NeNe: I Felt Phaedra's Pain

NeNe Leakes explains why she had been reaching out to Phaedra Parks.

By Nene Leakes

It always amazes me how these ladies like to point fingers. It's always somebody else's fault rather than admitting, "Yeah I was wrong," or, "Maybe I shouldn't have said that at that time," or, "Maybe I wasn't there for her because I had my own problems going on." It's always easy to point the finger at your girl NeNe and hope that no one will see their true colors!

Let's be clear about a few things: Phaedra and I are not close! We're not BFFs! One of the great things about NeNe Leakes is that I have a heart. Phaedra is a woman, and woman to woman I felt her pain! Hell, I had been there before! It doesn't matter what it looks like on the street, you never know what a woman is going through behind closed doors, and I could clearly see Phaedra was going through something and she was in pain. She's a mom with two young boys, and all I saw was myself, so I had to reach out. I wanted to give her advice on how to get through during tough times like these. Sometimes you just need somebody to talk to. Somebody to cry to. It's always during times like these when you get to see the true colors of those that call themselves your friend!

When the info was brought up about the Phaedra cheating rumor from Miss I Don't Have a Story Line, the first thought that came to mind was something my aunt told me last year after the reunion show. She said, "NeNe, you might be hurting now and she may have fooled some people for the moment, but the truth will surface. You sit back, be quiet, and her true colors will show up. People will see her for who she is!" You guys saw with your own eyes what Team Petty does week after week, so speak on it! Blow their ass up!

The Chocolate Rumor Explodes

This is where I burst into my fake tears, because I have been called a whore and I'm innocent. #Girlbye #Weseeyou.

Stay Fierce and Fabulous,
NeNe Leakes
