‘You Could Neva’: Nene Leakes Seemingly Shades ‘RHOA’ Co-Stars with ‘Reading In Red’ Look

Nene Leakes is apparently too hot to trot.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star served looks on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen, while managing to throw a little shade at her castmates. She took to Instagram on Monday, March 2 and posted a photo that showed her dressed in a red, one-shoulder dress with sequins, and that cinched at the waist.

Leakes was dolled up from head to toe and rocked a full face of makeup. She sported her hair in loose blond tresses and posed sitting in a chair with her hand on her hip.

“You girls could neva ☝🏾,” the 52-year-old wrote. She added in a separate post, “Giving you guys a little tase of Ne! Okurrrr”

Fans gaped over Leakes’ stunning look, while mentioning her seemingly shade caption.

On the current season of “RHOA,” Leakes has found herself on the outs with a lot of her co-stars and friends including Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore.

Although she seemingly made amends with Williams and Bailey on the show, Leakes said her costars should prepare for an explosive reunion.

“These girls … they’re gonna get it, let me tell you,” Leakes recently told People magazine. “This isn’t a threat, it’s a promise.

“And I’m going to be beat from head to toe while I do it, sitting there with a full face, wig, dress, high heels this tall, looking fabulous, and tearing the house down,” the mother of two added. “I’m going to get these girls and do it very good and walk right on out and sleep just fine. Is my money in my account? Thank you. The queen is here, you can never wear the crown. They’re all wearing tiaras.”

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.
