  • SHOCKER!! Nene Leakes ‘Banned’ in Utah… [PHOTOS]

    Aug, 30 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is apparently not on the “A” List in Utah and neither are the “gays”.

    [PHOTOS: Nene Leakes Hosts Shoedazze Launch Party]

    Utah clearly doesn’t see it for Leakes and her new NBC sitcom, “The New Normal,” for reportedly the show has been banned from the state’s airwaves!

    Details…

    Wetpaint is reporting that Ryan Murphy’s upcoming sitcom, “The New Normal” which stars the Real “Housewife” of Atlanta, has been pulled by Utah’s NBC affiliate KSL-TV.

    The station felt that the show, which is centered around a gay couple and their child’s surrogate mother, is “inappropriate on several dimensions, especially during family viewing time.”

    So apparently Utah doesn’t see it for Nene OR the gays… :shock:

    GLAAD President Herndon Graddick issued the following statement regrading the situation:

    “Same-sex families are a beloved part of American television thanks to shows like Modern Family, Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy.

    While audiences, critics and advertisers have all supported LGBT stories, KSL is demonstrating how deeply out of touch it is with the rest of the country.”

    A “housewife” banned in Utah?! Now that’s a first…

    Thoughts?

        I have been to Annabella and Green River Utah. These are some super small towns. If you have a dissenting opinion to their norm then you are basically an outcast. They look at you like your skin is green and they will not talk to you. When I was there folks were asking me about the real “Big Apple” (NY) vs what is seen on TV. I answered their questions regarding the LGBT community and informed them I am friends with some, you would have thought I said I sleep with Satan. I went from being “such a sweetheart” to “you know she hangs with gays”. I met a guy who store went out of business because he said “Everyone doesn’t have to believe in God, in America we have the right to believe whatever we like”. He lost almost all his customers

          I was in Provo, Orem and SLC, it was some of the most uncomfortable weeks in my life. It’s like another world being out there. The thinking is very small minded I agree. When I found out the true story of the Mormon church, well it just further solidified for me why I never understood how people of color could practice that religion.

        Thank you. I thought I was reading the article wrong. It is not NeNe’s show. NeNe is one of the stars of the show and NeNe can go to Utah anytime she wants, it’s THE SITCOM that been banned in Utah. Someone clearly got their facts twisted.

        You are right. It is not about anyone George Bush could have been cast to be on this show and they still would not have aired it. it boils down to the show being based on Homosexuals and they are not having that in Utah. NeNe still cashing checks!!

      This shouldn’t have even made news, Utah would never allow this show..I’m surprised the "bible belt" hasn’t said anything yet…as far as why ne ne was mentioned i’m sure Michelle knows this isn’t her "show" howvere, she IS a big star and for gossip blogs they always lead with the star to garner the hit(would have read the post if it just said Utah banned the show or because NeNe’s show got banned????)

      Well if they don’t want to air the show then so what? People need to remember or understand that America is not some homogenous nation where everyone thinks alike and agrees on everything.

      We are actually a country of individual mini nations. Life in NY is not like life in Arkansas and life in Arkansas is not like life in Oregon etc. I don’t think it reflects badly on their state if they don’t want to see a bunch of gays plus one loud Nene cooning every week.

      And even if this show flops, which I think it will because this whole gay tv family thing is a phase, Nene still going to be cashing checks. She still as RHOA, her plays, and now her shoe line.

      NENE GIRL IF YOU ARE READING AND IF YOU ARE SMART GET YOUR WEAVE LINE TOGETHER! Kim got her wigs so Nene and Marlo need to team up and get that REMI.COM!

        I agreed with you up until you stated the show wasn’t going to make it because you felt it was a phase. You have to remember that Will & Grace lasted 8 seasons before it ended and that centered around that lifestyle to the T. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this one made a similar run.

      Now you know you wrong for that one ATLien. I’m mad you went there with it like UTAH banned Nene when it really was the show. But can you say that we are really surprised? Utah (and states like it) have alot of jobs but no one wants to live there because of the people (a contributing factor to today’s unemployment).

      As far as the show, I saw the preview episode and it’s cool, Nene really is a good actor but it’s obvious that she’s new to the game because she’s playing a role not unlike herself.

      Definitely NOT about Nene. It’s good that it was mentioned though. Utah is a mormon stae. NBC is a mormon owned station there. You’ll see plenty more of their ideals as soon as they own this country. I remember when Katrina displaced Black families were flown out to Utah. They were safe but they were also SHOCKED. The people had never been in actual contact with Black folk before. Matter of fact, they housed them on a MILITARY BASE WITH A CURFEW.

        I think it was about 90 Black people unknowingly plunked down in the state. Don’t know how many have escaped to date.

      Lets stop not making Nene more important than she really is! the show was banned! not one person.

      and does anybody care about what Utah does! i mean really, the only time I even think about them as a state is when i am looking at the map.

        Probably. They’re mostly mormon faith based. The next prez to likely steal the election who was mormon pastor will give further light on what he will and won’t allow in the rest of the states. And since they not too long ago (couple of decades?)recognized Black people as human beings…it don’t look good for us.

I dont have to like the idea, doesnt mean ima homophobe.U guys want to be treated equally..well straight shows get rejected too.

      Ms. ATL you can hate NeNe all you want but like she told Sheree – you are on the wrong team Boo Boo. While you out there defending the likes of Tamika Raymond and Phaedra Parks, Ms. Leakes is getting seriously paid and she is building a big-name contact list that will make yours (and theirs) pale in comparison.
