  • NeNe Leakes Lands Another Acting Gig But Don’t Worry… She’s Still A “Housewife”!

    Mar, 28 2012 | Written by ATLien

    NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta took a leap out of her comfort zone when she took on a recurring role as “Coach Roz” on GLEE last season.

    [Behind the Scenes of GLEE With NeNe Leakes ~ PHOTOS+ VIDEO]

    Well her bravado paid off in a BIG WAY.

    Through her connection to the popular television show, NeNe has landed yet another acting role!

    Details…

    NeNe has landed another recurring role on NBC’s “The New Normal.”

    According to the AJC:

    She’s had a well-received recurring role this season as a tough-talking swim coach on Ryan Murphy’s “Glee.” Now Murphy has tapped her again for another recurring role on his NBC comedic pilot “The New Normal” about a blended family of a gay couple and their surrogate, according to Deadline.com.

    She plays a character named Rocky, though the article provides no details of what that entails.

    Hopefully with all those new Hollywood connects, NeNe will be gracious enough to hook her former friend Sheree Whitfield up with a J.O.B. being as though she may be getting Lisa Wu-d during Season 5.

    [Sidebar: You may recall that Lisa Wu (aka Sharon Millette) started off taping the 3rd season season but about midway through she faded to black and disappeared without a trace.   But I digress...]

    There are many who have been asking if NeNe will return to RHOA next season, and while nothing is concrete as of yet, my sources have all confirmed that she’s NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

    So we can still expect to see Leakes making her paper as a paid Atlanta “housewife,” while still cashing all those “Trump Checks” from her side gigs.

    You better werrrrk it Leakes!  Next stop? A Tyler Perry flick…

    Can you imagine NeNe Leakes as an A-List Hollywood Actress?

      Well, I truly have to give credit where it’s due. I will give her props. She’s using her platform well, so I ain’t mad at her for ‘getting that paper!” In the words of Phaedra, “NeNe’s a hustler.”

      TRUE @ Ebony! I feel where you are coming from with your stance. Now that is the only problem I am having with NeNe. She’s getting roles that are close to her own ‘real’ personality. (i.e. loud, ghetto fab) and things of that nature. However, really can’t hate on her for how “she’s getting it.” #Imjustsaying

      I respect that fact that Nene is making money BUT that does not excuse her behavior. It isn’t hating if you are telling the truth. I’ve watched RHOA from season one and the "growth" Nene is so proud of has not occured. If she is so over the "smalls" she will not waste time talking about them so much and will simply smile, wish them well, and keep it moving. But no, she spends most of her time on twitter retweeting comments hateful towards her other cast members and talking about them. Grow up.

        Its funny how you talk about her talking about her castmates but muchnduring this season and on twitter much of the trash talking came from the smalls Kim and Sheree.

      NO, they are all petty and a bad representaiton of Black females.

      If Nene is as over the women as she claims she would let them stew in their hate without saying an unkind word. But now, she stoops to their level and then cries foul.

      I hope Nene really "acts" on this new show. When she was on Glee she was just being herself with a stage name.
