Nene Leakes Is Having A Meltdown

September 29, 2020 by tamaratattles 42 Comments

Nene LeakesLook I have meltdowns multiple times a day lately. (perhaps you saw my recent meltdown about being unable to find the ham) so I certainly can’t judge. And I too bring these situations on myself. I’m at wits end. I am not holding up well at all. I get it. But it’s my job to report on other people who are not dealing well and today that is Nene Leakes.

She finally realizes that Bravo is not going to play with her anymore. So she is burning any bridges that may have been there. She’s calling out Andy Cohen for being a cokehead and Bravo for being racist. I should point out that she was the highest paid housewife on Bravo PERIODT. So the whole racist thing is not going to fly. Also this kind of behavior will lose her any other jobs she may have had. Her problem is not being black.  Her problem is being a liability. She attacked a cameraman. She threatens people all the time. She left a million dollars on the table thinking she could get a show anywhere else. She totally sank her own ship.

 

 

Nene made more per episode than ANY HOUSEWIFE EVER. She just got too big for her britches. And all during negotiations she threatened to sue them for being racist. I don’t see her ever being allowed back after this. Especially trying to compare herself to BreonnaTaylor…

She’s imploding.

    Just to be clear, I believe she was referring to Wendy as the Come Head & Andy as the racist.

      Yeah, you are probably right but since Andy has been accused of being a coke head in the past, I assumed she was just being more demeaning by not using the proper pronouns. I vaguely remember watching that WWHL show… Wendy did say that she didn’t think Nene had anything interesting to do on a spin off. I totally agree with Wendy. But if I where friendly with her I would not have said such a thing.

      Andy had nothing to do with Nene not being renewed. She has to know this. So this only makes her look worse. She just keeps making sure there is no way for her to return. And I’m not going to lie, She has been the most overpaid person ever. I want her to work a Popeyes Drive thru.

    If she cared about their racism she would have addressed it prior to losing the money and power. I felt like she treated Andy like a spoiled child who didn’t know what it was like to live in her real world, so her accusations about him aren’t that surprising. Again, exit interviews are always met with the right amount of skepticism.

    She’s coming across like a has been train wreck. Bloop! We all want a reset button on our lives right now, this doesn’t get her that. It’s just mad, crazy, badly directed anger.

    This latest meltdown from Nene is probably from watching WWHL the other night with Wendy Williams. I happened to catch it and it was kind of strange. Wendy wasn’t a great guest. Maybe she hadn’t actually watched any of the shows she was asked about or wasn’t feeling it…. something was off. She certainly didn’t answer questions like she was friends with Nene in the way that RHOA had once portrayed.

    I almost sent you a link to a story that a major national publication ran on Nene’s RHOA departure. Damn, TT, you scooped a whole lot of other outlets with your RHOA reporting!

    And yes, it’s so gross to see Nene link her own ridiculous pity party to BLM. Real people are suffering. Nene’s just mad that she fucked up her own bag with her on and off-camera temper tantrums!

    And oh, btw, Vicki Gunvalson also got demoted and also left RHOC. There’s no conspiracy against either Nene or Vicki. They both finally got what they deserved.

        And as Fizz noted below, Luann also got demoted during Season 6 of RHONY, then won back her apple during filming for Season 7. And speaking of RHONY, Bethenny left the show after Season 3 for her spinoff, then left her spinoff for that disastrous talk show, then came back to RHONY for Season 7.

        And now that I think of it, RHONJ brought back Dina Manzo during Season 6, then brought back Jacqueline Laurita during Seasons 6 and 7 (first as a friend during S6, then with full billing during S7). There’s a long history of OG’s leaving the Housewives shows, and there’s even a history of some of them coming back. Hell, we even saw this with Nene herself, Sheree, and Kim Z on RHOA!

        Nene’s grasping at straws and indulging in a whole lot of revisionist history to justify her temper tantrums and pity parties.

    TT. You are not fair nor right. Why would you wish that bad seed on employees at Popeyes. They don’t deserve to have her as a work colleague. I think she and Greg can go back to the con game. I mean, she said SHE put Andy on? Let’s be clear, Andy was at Bravo when she came into the fold. Let’s be clear, Sheree, DeShaun, and Lisa put her and the wig on. They were NOBODIES. Deadbeats. Clout chasers.

    It’s people like Nene that cause racist people to say racism isn’t real. Crying like she is, act a damn fool, biting the hand that feeds her, physically attacking people, and then being so petty when she’s FINALLY fired (which should have happened a long time ago), that she is using being black as the reason she is no longer employed by them. There are real problems people of color are facing, and she wants to cry because she blew up the only path she had to money . She wants to be on the same level as Candy but doesn’t have the talent, skill or intelligence. I don’t like to insult other women, because the world is hard enough on us as it is, but she put manure out all the time and expected flowers in return. She’s in the real world, not a gardening club!

      She has been trying to play the racism card in all the negotiations ALLEGEDLY according to people close to the negotiations She’s threatened. She’s ranted.. She’s played the racism card. But that will never fly, She was making 123K per episode. She was the highest paid person on the show. She’s just so fucking full of herself that she thinks she can hit people and send camera man (now promoted to producer to the hospital. BUT SHE IS OPPRESSED LIKE BREONNA ? Bitch please.

      Technically no, since Kandi came on RHOA beginning with Season 2. However, past seasons’ success indicates to me that Kandi and the other cast members can easily carry the show without Nene.

    Her ego astounds me. No wonder Ryan Murphy doesn’t cast her anymore (a man KNOWN for recasting/reusing the same people over and over. People who, despite having a great career & other job opportunities, continue to work for him even if it is a smaller part.

    Only Black OG? Does she forget that Potomac even exists? There are FOUR OGs still on that show. She made Andy Cohen… that is laughable. Even if you ignored the fact that Orange County and New York came before Atlanta, you still have shows like Queer Eye, Project Runway, and Top Chef that helped put Andy on the map. Fuck, he probably had an Emmy before meeting her.

    I’ll have to try to catch his radio show tomorrow or catch up to yesterday’s, depending on when she went on this rant.

    Geez, I think it was just last month that he said he’d trust Nene to babysit Ben.

    She’s been able to massively capitalize off of opportunities given to her despite her sheer lack of talent. You’d think she would be grateful and humble.

    To see her implode like this isn’t fun to see.

    But there are many lessons here to teach others, so I guess there’s value in that.

      Nene could of capitalized on her position like Kandi did but she wasn’t smart enough to use her platform to parlay it. Look at all businesses that Kandi now has, she is a very smart business woman who takes advantage of all the opportunities.

        NeNe does not have the versatility that Kandi has. She is a one trick pony who cannot not pivot. She is good at playing the loud mouth but cannot do anything else.

    What Nene did was out right dumb AF. She has now sealed your fate. No one is going to now hire her due to this crazy outburst. She has become too much of a liability. Nene is her own worst enemy. She might have to go back to stripping if she keeps it up. She should of taken the money that they offered her and kept it moving. But her ego and pride got the best of her. She also better watch what she says because someone might just turn around and sue her.

      Btw, I watched WWHL and didn’t think either of them said anything crazy about Nene. Just Wendy saying she wouldn’t watch a spin-off of Nene. She could of said worse but she didn’t. I think that friendship was out of convenience and now it’s one sided.

      I don’t even think she could get a job stripping, she’s older now. Since I am female, I don’t know the ‘tastes’ of men and their strippers BUT, I’m thinking if I were a male I would want to see a younger stripper and not an old lady. Before anyone rags on me or calls me an ageist, I’m 62, many years older than Nene!

        We do things a little bit different here in the ATL. Everytime I spend to much money at the cash register somewhere, I tell the cashier, “I guess I need to get my stripper routine prepared for the Clermont. ”

        Nene would be perfect. I don’t think the old (very old) lady is still around that used to crush beer cans with her bare titties. #GoodTimes

    If Nene did think of Wendy as a real friend I can understand her feeling burned. OTOH, Wendy is known for being blunt, friends or not.

    Not to mention, Nene called has called her former cast members boring and worse……On WWHL!

    So now she knows how it feels on the receiving end.

      Their offer was for her to only do a few episodes and see if she could tone it down and get into the vibe of of the upcoming season. Kind of a probation with the possibility of other episodes.

    Her phone ain’t ringing, no one cares that she “left” RHOA, no one is paying attention to her and she’s pissed. She got away with horrible behavior season after season and people are just tired of it. She should have scooped up whatever Bravo offered her because it’s gonna be slim pickings for Nay Nay. Maybe the Masked Singer as the Moose? 90 Day–Before the Unemployment Runs Out?

      I couldn’t watch because it was preempted by baseball here. I did see her crying and putting on and wanting to talk to Bravo again even though she says she doesn’t want back on the show. Which is good, because filming would be ending this month except for the fact that they decided to extend filming through November and perhaps part of December. Also, Bravo was irked that she mentioned terms of her contract negotiations publically. Nene has asked to be released from her non-disclosure and options. Bravo is dragging their feet on that. 🙂 So there is some exclusive tea for you. 🙂
