Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is reportedly taking a leap into retail sales and now YOU can dress just like the leggy “housewife”!
[FLASHBACK! NeNe's Style Transformation Over the Years (PHOTOS)]
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? Well, if that’s the case, the blond grandmom must love herself some Marlo Hampton !
You may recall that the reality show starlit/actress recently appeared on The Wendy Williams show rocking the exact same designer dress her former BFF had worn during her appearance on the Season 4 RHOA reunion show.
[WATCH: Who Rocked It Best? Nene Leakes vs. Marlo Hampton (PHOTOS + VIDEO)]
Leakes has followed Hampton’s lead yet again.
During season 4 of RHOA, Marlo invited her than “new friend” Nene into her huge designer closet and graciously gave Leakes one of her many Chanel purses.
Hampton made it known back then that she loved her designer possessions almost like family.
The ex-con also lovingly sold her “gently used” and even new items online via her Marlo’s Closet website.
Come along and experience beauty, glamour and sparkle! Then share with us what new life you are giving to these exceptional pieces.
Get swept away to Marlo’s Closet…inside you will find gently worn items, some as seen on show items, some never worn. All of them unique finds!
Deja Vu all over again… Nene just created her own online “boutique” and you’ll guess in a gazillion years what it’s called…
No for real… take a wild guess…
If you guessed “Nene’s Closet” you are really paying attention!
Nene recently revealed via her “NenesCloset” website that she’s offering a few of her own “gently worn” designer clothing for sale to the highest bidder:
“I Love Fashion” and I am asked that famous Red Carpet question all the time, Who are you wearing ?
All of the Top Designers, of course, Hunni ! Now I want to share these beautiful clothes with you.
So, now I’m opening my closet for you to take a “peek” and if you see something you like, it could very well be yours. New and Gently Worn Clothing, from, Me !!
Nene Leakes
I really don’t believe in coincidences and from all angles, it seems like Nene is playing some crazy “SingleBlackFemale” type stalking game and it’s not cute.
I’m not saying that Marlo has some kind of exclusive rights to “Marlo’s Closet” but think about it… first it was that dress and now it’s her online “closet,” hmmm… I dunno about all this…
There’s way to much copycattin’ goin on.
Could Nene be having some sort of mid-life identity crisis or something?

I think Nene wants to be fabulous like Marlo but Marlo has a unique style to her unlike Nene. What looks good on Marlo will not look good on Nene. But Marlo’s closet isn’t shit compared to this lady’s closet in Dallas, if anyone has seen this woman’s closet that’s a replica of the Chanel Boutique in Paris. The closet is to die for. Go and google it or maybe you can see it on YouTube. Marlo would go into convulsions if she were to see it.
RAISING CASH?? ;-/
Well at least Marlo’s appearing on the show was not in vain. NeNe has copied everything Marlo has done fashion wise and business wise. Marlo has great taste when it comes to fashion and her clients allow her to spend large sums of money on clothes.Once NeNe has copied Marlo’s fashion sense, Marlo will no longer be her friend because NeNe is a user of people.
Nene seems to be one of those women that likes to secretly compete against the other and be jealous at the same time. I really do not hope that this will ruin their friendship but that would be kind of annoying to a point. I have to give it to Marlo, she can dress her ass off and I do like the fact that she has a great and unique sense of style. I noticed when the HOA first began all Nene had or was toting was Gucci, she wasn’t toting that other high end designer bags and Louboutin’s or at the time couldn’t afford it because mostly everyone that has deep pockets you see them carrying Chanel and I didn’t think Nene and her husband were rich like how they tried to portray them. Kim wasn’t rich either, just laid on her back to get the high end stuff but she had stuff Nene didn’t have.
Those are the one’s you have to watch, the secretly envious types.Women are something else.Marlo has the beauty, the height and the fashion sense.I guess NeNe knows that and felt some kind of way about it.
I had a friend like that and she drove me crazy and put a wedge between us. She makes everything a competition when it’s not by trying to go and get something better than what you got last week, lol. She couldn’t do that with me, for starters, I was way out of her league. You can tell when she’s jealous because she make these underhanded comments but she try to do it in a jokingly manner. That’s why I just have very very few female friends. I just refuse to be around people like that because you never may happen in the long run. She was like this with everyone only if you carried yourself well and a sharp dresser. She’s a fun person but so insecure.
I meant to say you may never know when jealousy can get the best of someone in the long run.
Nene is a hybrid muppet/clown. Period. She is extending her 15 minutes but looking like a fool every step of the way.
I remember when Ramona from the NY franchise came out with her wine and named it after herself and soon after NeNe came out with her wine and named it after herself. When Bethenny got a talk show NeNe started talking about how she wanted a talk show. There is another incident but I can’t think of it at this time which is why I completely believe this article.
It seems NeNe thinks because she’s the flavor of the month she can copy what others are doing and do it better. Show some originality NeNe. If I was her size I wouldn’t wear or want any of her clothes. I really don’t like her style.
Anyone know how her pizza restaurant is doing? You hear about her doing new things but you never hear if her other older projects were successful or not.
If Nene were smart, she would open something in the Atlanta area like a small or intimate wine bar, a small (lingerie, costume jewelry, cosmetic/make-up, jeans) boutique, carry clothing for tall women, or some type of bath and perfume bar. I’m sure the people and her fans would frequent the business especially in the Atlanta area. I haven’t heard about how her other ventures are doing either. I tried asking my husband about purchasing a business for me because I thought about opening a boutique that caters for full figured women and not carrying those unattractive clothes for full figured women either, but in my area women aren’t willing to shell out that kind of money, they would rather shop at Wal-Mart, Target, or Kohl’s and I don’t have any problem with that because people do have to shop according to their budget.
It’s not just Nene lol "Identity crisis" that’s a reach. Anywho ALL the housewives from all the franchises bite off each other. SkinnyGirl vs Fabalini, cookbooks, clothing/jewelry lines, make up, etc.
I hope that black bra not in that damn CLOSET!! Any RICH BITCH wouldn’t need tio rent her stuff??? She could take a few lessons from Kim!!!!!
Why Must Yall Continuously Hate On NeNe??? Michelle, I Dont Think Your BLOG Site Would Be Much of Shit W/O You Mentinoning Her…The Way You Talk About NeNe Makes Me Think You Have A THING For Her. Let NeNe Do Whatever It Is That She Wants to Do B/C I Dont Believe You Nor, Your HATING ASS FAN CLUB Profit Off of Anything She Does/Makes. The WORLD Would Be A Much BETTER Place If Everybody Learned to Stay In Their Own Fucking Lane However, That Wont Ever Happen. If NeNe Want to Fake Her Divorce Then, So Goddamn Be It…If NeNe Wanna Bite Her Friend(s) Swagg/Style Then, Ol Well & If NeNe Chose to Go "HOLLYWOOD" Then, Congrats to Her. Yall HATERS Will Learn Soon 1 Day I Hope!!!
THANK YOU!!!! I APPLAUD YOU FOR WRITING THIS I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE SAYING THIS CHICK MICHELLE HATES ON THIS WOMAN WAAAY TOO MUCH THAT IS SOOO SAD THAT ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN USES HER BLOG SITE TO THROW ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN UNDER THE BUS FOR NO APPARENT REASON?! LET NENE DO HER THING YOU SHOULD BE APPLAUDING HER!! I DONT BLAME NENE LEAKES GET IT WHILE THE GETTING IS POPPING!…WHILE MICHELE SITS BEHIND HER COMPUTER AND THROWS SHADE WHILE NENE COULD CASHING CHECKS!!!
EXACTLY!!!#NuffSaid
Not everyone likes nene. I don’t, but i’m sure not a hater. I’m beggining to think that the definition of hater is being applied out of context. Nene is a horrible figure for anyone to admire. Her character isn’t appealing to everyone so how does that equate to hating?
Why Comment If Your Not A Hater? Who Gives A Damn Rather U or Any One Else Likes NeNe? I Honestly, Dont Give 2 Shits And Im Sure She Dosent Either. I Said What I Said And Im Leaving It Like That!!!#HATER
People always think that you’re hating when they think that blacks should always should support blacks but if you don’t you’re ‘hating’. Nene basically don’t believe that shit either when she said in her small interview on the RHOA when was referring about Sheree, she said something like here we go with this we black women don’t support one another blah, blah, blah. People kill me with this ‘I’m hating, you’re hating, they’re just hating, he/she hating’ crap. And just because a person comments does not mean that someone is being a ‘hater’, how ignorant is that?
I don’t think she’s copying her. I think she’s choosing to make a good idea work for her. I hope she is successful at this too! No hate for Nene. She is making the most of her 15 minutes and that is to be admired.
I looked…if I paid $900 for anything it’s new!!! Take a seat nene!!
Well, I enjoy both of those divas. Gotta give them props for the idea. Heck, I wouldn’t mind trying that idea myself. It beats having the consignment shop get a large percentage of YOUR sale because you have your items in THEIR store!
How is this any different from same eBay closet that Kim Kardashian has?
Why is Nene talked about so horribly on this blog?
Props to her for staying relevant and upgrading. She is beyond 15 minutes especially when she is on network TV and rather than maintain the title of the loud black woman on reality TV she has tried to make changes within herself.
Kudos to her for doing what works for her!
michele, you are taking this wayy to seriously, trust me!!!! maybe ne ne always wanted to do these things, i always wanted a hummer, and a friend of mine got one just recently, so when i get mine, does that mean i am copying off of him? HELL NO..we both wanted the same type of SUV!!!! NEXT!!!!
There are tons of famous celebs selling their gently worn items on sites like ebay. Famously, the Kardashians…all of them. Khole even has some of Lamar’s items up for sell. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS AT ALL. Just like we are obsessed with their lives, people see something they are wearing, like the way it looks and would love to buy it. Now they can!!
NeNe is going to be confused for the next couple of years, just until she settles into Hollywood life.
It’s easier to take from the less successful, especially when you don’t have a PATENT or COPYRIGHT in place. I see it all the time.
I wish her the best though. If you come into the market getting pimped, it’s hard to tell the pimp I’m done with you when you still owe him money ***(Ryan Murphy)***. I have enough faith in her to know she will soon elevate herself to a business status that doesn’t entail playing the role of someone else but herself, at least I hope…
But didn’t she say on the reunion that labels don’t define her?
Here’s the thing…what’s the worst that could happen? Right…no one buys and she moves on. At least she’s trying.
I know Sharee is in the corner throwing a fit!
Her style is not the bizness…to me…however; go for it I say.
Why.. would you think she’s copying her? Just because they wore the same dress. It plenty of people in HOLLYWOOD wear the same thing. The closet thing is over rated. Everyone has a closet I could say ATL’s Closet. I’m not copying anyone,it’s my clothes and my closet. PLEASE!!!
To each his own.. hey if they buying what you selling then go for it. But I’z getting really tide with these photographic engineers that keep shaving pounds off Nene body parts. She better put the real clothing sizes on this website I’d be pretty ticked off if I received a comforter expecting a pillow sham.
There is nothing in her closet that I would like to own…she can’t dress…no style…
Wouldn’t say she is copying….just doing what every other person is doing…
I miss the season 1 NeNe. She was real. Now it’s all about the fame and money. I think that’s why her and Kim fell out too. I really loved watching their friendship the first season. It’s crazy what money will do to you. Oh well, I’m not hating her hustle at all, I’m glad to see she expanded, I just miss the crazy and fun NeNe.
Nene dresses according to the price of the item, not how the item looks on her…that’s not dressing …
I hate I missed this badass deal. I would have bought those shoes in a heartbeat tao style.
