I’ve been meaning to write this post about Nene Leakes for a long time. You remember Nene Leakes, she used to be on that show, Real Housewives of Atlanta. She liked to tell everyone how rich she is. Maybe she actually believed that she was. But the IRS is coming after her for $824,366 in unpaid taxes in 2014. The state of California is also looking for their state taxes from 2014. Nene owes that state $86,624. The state of Georgia would like 95,232.93.
I’m guessing that Nene Leakes is wishing she would have taken the contract Bravo asked her to take for season nine rather than losing in a game of chicken with them. Her little comedy shows are probably fun. But I did see a video of her cursing out someone in the audience who called her a Porsha hater. And I do mean cursing. She punctuated each sentence, not with a period, but with the word bitch. I don’t think she is making enough money to heat her giant house on the comedy gigs.
So what is a girl gonna do?
Nene Leakes has joined a get rich quick scheme. She’s also got Gregg, Brice and even Brentt mixed up in it as well. It looks like Nene Leakes is returning to her scamming roots. Nene has been hooked in by Stormy Wellington who has been very successful at a multi-level marketing business (MLM). MLM’s are a lot like Ponzi/pyramid schemes. Except the latter is illegal. The primary difference between an MLM and a pyramid scheme is that the MLM must sell an actual product. In Nene’s case the products are weight loss tea, sexual enhancement pills, and special vitamins. Maybe the special vitamins that Sonja takes. Kidding. Sort of.
When you join a MLM your real mission is to sign up other people in the MLM. Everyone you get to join generates more commission for you. You also have to pay to join. Then you become an “individual business operator.” Most intelligent people know to avoid these types of things. Nene is convinced it is going to make her rich. I do think it is possible for Nene to make money at this if she can get all her fans and a bunch of assorted other fools to sign up under her. Stormy is a genius for pulling Nene in. Nene’s fanbase is the exact kind of population that these MLMs thrive on. The chance that Stormy is actually sitting at home mailing out sexual enhancement drugs to the masses in very slim. Stormy just sits around waiting for her checks to roll in. Depending on how many people Nene can convince to buy into the program, she could actually generate some income. In my opinion, for the average person, they are so low down on the pyramid, there is not a lot of opportunity for commission. If you have become wildly successful and make millions from a MLM I’ll be happy to hear your story of success.
What motivated me to finally write about this today is that Nene went to Haiti to have one of her little cocktails parties where everyone gets lubed up and worked up into a frenzy by speakers who sound like evangelist preachers assuring them that God wants them all to be millionaires. Then they are asked to write a check to get in on the deal. See for me, that is a deal breaker. Anytime you have to pay someone else to make a lot of money later… that is a red flag.
When I went to pull photos for this story I noticed that Nene is deleting all of her ads for these little “Cocktails and Conversations with Nene” after the event. Is she embarrassed? She certainly doesn’t mention that the reason she is in Haiti is to get hard working Haitians to part with their money. I wonder why?
Oh my God, leave the poor Haitian’s alone. Of all the places to go grift. I am sure that total loser son Bryson is a real asset, NOT. Good lawd please have several seats NeNe.
This is sad on a lot of levels.
She’s depserate for them coins, baby! Someone’s got a big fat mortgage to pay!
Bragging about wealth is never a good look and on her it was downright UGLY. Maybe she can get in on cashing another Trump check! I’m sure he’ll take her call as a minority outreach gesture 😉😈
This just confirms that NeNe is a bag of hot air. She has been brilliant in taking what is not a very attractive package (her) and marketing it based on her over-the-top, self-promoting, argumentative self. Being on RHOA and, as mouthy as she was, was the perfect stage for her, but she would have been nowhere without it. Since then, she’s been somewhat successful promoting that same persona on the stage, but it won’t last forever. Owing that kind of money in taxes is proof of how important it is to her to keep up appearances on the surface, but it always catches up with you in the end. Hope no Haitians part with any money – that poor country has conditions for many which are barely higher than living in a trash dump as it is. Didn’t like her before and like her even less now.
AMEN!!!!! The Moose is a 🔥🔥🔥 Ass Mess
You told the truth!!!
Looks like the “pole” is in her future. Kim Z filming on anniversary not a good sign either.
lol…, TT you are hilarious….
When I was young, restless and foolish, i got duped by those MLM craziness.
Just always keeping it classy that Nene,
For an old stripper. Imagine schemes like these are popular with the former adult entertainment workers that did not save their coins. She will need to work really hard though to pay $1,000,000+ & current living expenses.
Why doesn’t she do something decent, like open a restaurant or something.
Or start a non profit. The CEOs of a lot of non profits pay themselves shit loads of money. I mean SHIT LOADS!!! That way she could repair her miserable image as a “rich bitch”, and perhaps even help some people to boot with scholarships or what have you. Oh the ignorance of her!
Minky, “charity” and “non-profit” can be the biggest scams! Stealing hair and cashing checks.
Exactly girl! If Nene’s already got it in her to be shady, then she needs to go hard or go home. Be shady like a mutherfucker, be shady like a BOSS! Not this rooty-poop nonsense.
My point, which I totally could have articulated better, is that Nene is shady, but not too bright. If her goal is to earn enough coins so she can get out of the red with her taxes, while giving her career a boost, then this is not the way to do that.
Just look at Phaedra’s fuckery with that “Save Our Sons” foundation. I wonder how much she’s paying herself there? I wonder if she’s bold enough to declare her salary from the foundation on her 990 form, which is a mandatory tax form that all non profits have to fill out. And most non profits’ 990 forms are available for perusal on the innanet. Just sayin’.
Save our Sons? If not caught, would Phaedra and Apollo Nida have ever stopped swindling old folks out their social security checks on fake car loans? You and your man stole their coins and identities so your sons’ father could make it rain on old strippers with one leg. Your charity should be called Save our Strippers.
Tenement her line, “you never win when you play dirty”? Well she must have a backyard full of Sherees dirt because this is on par with Vickis cancer bracelets. Yuck
She better start making some payment arrangements or she is going to join the likes of Abby Lee and Wesley Snipes as tax evaders who go to the big house. If Abby has to go that is. My friend recently asked me to go to a makeover party with her. When I got there the only makeover I got was some eye cream that did actually plump up my wrinkles around my eyes but long story short, it was the same thing . They are now bugging me to death to buy a $569 kit and sell to others or get them to join. Not happening.
I was working the Women’s Expo in San Diego a few months back. Nene and Shannon Beadore were the Keynote speakers. Shannon graciously stood in the food court and took FREE photos with her fans while NeNe had a booth selling t shirts and selling a photo with her behind a black curtain. Real classy!
She sounds broke.
Right on about her whole fabricated image. It will tarnish soon because NeNe is almost not even a real person anymore with nothing that really matters in her life.
#Get a new stylist
#You are no ballerina
I don’t know what Nene would do in prison. She can’t run away in there.
Now whose thirst is real?
NeNe trying to be the bootleg Bernie Madoff.
Yeah. That’s obviously the next logical step. She’s already trying to be a bootleg Trump by not paying taxes. Ba-dum-tss! Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen! I’ll be here all week.
Tjis just screams desperation
This,,,I cannot type tonight
She will go to prison, ummm camp, lose weight on the fab nutrition program and take long walks while also learning prison yogi. Then get released, hopefully hire a decent ghost writer, sell some books get back on felons by Bravo and be better than ever.
Such is cycle of life w a bravo personality
Now what will her be on- maybe how to make delicious meals from comisary items ?
I just heard an interview with Tamra of OC. She is doing one of these pyramid deals with a line of protein mixes, vitamins. She even used the word pyramid I believe. She sells the product out of her gym, but she said “studio.” Oy Vey, these women are a piece of work.
Lolita: Lots of gyms have a storefront where they sell protein powder, nutritional supplements and clothes. Plus, Tamra is now a professional exerciser.
nene and gregg are such losers.
Ya know…If Brent was a young woman instead of a young man, Nene would have him up on a pole. Hmmm…she might still do that. There are male strip clubs in Atlanta, right? Like mamma, like son…
Speaking of sons, Brice is the splitting image of Nene pre surgery. Put a blonde wig on him and it would be hard to tell those two apart.
Nothing surprises me ! B/C. She seems to live beyond her means , and Now she has to pay the IRS all that money back , just like Teresa from h w of new Jersey . Telling folks
I s. A rich bitch , liike who said that ? The rich don’t talk about that their more about it
Thinking karma is coming back ,to bite that ass of hers, I have never liked her , she has a big mouth and she’s straight rude on every level , her clothes she sells are high as a cats ass
Nice tho but so not affordable , hail I can go Macy’s and get a better deal than her prices
Not supporting any thing she does , to go to Hatti with b.s. schemes is a all time high ripping them poor folks off is degusting , I don’t even see her as some actress , but just
Some Joe smoe. with a really big mouth that ain’t cute !
Well actually I think going out o jail is probably going to guarantee her a contract.
Lol i saw the photos. Lol They were not having it. She was meeting with already established business people and from what I heard she was condescending.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I have SO much to say about this. But I won’t.
I’ll just stay up here in my tree, sipping lemonade and eating cupcakes. 🙂
Cat, may I sit with you?
Absolutely.
Definitely a sign that she ain’t got no money or job offers. Her stock has certainly gone down. She’s a perfect example of How Not to Succeed.
WTF is she doing on FASHION POLICE? She has NO STYLE!
Anything for a paycheck.
Fashion police…is it still on?
Cutting off the nose that continues to grow back. Andy has the last laugh. The medicine show rolls on, nobody buying what’s for sale.
This is hysterically funny + pathetic.
Between the focus on her son’s face, the gmail address, and the laxative tea……I just can’t decide on where to focus my laughter.
There is a post about her trip on Bravo that makes it seem like she is there to volunteer with the hurricane clean up, or do a comedy show or something. It’s just amazing.
Very sad but we can’t all pretend we didn’t see this coming…
Didn’t someone on Married to Medicine accuse Lisa Nicole’s business of being an MLM?
Half of the people on this post work a typical 9-5 that they hate! Stormy Wellington has made 2 million in a “legal” industry, and NeNe has decided to partner with her….uhmp sounds smart to me. At least they are living their dreams, and not sitting at home regretting their entire life.😘 I think I want to join one of those Pyramid schemes where the people at the top make the most money…wait that sounds like I’ll being working a 9-5 and my boss will be making all of the money
You guys should go read some books by Robert Kiyosaki and Napoleon Hill
Best of luck on your financial endeavors.
