    Instagram

    Additionally, the Xscape singer explains that the producers edited out NeNe’s call in part 3 of season 12 reunion of the Bravo reality show following her premature exit.
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kandi Burruss offers some more details about NeNe Leakes’ premature exit during ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 12 reunion. Speaking to HollywoodLife.com in an episode of TVTalk on Instagram Live, Kandi shared what wasn’t shown on the show following NeNe’s exit.
    “You saw [Marlo Hampton] did try to reach out to her, [Porsha Williams] did, but she did not come back to the computer but she was calling us on speakerphone,” the Xscape singer said. “Now what they didn’t show you [on TV] was we could actually hear what she was saying [at the time of filming], but they did not play her voice [from] the phone [on TV].”
    As for why the producers decided to edit it out, Kandi shared, “I [don’t] know why they didn’t want to play what she was saying.”
    NeNe left the reunion at the end of Part 2, and she tried to talk to everyone on speakerphone during a private phone call with Porsha. “Why are you calling us on speaker phone, but you don’t want to talk to us [on video]? It didn’t make sense,” Kandi stated. “So that was what you didn’t see was that we were actually able to hear her talking on the speakerphone for a short period of time until [Andy Cohen] was like, ‘No, uh uh, we’re just going to go forward [without her].’ ”
    Kandi went on saying that filming the reunion was exhausting. “Overall, I think that the funny thing was all of us were exhausted. We were pretty much exhausted after the reunion,” she divulged.

    Following the reunion, Kandi shared that she didn’t keep in contact with other ladies. “We didn’t talk that much,” she explained. “I briefly spoke to Marlo, I think, and I briefly spoke to Kenya for a short period of time, but really, everybody was just so exhausted. Sitting in front of a computer all day is exhausting. Since the reunion, NeNe and I haven’t talked at all.”

    'RHOA': Kenya Moore Claims NeNe Leakes' Olive Branch Is Covered in Poison Ivy

    Instagram

    During part 3 of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion, the former Miss USA insists that she has proofs that she tried to reach out to her castmate when her husband Gregg was battling cancer.
    May 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kenya Moore has accused NeNe Leakes of being fake. During the third part of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion, the former Miss USA found herself being grilled about her ongoing disputes with her castmate, forcing her to get candid about why she appeared “unwilling” to accept the latter’s extended olive branch.
    In the Sunday, May 24 edition, host Andy Cohen pointed out to Kenya that NeNe tried to talk to her at two different occasions, at the bowling event and during a dinner in Greece, without avail. When asked to clarify, the 49-year-old said, “Because I know it was all fake and phony because of our history. And I can see a fake a mile away. So why should I accept an olive branch if it’s covered in poison ivy?”
    During the chat, Kenya was also asked if she reached out to NeNe when her husband Gregg was battling cancer. Though Marlo Hampton claimed the actress did not do so, Kenya insisted that she did. “I did. Absolutely, and I have the text messages to prove it,” she claimed.
    “The Celebrity Apprentice” alum went on to elaborate, “I have the missed phone calls to prove it. She never asked me about myself [during my difficult pregnancy]. And I look at all of that, and I just said, ‘You know what. This lady is not for me.’ ”
    When Andy asked Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey what initiated the feud between Kenya and NeNe, Kandi responded by admitting, “Honestly, I don’t know anymore.” She added, “They’ve been arguing for so long that I’m not sure where it all started.” Cynthia shared similar sentiment as she stated, “I’m not sure either.”
    The former model, however, did point out, “I do know that when we started filming this season, Nene was very interested in meeting up with Kenya. Maybe she was trying to make amends with or whatever her reasons, but I do know that Nene wanted to meet up with Kenya.”
    Elsewhere during the reunion, Gail “Yovanna” Momplaisir made an appearance to address the “#SnakeGate.” Accusing NeNe of being the mastermind behind the secret taping of Cynthia’s private conversation, Gail said, “I’m here to clear my name. Not only did she ask me to record Ms. Cynthia Bailey, but she told me she wanted me to record every single body that’s sitting right here.”
    “She wanted proof that everybody else is equally talking s**t about her the way she talks s**t about everybody else,” Gail elaborated. She additionally spilled that Nene has sent her “threatening text messages, harassing phone calls from blocked numbers, and even a cease and desist from her attorney.”
    “In her cease and desist, her attorney’s verbiage was that I needed to destroy any alleged audio that I might have on her that would portray her in a negative light or defame her character,” she explained. “I don’t know where she got that information from, I’ve never recorded NeNe. But clearly she’s afraid of the truth coming out here today.”
    When confronted by Porsha Williams on why she did not come clean earlier, Momplaisir admitted, “I was still trying to protect her.” She continued, “It was beyond me why she actually went and told you guys she had an audio when she had actually never heard one her damn self. … The only reason I hadn’t really said anything is because I didn’t know that NeNe officially threw me under the bus.”

    NeNe Leakes on Walking Off 'RHOA' Reunion: 'It Only Felt Right'

    Bravo

    In related news, the 52-year-old Bravo personality reveals that she’s still undecided whether she’s going to return for a new season of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ or not.
    May 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes has detailed the reason why she walked off during the first part of season 12 reunion of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. In a lengthy post on her Instagram account, the Bravo personality shared that she felt “it only felt right to personally REMOVE MYSELF from the reunion.”
    In the Sunday, May 17 post, she went on to say, “So much had happened this season! (the cookie lady, [Marc Daly] & [Kenya Moore]’s fake marriage, Dennis [McKinley] accusations, Snake gate and much more) but drilling me on subjects, muting me, flashing back to things that had happened since the show has wrapped (like my relationship with [Wendy Williams] while quarantine. (why didn’t they ask about Kandi’s [Burruss] restaurant shooting the if that’s what we’re doing) interviews I’ve done since we wrapped the show that has nothing to do with the show) After deciding that apologizing for certain things was only only right) that wasn’t genuine enough!”
    “Starting over with lil sis [Porsha Williams] was made fun of and here they go bringing someone on the reunion that i was personally told by executives wasn’t allowed on set anymore!” she continued writing, referring to Yovanna Momplaisir, who was deemed to be the “snake” in the current season. “All this and so much more felt like the rules only applied to me and that i was being held to a different standard than others but you continue to be the judge.”

    Upon reading her post, fans showed divided reactions. A fan was on NeNe’s side, commenting, “She’s right though…those other stories were definitely more interesting than her fallout with Wendy. It was a set up. I’m glad she didn’t give them the energy. Let’s see what they talk about in her absence.”
    However, some others didn’t think that it was right for NeNe to quit the reunion just because she couldn’t take the criticism from others. Calling NeNe “dramatic,” another fan noted, “Every single lady on that show get grilled and today it wasn’t even her who got dragged the most … it was Kenya and her a** took it like a champ like she does at every reunion when they all come for her. I think it’s time for Nene to take a break from the show.”
    “Lies. She couldn’t stand the heat so she removed her wig from the kitchen. If you can give it, you can take it,” said another user. Meanwhile, someone else chimed in, “Girl bye!!! Ain’t nobody buying that bullshit. Why wouldn’t you want Yovonna on there if she was your friend? Talk about fake story lines.”
    In related news, NeNe revealed that she was undecided whether she would return for a new season or not. “I don’t know. I just don’t know,” the 52-year-old told PEOPLE. “I got back and forth with it every day. I feel like it’s a big conversation I need to have with the network and with production. Because if they value their talent in some sort of way, then we need to talk. We need to come up with some sort of compromise here.”
    “This time, being quarantined [amid the coronavirus pandemic] has really made me appreciate a lot of things about my life anyway,” she added. “I keep saying to people, ‘I want my life back.’ I can’t have these girls fighting with me on TV for no reason anymore. I’ve got to move forward. And if that’s all you want from me, I have to move on and I got to go. Me and my wig got to leave, honey.”
