      NeNe Leakes Blames Cast and Production for Her 'RHOA' Exit

      by

      Instagram

      During her appearance on Tamar Braxton’s ‘Under Construction’, NeNe reveals that the salary dispute isn’t the only reason why she decided to leave the show ahead of season 14.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – NeNe Leakes detailed the behind-the-scenes drama prior to her departure from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. During her appearance on Tamar Braxton’s “Under Construction”, NeNe revealed that the salary dispute wasn’t the only reason why she decided to leave the show ahead of season 14.
      In the interview, Tamar asked NeNe about the least talked about side effect of being on a reality show. “The other side of all the perks… I don’t know. I know that when I came out, I did everything. I did scripted television, I did Broadway, I was on the cover of Ebony magazine, the ‘Power’ cover, I was the first celebrity in 30 years to have a residency out in Vegas on Zumanity, appearances, I did appearances everywhere,” NeNe responded.
      Continuing to list the fame that “RHOA” brought to her, NeNe added, “Every single talk show it was possible to do. I co-hosted everywhere for everybody. I just did everything.” However, she noted that “the flip side of that is, it’s going to come to an end. Either it’s going to come to an end or you level off.”

      Despite everything, NeNe claimed that people would never have full control of their own career. “The other thing is, you could still be going just as hard as you were when you first came out but that corporate devil is sitting right there,” she went on to say, apparently throwing shade at Bravo. “It’s a corporate devil that people don’t know is controlling a lot of your career.”
      “I did a lot of competition shows. I did ‘Celebrity Apprentice, I did ‘Cupcake Wars’. I did a competition show where [husband] Gregg and I were cooking for these ‘MasterChef’ people. Corporate devil is a beast. That’s all I got to tell you. Like you think you’re going on these shows and you’re going to be like, ‘I can win.’ Actually, before you even get on the show they already know who the winner is. That’s the corporate devil. It’s a lot that happens behind the scenes that people just don’t know about,” she added.

      Of her exit, NeNe shared that she “was blaming a lot of people and it took me years to figure out who the real devil was.” She continued, “When I figured it out though it really crushed me. It really hurt my heart really bad. I was really, really hurt over it. And I was like, ‘Wow.’ It felt to me like American greed or something. Greedy, just greedy. They will never stop. That’s what happens. It’s sad. It’s a lot and it’s a lot to deal with. So much.”
      At the end of the day, NeNe concluded that “reality TV is better than reality. Cause you know, reality TV is a little twisted. That makes more money.” She also admitted that “it took me years to figure out why all these girls were coming after me every season [we would’ve squashed something in the background], why some of my friendships were falling apart. It took me years.”

      Natalie Anderson Gets Candid About Her Miscarriage After Exiting 'The Challenge'

      by

      MTV

      The 34-year-old New Jersey native abruptly left ‘The Challenge: Double Agents’ after she found out that she was pregnant with her child with boyfriend Devin Perez.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Natalie Anderson opens up about suffering miscarriage after leaving “The Challenge: Double Agents” in the Wednesday, January 13 episode of the show. In a new interview, Natalie detailed “a personal matter that requires me to leave the game.”
      The 34-year-old revealed to Us Weekly that the whole thing started after her phone call to her twin sister, Nadiya Anderson, over FaceTime while filming. “I was just joking because she’s trying to get pregnant with her second child, and I was, like, ‘Oh, my God, my period’s late. Maybe we’ll get pregnant, and we’ll have babies together when I get back!’ ” Natalie, who is dating boyfriend Devin Perez for more than a year, shared.
      “I was totally joking, but that triggered production to have me take a pregnancy test,” she continued. Natalie admitted that all she could think about was the competition, noting that there was no way for her to get pregnant. She added, “For me, the money was basically in my pocket, the check was already written. This money was mine and there was nobody who was gonna come get my skull for me. I was literally just waiting for the final to get there, so I could just cross everybody else and take the money.”

      When she found out that she’s pregnant, Natalie said that she felt this “weird wave of happiness, shock, surprise, disappointment. I didn’t even process what I was actually feeling. I was just like, ‘How am I pregnant? I want to win this money!’ I love my boyfriend, but he’s not here. It was just the most awkward way to find out you’re pregnant, because it could have been an amazing feeling, but I didn’t have the opportunity to feel like that because I was just so confused and torn about having to leave the game, but also was super excited and happy.”
      The New Jersey native revealed that even when she was home, it took time for her to embrace the fact that she was pregnant. Thankfully, her boyfriend was there to help her. “I could finally breathe and embrace the pregnancy in a way that I hadn’t felt while I was out there. I was now embracing in a different light. I realized everything happens for a reason. I had to give up winning, potentially, half a million dollars. But on the flip side, I get to embrace this cool journey with somebody I love and trust to be my partner in life,” she said.
      “The Amazing Race” vet then shared that she then got back into her “regular routine of eating and training.” However, she then felt intense cramps a week later, sharing, “I went through a miscarriage, and it was really difficult because I had just kind of come to peace with leaving the game and saying goodbye to the competition of the challenge, which I love, came back home and changed my mindset into this new journey. And that was then taken away from me. It was hard for me.”
      Despite the heartbreaking experience, Natalie said that she wanted to make the best out of everything. “I did everything that I could in my power to kind of make peace with my journey and I’m just really proud of where I am right now and where we are together,” she said.

      Bravo Shuts Down 'RHONY' Production Again After Cast Member Has COVID-19

      by

      Bravo

      This is the second time for ‘RHONY’ production of season 13 to get suspended due to coronavirus as the filming was halted after a crew member tested positive for the disease in October 2020.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Production on “The Real Housewives of New York City” season 13 is put on halt once again due to COVID-19. It has been reported that Bravo has shut down the filming after a cast member tested positive for the novel coronavirus. PageSix was the first to report the news.
      The news outlet claimed that it had the name of the contracted star. However, it decided not to reveal the identity because it hasn’t been given us permission to do so. Bravo, meanwhile, has yet to comment on the report.
      This is the second time for “RHONY” production to get suspended due to coronavirus. The filming was halted after a crew member tested positive for the disease back in October. The production only resumed after two-week quarantine period.

      “RHONY” isn’t the only “Real Housewives” show which production was affected by COVID-19. “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was forced to temporarily pause filming in November 2020 after cast members Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley and Kathy Hilton tested positive for COVID-19.
      That aside, season 13 will see newcomer Eboni K. Williams joining returning Housewives Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Leah McSweeney and Sonja Morgan. Of being the first black Housewife on the show, Eboni shared to PEOPLE, “This is not the first time I’ve been the first Black woman in a space. I was the first Black woman at my law firm coming out of law school.”
      “When you are privileged to be the first, you represent your entire culture. I’m not just on this show as Eboni K. Williams, in many ways, I’m on this show representing Black womanhood. I take that responsibility very seriously,” she explained. “I don’t have the option to be a shrinking violet.”

      Paul Bettany Jokingly Blames His English Background in Response to 'Wandavision' Snotgate Saga

      by

      Disney+

      When appearing on ‘Good Morning America’, the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ actor fires back at co-star Elizabeth Olsen for accusing him of leaving snot on her lips during a kissing scene.

      Jan 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actor Paul Bettany has fired back at his “WandaVision” co-star Elizabeth Olsen after she accused him of leaving snot on her lips during a kissing scene.
      The stars play an unlikely superhero couple in the new Disney+ series, which debuts on Friday, January 15, and during a TV interview earlier this week Olsen went public with the embarrassing moment, revealing it really made Bettany mad when she pointed it out.
      But appearing on the same show, “Good Morning America”, on Wednesday, the Brit insisted the snot was Olsen’s – not his.
      “(It’s a) gross miscarriage of justice,” he said. “During a kissing scene… snot appeared on both our lips, which is of course disgusting. I was a gentleman and kinda went away and pretended it didn’t happen and she, rather grumpily, pointed the finger at me.”

        See also…

      “I can prove categorically it was her snot, not my snot… If Elizabeth ‘Snotter’ Olsen – as I call her – were here today, she would be the first to tell you when she gets emotional in a scene her nose runs before the tears come, whereas I’m English… and unable to express emotion.”

      Both stars, who have appeared in countless Marvel movies, have made it clear their outrage is just a fun line to help promote the new series.
      In related news, Marvel boss Kevin Feige reacted to people calling the half-hour sitcom weird, at least compared to other Marvel shows. “Weird is good,” he said. “I like weird. After ‘Endgame’, after the completion of a 23-movie Infinity Saga, we were soul-searching about what was coming next. ‘WandaVision’ being our first for Disney+ is perfect. It was always about pushing the boundaries of storytelling, doing something we could only do with the narrative structure of television.”

      'Teen Mom 2' Star Briana DeJesus Explains Mom's Racially Offensive Comments

      by

      MTV

      In a new interview, the MTV personality defends her mom Roxanne, insisting that her ‘mom is not racist,’ after she’s being accused of using racial slur in one episode.

      Jan 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Briana DeJesus has broken her silence on her mom’s usage on racial slurs in the December 29, 2020 episode of “Teen Mom 2”. In a new interview with PEOPLE on Wednesday, January 13, the MTV personality defended her mom Roxanne, insisting that her “mom is not racist.”
      She also said that her “mom did not use that word” in an uncensored version of the MTV stars’ conversation about her ex Devoin Austin from the episode. “It’s so frustrating for people to think that my mom would say that word or would be that type of person when she has been Devoin’s biggest supporter,” she added.
      Roxanne also weighed in on the allegations. “I’ve been really sad and really emotional about it, because we’re talking about Devoin,” so she shared. “I didn’t say it, clearly it’s there. It doesn’t work out for anybody when you assume. I love Devoin and will always have his back. I will always want the best for him. And it just breaks my heart to think that this happened.”

        See also…

      The mom and daughter duo also shared that they’ll be supporting each other amid the scandal. “We’re on this journey together. Some way, somehow, we have to make it work for Nova,” she said, referring to Briana and Devoin’s nine-year-old daughter. “This doesn’t affect me or Briana as much as it will affect Nova. I just need him to relax, calm down, and it’ll all work out in the end.”
      She continued, “I always work on a relationship with him — no matter how disappointed or angry or hurt I am, Devoin and Nova’s relationship, to me, is priority number one. It’s not about us, it’s about Nova, the biracial child. She knows about both races, she loves both sides of the family, and we won’t let anything change that.”
      In the said uncensored clip, Roxanne could be seen exploding after Devoin leaked her cellphone number online and used a curse word, which was previously bleeped out in the original episode since it violated FCC guidelines. “Next they’ll be knocking on our f***ing door because this d*** gave out your information,” so Roxanne said in the clip.

      Phil Collins' Ex-Wife Being Eyed for Potential 'Real Housewives of Miami' Reboot

      by

      WENN/Johnny Louis

      Bravo is said to be ‘having preliminary conversations for a potential return’ of the show with Orianne Cevey being claimed to be among those in the running for the new cast.

      Jan 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Phil Collins’ ex-wife Orianne Cevey is reportedly being lined up for a potential reboot of “The Real Housewives of Miami”.
      According to the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, U.S. TV network Bravo is “revisiting” the show – which initially ran from 2011 to 2013 and made household names of stars including Larsa Pippen – and having “preliminary conversations for a potential return.”
      Sources told the outlet that bosses are considering bringing back some former cast members, as well as adding some new faces – with Cevey among those in the running.

        See also…

      Page Six added that singer Paulina Rubio is also apparently among the potential stars set to be cast in the reboot.
      Cevey has hit headlines in recent months due to Collins suing her and her current husband Thomas Bates to try and evict them from the property he claims he still owns. She was initially married to Collins from 1999 to 2008 and after they split, Cevey went on to marry Charles Mejjati, before reuniting with Collins in 2015.
      Cevey secretly married Thomas Bates, 31, a month after splitting from Collins this summer, and while the drummer initially tried to evict the pair, they have now reached an agreement that the couple will move out of the house in January and it is now up for sale.
      In her court documents, Cevey claimed that before they reunited, Collins told her he would give her half of their new home if she divorced Charles and gave up her stake in their $20 million Miami estate. She has accused him of going back on the promise.

      by

      Instagram

      After wrapping her last ever scenes for the hit reality show, the wife of Kanye West also shared a quick look behind the scenes wherein she and the crew were having a drink in her backyard.

      Jan 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kim Kardashian and her family have celebrated the end of filming on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” by treating the camera crew to luxury Rolex watches.
      The E! reality show wrapped its last ever scenes this week (begins January 11), and to mark the end of an era, the stars gave each of the 30 crewmembers a $10,000 (£7,350) timepiece, according to TMZ.
      Kim previously admitted she was “officially sobbing” as “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” wrapped for good.
      Taking a selfie while holding a glass of Champagne, she told her millions of Instagram followers, “Officially sobbing. Grateful for every single second.”

      Kim Kardashian shared her thoughts on the end of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ filming.
      Kim also shared a quick behind-the-scenes video, in which she admitted it was “crazy” that the show was coming to an end.

      In the clip, she said, “We just finished filming forever, like ever, ever. We’re done, we’re never filming again – isn’t that so crazy?! So we’re having a drink with the crew in my backyard, hanging out. Cheers to – I don’t know. 15 years; 20 seasons of craziness and lots of love.”

      The Kardashian family announced the decision to end the show in September 2020. Kim wrote in a statement at the time, “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
      She continued, “After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”
      “Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience,” she added, “and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.”
