So the drama that is filming RHOA finally got underway. And there were several interesting yet conflicting stories about Nene Leakes.
Let’s start with Love B Scott’s report. According to their sources filming started two weeks ago and Nene is being forced to sit out of a few episodes as punishment for her violent behavior. There has only been a bit of independent filming.
As you know, Nene Leakes is not being punished for anything. She actually managed to renegotiate her contract to get an extension and a raise. That has never happened with any other RHOA. Ever. They are kissing her ass. At least at the Bravo level. Production has lost many employees over Nene Leakes. The showrunner was one of them. Again.
Nene Leakes Is Not Being Punished
Nene Leakes is not being forced to sit out of anything. She’s getting her ass kissed. Again.
Then “a rep for Nene” (probably the little “Maloof” sycophant) gave a statement on her behalf. I thought it was on People but I can’t find the story. The gist of it was that the Love B Scott report was completely untrue and that the reason Nene hasn’t been filming is because she was completing contract negotiations.
That is not true either. Her contract was signed, sealed and delivered on May 24th.
Other than some minor independent shoots, filming for RHOA proper didn’t start until the recent Women’s Expo in Atlanta last weekend. Kenya, Porsha, Cynthia and Marlo all had “keynote speeches.” Because the bizarre “Women’s Expo” exploitation doesn’t know what a “keynote speaker” is. Anyway…
Do You See The Problem Here?
So, Nene Leakes told the producers she will not film with Kenya, Porsha or Cynthia. It seems Marlo gets a pass for “upstaging her.” Nene is trying to produce herself. This is exactly what they hate about Kenya Moore. But, Nene Leakes has a Bravo suit that kisses her ass.
So my sources say that as of now they will be shooting Nene independently. The will either add her into to the episode or give her a spin-off. (GRRRRR!!!!) to meet the required number of episodes for her contract.
However, they have Joye Chin and two “housewives whisperers” on hand this season to try to keep Nene and Kenya from going off the rails. And they have just filmed one event where the housewives were together. Maybe one of the housewives whisperers can tame Nene. We shall see.
But I promise you that Nene Leakes is not being punished for a damn thing. She’s calling the shots. Unfortunately.
LVP the runaway bunny. Ms Leakes the moose on the loose. Bravo fire these unbearable creatures. Plenty of fame whores, future felons & nouveau riche sock puppets to perform on command! Or go the opposite direction & get more infamous & open talent like Denise Richards. Please, with sugar on top ?
I love EVERY FUCKING WORD of this!
This. Exactly! It’s so refreshing to have someone like Denise Richards on a housewives show. I have to admit I didn’t think I was going to like her but she won me over with how down to earth and real she is. Which makes me dislike Nene and LVP all that much more.
I love ever freakn’ word Marc said. Have not watched RHOA for 2 seasons because of the amazon on the loose and will not watch the next. Only come her for TT’s excellent review to
see what I haven’t missed.
Ugh why?!?!?!? What is it about Nene the Bravo suit likes? I really don’t get it at all.
I agree 100 Laura! Nene is horrendous and that’s putting it nicely.
I bet she has a video of a bravo suit getting a BJ from herself. She is certainly not kept there because of talent.
I do not watch because of Meme. She is a disgusting human being and makes all women look ratchet. Which i am beginning to wonder if that is the real agenda of Bravo
I’ve resisted watching RH Atlanta for eons. But you are making it very hard for me to stay the recap-only course. Have pity on this poor Mama and stop making this all sound so desperately delicious. I just don’t have that kind of time…
It’s not worth your precious time, darling. It’s misogyny from every angle. If it wasn’t the lifeblood of this site, I wouldn’t be watching. But it’s my hometown. I know too much not to share and watch and recap the trainwreck and contrast it to the truth.
Hallelujiah, you’ve saved me. Again.
Nene is always trying to get Tamar on the Real Housewives she needs to stop cuz those two together two idiots on the same show it ain’t going to happen it ain’t going to work chance Encounters of them together getting along okay but on the show on a regular basis if you can’t get along with her sister she damn sure don’t get along with meaning
Tamar would have Meme for lunch.
I may actually start watching the show to witness that.
As usual TT is serving the piping hot tea but this cup is rancid. I can’t STAND Nene.
I wish I had sweeter tea. Unfortunately, I have to report the facts.
Why do y’all hate Nene but Posha has done some unmentioned things but you all has forgiven her. You people get on my dam nerves being two faces. Nene bring excitement to the show and some of the other ladies are boring like Cythnia and bring back Phareda Parks.
Your opinion is kind of what ruins the show, Justin Black. I am just saying. We have gone after Porsha many times. But you are going to get what you want this season. The big wigs agree with you. Nene is just great. So congrats! You will love this season.
Did you even watch last season? I’m just curious.
I was just going to ask if Nene still has fans. Guess I’ll go look in the mirror for my two faces instead.
Actual Nene fans…
This may be my favorite post ever.
https://tamaratattles.com/2012/03/03/whats-wrong-with-this-picture-nene-fans-in-charlotte-version/
Too funny!
Best post ever! Hahahahaha
Anyone that comes here and supports the moose is Nene or a member of her family that she
provides for. SO Justin……..are you Nene, Greg or son? Seriously who wants to watch Nene?
So crazy to think that punishment would be to sit out a few episodes. This is not a sports team that has a commissioner who punishes the players.
Well Porsha did get “demoted” at least for effect after DRAGGING KENYA BY THE HAIR ACROSS THE STAGE. And now she is the HBIC. So even when they punish, they don’t really punish.
Oh yeah, I quickly my old brain forgets.
At this point I would honestly give Nene the LVP treatment if I was the women. In her wide back football player built brain, she truly believes she’s the Oprah Winfrey of reality tv. The women need to stop letting her run all over them and BOSS up and give her behind the business just as she does them. Next season may draw in some viewers with Kenya and her family and the Porsha and Dennis drama but don’t nobody wanna see the same ol shit with Nene as we do with every season she’s on. Bravo does realize that we actually liked when she was off the show and still Watched. Does the producers that are quitting not bother Bravo? What happens when you can’t get people to film the show because they don’t wanna deal with Nene? Those people are trying to make a living and away from their families and have to go home at night banged up or end up in the hospital all because of filming in a damn closet or anywhere else and get hurt by the women their filming. Like I said before the other cities have it’s fair share of Drama but Atlanta takes the cake with the down right gutter, gritty and demonic behavior they let some of these women get away with. Atlanta will Never have a Kyle Richards, Denise Richards, Lisa Rinna or any A-List on their franchise until they get things right with this particular city. Hell at this point I’d rather Sheree, Claudia, Kim fields or Lisa Wu back over Nene.
“What happens when you can’t get people to film the show because they don’t wanna deal with Nene? ” The upcoming season.
It will be a shit show. I could be either and epic shit show, or just a shit show.
Maybe Nene needs to check her ego. I’m sure Lisa Vanderpump thought she had friends in high places that would her allow herself to dictate who she would film with…and that didn’t work out to good for her.
Oh please there is no comparison to Nene to LVP… Heck at least LVP can speak a full sentence. Oh and BTW LVP is actually rich.
Bravo has gone down ratings hell road with their 1st separation from Nene. That’s the last road they’re looking to travel again anytime soon. #YallOnTheWrongTeam #CantWinWhenYouPlayDirty #TrumpChecks #SWAGG
I mean, sadly, I think you are in the majority of people according to Bravo focus groups. She makes her husband’s cancer all about herself, she attacks production and two cast members, she a cunt. And you love it.You’re winning. So we are over here on “the wrong team” expressing our opinions. Perhaps this is not the site for you.
There has to be a site that LOVES Nene somewhere, right? RIGHT?
I’m on the wrong team. I can’t stand the over paid bitch! I will read your recaps, but will probably sit the next season out. Nene’s narcissistic “Gregg can’t do for me cause he’s got cancer” shit is as disgusting as Vicki’s cancer scam on RHOC.
Im happy for Gregg though because he seems like a likeable man and has had a tough time batteling cancer. The thought occoured to me that this win for Nene is also a win for Gregg, since theyre a married couple. Its more positive vibes for him along with his cancer remission and maybe shell be kinder to him.
Nene, who thinks she is some kind of Hollywood royalty, Haha! She ruins most shows that she is on, with the perturbed, “you people are Sooo below me” look on her face all the time. I can’t wait until she’s completely off of any TV shows. Shouldn’t be long now since she only has those one or two people in power who thinks she’s something.
SWAGG, Haha! I zoomed-in on a pair of flip-flops that she had in one of her hotel lobby stall “stores”. I bought the same exact pair at Payless ShoeSource for $20. She sells hers in her hotel lobby store for $60. Wonder what shoes she’s going to sell now that Payless is closing?
What is the “maloof” sycophant?
The guy she took to the wedding is a guy who calls himself Brandon Maloof. He was a HUGE Adrienne Maloof fan. And apparently changed his name to that according to one of my sources. Then he latched on to Nene’s teat and has become her “representative.” He made it on to the episode I think last season when Gregg was not doing well in Miami and Nene could have cared less (shut it grammar nazi’s it’s an expression) He’s a superfan that has managed to convince her he is somebody. He is not.
Hopefully the name of my next novel. Or my next band. Or my next yacht. Or someone’s!
Who is she blowing at Bravo/Universal? To borrow RHONY Alex’s line…”She is a thug in a cocktail dress.”
I actually cannot watch this show because of Nene. She ruins it for me. Bravo leadership is just not smart.
Alas, I will miss viewing any potential scenes with Kenya’s adorable daughter, as I simply cannot bear to see Nene rewarded for such thug behavior. It will not make the timer list on my dvr this season.
I shall stalk TT’s recaps for my entertainment, and if it appears that shit is heading south for Nene, well then I may have to take a peek to watch karma in action.
I wish they would just gather together and agree to refuse to film with NeNe! Cut the poison out, please! I’m sick of her stank ass attitude.
Just shaking my head, I do not understand at all. Won’t be back for ATL and I was looking forward to Kenya 2.0…I’ll just be reading your recaps and commenters TT.
Waaaaay back when Paris Hilton was the IT GIRL, she and Nicole Richie were having a feud during the filming of the penultimate season of The Simple Life. Their scenes were shot separately. What happened is that it soon became very apparent that Nicole was the one dreaming up all of the funny stuff. She was the real star, and not the Paris tagalong. This season of RHBH has been the best without THE LVP making everything not fun.
I hope the same will happen with RHOA. I could not watch Porsha’s ever-more-ghetto self on her spinoff, and I plan not to watch this season of ATL. I will read the recaps and then MAYBE watch On Demand, if the episode goes bad for NeNe. I hope NeNe gets her Henry Higgins moment of comeuppance. I REALLY hope the numbers are down so low that Frankenstein and The Frankenstein Monster (aka Moose On the Loose — love that Marc) BOTH get canned.
I really don’t understand why you all don’t get why Nene continues to reign. Look at how many comments she’s bringing on this hate-filled thread. Love her or hate her… she’s good TV. Nene is a spoiled brat that has been the pinaccle of this franchise. It works. Y’all’s girl Kenya is too hated (outside of this site)…her manipulative ways continue to work against her. The rest…they need Nene.
Nene is going to burn out one day and soon, take a ton of bridges with her, but not yet… she’s still good TV.
Tamara-over half the comments here respond to your recaps. Most either are not watching and/or can’t stand Nene or Porsha. Maybe Bravo needs to read more carefully. The days of enjoying watching extremely dumb, low morals, classless women who make women of color a joke have long last evaporated. It’s embarrassing and racist. Why isn’t Bravo being called out? Hey, Oprah? Are you watching this mess?
The trash on this show stinks to the high heavens. Like Kandi but that’s it. Kenya would be interesting to watch as a mother but certainly not Porsha-I pity her child. Nene has been disgusting from the beginning. The fact that Bravo is paying her all that money to behave like this-well, what does that say about Bravo? Nene and Porsha. Really classy, Bravo. Maybe someone will be watching. Not me. Your recaps are amusing.
Thank you TT…I kept refreshing your site all day waiting for an update aka the truth.
#cancelNene
I don’t think I can watch an RHOA season unless NeNe just is filmed 1-2 minutes standing in her precious closet all along picking out an outfit to go nowhere because no one else wants to be around her. Thanks f or the piping hot tea!!!
Different strokes for different folks. Let’s not 4get the sh_t that Cynthia & the other bimbo pulled by lying & got caught on a hot mic. It wasn’t so much that she invited Kenya to her party but she lied. They disrespect her in her own home, her husband has a terminal Dx, the woman is his sole caregiver, she runs a business! Of course she lost her sh_t! I didn’t see 1 person say, “KNOCK IT OFF “! I’m just a clinician with 44 yrs of experience & in my humble opinion I see a woman with, “Caregivers Syndrome “! Just saying. This is a real thing. I’m not defending her stricking at the camera man. I believe she was trying to get the gals out however, she was pissed & he was in the way! I feel we are being a little harsh that’s all!
Oh, Nancy…. Honey… have you ever read this site and the information TT gives us?
I think in this specific instance you need to replace “Caregivers syndrome” with “Narcissist”.
We’re all entitled to an opinion! What we’re not entitled to is talk down to each other, “Honey”! As far as narcissist, well based on ur response u shud know! Have a good day & point ur ignorance at someone else! Peace! ✌
#hinene
Nene was being her usual self – narcissistic. She was hardly taking care of Greg. She seemed to be solely concerned with how Greg’s illness was inconveniencing her.
Trust, we would’ve seen every minute of her “caregiver” duties if she did any. I have no respect for someone that treats another human being like that during their most vulnerable time. There was NO care, and certainly NO giving about it. So over her stank selfish attitude. Shame on you Bravo for rewarding such vile behavior!
Kandi was just in Asia with Riley and now the whole Burruss Tucker family have gone on vacay. I wonder if this is going to be filmed. Nice she’s getting quality time in with the older kids before the baby(ies) arrive.
Bravo are silly. Stop giving nene everything she wants. She’s vile.
TT, why don’t you have a YouTube channel too? You always have such great tea. You could maintain your privacy by only doing voice overs.
I’m burning out on this site as it is. It’s a shit ton of work. But I’m flattered that you would like more.:).
You could use puppets. Scary puppets … Think of a NeNe puppet… Talking Banjo. And no typing… it might be easier.
I still watched when NeNe was not on for a few seasons. I thought the ratings were ok then. Am I wrong? This upcoming season may be the very first Atlanta that I don’t watch. I just can’t reward NeNe with ratings. Nor can I stand to watch her anymore. Can’t stand Porsha either. Love me some Kandi though! Glad Kenya is back. Bring back Claudia and Sheree.
Lmaoooooooo I was waiting for this post….lmaoooooo
TT how are the ladies handling NeNe and reacting to Kenya’s return? Hopefully the ladies don’t appease NeNe and give as good as they get.
Yes all hail Queen Nene!!! Your whack faves could never LMAO *coughs* Kenya! Anywho bow down bitches! That’s why Nene always said to those stupid girls “you’re trying to play chess when you’ve actually playing checkers” Bloop, bloop
So I think LVP, Nene, Vicki, and Luann all need to be on a show together, each thinking they’re the HBIC, trying to out manipulate/beat each other up. Then I’d have the peace of knowing I can watch all of the franchises without wanting to puke or throw my glass at the tv.
I agree. A Death Match. Tag teams. Wearing blinged out satin wrestling outfits. And Loubatins. Knock off Loubatins. I would rather see Ramona go down than Vicki.
yesssss. I would totally throw Ramona in there but I was trying to take one from each franchise but I forgot RHONJ! Who are we throwing in from Jersey!?!
Whats going on with Porsha and Dennis? Seems like trouble.
