Absolutely, but she was also responsible for the ratings slipping too. Her last season had fans completely tiring of her antics and her diva mentality. There wasn't one cast member that year, that she didn't attack, disrespect and treat badly. Making Atlanta housewives number one for so many years, could have been her legacy, but instead, NeNe has become the poster child for what NOT TO DO, when you're on top of the world and you let your ego get the best of you!!

Nene get out of your head! The people love you and your star power is unmatched. Give us the vlogs, podcasts, fashion buy reviews, a nice lil closet sale, interviews, if you cook give us that too.. All of it!! The people will support 💕💕

The only way we would be getting a truth is if both sides of the argument were involved in this conversation. Let's keep it real, there is a bit of a disgruntled worker bias going on right now, that's not really proportionately representative of the now over 150 housewives (not including additional bravo talent) - most of whom are no longer even associated with the network, and would be able to talk without repercussion. Second, the income these women generated in a couple short years is equivalent to SEVERAL LIFETIMES of working class income - the bulk of the population who face far more problematic working conditions and experience a far lower quality of life/health as a result. The real reason these women like Nene stuck around for so long is because this gig is better than literally any other in today's job market comparatively. Come on people - this is not where worker reform needs prioritization right now!

Every time Bethenny does a housewives interview, I end up shocked by how much I come away with such admiration, respect, empathy and grace for women who eventually became some of my least favorite HWs in the franchise. Bethenny has a way of allowing them to reveal the true side of themselves that we could not enjoy during their housewife tenure. I now realize that much of their toxic behaviors were induced by the toxic environment Bravo created. I actually feel ashamed for judging both Jill and Nene as harshly as I eventually did. I swear, Bethenny is the HW whisperer.

Bethenny is an astute businesswoman who, right from the outset, skillfully negotiated a Real Housewives (RH) contract that enabled her to leverage their platform for brand promotion, all while securing 100% ownership of her profits.

Nene made Bravo what it is today. The Housewives honestly became way more interesting when she came on. She is naturally good on camera and I think she would be dynamic with her own platform. I hope she gets on KZread and creates her own show. You don’t need these Networks. They’re all outdated anyway. Be well Nene ❤

Beth has the connections and Nene has the star power together unstoppable.

I believe NENE was telling the truth about the discrimination. I agree with Bethaney YES they exploited both she and NENE’s childhood traumas by purposely placing them in toxic and triggering environments/situations setting up their crews and cameras to catch the fallout and make MUST SEE TV! NOTE TO NENE: while you still have drawing power, get your own podcast and eventually your own TV show - YOU HAVE A BUILT-IN AUDIENCE (remember how many tuned in to see you on Carlos’ podcast), and at the end of the day, its a RATINGS GAME and you will get the ratings and some network will be enticed to give you another shot! KNOW YOUR WORTH! And then add tax!

After seeing the Hunger Games, I have always thought Andy Cohen was the living Caesar Flickerman. Now B and Nene confirmed it.. this only took 10 plus years..kudos ladies keep shining.

you can tell Bethany is being REAL because she's so rich from all the stuff she's created so she doesn't need ANYTHING from BRAVO or Andy or Hollywood, and I love that for her. Drag them to hell, girls. LOL

Did they co-ordinate their colourful outfits!? I appreciate the stellar reality TV entertainment that Nene & Bethenny have given over the last decade Two OGs. ❤❤❤ Now to the video 🍿 🍿 🍿

The first show I was introduced to was Atlanta and Nene was a standout to me. It’s clear a lot of the criticism she received was by a lot of tone policing, backwards, narrow-minded individuals that had it in there minds that Nene(a strong, confident, vivacious and personable) character was someone to fear. No one dared to check their biases because all Nene really wanted to do was shine.

Bethany, why do you need a production company to do a show with Nene? Make your own and do you! I would totally be here for it! You and Nene are amazing and a show with you two together would be a hit, just keep it 100! No more of this 75- 82% crap!

Yes they could pay for the production (filming), but shows require backing, distribution, sponsorship etc; you really can't do it alone. Also, Bethenny isn't being entirely honest, and talk is cheap ... from the look on NeNe's face when she brought it up, something tells me that Bethenny has yet to make any official offer/pitch to NeNe or her people. The truth is NeNe is now a liability, and a lot of people would be afraid to work with her for fear that she would sue them too.

I want to see Nene win! She is talented. I believe she did bring along the other cast members, not only for a show bit for the women around her to grow. She created an avenue for Sheree who was in a dependent and abusive relationship and Kim who was in a similar position. I really appreciated when she attempted to counsel Porscha. I agree with everyone. She deserves her own show.

This Interview pasted together soooo many things that didn’t make sense at the time! Nene’s interview was eye opening and amazing! I adored how vulnerable & transparent she was! She looks amazing! I pray that she finds love & work ! Bethanny Love u to pieces… love love love u!!! In my mind we are sisters!

Bethenny and NeNe .. literally the two GOATS coming together to finally sit down and talk in THE BEST WAY 🔥

NeNe definitely should have been the replacement for the Wendy Williams show. Nothing against Sherry, but NeNe would have been a great.

The most iconic housewife ever is Nene Leakes 😍. Please can Nene Leakes start her own reality show? We are waiting!!

I love to hear her talk about Greg and I love that she has the space to do so!

I loved and hated this interview all at once. Nene did amazing... she really reflects the black woman’s experience even in Corporate America. Bethenny was good. I just wish she would hold space to hear her guest more instead of speaking over them. She was cutting off a lot of Nene’s really amazing points. Also, it’s OK to call out that her experience would be different because she’s a black woman. And can we stop asking black women to humble themselves!

NeNe was married to The Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise for over a decade and the divorce was messy. Racism, discrimination, emotional & financial abuse were all factors that led up to this inevitable break up. After years of commitment and hard-work she was left stifled & bewildered on these entertainment streets. She helped build the franchise and continues to generate revenue for the network without compensation. NeNe (as well as the other black cast members on RHOA) experienced discrimination and systemic racism while filming for the show. NeNe was the spokesperson for the cast members. She complained to Bravo executives on behalf of the group for several years and the issues were never addressed. All this was happening while The Powers That Be are phasing her out of the show without her understanding and proper accommodations. NeNe was portrayed, by the media, as ungrateful & difficult to work with which is far from the truth. After NeNe left the show, she filed a legal complaint. I believe it was to get their attention and evoke a much overdue response to the issues. After her exit from the show she wasn’t able to book jobs for several years. During that time she lost her husband of many years, Greg. He was sort of her voice of reason and the peacemaker in their relationship. I think NeNe needed and needs a better team (agent, manger, publicist, attorney, etc.). You have to have the right people in place to help you successfully navigate in business. Her claims were valid, and hopefully she continues to soar. Bravo, as well as other networks are making money off of talent by monetizing via syndication, streaming, distribution and other income channels without paying the talent. Bethenny’s movement, SAG, and other fair treatment advocates/supporters are speaking out and working towards getting better contracts for talent. It’s a great interview. It gives insight into NeNe’s & Bethenny’s perspective. Check it out for yourself. These are my thoughts & notes 📝.😉

@Councils-Girl

8 ай бұрын

It was 75% honest!

Here’s my “fan theory” about the situation. After Kim’s last season where the roach thing happened and Nene questioned why she had her own show, she complained to producers about unfair treatment. Because in one of her other interviews she explained how after that reunion she and the other girls approached producers to complain and nothing came of it. I believed they didn’t like that and because she was the “ring leader” so to speak they decided it was time to get her out. A few seasons later slowly everyone started turning on her starting with Kenya. I believe after her suspension for not “sharing her marriage” etc production pressured her to have a storyline and Nene became the target (because I believe production told her to do so). Slowly everyone began turning on her, which was low bc of Greg’s health battle. Things subsided for a little but then ramped back up where only Porsha (who eventually left after she was attacked the following season) and Marlo were the only ones who defended or supported her. The way Bravo built her up, cashed in and broke her down was nasty work. It’s funny because now everyone is trying to clear their conscience including Cynthia and Kenya saying Nene should be back on the show in their interviews as of late. But idk as someone who watched over the years as the entire situation played out, what do I know… *breathes* I love Nene and she has had cringe moments but their biggest mistake was losing her. Look at the show now, it’s just boring and the storylines are recycled played out. That’s why people watch Potomac as far as an all black cast is concerned.

Bethenny and Nene both had significant others pass. They connect so well! Can we please have B do a housewives reunion trip of her picks ! Not BRAVO!❤❤❤ Love this interview! 🎉🎉🎉
