NeNe Leakes got so mad during the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion that she turned her computer off. However, she’s back to give a recap of what went down and how she felt during the Season 12 reunion. And you know she’s shading her “haters.” More inside…
The Season 12 reunion of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” had to go digital since we’re all on lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. However, that surely didn’t stop the shade show.
Everyone unleashed a season’s worth of reads and it made for entertaining TV. However, everything isn’t all fun and games for the self-proclaimed “HBIC” of the show.
After Part 1 of the reunion aired, NeNe Leakes hopped online to chop it up with the hosts of Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” to give her side of everything that transpired.
While all the bickering and fighting is entertainment to the viewers, it’s seemingly taking a toll on NeNe. She revealed she’s in therapy following the reunion because it’s hard on her mental. She said she’s constantly attacked for every little thing she does and it’s draining.
“You have to need therapy after doing this for so long,” she explained. “And therapy is only for me to make sure I don’t run over to someone house, knock it down and choke the sh*t out of them.”
This season, NeNe and Kandi Burruss were not friends. Kandi mentioned NeNe was only in therapy as a “damage control tactic,” but y’all know NeNe isn’t here for Kandi and her side remarks, so she responded. NeNe feels like Kandi has been coming for her because she needs a storyline.
“Kandi just wants to be #1. You know she’s never been #1 in anything she has done," NeNe spewed. "Coming over here to my house, she wants to be #1. The seat is not available yet. It’ll be available when I give it to her. She’s #2.”
So, how did NeNe and Kandi began beefing (again) in the first place?
NeNe said she and Kandi had their little issue years ago, but they it go. Their issues didn’t start until NeNe spoke on a situation on her YouTube series. NeNe said she spoke on a situation that didn’t involved Kandi. In fact, she said Kandi’s name was never mentioned, however Kandi obviously felt a type of way about what she said and ran with it. NeNe said since they’re cool, she texted Kandi and Kandi started firing back at her (via text messages). NeNe said she assured Kandi the situation she was addressing wasn’t about her, but Kandi kept going off.
“I knew she just wanted some smoke with me,” NeNe said. “She’s been boring for a while now and so, what better way to have someone to call your name – Kandi – then to put it in line with NeNe Leakes.”
Oop! Sounds like she’s salty about those reports that said Kandi was the highest paid housewife.
No surprise NeNe went in on her enemy Kenya "Skinya" Moore during the interview. NeNe said she never sees them resolving their issue – ever – and that Kenya needs to stay in her lane.
"I don't see us ever resolving anything. Listen, when you're on a show like this there are several different personalities,” NeNe expalined. “There're six girls. Everybody needs to play their position and ride in their lane. The problem is, people want to crossover into your lane. This is my lane! You can't get over here. Stay over there. Be good at what you're good at. Don't worry about what I'm doing over here. Too many people are worried. These girls are all in competition. Be good at what you're good at. I'm not moving...If the show didn't want me here, then the show would take me off."
NeNe also addressed actress Vivica A. Fox hinting at NeNe having a drug problem. Lordt. She said it was very “f*cked up” for Vivica to say that especially when she thought they were cool.
"These people have fallen from grace. So who better to talk about than the person everyone is talking about?,” NeNe said.
Back to the reunion, NeNe also addressed her public fallout with Wendy Williams. She was upset that the ladies are quick to talk about things going on in her life, but leave out tidbits about their own.
"They were talking about things like Wendy Williams. We've been quarantined when Wendy and I had a disagreement. It has nothing to do with the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' but if you wanna discuss it, okay I'm fine with discussing it. But let's discuss the s**t that happened with you since we've been in quarantine. Kandi's restaurant got shot up, so why didn't we talk about that?"
NeNe also unleashed on her co-star Eva Marcille, alluding that the former "ANTM" contestant used to "lick bottoms" for a come up.
“Licking bottoms out in LA just to stay on top,” NeNe said in reference to Eva. “I’m saying, that’s the word out on these streets,” she said.
When asked if Eva was coming back for the next season, NeNe said she didn't know. She said Eva is boring, so she doesn't see the point in her returning.
