NeNe Leakes is spilling the tea from her time as an original castmember on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and this time she sharing her experience with someone who can relate, Bethenny Frankel (“The Real Housewives of New York”).
During her two-part conversation with Frankel on her podcast “Just B,” Leakes dished on some old and new items like feeling like she was blacklisted following her lawsuit against NBCUniversal, Bravo, and production companies True Entertainment and Truly Original, and how Black “housewives” were not given the same privileges as their white counterparts.
But there were new revelations, like Frankel’s attempt to pitch a show starring her and Leakes called “Ebony and Ivory,” and Leakes admitting she felt executive producer/host Andy Cohen never liked her.
Leakes also recognized the jumpstart that “Housewives” gave her TV career but now wants to return to her real passion — acting. Here’s a...

The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast has not been exempt from the alleged “reality TV curse.” Cast members have experienced highs and lows in love, many of which have had their breakups/divorces play out on the show. As Season 15 approaches, here’s a look back at every couple who divorced after appearing on the show.
Rhoa Season 15 cast via NBC Universal DeShawn Snow divorced after her first season on ‘Rhoa’
Snow appeared on the inaugural season of the Bravo reality show. At the time, she was married to former Philadelphia 76ers player, Eric Snow. They had three sons, and DeShawn wanted to have a daughter. Viewers watched as Eric spoiled his wife with lavish gifts and DeShawn wrote $30,000 checks for charity and tithes for Church. She was fired after the first season for being “boring.”
News soon broke that Eric had been having an affair with a woman he dated in college.

Former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes filed a lawsuit in Atlanta federal court on Wednesday.
In the lawsuit, the reality TV star claims that the companies that produced the series oversaw a hostile and racist workplace.
Leakes named executive producer Andy Cohen, Bravo, NBC Universal, True Entertainment, Truly Original, and executives from the companies.
The Associated Press first reported the news of the lawsuit.
Leakes claimed in the court documents that she had reported racist remarks from onetime co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann.
The star alleged that she faced repercussions in her professional life due to speaking up about the alleged incidents.
