Leakes caught a bit of flack during the last episode of RHOA and apparently wants to set the record straight about her less than hospitable behavior when her Atlanta friends paid a visit to her Hollywood Hilllzzz home.

While there are some who feel her actions were justified, Nene wrote a blog to offer a more objective view of her ‘dinner party diss’.
More photos of Nene & Cynthia on the set of WWHL! + Leakes’ explains why she kicked the Georgia Peaches out of her Hollywood Hillllzzz home…
Nene threw shade at just about everyone EXCEPT her gal pal Cynthia in her recent Bravo blog, stating:
My work schedule is Monday through Friday all day every day, and we wrap whenever we finish, which can even be midnight. In order for me to get a calendar work day off, I have to be cleared through my producers. These ladies knew this was the only time I could have the dinner party, and they knew in advance.
With that said, I was very excited for the ladies to visit me, and if you’re anything like me, when you’re having guests you’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to make things perfect! I hired a chef, wait staff, bartender, and a bar back. I wanted it perfect.
I know we have certain girls who are notorious for being extremely late, so much so that I planned in my mind that they would show up by 10 pm. When I got the call at 11:40 pm, I felt totally disrespect and hurt that they would even do this to me after all my planning and asking for time off work!
When I watched the show back, maybe my tone could have been different, and I accept that, but this was a dinner party planned especially for them! I had five other important guests that I wanted them to meet, but three had already left by the time they arrived.
Gregg, being the gentleman that he is, offered to give a to-go plate to the hungriest of the group, Kandi, who needs to stay prayed up! From what I could see, she had an attitude from the beginning.
Why even come on a trip if you’re going to pick everything apart? You can’t make a wrong right, and the last thing she needs to be thinking about after midnight is Pink’s and Fat Burger! That’s for-rel-yal!
The next day was the Groundling, which I purposely showed up late for to give them a dose of their own medicine. But after talking to Gregg, I promised to hold no grudges and continued to try and make the LA trip special for the girls.
So we head over to Paramount Studios, which I was reluctant to do, because I know how hard it is for people to be happy for your success, especially those that wish they could be doing the same thing. But I shared anyway!
Here are my laugh out loud and girl stop lying best moments of the show:
1. Phaedra saying you can’t make a ho a Housewife! Oops!
2. Kenya saying she GAVE me a table! Girl, stop lying, I have the cancelled check.
3. Phaedra saying Kenya bought that bootie at Home Depot! LOL!
4. Me saying you can eat the nail polish off your nails! LOL!
5. Kenya saying, “This girl is so dumb.”
6. Cynthia saying she laid her clothes out like it was the first day of school and even put her shoes beside them! LOL!
7. Kenya with all the name dropping in her interviews! Girl, let us see the movies already, LOL!
I’m still keekee-ing that Nene wrote that Kandi needs to stay “prayed up”! 
Kandi’s response to all the Nene Drama?
yes, it’s wrong to be super late to a dinner. I know that. There is no excuse to be that late. I’m not saying it is cool for us to be that late. We all (except for Cynthia) typically have a problem with being on time, including NeNe. I can recall many times when NeNe has showed up super late to different things we were doing, so that’s why I was surprised that she was snapping so hard.
Looking back the best thing to do would have been to go straight to NeNe’s house after we got to LA and just let Phaedra meet us there. Then we wouldn’t have been late, NeNe wouldn’t have been mad, and I wouldn’t have been hungry! LOL! But that would’ve been too much like right, and we just don’t like to do it the right way… READ KANDI’s FULL BLOG POST
What do you think of Nene & Kandi’s take on the volatile situation?
Watch the entire episode again HERE…
I am a manager at my place of employment and one thing I do not tolerate is employees who are constantly late. I hate when people joke about being on "CP" time. I have fired many a CP time keepers. That being said, both Nene and the girls were wrong. Nene should have let the girls inside to eat whatever was left over from the party. It cost her money to keep a chef, bartender and other staff on hand to cater to the girls who were soooo late. I still think she should’ve let them in, however.
I agree. She probably handled it the wrong way and she acknowledged that. But I could tell that it hurt her feelings! It would have hurt mine too had I went through all of that to make it special for them and they behinds show up 3 hours later. I would’ve given them a plate too but still been kinda pissed lol
"I have fired many a CP time keepers." LMAO!! That cracked me the hell up for some reason!
I’m someone that is notoriously on time. I understand both parties in this case. Nene was tacky, but the girls should have been on time!
Kandi aka the joker because of that weird grin and eyebrows, alway have something to say. It is very rude to show up at someones home late. The events that Nene showed up late were at clubs and venues, that is no big deal. Anyway, Cynthia knows not to face Nene wrong so just go with the flow and agree with whatver Nene says, even if Nene through you out on your behind too, you are no exception Mrs. Bailey. Phaedra, aka, the liar and hater….I have nothing further your honor.
Agreed. I don’t think NeNe could’ve handled it better. They showed up hours after they were supposed to be there. She did right by not letting them in!
I totally agree.
That’s my gangster chic. Lovvvvvvvvvvveee me some Mrs. Leakes. Lol. I would have done the same thing shit.
NeNe is fool lol .Kandi need to stay prayed up lol.A good laugh for the night
LOL all tea all Shade..I love it!
I am over hearing her say people can’t be happy for you when you become successful. I hate hearing anyone say that. Truth is, you are surrounding yourself with the wrong people if you think that nobody can be happy for you when you start to do well. However, I didn’t really notice any of the girls saying anything about Nene’s success, perhaps she is her own worse enemy in all of this.
I wish there was a LIKE button. You hit the nail squarely on the head talking about NeNe.
Thank you!
I applaud you for that statement. She keeps harping on that which makes me think that she want others to be jealous of her. To me, it seems as if she’s becoming a narcissist. I just wish she would quit making those ugly ass faces.
Word!
I loves me some Nene Leakes, but you can tell that she’s never really had anything before, and now that she has a little slither of something, she’s being a little too extra.
When people are paranoid that everyone is "jealous" of them, that ain’t nothing but insecurity speaking from a hood mentality. If she feels that people are "jealous" of her success, then clearly they aren’t her friends. However, I don’t believe anyone is jealous of her success either and it’s all in her head.
ditto!
co-sign
My thoughts Exactly!! It’s really uncomfortable watching NeNe behave that way. And if I hear her say "New Normal" one more time…
I thought I was the only one who was bothered by that….btw, has anyone even watched the show? I never have…I guess it would be hard for me to see Nene as any other character, other than, well, Nene……probably a good reason why scripted reality stars and sit-com reality stars need to stay in one’s own lane.
Opps…sitcom television stars.
I thought Nene was above all the drama since she landed that role….well word on the curb is that the new normal is heading for cancellation, it’s not official yet but more than a few top sites have reported that it will be cancelled..maybe that’s why Nene has to reassert herself…I know Kenya is somewhere mad and greasy. I bet Kenya thought she would be the star if Nene ever left housewives. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out.
It NEVER hurt me, to hear the truth!
I have never, EVER said this before in my life!…
Team Nene on this one. She told them not to even bother to come. And she did have other guests there to partake of the food, so she was good lol.
I agree! The fact that she told them NOT to come and they came anyway was the crazy part to me. I feel if someone tells you NOT to come to their house and you choose not to respect their request, whatever happens to you when you get there is on you. I thought it was beyond kind of Greg to give them a to-go plate…that they didn’t eat.
As for that lol @ "Gregg, being the gentleman that he is, offered to give a to-go plate to the hungriest of the group, Kandi, who needs to stay prayed up!"
And was it just me or was Kandi kinda dry snitching on Pheadra in her response?
That she is a big, fat, rude, bitch…….and will be here today, and gone tomorrow.
Bottom line Nene is a ignorant,fat, loud mouth
hood rat. Can wait until she gets a reality check
@jazzieg HAHA so true she really is, I don’t know why these new girls act so scared of her, That’s why I loved Kim & Sheree they knew who Nene is and treated her as such, that’s why she hated them. Nene on New Normal & The Apprentice is playing her role a ghetto chick nothing more.
I felt where she was coming from. The only reason, that is acceptable for you to come to my house, at 12midnight IS: your just landed, or you just got here by car.
Phaedra had just landed and all the girls waited for her to get in! Nene was aware that Phaedra’s plane had not landed, so all the drama was Nene being very EXTRA. Why she chooses to attack Kandi for all the girls late arrival, I just don’t understand. Ms. Nene forgot they showed the moving truck delivering the table from Kenya’s storage unit, when she wrote her blog for BRAVO. I agree with Kandi, that in hindsight they should have just went to the dinner party and let Phaedra come once she arrived.
Were we watching the same show…because it was Porsha’s storage unit that pulled up to Nene’s house…with Porsha’s things…not sure if you seen live with Andy but Nene explained that so much was edited…she was still at the house when Phaedra arrived…it edited to make it look like Phaedra only had 10 minutes to get ready…when she had 2 full hours…
well THE BIG UGLY ASS SISSY was right this time…but HE really needs to humble HIMSELF because HE is NO "DENZEL WASHINGTON"!!!!!
Gregg, offered to give a to-go plate to the hungriest of the group, Kandi, who needs to stay prayed up!
rotfl nene is a damn fool
Michelle, really? "Less Than Hospitable"? What the hell did Nene have to do to accomodate these ladies to get your stamp of approval? Would’nt that title be more appropriate for the guests that showed up 3 hours late. I would love for you to actually call it like you see it when Kandi and Pheadra is in the wrong. I would like for you to acknowledge Nene (at least once in your lifetime) for the good deeds that she attempts to perform. Now of coarse none of this will probably ever happen, and this is why you’ll probably NEVER be taken serious as a journalist. SFTA is entertaining, but not credible.
How many times do I have to tell you people I AM NOT A JOURNALIST!! Dayum… pay attention. SMH
Yup! We know. Not a journalist just a biased hater.
Nene act like she is a size 2, that big beesh could play Goliath!
I was thinking more like some type of big dragon slaying Viking.
ditto!!!!!!!!!!!
Kid Fury says she’s built like Optimus Prime!! LMAOOO!
If you watch carefully they didn’t get to LA until around 7 by the time Nene left it was about 8 and they still had to wait on Phaedra’s plane. A 9pm dinner party was pushing it. It also took a good while to get to Nenes house. I like Nene but she was extra.
Plus Cali time is 3 hours behind eastern time, so even though it was 9 when they arrived in Cali, for their bodies it was 12 am. By the time they arrived at the party for their bodies it was even later then that. I know when I went out west that time change bs messed with me the entire vacation. My body never did adjust the whole time I was there.
@ JazzyFoot
When Nene and Cynthia were on Watch What Happens Live, Nene called out the editing team on Andy was on hush mode. Nene said, she was actually still at the house when Phaedra arrived (which was 7pm). According to Bravo, Phaedra arrived 3hrs after the other girls, so Kandi, Cynthia, Porsha and Kenya got there around 4pm. Even though I understand her frustration, Nene was still mad rude. I personally thing all parties could have been more considerate, the girls could of kept Nene up to date with an ETA and Nene should not of had anything planned on day/night 1. It’s hard flying across country and then your body is still on East Coast time.
They did not have to wait on Phaedra. Phaedra missed her flight and Nene was informed of that. The only one who should have been late was Phaedra. Nene even said she did not expect them to actually be on time at 9pm but more like 10pm. She gave them a grace period but they all thought it was smart to wait for Phaedra, who was guiding the group Porscha?
Lmbo @ "who was guiding the group Porscha?"
Nene is just acting and giving Bravo what they want..She keeps it real with her funny comments..Team Nene!
I will never 4get how Nene conducted herself on the tour with Kandi and Kim. She was radical and verbally abusive on the entire trip. What Nene did shouldn’t surprise any of us……this lady is a big mouth and she loves to verbally abuse people, esp. people who will not argue back with her. I can not for the life of me figure out what she get from trying to tear other people down by being loud-mouth and stupid. VERBAL BULLY and she is a grandmother. Nene needs anger management….it took Greg to tell her it was not as serious as she wanted to make it. She has been late for most of the events I have seen her attend. But only the GREAT Nene Leakes is allowed to be late.
THANK YOOOOOOOU! Yes! After the way that she acted during that tour, babyyyyy, I was DONE with NeNe Leakes! I was already annoyed with her before that, but that road trip just made it that much easier for me to not suuport her in anything that she does. She REALLY showed out. I was surprised that she’d be considered for anything outside of reality t.v. after that season on RHOA. Shameful.
I, too, watched WWHL. NeNe did try to explain her actions. Understand the anger and frustration. However, I do think she was a bit rude in her response.
Heard her comments about folks not being happy about her success. Wonder if folks have been saying/sending messages to her that are negative. It is true. Not everyone is happy when something good happens. I’ve experienced that myself. Perhaps, she is calling it like she sees it.
Read some comments that folks think Kandi was jeolous. I don’ know if I agree with that. Kandi seems to have her own money and has had her own success. She might be a good one to remind NeNe that many people have made it big for a moment and then faded into the sunset.
I’m very happy for NeNe. But she should check the ego.
I agree.
When Kandi tried to help Nene, concerning her spending habits in Miami, she was called a hater! I don’t think you can win with this chick because it’s all in her mind! All her loyal followers are just like her, they can’t see any wrong in whatever she does and then they say Michelle is not objective!
Kandi downplays everyone else’s money. Especially NeNe’s! That’s why NeNe always make it a point. Kandi wants to be the "rich one". She’s notorious for point out what she has that’s "paid for" or "how many grammys" she has. Now that someone else is making a lil cash – she always points out "how she knows how much something costs". That whole "ballin on a budget" bullshit but then she goes to Porsche’s house asking her if they got a prenup before marriage! Who does that?? Don’t sleep on Kandi’s creep!
I hate when Nene always tries to refere to herself as an independent woman, as if she’s been this way forever. Girl, you just got on. And by the looks of things, you’re not gonna stay "on" very long with that nasty narcisstic attitude. She loves to harp on the fact that she "works"….well honey good for you! Most of the women in the group have been doing it all their lives, so do you think you deserve special treatment because you FINALLY have a noteworthy job? Nobody else in "Hollywood" harps on how much they work. It’s the nature of the beast, damn.
I agree…check that ego.
I hate "CP time". If you do that quite often you get left behind or not invited. Being late is disrespectful because you are wasting people’s time. Just because you’re Black does not give you the right to show up late to appointments. I hate people that say "oh girl you know I travel on CP time". No your just late and have no consideration for others.
Uhm…Nene was so wrong for having the party on the damn day all parties arrived. I’m sure since she’s "arrived" in the "HOLLY_HOOD HILLS" she’s come jet lagged so why throw a party on the day of. I would have waited for the next day. She was loud and rude. I do agree she had every right to be upset however; its not what you do…its how you do it.
Convey your message with class.
*in my best dave chappelle imitating rick james voice….they shoud have never given you ninja’s money* ugh!
but, the thing is that it’s only a 3 hour time difference lol. they all travel all the time, they were acting like they were traveling hours upon hours, it’s a 4 hour flight max, they should have just slept on the plane, or had a good night’s rest the night before, there’s no excuse for them being that late for anything, let alone an orchestrated dinner at someone’s home.
No..I’m not making excuses for them regarding being late. You are right…12am…kick rocks with open toe shoes however; it would make sense being its a different time zone…lets chill out and then make the most of the trip. Most of them are moms (except Kenya and Portia) so anything can happen prior to a trip (trust…I am speaking from experience…lol)
*I appreciate your comment though*
I bet they’ll all be on time, next time. Nothing like lesson learned. We’ve got to do better. ha ha!
Nene needs to sit down. Her and Kandi are frenemies…point blank period…Kandi is more successful then Nene as the show will be cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons because it is a stupid show. Kandi is worth more than Nene. Cynthia hangs around Nene to be relevant. Kenya is a man dressed in drag…who has starred in below z rated films that go straight to dvd..she steals ideas and needs to see a dermatolist soon! I am not hating on Nene…just tired of her acting like she is all that… I know she did like the Jeffersons and is "moving on up" but go sit down somewhere and enjoy your work instead talking about people hating on you…
I did not watch this episode but from reading this I am glad I did not waste my time. NeNe keeps saying everyone is jealous of her, but none of the girls have ever said anything bad about her success. She is more obsessed with people hating on her than people really are. I am sick of her actics and loud mouth. Since she is so successful now why don’t she just leave this show, b/c real actresses would not be on a reality show.
team nene all day, i too felt she could have blessed them out then let them come in and eat, like the dinner was for them.
That was not cause for. You can tell you may be loud and radical like Nene. Those 5 hour energy drinks will send her over the edge…..she already too abrasive.
and michell, why cross out names, give folks new names, and your opinion about the gossip?. stay neutral, not bias, (in my opinion) set the stage for the gossip and let the people respond. NOT YOU!. Otherwise your blog is coo
I suggest you learn the definition of "Blog"…

Yaas, honey!
NeNe was jealous of Kandi and was very intimidated by her success from the moment she (Kandi) joined the cast. Then, when NeNe (finally) came into her own, she wanted Kandi to shower her with praise (as if they were on the same level). She even mentioned to Kandi during their trip to Antigua that she felt that Kandi didn’t give "it" back. Even though Kandi has supported NeNe and complimented her numerous times and on various occassions, that is still not enough to satisfy her. Does anyone remember the way that NeNe acted at Kandi’s launch party for her adult toys? I do. SHE ACTED LIKE A JEALOUS WITCH WHO WAS TOO GOOD TO BE AROUND TWITTER FOLLOWERS. Sigh….NeNe is just too insecure for this business. Only an extreme insecurity would cause a person to WANT people to be jealous of them. I really don’t think that ANYONE is jealous of NeNe’s success. She has even accused black Hollywood of this same thing. Just when I thought that nothing could be bigger than her feet, her comes her big ego!
I usually don’t agree with NeNe, but i got to give it to her this time. If i paid all this money to accomodate all five of yall, then have a limo to transport yall to my dinner party at a certain time, i would be royally pissed if yall showed up THREE hours late. she even gave them a grace period and expected them at 10. but THREE hours? that’s disrepectful. ok Phaedra missed her flight, she couldv’e caught up with them.
what i DONT agree with is NeNe always thinking that people are not "Happy" with her success….umm i think noone cares. you started from the bottom as a HOUSEWIFE and now you making a bit of change. Kandi, Phaedra Cynthia and Kenya (sad to say) has made houshole names for themselves prior to the show. nobody is hating on you! not even Porsha, cause her airheaded ass wants to be a housewife.
i love Kandi but she was wrong for the animal print AND having a funky attitude when nene told them to turn around.
If the whole group was late why is she mad at Kandi.I will tell you WHY? Kandi is the only one in the group who will stand up to NeNe and not afraid of her. And Kandi is rich and NeNe knows this.Kandi will not kiss up to NeNe and praise her. NeNe stated in her blog that she is the only one who continues to work after housewives taping. What the HELL!! Honey Kandi had her store Tag,producing other singers, writing songs and Kandi Koated Nights before housewives and now has bedroom Kandi and the spinoff show. Phaedra was and still is practicing law after taping and Cyntia was and still is modeling before housewives and has her agency and if being a housewife is what Porsha wants to do so be it. The ladies were successful before u are new money Kandi is old that’s why you never see her brag about what she has that is what real rich people do they don’t brag or have to show it ie.. the facebook guy, Paul McCartney and his first wife and countless others. Kandi let her money speak for her she don’t speak for it. That’s why she was able to pay CASH for her house. No mortgage while NeNe is still renting her home.
You sho’ read Nasty Nene with that blog.
Yes honey! You SAID that!
@Tracey, Everything you said was true EXCEPT they are all NEW MONEY ,none of them come from trust funds and family wealth with the exception of Porsha but she is first generation cash.
I’ve never been a fan of Nene’s and doubt that I ever will! So even in the previews I thought and has thought she is doing way to much and fake azz Greg under some illegal substance!
Ef kandi country freak azz
OMG!!! I was laughing so hard at the end of Nene’s blog!!!!!!!
@Get A Life…totally agree…it’s true…Laneitha (wow) is jealous of Kandi and that’s why they don’t get along…
If Cynthia was a real friend and could pull herself out of the moose’s ass…she would tell her that tired ass bang she keeps curling and twisting every damn way still ain’t working….
She really thinks she is above everyone….I’m waiting for that show to be cancelled and see how humble she will become…and I’m sick of old ass Greg’s yes dear ass…..
Really, I think I’m sick of the HW’s period….all franchises…
This is the first time I have ever seen Cynthia look a hot mess. Not feeling her hair, outfit or shoes. Of course, Nene looks ridiculous as usual with those 1930′s finger waves in her weave.
IMO, that entire "3 hours late" scene was scripted. I don’t believe any of these ladies would show up 3 hours late for a dinner party without calling. I can’t see ALL of them being that disrespectful and Nene and Cynthia are still going by script when thew were on WWHL trying to explain what happen.
Can we all address the real problem. Why nene’s weave bang is a different shade a blond then her real hair in the back
They knew it was a dinner party and they all looked bummy….Kandi didn’t even change..she had on the same outfit she flew in..
NeNe is the type of bitch that you can’t be happy for, her d has gotten too damn big. Let’s not forget a few years ago this hussey couldn’t even pay her damn rent!!! Cynthia is a fool, I would not have another word to say too this bitch, yeah she lives in the hollywood hills good for you, but you want these chicks to be envious of you, and it that they aren’t.
Correct rents in the Hollywood Hills and the house isn’t even glamorous, anyone else notice no furniture just like all her rental house in ATL.
Did anyone notice that originally the limo couldn’t make it up the hill. Except when it came to the evening of the dinner party they were dropped right off at the house.
That was space she rented not her house…that the limo couldn’t make that hill….n yes to much TV time is making NeNe loose it…she needs to humble down….ijs
