NeNe Leakes on Wendy Williams – NeNe Leakes has learned a thing or two in her rise to fame – drop names that are bigger than you. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star stopped by the Wendy Williams show to dish about season 5 of Housewives and her new projects. On the topic of Housewives NeNe denied former Ms. USA Kenya Moore was joining the cast to replace Sheree Whitfield, despite numerous rumors and hints from Kenya herself.
In the midst of her interview NeNe decided it was time to present Wendy with a $3,200 Celine bag – which her girlfriend Kim Kardashian also owns – her admission not ours. Wendy proceeded to use the opportunity to bring Kim into the conversation. “What do you guys talk about?” An unusually hoarse NeNe continued to play coy and revealed they chat like girlfriends do about boys and fashion – and maybe their next well-timed public outing.
As for her projects NeNe will return for season 5 of the Real Housewives, hopefully another season of Glee and she’s gearing up for her new role on “The New Normal”.
NeNe has learned well.
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.
