NeNe Leakes has apparently scared the sh*t out of another one of her Celebrity Apprentice cast mates.? Supermodel Nikki Taylor first made the statement that NeNe’s loud mouth frightened her on the set… and now Star Jones has hired security to protect her from NeNe.

As the battle between NeNe and Star continues, it’s become quite apparent that the two don’t particularly care for one another. Rumor has it that Star actually feels physically threatened by the reality show diva, and fears for her personal safety so she hired a bodyguard.

Better safe than sorry I guess… *shrug*

Juicy details PLUS Star’s twitter response to NeNe’s Wendy Show Diss below:A source close to Star revealed to PopEater that “NeNe is coming unhinged,” adding that during taping the Atlanta ‘Housewife’ made La Toya Jackson cry and even got in the face of singing legend Dionne Warwick.

But it’s her beef with Star that is particularly nasty, the source reveals. “Clearly, she can’t get along with women, especially other black women. She is losing it.”

As you know, NeNe isn’t waiting for the show to begin to make known her hatred for Star. During a visit to ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ she tried her best to hold her tongue with limited success.

“I’m not feeling Star Jones, I’m sorry. I gave her a chance when I first got there, I did,” she told Wendy, later adding, “I wouldn’t spit on Star if she was on fire.”

Of course, the feeling is mutual, but a friend of Star’s states that the former ‘View’ co-host will rise above the negative. That said, she feels that NeNe could be a physical threat to her, so she has hired her own private security guards.

“Star is a real celebrity, not some cheap reality star who is enjoying 15 minute of fame,” the friend says. “She’s a lawyer and a lady. NeNe can say what she wants about Star, but she doesn’t care now that she knows she’s safe.”

Star may be a lady and can “rise above the negative” but that didn’t stop her from responding to NeNe’s diss with a few subliminals via Twitter:

Hold up! Did Star just refer to NeNe as a pig? That’s almost as good as a monkey with a wig on… almost.

One thing is true. NeNe needs to chill and stop burning all these bridges. Her mouth is getting her in more and more trouble these days.
