- NeNe talks about her relationship with Kim, Kandi's singing, and her visit home with Lisa!
Thanks to all of you who went out and purchased my book Never Make the Same Mistake Twice! The book tour has me really busy and I haven't been able to blog so I have a few things to touch on briefly from last week's episode.
Kim and I have never been as close as the show portrayed us to be. So whomever Kim decides to befriend is NOT a problem for me. I know who my true friends are!
King Tut
I had only been around Kandi one time prior to her coming to King Tut. I'm a very fun and outgoing person and was trying to be a gracious host for an event I put together. From the moment Kandi entered the room, she was giving me nasty looks, which continued throughout the night. I had no clue as to why or where this was coming from. I'm a strong woman so for women who LACK STRENGTH I can be INTIMIDATING!
Kandi's singing
It always tickles me how people change things around! I don't walk around giving my opinion. I was asked what I thought about her singing. I CLEARLY said that she didn't blow me away, she sounded alright! How that got changed into she couldn't sing, I have no clue. I just love it when somebody ask you your opinion, you give it to them then they get mad and call u a hater because you didn't give them the answer they wanted to hear.

NeNe, I like you, you bring a lot of spunk and sass to the show. I do applaud you for keeping it real but sometimes you take keeping it real to another level. Kandi wasn't really giving you nasty looks. your personality is strong and out there. Sometimes its a lot for a person to take in at first. As for calling her ghetto I don't think so. How would you have felt if she said that you were country ghetto. I didn't see anything that would have given you the impression that she's ghetto. Kandi seems to be quite reserved. She also is an observer she watches people and whats going on around her. So NeNe try to look at it from my point of view. Don't judge a person to quickly.

Words can not express the way I feel about you. You bring Reality to REALITY TV. Thank you my big beautiful sister. I say big because you are tall, heavyset and beautiful (LOL) Just like me. I really wish I could get to meet you and hang out one day. Maybe have a drink or something. I would fly to HOTLANTA just to meet you!!
Keep on doing what you do, you are doing it great!!

Hi NeNe,
I just wanted to say that you rock!! I am the Program Director for a 12 bed Domestic Violence Shelter in Jesup GA. I go to Atlanta quite a bit for training with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence. I commend you for coming out with your story (both you and Lisa). I am on-call 24 hours a day/7 days a week. I commit my life to this job. I love what I do and what it stands for. I would love to have a copy of your book for my shelter. If you would have any suggestions that I could pass on to my "girls" (as I call them), please email me.
Again, God Bless You and please keep bringing awareness to this issue. My saying is "Domestic Violence Affects Everyone, Not Only One"!!
Sincerely,
Deborah Winn-Smith

I love your spirit Nene, I am at the moment going thru so much you wouldnt believe. A weeks ago I was depress because my illness isnt improving then along comes Season 2. You inspire me to be strong. Thank you for that and dont change (its ok to tone it down a little though, lol). You entertain me and make me smile on my saddest days. God bless you Nene and thats to you and Lisa for staying REAL on the show. Good friends are so difficult to come by and I believe Lisa is a true friend to you. Careful to the 2 of you not to let and Bullcrap come between you.

I only can say is that you need to adjust your attitude, and stop playing the victim. You are always bullying Kim, and have no idea what friendship is and especially loyalty! You give black women a bad name, those who are professional and have also have been through abusive relationships and have over come them. You need to focus more on NENE, and less on demaning Kim. By the way, why do you not attack the other women? I think your spouse may have an attraction to Kim, and you are jealous. Get over it and yourself. And why you are at it, lose some weight and fix your teeth. I love how "SISTER" magazine painted you and fixed all your flaws for their magazine. BRAVO! You notice they wanted your mouth closed. Make sure you get a bridge or inplant for your teeth. From a real black woman.

I just love your personality NeNe!! I think you absolutely make the show! I've never thought of you as a hater at all and you spoke the truth when you said people get mad and call you a hater when you give your honest opinion about something and it's not the answer they want to hear! I wasn't blown away either! LOL! I really think your honesty and strength sometimes intimidates people and maybe they don't know how to react. I wish you all the best! Love the show!

DO-WHAT-YOU-DO, AND BE-WHO-YOU-ARE! I FEEL YOU ARE VERY SMART AT A LOT OF THINGS AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOU COME FROM. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MISUNDERSTAND YOU NE-NE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND YOU ANYWAY. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU IS YOUR FAMILY AND WHAT GOES ON AT HOME. I FEEL IT WILL BE HARD FOR ANY OF YOU TO REALLY BE CLOSE BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE COMMENT WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. ALL THE LITTLE COMMENTS ALONG WITH THE SIDE LAUGHS ARE STILL DISSING JESTERS, ENCOURGING A NEGATIVE VIBE BETWEEN OTHERS. I LOVE THE WAY YOUR HUSBAND STAY ON THE SIDE LINE, YET LET THE WORLD KNOW HE HAS YOUR BACK. FROM ONE STRONG WIFE TO ANOTHER, IT'S ALL OUTSIDE YOUR HOME AND DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

Hi, I love you NeNe, you're my favorite housewife, because you have been through ups and downs in life; you know what is suffering and you know what is triumph; and that makes you different and unique; you're the life of the party, so keep up the good work!!!

Nene,
At the end of the day your real friends and family know who you are and you know the type of person you are; however, I have to say that you are not coming off in a good light this season.
Loved you last season!You are hilarious and the life of the party. You seemed real, but not mean. Maybe part of it is the editing, but this season you come across mostly as mean, petty, jealous and egotistical. It seems like you've said something negative or sort of negative about everything the other ladies have been involved in this season -- from Khandi's singing at the museum,where she wasn't even trying to impress and only sang a little because she was asked to, to Lisa's fashion show.
We loved you for who you seemed to be last season, but you're coming off as extremely negative this season. Remember that the American public likes their celebrities with a dose of humility.
They love you now, but that often turns on a dime if you always come across as egotistical and negative, and they'll easily dislike you. I don't want to see the Atlanta housewives go the way of "Jon and Kate plus 8," where people are completely turned off. Please show some balance.By the way, Sheree, is backstabbing and hitches her wagon to whoever will help her and make her shine. Look how quickly she turned on Kim and embraced you after all the rotten things she said about you in the first season, including that you were not in her class. Kim never said even one-eight of the negative things behind your back as Sheree did.
You know, you never apologized for mocking Kim about her singing that caused the big blow up. Can you not see how that would hurt someone that thought you were her friend? It's not that you questionsed whter she could sing or not,it's the fact you did it behind her back. If you had doubts about her singing, you should have told her in person, should have been real and told her to her face as you like to say you always do. Anyone would have been very hurt by the behind-the-back mocking.
Also, from body language and eye contact, Sheree was so lying at the blowout at the restaurant with you and Kim. You did say you did not know who to believe, and Kim may very well have not been telling the complete truth, but as far as body language and eye contact, etc., Sheree was not telling the truth either. You should definitely watch your back with Sheree.
One more thing, how could you say to Lisa on your walk that Sheree just touched Kim's wig outside the restaurant? Sheree yanked at her wig and Kim had to readjust it. And what's the big deal about the wig. As long as it looks good it shouldn't matter. A wig is the same as having a weave. The only difference is how tightly it's attahced to your head.
Still, I like you. I like your sense of family and the fact that you try to be honest, but sometimes honesty is a crutch for telling people whatever you want and not caring how much those words will hurt people.

I absolutely love you NeNe that is the only reason why I watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta; the other ladies are not real they pretend to like one another, they pretend to agree with one another and they play dress-up in front of the cameras all of the time. NeNe I saw how to tried to reach out to Kandi and she treated you like you were a big joke. Kandi has an attitude problem and I knew you would be the one to set her straight. Lisa told Kandi to leave the whole matter between you and Kim alone and she just had to put her two cent in it.

Nene, you really need to tone it down. Being real and outspoken is one thing. Being a loud mouth acting buffoon is another. And you had the nerve to call Kandi ghetto? Please! She has more going on for self then you ever will, so stop hateing. If Kim didn't want you on her record, it should not have been a problem for you at all. Brush it off and keep it moving. After all, you were writing a book, and good luck with that.

NeNe I love you and all the other girls. I love the way you tell it like you see it or feel it. You have to respect your honesty that's for sure! You aren't fake and you step up and admit what you say. I wish all you girls could be friends and just accept each other for who you are, but it just wouldn't make good tv drama! I have mixed feelings about the Tardy For The Party issue. I think because Kim had invited you to sing this song with her and you had the idea about changing the song to record it, she should have maybe followed her word with that. But, it was her daughter's song and Kim was excited that she finally recorded somthing that sounded good. I think she didn't want to share that spot light for you to bring her down and make it all about you and end up making it another hurtful expierence for her in some kind of way...but Kim may have passed up a chance in mending any problems you two have. It could have brough you two a little more closer if you both were willing. I just hope you have some kind of understanding with that and don't hate her too much for it.

Nene,
your name my dear should be named "HATER". You are who you are i respect that, but damn. Your rude and no your not intimidating you put on a defensive act when you meet new people. Your loud and obnoxious. I cant stand you i thought you were funny in the beginning but now i see that your typical. especially when you turned everything around on Kim saying that she talked trash about you and your hubs well no shit she was upset that you turned things around on her since you started making fun about her singing-you my dear are not a true friend. Your a hater on Kandi because shes young and new. You say she kinda "HOOD" Before she came i thought you were the most 'Ghetto' of all with your big mouth. And your book-your book is a joke just like you.

NeNe, what up, chic? I really like your persona and you're my favorite housewife, as a previous poster mentioned there are only 2-heehee. But I must say you seem like you could be the real peacemaker if you really wanted to. I can tell you like all of the girls, except for Khandi (why? oh y? she's cool and down to earth) I think you should open up to her and bring her into the circle/ I really hope before the season ends that you rounds all these hos up and all of you drop the mess and get back cool. what a different take the show would turn if you all somewhat got along and stopped talking about each other so much. But hence, mess sells. i LOOVVEE your attutude or should I say diva-tude and I still think you are just one of those real down home chics. I love the way you put things in check and are outspoken if needed. You just crack me up. Do you- congratulations on your book deal, and think about what I said about stepping on the otherside of the fence. Bring the love back and don't comment on everything someone else says it only goes back to whomever it was thrown. Sometime we have to just shut our traps to keep the ish down. I know- I'm quite "frank" & outspoken my damn self. O & tell greg hello. I like the fact that he is your sense of reason, but we know he can't do nothin with you!:) Keep it one hundred, girl and let's regroup. keishakat

You crack me up. You on one hand love your girls and the next breath you are slamming them. You blame it on someone asking a question and showing it out of context - hello - don't you think the same thing is happening to Kim? Kim has always said that you both have said things to hurt each other but you are so quick to find fault - and it is never you. I love you but you need to be more open and not so critical of everyone that does not walk the walk you think they should be walking.

NeNe, I can only imagine what the REAL housewives of Atlanta must think of the way you and the other women on the show misrepresent them. I truly enjoyed your performances last year, but this year you have become the poster child for a loud, brash, uncouth, mean, jealous, and illiterate ghetto rat. If you are indeed "the Joneses," as you are so fond of saying, my advice to other upwardly striving young women of color would be to direct their aspirations in anoother direction. Finally, don't hate Kandi just because she has more class in her little fingernail than you do in your entire big body.

I think someone's jealous cause someone is taking all her fans away. Kandi is better than an alright singer. Last year everyone loved NeNe but that's not the case this year. Kandi came on the show and is showing viewers what keepin' 100 really means. NeNe sit down, shut that loud mouth of yours up for 2 seconds, get out a pad and pencil and take some notes from my girl Kandi.

Hi Mrs. Nene,
I watched the show last nite I just wanna say that u girls did extremely well on the alter ego shoots really NICE!!!! I do think Kim should have stuck with your idea on being a "black girl" her pic was the least impressive...also I do think you & the other girls were inconsiderate when Kim fell, it seems as if she really hurt herself....but on the other note u girls r truly the best housewives I've seen yet.....

I am not sure how you define strength. If you define it as being brash, classless, loud-mouthed and having a lack of refinement, then you certainly fit the bill. The only palatable characters on the show are Kandi and Kim. Those two are too good to be on this show. You are a 'hood girl (not a woman) who has no control of her tongue (read what the Bible says about not controlling the tongue), Sherree is just like you w/the addition of being a wanna-be-something: she is sad. Lisa, well no comment. Not sure how you have a husband...............he must be desperate.

NeNe I am so shocked at how you are acting towards Kandi! I have noticed such animosity and dislike in the things you say about her and to her on every show this season and Im disappointed. I LOVED you last season, I thought you were funny, down to earth, and a great person...is that how the editing potrayed YOU last season?? Was that you or has the fame and fans you have gathered along the way caused you to have a "big" head? Honey Kandi was making dollars and in the limelight as a real celebrity, a musician, long before you came along and you should give her props where they are due. She is great person and I am shocked you have some problem with her. If anything, being you both are GA girls, as I am, you would be the close ones making the show. Instead you are turning everyone off and losing a lot of your fan base.

Nene, I was really feeling you last season and still like you but since Kandi been on you have somewhat changed. It's like you've knwn her even before the show and has some sort of animosity towards her. Frm the begining when you and Dwight were shopping for you home you called her Ghetto, to me she is not ghetto you seem to be the ghetto than her. I dont think Kandi ever crossed you wrong but you have crossed her on a number of shows then i think when she started getting back at you it makes you dislike her b/c she doesnt back down. I wish yall would all just get along, it's 09 and like Obama said Time for change. Luv ya Girl!!!

As for Kandi, I've always liked her even when Nene Leakes didn't exist...so hats off to KANDI. If you would just settle down and stop trying to be the center of attention you would be aight! Just act like a grown up and stop being jealous when one of the other housewives hangout with someone else. I'm sure there's a lot of love to go around

Nee Nee,
I watch the show faithfully. You refered to Kandi as being ghetto, Kandi conducts herself with more class than I have ever seen you exibit. And yes Kandi has a beautiful voice.
While you are hating on Kandi for her talent and Kim for having the courage to pursue her dream of recording, let's see what you would sound like if you attempted to sing. If your singing voice is anyting like you hoodrat speaking voice then we already know that that record will be a flop, But then again Kandi can make anyone sound good even you.
Why are you such a hater, why do you use Kim as a punching bag. It is very cowardly that you Lisa and Sheree gang up on Kim like a pack of dogs and boost each other up. Do you ever have anything nice to say about anyone? You are the ultimate backstabber, troublemaker, gossiper, hoodrat with money.

Hello Mrs NENE.. I would like to say that I really do enjoy the show and you are one of my fav housewives but I sometimes wonder if what you portray on t.v. and who you really are is lost? You have a great love for your family and true friends but, at the end of the day all which you speak of is not alwyas positive. I have many difficult things I have to deal with everyday and many people who hate on me and put me down but, my thing is this... at the end of the night when I lay my head down would GOD approve of all I have said and done today? Think about it?

Nene, I get that you are tripping over the Bravo created ego that has been growing episode by episode but I can honestly say, you need to take it down a notch. I'm not even a fan of Kim's but if you came to my home and mocked me to a point where the room is silent, it's time for you to check yourself in the mirror. You can always fall back on "I just tell it like it is" but at the same time, I don't see you bashing yourself. I know you consider yourself "outspoken". I'd go head to head with you in that respect any day of the week in that respect (or lack there of). The difference is, you're really starting to behave in ways that I would find offensive (and that is saying something). You're always going to be NeNe but do you really want to people to see you as the woman who can hurt and offend people by using the "I just tell it like it is" approach? Whatever. Maybe you do. Take the crown off babe before it turns from diamonds into thorns. It's becoming painfully obvious and ridiculously irritating that your "celebrity" is based on... what exactly? It sure isn't talent. I'd say humor but you're wearing that one gift out.

In my opinion NeNe was hating on Kandi when she tried to say Kandi's singing wasn't all that. I think Kandi can really sing and NeNe was just upset because she has no real talent. Basically all she does is chase down rumors and GOSSIP!!! If her family was not evicted and experiencing financial difficulties, then why worry about people saying that. As her husband stated....LET IT GO!! But, of course, they need that in the show for drama so we will continue to watch.

I have been following this show since the first season and it appears everything is more "staged" now. Nene, you by far are my favorite housewife. However, you come across a little more "catty" this season than "real". It amazes me how in this season everyone has so much going on as far as career wise (books, fashion lines, music, wigs (?) etc.) but the main focus of every episode is "who said what about who". Make your money, enjoy your life, and don't dwell in the drama/foolishness :).

Nene, you are one of my favorites from the show...but I must say that sometimes it seems that you do hate on Kandi just a little bit. It may well be the editing that makes it seem this way, but I have to admit that when you called Kandi "ghetto & hood" I was suprised because I have never seen her act either way and if I had to say who is more ghetto...I would have to say you...but this is what everyone loves about you.

I personally think that NeNe is jealous. Kandi can blow in ways NeNe wish she could. It's a shame that as black women instead of uplifting each other, we hate on each other. When someone say negative things, they are only speaking of themselves. I feel like Nene is insecure and loves to be center of attention, if someone else out shines her she speaks negatively about them. Well it's not hard to out shine someone like NeNe. I am a huge fan of Kandi.

Hey Nene, please when you get a chance blame this season on the "editing" cuz I think Bravo is protraying you just a little too much over the top. Your brashness, and in-sincerity is coming through on the big screen......take a time out, re-group my sister dont worry there will be another season!

NENE I LOVED YOUR ALTER EGO! I THINK ALL OF YOU DID A GOOD JOB WITH THE CHARACTERS. I'M WITH YOU ON THE CANDI THING. SHE SOUNDS ALRIGHT BUT I'VE HEARD BETTER. I HEARD SOMEONE SAY SHE WAS THE BEST SINGER IN XSCAPE, SO NOT TRUE, KEISHA WAS THE BEST IN THE GROUP. ANYWAY, YOU GO GURL!! LOVE YA!

Ne-Ne, I loved your part in the alter-ego shoot (as far as your actual egos go). Nevertheless, Kandi has a beautiful voice and I really feel that it was fowl for you to say that she was alright -- although you are entitled to your opinion. And I am going to leave this comment where it is because I can go on and on about how I feel about you in the show.

TO POSTER MIRENDA 8/28 @ 4:11: I think u did a better job with expressing what I was trying to say. NeNe may not be too receptive to my post. But I hope she is open to what you said. I really felt the love in your message. I've read so many comments and is surprised so many ppl seem to love the new NeNe. But I agree with u, she's not the same NeNe I fell in love with either.

NeNe, I hope that this season is an "editing" problem. I suggest you take that story & stick to it.It seems that every week I tune in you are being portrayed as loud, jealous, mean spirited, & diva-ish you are not the same NeNe I wanted to blast Sheree for(party list) in last season. I know you're trying to come back strong, but please slow down! I'm sure Anderson Cooper might have a job for you.

Why don't you write your blogs weekly after the show? Is Kim the only one that really cares about the show and fans? It seem as though the you'll respond to blogs that Kim writes.

Hey NeNe,
I saw a fun loving NeNe last season. I don't know what happened to her. Are the producers encouraging u to stir things up? It's a business so I wouldn't be surprised. I am really confused with what u are saying about Kandi. Of course I am not there so only u know if she is giving u crossed looks. But I just came from her blog and she didn't say one bad thing about ANYONE. Even on the show I haven't heard her say one bad thing. So u are really making yourself look bad with the negative comments towards Kandi.
NeNe I am not so sure about your level of feeling secure about yourself. There was a clear undertone of negativity when u spoke about Lisa's parents. Almost like u were laughing at them. That wasn't cool at all.
Why did u put Kim on speaker phone with Lisa but didn't inform Kim that Lisa was listening to the conversation? That wasn't cool either.
Your alter ego shoot.........I guess u want to send the statement that u are not trying to hide your past..........we get it. I love your new look and clothes. I always thought u had a beautiful figure but that pole thing was ghetto.
You're just really coming across as negative this season and I think (could be wrong) that ppl liked u b/c you were real. Being negative isn't really being real. It's a sign of insecurity.

Hi Nene!
I just finished your book tonight, just bought it yesterday! Loved it!!! I will be passing it on to a friend tomorrow. You are by far my favorite character because you are so real & I love that about you. If there were more people in this world like you, it could really be a better place. Great job on the book, I would love a part II, but would suggest placing some pictures in the book so that readers will get a visual of what you are discussing. Can't wait for more great seasons to watch!

NeNE;
You are funny to watch but I don't think you are friend material. Why is it last season you would not accept Kim and Sherre's friendship as well as being friends yourself?
When Sherre saw your popularity on the show she reached out to you and discarded Kim. Duh!! You are a control friek just like Vickie from the OC. I'd love to see the two of you stuck together for a week, now that would be a show!!! Wake-up to Sherre's manipulation. Miki

Ne Ne, you are still my favorite, and I certainly know when you say someone is "Hood or Ghetto," you do not mean it in an insulting way and that you are really insinuating that person is a strong black woman who is not taking any wooden nickels.

I don't know what the problem is with Kim talking about any of you. You all talk about each other so what is the big deal. You have talked about Sharee, Lisa, Kim and Kandi. Kim needs to wake up because the way I see it Kandi is the closest one to a friend. You NeNe are a trouble maker you start stuff and then you get everyone involved. Don't say you're not jealous because you are when Kandi and Kim were in they little clique your face stated it all you just want to have control.

Nene, oh Nene!
I've been your fan since day 1. And I've became more than your average fan, because I do believe that you are a role model. You show your personality yet you keep everything classy and sophisticated. You show your true woman skills in how you keep your household together, including your children and marriage. You also show that you can have FUN and make a joke of life but also cherish the most important memories and forgive and forget the ones that need to be. You are truly a strong, beautiful, black woman and a role model as well :)

I was so very disappointed by your calling Kandi "ghetto." Actually, whenever Black women feel the need to put other Black women down, it is sad. So few of us get the opportunity to be on television like you and it is so very unfortunate when those who do have the platform you have been given, the first thing they do is use it to tear someone to shreds for all the world to see. Last year at the reunion show all of you claimed you had not given any thought to representing Black women or Black people in general. I hoped you had given some thought to that between seasons. Oh well. To be honest, I had never heard of Kandi (or any of you) until the show. But, as I recall, she was not among the group having a public fight at what appeared to be a very upscale Atlanta restuarant. That little ghetto fest included you, my dear. That fact, and lots of others, make you more "ghetto" than Kandi--who can indeed sing...but, I would never stoop so low as to call you, or any Black person ghetto...none of us is better than our sisters and brothers and it takes more than money to bring class

Well I can see this is not a "keeping it real" message board. It's only for people that have "nice" things to say about the cast. Or the cast is too insecure to have anything negative or constructive critisims posted about them. Which I guess is the reason 2 of my comments were not posted.

Hey NeNe,
You are the hit of the show in my eye. I love the way you poke fun at Kim, I would be doing the same as you. You keep me laughing that is for sure. I like you because you are real. You do not try to be someone you're not, like the other girls do. Keep smiling and keep up your funny pokes at phony Kim.

Hello Nene,
How are you? I think you are gorgeous!!!! You seemed to be sincere last season, but you metamorphose to a spiteful creature, what happened? Is it too much fame?
Well, I think you focus on everybody else but yourself! what about spending valuable time with your beautiful family?
Your motto is:" I like to keep it real"
On the other hand, you talked rubbish about people that you call your friend, is it that hypocritical? If you don't want people to talk about you, please practice the habit of not talking about people first. God bless you!!!

NeNe,
You are funny but let me give you some advice- use your humor for good and not evil. You will be just as popular if you stop it with the nasty attitude.
You guys gang up on Kim like a bunch of thugs.
Do any of you think about what type of example you're setting for kids out there? Let alone your own! I'd be embarrassed to have my mother acting like that on tv. I know they're probably telling you to keep up the nastiness, but really? You'd sell your soul for 15 minutes of fame? Your husband seems like such a nice guy. I imagine he's horrified with your childish behavior.You need to grow up and act like an adult and set a good example of how women can be friends and not back stab eachother.

Hi NeNe! I'm a big fan of the show but how could you say that you and Kim were not as close as the show portrayed you to be when it's you and Kim who are always saying how close the two of you were. You have frequently said that you and Kim "go way back" yet your previous relationship with her has not been defined (or maybe I missed that episode). Exactly how long have you known Kim and how did you meet? I hope the drama between the two of you is just for the sake of providing your fans entertainment or else it's a sad commentary that two grown women can't act a little more mature.

Nene, I really don't think Sheree is worth your time girl. Remember your name was not on her birthday party list and when she was informed that you were outside she acted like a twit and didn't even come and get you. Kim did leave with you and I think she is definitely more sincere than Sheree. I laugh when she says at the opening of the show that people are jealous of her success. What success?? She married a football player and as for her success that is it. A designer??? hell no. A real designer can sketch, sew and really design clothes. Sheree is not very attractive and looks quite fat this season. Stick with Kim. Nene you are just amazing girl!

NeNe,
alter ego photo shoots have been popular for some time. My friends & I did them about 4 yrs ago. Also, Tyra Banks always features these shoots as part of the ANTM challenges which contributed to the rising popularity. So pull back your reigns, you are not the pacesetter for this style of photography. And before you start labeling Kandi as ghetto which I don't think she is, you need to take a good look in the mirror. You have to be born w/class. It's not for sale. Good luck!
