NeNe Leakes Speaks Out About Boycotting Bravo On Instagram Live

It’s no secret that ”Real Housewives Of Atlanta” OG NeNe Leakes has been upset following her departure from the show. Rumors swirled all summer, and she officially announced in September she wouldn’t be returning.

Nene tweeted, “I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation. There has been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard. And I have made the tough and difficult decision to not be a part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 13. It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”

Yesterday, she shared on her social media accounts that she was boycotting Bravo and shared a link to her petition to have her fans sign. She tweeted, ”Y’all ready to start this boycott yet? What has happened behind the scenes is WRONG! While others were being promoted, BLACK WOMEN who created shows, created genres, built franchises, and built networks were being DEMOTED…TURN OFF YOUR TV’S.”

She continued tweeting, ”Sign the petitions when you see them, repost the boycott flyers when you see them, turn off your TVs.”

Nene didn’t stop there. Today she went on Instagram live with civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and further detailed the treatment she received as a housewife and the discrimination she received. She said she never thought this would happen or that she would be in this situation.

She detailed how she was the biggest star on the franchise and how other housewives received promotions instead of her. Nene mentioned that many people were afraid to speak out, but she continued anyway. She received a lot of support in the comments during her live, thanking her for being brave.

Reality TV star Joseline Hernandez stepped into The Shade Room and commended Nene for speaking out. Joseline wrote, ”Good! I want Nene too. @NeneLeakes, I’m here to support you.”
