The tension between the women of “Atlanta Housewives” is still brewing after the season 10 reunion. Two of the cast-mates took to Twitter to hash out their beef.

NeNe Leakes and Shereé Whitfield have been at each other’s throats all season since Leakes called her incarcerated boyfriend Tyrone, a “con artist.” However, when Leakes retweeted a fan’s question,”@iamsheree what year was it that you were stealing out of Neiman Marcus?! What makes you so jealous of @NeNELeakes” the quarrel escalated and  Shereé hit back hard.

The fashion designer of “She By Shereé” quickly clapped back at the Broadway actress, reminding Leakes of her indiscretions and the recent joke that caused her to be dropped from the “The Great Xscape Tour.”

NeNe told a heckler in Oakland that she hoped the fan would get “raped by their Uber driver.” While NeNe apologized for the comment, Shereé further reminded Leakes of her past.

Leakes has yet to respond to Whitfield’s rape comments, but fans are anticipating the reality star’s response.

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.
