RHOA: What Happened to Sheree Whitfield and NeNe Leakes - EXCLUSIVE



LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – What happened to Sheree Whitfield, what happened between Sheree Whitfield and NeNe Leakes off camera, and did NeNe Leakes get Sheree Whitfield fired by Bravo?

Tonight, some of what happened between NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield is addressed by Andy Cohen. Bravo calls tonight’s telecast a WWHL episode. But it’s basically a RHOA episode aired in the RHOA timeslot. Bravo should do these episodes more often since much is left uncovered in these reunion episodes.

First, in April 2012, false reports hit online claiming that NeNe Leakes got Sheree fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. MediaTakeOut claimed that NeNe Leakes was the person behind the alleged firing of Sheree. “NeNe put an ultimatum to producers . . . either fire Sheree . . . or she’s leaving. Producers decided to stick with NeNe . . . and they gave Sheree her walking papers”. LALATE reported exclusively at the time that the report was false. “I knew they were going to find away to blame you” tweeted one friend to NeNe at the time. Leakes replied “don’t I get blamed for everything wrong”. She added “Look I’m powerful but I ain’t that powerful.”

Second, Sheree Whitfield was not “fired” by Bravo. Bravo’s contracts are only for one season. So in Sheree’s case, she was not invited back.

Third, NeNe Leakes says to Cohen tonight that something which happened with her and Sheree off camera created a huge fight. Cohen asks “was there some one moment between you and Sheree that broke the two of you up?” Nene replied “Sheree of all the girls is the one I will never have anything else to do with. I think she is evil, mean. She is the true b-h and that is not cute.” She added “to be honest, Sheree and I had an argument before the cameras started rolling. It was our first housewives meeting before the producers. I told her that she was not being a good friend. She would never tell you anything but ask you for information. she would never tell me stuff. She was super secretive.”

LALATE can also report that Leakes was furious that Sheree used the arrest of Nene’s son as an arguing point during the 2012 reunion show. Leakes was unhappy with Sheree discussing her son’s arrest. Brice was arrested for allegedly stealing two Mach 3 razors from Wal-Mart work valued at twenty-eight dollars. His bond was set at $301.25.

On BravoTv, fans contended that Sheree’s reference to Brice was not proper during the reunion. “I was disappointed that you brought NeNe’s kid into the discussion during the reunion. Wow you are reaching in the wrong area.”

NeNe said at the time “Brice didn’t steal because he was in need, he simply stole because he was giving in to peer pressure, seeking attention, looking for something to do, and being silly… I’m no different from any other parent; I want the absolute best for my son and always want see him on top!”

 NeNe Leakes, Cynthia Bailey Battle Gay Remarks by Porsha Stewart

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey gay remarks allegedly said by Porsha Stewart heat up RHOA tonight. Porsha Stewart is accused of asking are NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey gay, and even calling their female relationship “unnatural” and insinuating that they are lesbians. And Cynthia says the revelation came from Kenya Moore.

Cynthia tells viewers tonight that she and NeNe Leakes are not gay. But she wants to confront Porsha with two issues. First, did Porsha accuse her and NeNe of being lesbians. And second, did Porsha use the expression “unnatural relationship” to against Cynthia and NeNe.

“A pageant is quickly approaching. It is slow I’m not happy with the turnout. I’m a bit concerned”, Cynthia tells Porsha. But she adds “I need to ask you something. I went to play golf with Kenya.”

Porsha replies “Grandma Kenya needs to stop. She is the shadiest person I have ever come in contact with.” Bailey continues “Kenya was saying Porsha has had a lot to say about you and NeNe’s friendship. She said that it was unnatural. Maybe you guys could be gay.” Porsha is shocked. “Gay?”

Kenya’s tape is run. “When I first met Porsha, we talked about your friendship with NeNe. Well she was gossiping like they seem to have the most unnatural relationship between two women, almost like you too might be gay.” Cynthia replies “what? did she say we were gay? did she insinuate? “yes, she said it”.”

Bailey tells Porsha “don’t ever make me feel like you are trying to insinuate anything like that”.

I Dream of NeNe: NeNe Leakes Wedding Spinoff Confirms 2012 Exclusive



LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – A NeNe Leakes spinoff series “I Dream of NeNe” was first exclusively broke in August 2012 by LALATE. Today, I Dream of Nene was confirmed by Bravo and Leakes as coming to the channel.

In August 2012, LALATE broke exclusively a secret project underway for NeNe. While Leakes had previously told news that she has being offered a spinoff series, the name of such a project remained unknown at the time. That was until LALATE broke last summer details about a secret project underway at a Bravo production company. The show is called “I Dream of Nene”; the title originates from an October 2010 episode of RHOA by the same name.

The revelation was uncovered first by LALATE from a 2011 Trademark application, still active during summer 2012. Bravo’s producer True Entertainment got the trademark under the “intent to use” aka IB classification. Since the mark was still “live” aka active, True had been renewing the mark.

Leakes confirmed the LALATE exclusive today. She told news  “YES the rumors r true! I will marry my love AGAIN! I Dream Of Nene-The Wedding special coming soon!” She added “Here’s me & my love! We luv 2 laugh! Thanks @Bravotv I Dream Of Nene-The Wedding Special coming soon”.

NeNe Leakes Half Sisters, Engagement Ring, Ignite RHOA Reunion 2013


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Who are NeNe Leakes’ half sisters? How big, and how many carats is NeNe Leakes’ engagement ring?

Tonight, NeNe Leakes returns to the RHOA Reunion 2013 part 2 with a stunning revelation. NeNe Leakes half sisters were pursued by Phaedra Parks during the first season for “low down dirty tricks”, claims NeNe tonight. Phaedra denies the same.

NeNe says “I don’t try to do low down dirty things to people.” Phaedra says she doesn’t as well. But NeNe calls her out. “Do we really have to go there to discuss what you have done to me so low down and dirty?”

After questioning by Andy Cohen, NeNe goes there. “Phaedra, in the first season, when I said I did not know you, what you did behind my back. You went and go and talk to my half sisters who I had not had a relationship with in over eight years. You went and sat with them and tried to dig up dirt [about me] and then you took them to your son’s birthday party?”

Who are NeNe Leakes’ half sisters, and were pictures shown of the RHOA previously? Phaedra replies “
Before I even came on the show, your sisters had come to my office quite a few times. So don’t get it twisted NeNe.”

NeNe fires back. “I got to get it twisted. I just had a conversation with my sister. She told me everything that you did. You need to owe up to your own wrongdoing. What was your purpose of sitting somewhere with my half sisters?”

Leakes fumes further “What if I sit up on the show and get with your mama, or your aunt, or you’re ex boyfriend and try to bring your harm.” She adds “we all work on the show together, I am not trying to like you, but I don’t have to sit and try to do dirty things to you. You do have a past.”

Meantime, if Phaedra isn’t blinded by NeNe’s remarks, she can be blinded by NeNe’s engagement ring. It’s 15 carat. NeNe has told news that the ring represents the number of years that she and Gregg were married previously.

NeNe Leakes Engagement Ring: Kandi Burruss Not Jealous – EXCLUSIVE

NeNe Leakes Engagement Ring: Kandi Burruss Not Jealous - EXCLUSIVE


LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – NeNe Leakes’ engagement ring prompted a hilarious Kandi Burruss moment in the RHOA 2013 reunion. The enormous NeNe Leakes’ engagement ring delivered a peculiar reaction from Kandi with viewers wondering if the bling shade was accidental by Andy Cohen or not. And is Kandi jealous of NeNe Leakes’ much bigger ring? Kandi tells news that she is not jealous of anyone on the show.

How big is NeNe Leakes’ engagement ring? It’s 15 carat. NeNe has told news that the ring represents the number of years that she and Gregg were married previously.

In January, Kandi dominated a Sister 2 Sister report asking if her engagement ring was a merely a “retail” bought ring. The same article featured debating critics listing Kandi’s ring as valued at either $40,000 or $11,000. “Us Weekly reports that it’s a two-carat ring designed by Gregg Ruth and shipped in from Las Vegas”, reported the magazine. But another report said you can find the same ring on a website where “the MSRP listed there is about $11,000″.

Last night, RHOA viewers commented about Kandi’s reaction about NeNe’s ring. Was she jealous? “U can c Kandi’s envy when Andy says how big a bling u got. honey shine bright like a diamond.” Someone else wrote “Does Kandi want that ring Nene Leakes has on? LOL #RHOA”

Kandi has since told news “Before I take off let me say I am not jealous of no woman! Especially not any on my show. They have nothing I want or can’t get. #Fact”

NeNe Leakes Spinoff Show “I Dream of NeNe” Gets Bravo Wedding: EXCLUSIVE

NeNe Leakes Spinoff Show I Dream of NeNe Gets Wedding: EXCLUSIVE



LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – NeNe Leakes’ spinoff show “I Dream of NeNe” will feature her wedding to Greg Leakes and will be coming to Bravo TV by no earlier than fall 2013, LALATE can exclusively report. Since 2011, LALATE has been reporting exclusively on the secret Bravo project called “I Dream of NeNe”. The project was initially conceived by Bravo’s RHOA production company True Entertainment as a Nene spinoff. When LALATE first broke the details two years ago, Leakes was split from Greg. Now that the two are engaged, and planning a wedding, True is seeking to use the shelved project as the platform for the wedding-fueled spinoff.

In summer 2011, LALATE broke details about the secret project. The show is called “I Dream of Nene”; the title originates from an October 2010 episode of RHOA by the same name.

The show’s production path, while kept secret by Bravo in-house, couldn’t be kept secret by public trademark records obtained by LALATE. True Entertainment is Bravo’s production company for Real Housewives of Atlanta. But in September 2010 True obtained a trademark for the series “I Dream of NeNe”. In September 2012 it was renewed.

True, obtained the trademark in a category called IB, “intent to use”. “If the applicant is not using the mark in commerce on all of the goods/services listed in the NOA, the applicant must file an extension request and the required fee(s) to avoid abandonment. Because extension requests are granted in 6 month increments, applicant must continue to file extension requests every 6 months. A total of 5 extension requests may be filed.” True has since filed an extension for Leakes.

Part of the debate for Leakes over the last year has been the following. First, she has had to balance the New Normal and RHOA schedule. Second, she is working on a secret syndicated talk show project as well. That remains one of her top priorities as well. Third, Leakes had shelved the spinoff platform initially since it didn’t fit her lifestyle when split from Greg. Now that the two are together and set to marry, Leakes is aware of the programming landscape. Leakes has herself, Tamra Barney, and Kandi Burruss all possible programming decision for wedding spinoffs at Bravo.

Last night, Kandi Buruss suggested to news that Nene’s show is already in production. “They have a lot of history. It’s cool if they’re [Kim and Nene] gonna be friends again. I mean, maybe we’ll see her on NeNe’s show. On the wedding.”

Nene has said of her wedding “It’s kind of getting big, and it might be on television.” Greg has added “It doesn’t matter if it was on television or another planet, I’ll take her wherever I can get her.”
