So while her RHOA cast mate Sheree Whitfield is keeping busy by building invisible houses and recording diss tracks aimed at NeNe’s grill, Leakes is moving past “reality” shows to “real” acting.
Leakes will appear on the season premiere of the show January 17, 2012 in an episode entitled “Yes/No” as a swim coach and recently confirmed via twitter that her character’s name on Glee is Coach Roz Washington.
NeNe also revealed a lil bit more about the storyline for all you “Glee-kers” out there (that IS what y’all call yourselves right?).
Details + additional spoiler stills from GLEE’s premiere episode below:
I don’t watch this show but I DID hear that NeNe can sang… so you Glee-kers out there should have no fear. NeNe doesn’t plan to screw of up your performance sequences.
Leakes is also said to be the only reality show star that has been given the honor of appearing and according to her tweets be the rival coach of Sue Sylvester.
At least one GLEE cast member is stoked about NeNe’s performance.
A self-confessed Housewives fan, Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry in the series spoke with Andy Cohen on WWHL and said she was over the moon to have Leakes on the show.
‘We found out that her real name was Linnethia… which I am obsessed with now,’ she told Cohen. ‘She’s awesome. She plays the new swim coach… We literally raided her trailer.’
Leakes will appear in two episodes, including the Grease and Michael Jackson-themed episodes, both set to air next year.
Oh… and in related news, NeNe will be getting her acting on in SEVERAL television series. So even if she’s booted from RHOA, you may wanna get used to seeing her on the small screen.
Yup… you read right! NeNe has secured roles on BET’s The Game, Fox Network’s GLEE and of course The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Are you looking forward to seeing NeNe’s “performing arts” skills?

I aint mad at ya NeNe! U betta work and make that money! Congrats…if u need an assistant, Im YOUR MAN!! Im an excutive for a large bank and know all the ends and outs of the entertainment business! HIT ME UP!!!
Atlien u never knew NeNe could sang? Where u been? She is the REAL reason for Tardy for the Party – but Kim Z cut her out and ran to Kandi whom polished it and Kim Z hustled Kandi too! lol
NeNe got skills – i think she got a gospel background in addition to her pole dancing skills…
i aint mad at the rich chick!
Go NeNe…make that money, girl! Hey Sheree…check mate, Boo!
I know damn well NeNe isn’t getting that toupee wet. Anywhoo..Congrats to her.
Won’t be watching Nor supporting ANYTHING she’s in!
Another good show gone down the tubes
Good for her! Now we really see why she get hated on so much. While Kim & Sheree & Marlo opening legs tryna get accessories, Nene is actually EARNING her own money and supporting her family by using her most valuable tool. Her brain! Her agent is the bomb!
God bless Nene with her 6 foot tall loud mouth ass.
NeNe is who she is. She has come a long way and none of us have the most pleasing personalities all the time. She’s smart for branding herself. Wouldn’t you act the same way if every day someone was putting you down. Geez
Get your paper Nene if Kim K can star in movies and stuff and sing girl do your thing. This does take away from the folks who’ve mastered it but I wouldn’t turn it down either.
I dont watch Glee, and I’m sure I still wont, but all of that aside she’s moving out of that reality show spotlight. You can love her or hate her but she’s got some good people on her team who are getting her real work. Not chitlin ciruit plays like Sheree. She put a spin on that Angry Black woman and cashed in. You cant be mad at that.
Who knew from Season 1 to NOW she’s be doing THIS! LOVE IT NENE!!
LOL I thought Sheree was the actor wow make that money NeNe your oldest son needs it
Congrats to Nene, But I think the show just "JUMPED THE SHARK".
Okay now, I am not a fan of Ms. Linnethia Leakes but I will say she is about her hustle. I ain’t mad at cha NeNe #GetIt
YAAaaay!! Great for Nene! And while I would NEVER have watched Glee,I will certainly watch it now!!…But ONLY when Nene’s on. And for info’s sake…Glee specifically CHOSE Nene for ratings because they’ve been down.I don’t even watch the Game but I’m positive they did the same thing because their ratings are down too! …..Oprah? You listening? Not saying that Nene would tone down her winning character for Oprah,but Nene can get DOWN with some common sense!Ask Brice AND Greg…and Sheree…and Kim.
I agree with @NewMeKnowYou It’s kinda of getting played out I only watch it to hear Amber Riley sing because I LOOOOVE her voice.
I’ve never had a desire to watch Glee but now I’m going to watch. Congrats NeNe!
I’m happy for her I haven’t watched Glee and alot of people said dat on twitter but now everyone said they are going to watch and I will also be watching NeNe is going to bring alot of ratings and dis is gonna open up many more doors for her she is really branding herself out and making a name for herself and can’t y’all see she has grown she ain’t even mention Sheree dumb ass song I know those fake ass singers are mad lol
Wow you guys don’t watch Glee, I catch it every now and then and since I’m such a music head I thoroughly enjoy the musicals. Good for Nene, move on from the reality show and make some real money.
TEAM NENE ALL DAY!!!!! do your thing Ms. Lady!!!!
I’m convince Marlo is replacing nene. I think Kim leaving 2 since she over the drama and has a new family.
you go girl! i love you ne ne, keep on walking to the bank and getting everything that you got coming to you, you deserve it! I LOVE YOU GIRL….congrats! cha ching!
I’m a white girl, and I can’t STAND Kim…I used to hate on NeNe, but then I saw through that tough surface BS, and saw her with her son, and you can tell she is a cool person, she just tries to hard 2 B something she is not, like ALL the Real Housewives…(I cannot even STOMACH one MINUTE of the Bev Hills bitches)
First we r called Gleeks! Second great let’s get it NeNe
I’m impressed. Glee is a big ass deal. I thought she just had a cameo, but she actually has lines. Way to go NeNe, can’t hate on that. She’s been acting for years on RHOA so now it will finally pay off.
@RUnscripted
lol… when she said sheree is building invisible houses….hahahaaa…o and good job nene…$$$
Get that money Nene..
[...] previously noted, NeNe will appear on the season premiere of the show, which airs January 17, 2012 and plays a swim [...]
It must burn Sheree that Nene geting to do all the things she trying to do without much success…acting jobs, her seven figures (which she didn’t get from no man), Hosting gigs, and we actually want her to sing. No wonder Sheree mad at Nene. I’d probably be mad too. Especially how hard Sheree working at those things.
Maybe Sheree should trying doing things with her mouth close first and stop making herself look foolish. Do first, then talk about them when you,ve accomplished them,Sheree… and stop hating on Nene.
