common denominator for a lot of the chaos, I thought much less of her. Not that any of these women are ideal role models, but I missed the fun times they seemed to have in the past. RHOA needs to return to love and light.

    Interesting tea. I have no opinion on the return of Nene as long as the show air and is interesting. I would love to see Marlo come back as a FOH or with a peach. She is so deserving of a being a regular because it is always interesing when she’s around and seems people like Marlo. Glad to see Sheree’s back and hope this season will be one of the best. We’ll see what happens without Nene around the dynamics of the ladies and who’s in what circle if they have their girl circles now. Thanks for the tea Tamara it was tasty and real hot. Happy RHOA season can’t wait to check it out. Good day Tamara.

    NeNe revealed her true personality very early on. It was when she drunkenly sang the mean spirited song about Kim and Dallas Austin in the back of the limo. Hilarious? Yes. But uncalled for and jealousy based mean. Such a shitty friend and person. (And I’ve never liked Kim, lol)
