‘Birds of a Feather Flock Together’: Fans Call Out Pot-Stirring Reality Stars Jennifer Williams and Nene Leakes After Photo Op

Stars of various Bravo and VH1 reality shows have promoted their programming on Instagram Sunday, but when “Basketball Wives” star Jennifer Williams did so she wound up with some nasty comments.

Williams uploaded a pic posing with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Nene Leakes on Sunday, April 7.

“A basketball wife & an ATL housewife @neneleakes #TuneIn #VH1 #Bravo #SundayFunday #TrulyEntertainment #LA 💋” Williams captioned the post.

The reality TV stars were catching up while Leakes was in Beverly Hills, California, to promote her upcoming MTV movie, “How High 2.”

Those in Williams’ comments section were none too pleased to see Leakes and the L.A. resident together. Picking on them for their antics on their respective shows, followers held nothing back.

“They say misery loves company….”

“They both d same…. birds of a feather flock together…👏”

“Two haters ……. With no friends.”

“When misery meets company.”

Williams found herself in the center of drama on “Basketball Wives” last season when she showed up unannounced to a trip in Amsterdam to establish once and for all she had nothing to do with the rumor that Evelyn Lozada slept with Shaunie O’Neal’s ex. Williams’ arrival led Malaysia Pargo to confront her over disparaging remarks Williams allegedly made concerning Lozada’s daughter. Things culminated in Pargo tossing a table in Williams’ direction, which got blocked by security.

As for Leakes’ issues, she’s pushed all her friends away — especially
Cynthia Bailey— after the season 11 “RHOA” reunion taped in March.

“After 11 seasons I finally realize that these girls are my co-workers,” Leakes explained during an Instagram Live stream that month. “They all were trying to secure the bag because half of them are boring so they had no other choice but to come for me — they tried to come [for me], how ’bout that. … These girls come on this show playing checkers. I’m already over here playing chess. It’s so ridiculous for me to for them to [act] like, ‘Let’s all link up together and act like we’re nice’ and stuff when they really aren’t.”

Leakes specifically fell out with Bailey after she claimed the model lied about Kenya Moore attending an event.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
