NeNe Leakes is a little bewildered by the rumors swirling that she's had a little, ahem, touch-up on her face. The whispers began when NeNe appeared at Fashion Week sporting different make-up and long hair extensions that altered her appearance.

Now, she's setting the record straight. "I'm thinking, 'A facelift, really?'" NeNe told Huffington Post. "I'm in my early 40s. I don't need a facelift. Honey, I am black, and I don't need a facelift." NeNe has never hidden the fact that she's improved her looks. On Season 3 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, she had surgery on her nose, boobs, and some lipsuction. (Watch below.)

Drugged NeNe

Of getting her boobs done, NeNe said, "I don't want breasts that hang down. I want them to say hello. And I bought them," she says. She also isn't opposed to getting some work done down the road. "I believe in a nip tuck. I believe you should always look good or however you feel. Whatever makes you feel great."
