‘Nene Just Threw Her Phone’: Fans Think Kandi Burruss May Have Just Sent Nene Leakes Into a Tizzy Over This Pic

A new photo of Kandi Burruss posing with pals Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey has “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans wondering how Nene is dealing with all of it.

On July 11, Burruss uploaded a photo with Moore and Bailey to her Instagram account. The women were all smiles as they stood just outside urban bath shop and enrichment lounge Art Bath Soul in Atlanta.

“#funtimes with @cynthiabailey10 & @thekenyamoore ❤️” the singer wrote in the photo’s caption.

Burruss’ followers promptly began mentioning Leakes, who famously has been on the outs with the majority of her co-stars since last season’s reunion filmed in March.

“Nene finna flip ha wiiiiiig #whewchile 🤣🤣🤣”

“Someone check on nene 😂”

“Nene is gonna be pissed this season.”

“😍😍😍 Nene just threw her phone!!!😂🤣”

“Nene gon cuss you out 😂😂😂”

Fans will recall Leakes famously took aim at Bailey and Burruss and claimed the two conspired against her when Moore showed up to Bailey’s Seagram’s Escapes beverage launch in October. The event, which aired in March, served as the season 11 finale of “RHOA.”

“Everything that happened at that party, she set me up,” Leakes told E!’s “Daily Pop” in April of a recording of Bailey telling Burruss she wanted “to make sure we was on the same page setting up how Kenya got” to the party.

But Burruss and Bailey made it clear there was no plot going against their former pal.

“That did not happen at the Seagram’s party,” Burruss said on her web show “Speak on It” of the infamous call with Bailey in which the singer told the model she was mic’d. “That happened right before we walked into the scene with Nene and Tanya.”

Still, it may not be all bad — at least between Burruss and Leakes. The O.G. star snapped a photo with Burruss two days ago after they filmed a lunch scene with Co – Noodles / Sushi / Bar owner Anton Jones.

“And…that’s a wrap! You see who it is! Thank you ladies for choosing my restaurant for lunch! It was a pleasure,” Jones captioned the July 10 photo of him posing between the two longtime “RHOA” stars.

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.
