Nene Leakes: I Don't Have Tolerance for Shallowness
Nene Leakes clarifies her comments to Tanya Sam about labels.
Bravotv.com: How did you feel about the results of Bitch Stole My Talent?
Nene Leakes: I loved, loved, loved Bitch Stole My Talent! None of these girls saw it coming! Pairing each girl up with another with the same talent and competing was pure genius. All the girls were into it, which made this game even better. Those that won (including myself) really just won the game that day. That’s not to say the other ladies were horrible and not good at what they do. We are all very talented in our respective talent. So no losers, all winners over here!
Bravotv.com: Were you surprised things got so heated between Shamari and Marlo?
I was totally surprised when things got heated. I’m not sure why Shamari felt Marlo was shading her! I’ve known Marlo for quite some time now, and her eye for fashion is a really good one. She’s passionate and can sometimes be too vocal when it comes to other's fashion choices, but I believe Marlo was coming from a good place when she wanted to style Shamari for the day.
Bravotv.com: Why did you tell Tanya you don't have tolerance for ignorance?
I told Tanya I didn’t have tolerance for ignorance, which probably was the wrong word! A better word would have been “shallowness,” because she had spoken of labels for the past few days and who she thought was the most fashionable person in the group. The point I was trying to make was that we are all successful black women and can all afford to wear labels if we choose too! Just because one person decides to spend their money on labels, doesn’t make them or us any less than.
