NeNe Leakes on Rumors She Could Be Joining 'Fashion Police' and 'RHOA' Season 7
Reality star NeNe Leakes joined “Extra’s” Tracey Edmonds at Universal Studios Hollywood, where she opened up about rumors she might be joining “Fashion Police” and the new season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
Leakes, who has her own fashion line, called Joan Rivers “irreplaceable,” adding, “We all love her, she’s fantastic, she’s given me some amazing advice about my career, I love Joan.”
She continued, “If the opportunity comes, it’s a possibility I might, I might not… I’m a fashion designer, love fashion and I’ll give you a good read every now and then so it may not be a bad place for me to be.”
She also dished on “RHOA” and rumors she was paid $1.5 million to return for Season 7. “I was not offered $1.5, let’s be clear, yeah, it’s a lot nicer than that.”
Will she return for Season 8? “This is my 7th season, I’m the OG of the Atlanta housewives, I’m the only original girl standing. For me, you have to grow up at some point in life and career, I don’t wanna be bickering, arguing, snatching weaves every single day, just doesn’t make me feel good.”
NeNe also commented on “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Teresa Giudice’s recent sentencing. “It hurt me so much because I like Teresa a lot… I haven’t reached out to Teresa yet. I knew so many people are reaching out to her. Me and Teresa, we talk like real… I feel so bad because she’s a mom, I’m a mom, you know how it feels when your kid spends the night with somebody you’re like you’ve got to come home by Sunday, just imagine going away for a whole year, leaving your kids behind, I just don’t know what to do.”
