NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been facing tough criticism regarding her decision to get a lil nip/tick here and there.? The loud mouthed diva was even confronted by plastic surgery veteran Wendy Williams when she appeared on The Wendy Williams show earlier this week!

NeNe took offense recently and when she was asked by BET what the deal was on her new nose,? she side-stepped the issue just like Bishop Eddie Long.? While NeNe didn’t flat out deny getting her face stitched up, she basically gave the thumbs up to anyone who chose to enhance their appearance with surgery.

I?ve never said I had a nose job.? I?ve never, anywhere, come out and said I?ve had a nose job.? I?ve just been told that I?ve had one.? [Laughs] I?m doing some things and everybody should just tune in to the show to see what I?ve had done.? I know there?s been a lot of rumors saying I?ve done this and that ? a lot of rumors are very false.? What I have to say about plastic surgery is there?s nothing that has ever happened to me in my life that would make me do anything to myself because I love Nene.? Whatever I do would just be for me, it wouldn?t be for anybody else.? Nothing happened in my childhood.? Anybody that wants to have plastic surgery and they can afford it ? they should go out and get it.

I know, it?s kind of funny in the African-American community.? But, there are a lot of African-American women that have had things done.? We want to be like anybody else.? If you care about yourself ? you want to tune up something here or there ? it?s falling.? Pick it up!? (Source)
