    NeNe Leakes Confronts Kenya Moore About Her Alluding That NeNe's Being Phased Out on 'RHOA'

    Bravo

    As Kenya is one of the guests in the new episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’, NeNe decided to confront her about her spreading rumors that NeNe was getting ‘phased out’ of the show.
    Feb 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kenya Moore recently stopped by “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Sunday, February 16. That apparently gave NeNe Leakes an opportunity to confront Kenya about her spreading rumors that NeNe was getting “phased out” of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” as she was noticeably absent in many episodes of the show.
    NeNe decided to send a question for Kenya. “Here’s a Q for Ken @andy….ask her y is she out doin press sayin BRAVO is fazing me out? BRAVO hasn’t told me or my team! Why is she out sayin i have lost money from NOT being n episodes. I negotiated my episodes & money Upfront? I have NOT lost anything #shade #hater,” she wrote on Twitter on Sunday, before adding that she’s “good” despite her absent.
    The question was noticed by Andy, who later delivered the question to Kenya, the guest of the episode. “Oh, well, I guess she’d need to ask Bravo why they’re cutting her out of many episodes of this season,” Kenya replied. “I’m not the one behind the editing, you know. I’m not the one behind doing the editing.”
    “You’re saying that she’s being phased out?” Andy asked, to which Kenya responded, “I think she is. That’s not something I can absolutely say. I mean, if you’re being cut out of episodes, clearly the sign is…,” before Andy cut her off.
    “But I don’t think she’s being cut out of episodes because I think everything that was shot with NeNe was in the show,” Andy said. “We’re not cutting anything. … I’m saying that everything shot–there’s nothing that’s been left out.”
    NeNe was pretty much satisfied with the answer. Echoing Andy’s remarks, she tweeted, “I HAVE NOT been cut out of any episodes! I negotiated my episodes just like everyone else did! I’m getting every dime i asked for! Thank you for asking and clearing that up @andy That means a lot to me.”

    Seemingly shading her co-stars, NeNe continued writing in a separate post, “The malicious against me is so real (i better be careful tho) On the outside looking in, you would think I have really done something so serious to this group! I have worked on many sets and NOT ONE can give a bad report on me! NOT ONE! Only this group of haters.”

    'RHOA': NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey Squash Beef in an Emotional Meeting

    WENN/Instar

    During the meeting, NeNe asks her former friend why she called her a ‘toxic friend’ while she used to think Cynthia as ‘somebody I considered to be a sister, and I felt she was out saying I was a toxic friend.’
    Feb 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey have been feuding with each other for almost a year, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-stars had buried the hatched in a Sunday, February 16 episode of the Bravo show. That started after Cynthia sent NeNe a thank you note for the hors d’oeuvres she sent to congratulate Cynthia for the opening of her newest business, the Bailey Wine Cellar, and asked her to come to have a glass of wine together.
    Of the meeting, Cynthia said in a confessional, “It really sucks to be in this place with NeNe. I’m not concerned about us being the best of friends again, but I can’t stand walking around knowing that she hates me.” She continued, “This has been a long time coming for us to sit down and have a conversation. I feel like we deserve to at least have a mutual respect for each other.”
    During the meeting, NeNe asked her former friend why she called her a “toxic friend.” Sharing that she didn’t understand the reason, NeNe said, “This is somebody I considered to be a sister, and I felt she was out saying I was a toxic friend. ‘Toxic’ is heavy because I thought I was a good friend to Cynthia. So I thought that was a stretch. I thought the word was nasty.”
    Explaining her side, Cynthia told NeNe, “When you are a friend, you are an amazing friend. When things go left, then you can be very closed, you’re very quick to shut people off, pretty much close people away. When I made that statement, you had said something things, I responded to some things, we both had said a lot.”
    “Maybe toxic was a little strong, but I felt like the last time that we were together, I was trying to explain a situation to you and I felt like you were completely closed to hearing it. And then I actually saw you saying things about me that I didn’t like. … You have said I was weak and insecure, which is not true,” she continued. However, NeNe felt she was justified to say so and it led to them arguing on things.
    At the end, NeNe walked out in tears. Cynthia, however, didn’t seem to want to ruin the moment so she went to NeNe and apologized. “I know that I hurt you,” Cynthia said. “I am sorry. … I know I have said some things that were not nice to say. Just give me a hug please. NeNe, I’m sorry.” NeNe responded, “And I’m sorry. I really am, I’m sorry. What I don’t want to do is hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you and that’s real, I don’t want to hurt you.”
    NeNe and Cynthia’s beef had something to do with fellow cast member Kenya Moore. It started after the former felt blindsided when Cynthia didn’t tell her about Kenya’s appearance at one of her events despite knowing the tension between NeNe and Kenya.
    “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs Sundays at 8 P.M. on Bravo.

    Nick Merico, who auditioned last season, returned though he backed out before going to Hollywood because of “personal things.” He managed to convince Katy and Luke that he still wanted to pursue his dream as a singer with a touching performance of “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. However, Lionel told Nick, “I don’t like you,” adding that he wanted him to know “what it feels like when people don’t adore you.” Still, the judges gave another Golden Ticket.
