‘I Don’t See the Problem:’ Nene Leakes Sets the Record Straight About Rekindling Her Relationship with Kenya Moore

Nene Leakes is making it clear that she and Kenya Moore were never friends.

When Leakes posted about the death of her friend and Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ ex Kim Porter, she explained how important it is to nurture friendships.

“It has been a real eye opener for me and how much sisterhood means!” she said in part on Instagram Sunday, Nov. 18 of losing her friend. “I believe friendship is just as important & precious as family! You must tend to them as you do family. The ones that last, transform, evolve and inspires. That friendship is REAL! Yes, friendship takes work just as any relationship does. This is why it is important to foster the friends who surround you, who want the best for you, who are there for you, who love you for YOU, who’s presences in your life and yours in theirs is beneficial. Don’t take that for granted! Inspire, encourage, listen and uplift each other because tomorrow isn’t promised!”

Fans weighed in on Leakes’ remarks and one encouraged her to take the lead in repairing her soured relationship with Moore.

“Maybe you will take your own advice and patch things up with @thekenyamoore ❤️God Bless you Nene.”

“@janoahalmighty they r not ‘real friends’ like she is with Cynthia,” a commenter replied.

Then, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star gave her take by writing, “@janoahalmighty were talking about friendship not co workers.”

“@belleneges79 don’t understand why people keep using that word for she and i! We are co-workers period🤷🏽‍♀️ i don’t see the problem,” she added.

Several fans weighed in on the exchange.

“Co-Workers 😂😂😂😂 whew Chile.”

“She has an ugly soul. Don’t get people being good at entertaining you mixed up with them actually being good people.”

“So they were NEVER friends obviously! That’s cool.”

“Why is ol girl replying to KENYA questions if she’s so unbothered.”

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.
