NeNe Leakes Threatens To Leave Real Housewives Over Kim Zolciak's Show

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (5)

Fresh off the rumor mill: NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is threatening to leave because her nemesis Kim Zolciak landed a spinoff. Kim’s spinoff with Bravo TV was announced last month. “Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding” will follow Kim and her now husband Kroy Biermann plan for their wedding – which has already taken place. While Kim is only set for one show, NeNe knows that if the viewers respond Bravo will easily expand the Kim Zolciak’s franchise much like Bethenny Frankel. If you’ve caught the new episodes of season 4 of the Real Housewives then you know NeNe Leakes is a changed woman – she’s very rich! Following her stint on Celebrity Apprentice, NeNe’s star has gotten much brighter and if you didn’t know she would gladly tell you.

The latest rumor according to star magazine is that NeNe is threatening to leave if she doesn’t get more money from Bravo or they offer her a spinoff of her own. A source told Star magazine via Radar Online,

“She’s furious that Kim got her own show and she didn’t.” This is actually not that surprising.

The source continues, “She’s saying she’s too big for RHoA, and Bravo doesn’t pay her enough. NeNe has told friends if she doesn’t get what she wants, she will quit! … She thinks she’s Madonna.”

Would the Real Housewives of Atlanta be the same without NeNe?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
