Did NeNe Leakes Get a Nose Job?
NeNe Leakes is all about keeping it real.
She owns up to her stripping past. She lets the world in on her diet and training regimen.
But there’s apparently one area of her life where NeNe is no more real than Kate Gosselin’s love for her children: the reality star’s nose.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star stepped out this week at the Dancing Stars of Atlanta Benefit for Alzheimers, and it was evident to all in attendance that something was different than before. Compare, contrast and judge for yourself:
NeNe Leakes before… and alledgly after her plastic surgery. Notice anything different in the region between her eyes and mouth?
Bryson Bryant, Son of NeNe Leakes, Arrested on Marijuana Charge
For once, drama involving someone on The Real Housewives of Atlanta is NOT being scripted.
Bryson Bryant, the oldest son of NeNe Leakes, was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge on March 7.
Bryant is well known to any long-time Bravo viewer. During the first season of the show, Leakes looked at colleges with him.
“Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson,” NeNe said in the statement. “Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner. My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won’t be the last.
“Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse. I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I’ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.”
We’ll be glad to, but will NeNe do the same? The Real Housewives of Atlanta was picked up for a third season today, after all.
NeNe Leakes: Still a Real Housewife
Following rumors that she and frenemy Kim Zolciak might be fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes is finally addressing the chatter.
She told Sister2Sister Magazine that she hasn’t heard anything negative about her status on the Bravo series and:
“This is all I can tell you. Every housewife has been invited back.”
Reports have indicated that Leakes and Zolciak were demanding larger paychecks, along with many other “diva-esque requests.” This is truly shocking for any regular viewer of the show… NOT!
Added NeNe:
“They try to lock you in for a number of years. We all signed up for a third season when we signed on from day one. If anybody has been fired, nobody knows anything about it. We know nothing about it. I don’t know where the rumor came from.”
Leakes also denied that Tameka Raymond, Usher’s ex-wife, would be cast on the show.
Are you glad NeNe will be sticking around?
Real Housewives of Atlanta Spoilers: Kim Zolciak & NeNe Leakes Acting Like Divas, May Be Fired
They’ve helped make The Real Housewives of Atlanta a hit for Bravo, but reports say Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes may not be invited back for a new season.
Producers are looking to replace the busty, loud-mouthed and constantly feuding stars, as “things with NeNe and Kim have been intense” on and off the set.
The frenemies are reportedly demanding bigger paychecks from Bravo for the upcoming season and producers are “fed up with their diva-esque requests.”
A source says that Bravo realizes the risks of cutting Kim and NeNe loose, but “feels it is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it.”
They’re serious enough that they’re “taking meetings with notable, wealthy Atlanta women” about joining the show in Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes’ place.
While Bravo had no comment on the reported cast shakeup, another source close to the matter said only that “no decisions on Season 3 have been made.”
Are you upset NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak may get the axe?
NeNe Leakes Takes Michael Lohan’s Advice
A couple weeks ago, NeNe Leakes confronted Michael Lohan on The Insider.
Please, don’t ask us why those two were somehow featured on this entertainment news program.
In response to The Real Housewife of Atlanta telling him to suck it, Lohan said NeNe should lose some weight (though he used more colorful wording). Based on an OK! Weekly article, it looks like Leakes is taking that advice.
“My trainer has taught me to eat breakfast,” Leakes said of fitness guru Tammy Stokes. “She said, ‘NeNe, you have to bite something in the morning to get your metabolism going.’ So I’ve learned to do that, and it works.
“Then I eat my lunch: lots of salads with chicken. I love to go out to eat for dinner, [but] I never order an entrée. The portion sizes today are very large. So I’ll order an appetizer.”
Who said Michael Lohan doesn’t do any good in the world? Oh. Right.
Everybody says that.
NeNe Leakes: Yes, I Was a Stripper
As a Real Housewife of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has finally owned up to what some may consider a real shady past:
The reality TV star is a former stripper.
In her memoir, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, Leakes tells all about her past abusive relationships, admitting that they drove her to take a job as a stripper at an Atlanta club years ago.
“Yes, I was a stripper, a woman who took her clothes off and danced for dollars,” she writes. “Let the judgment ensue. I mean, it’s easy enough to do, right?”
You heard her, readers! Judge and comment away!
How much would you pay to see NeNe Leakes nude?
NeNe’s story, while clearly publicized for attention and money, is actually intriguing.
She turned to dirty dancing because the relationship with the father of her oldest child had just ended and “my son was in private school, his father wasn’t chipping in for pull-ups or food, I had no job and no money coming in, the rent was past due, and the super told me and my roommate that our condo owner was about to put us out.
So I did what I had to do.”
Does she regret it? Not one bit. Leakes said the experienced was “the ultimate power trip,” adding:
“With every piece of clothing I took off, the more I got my life back. I worked this body like a well-oiled machine, and every movement got me closer to my goal of financial independence for me and my child.”
Interesting. Perhaps this was the motivation for Miley Cyrus’ performance at the Teen Choice Awards.
