RHOA Fan Wants Tamar Braxton to Be Handed a Peach: ‘We Won’t Need Nene or Kenya!’

Nene Leakes uploaded a photo promoting her Duluth, Georgia boutique and a fan of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” seems to think she may need to spend more time there. Derailing the post, the commenter said Leakes needs the boot from the TV show in favor of Tamar Braxton.

On Friday, Leakes promoted some new apparel from her store, Swagg Boutique. The post largely garnered comments about how great the O.G. RHOA star looked in her striped black and white top and fitted black pants.

“So cute.”

“Absolutely stunning! Like always! I want to be you!❤️”

“Too fabulous for words.”

“Okay u looking cute love the top.”

However, one commenter decided to call on Bravo executive Andy Cohen and demand Braxton takes Leakes’ peach, meaning there would be no reason to entertain a return from Kenya Moore. Moore left RHOA after season 10 citing the “drama” she wanted to leave behind in the wake of managing her high-risk pregnancy.

“@bravoandy GIVE TAMAR A PEACH!!! She is good tv!!! We won’t need nene or Kenya!!”  Instagram user @la_bella_vitta remarked.

Apparently watching a good dose of “Celebrity Big Brother,” the fan seems to think outspoken Braxton’s antics would be a better fit for RHOA rather than Leakes’ issues with her pal Tanya Sam or her continued grappling with husband Gregg Leakes’ cancer battle.

This despite tensions erupting between Sam and Leakes when the registered nurse sported a set of sunglasses from Swagg Boutique and deemed the $150 accessory the “low end” item in her outfit. Things began to boil over between the pair when Sam took offense to Leakes saying Sam may not marry her fiancé Paul Judge.

However, the midseason trailer that was recently unveiled may provide the great television @la_bella_vitta seeks.

In a scene with the cast Leakes states, “I need my friends to be here for me.” She’s later seen sobbing and then the clip cuts to her racing toward a cameraman and pulling him back by his shirt.

Let’s be clear, b—-, I’m going to f–k you up,” she says, apparently toward a person who is just past the crew member.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
