So apparently loud mouth NeNe Leakes is a quitter. Whoodathunkit? đ
During last nightâs Celebrity Apprentice (which I refuse to watch on the grounds that I canât stand Donald Trump), Leakes reportedly walked out without nary a word to her teammates!
Leakes, 41, left her team which consisted of John Rich, Lil Jon and La Toya Jackson (who was brought back after being fired a few weeks ago) high and dry without an explanation.
Lil Jon and NeNeâs bff La Toya both tried to reach her by phone with no success. Later, Trump even dialed her up himselfâŚ
âIâve never called anybody but Iâm calling you because I think you have great ability,â
Trump, 64, told Leakes in a last-ditch effort to keep her around. âIf you quit, itâs going to follow you for the rest of your life. For you to quit at the end is stupid.â
Well âstupidâ is as âstupidâ doesâŚ. because she definitely didnât come back! Quitting way before she got a chance to hear Trump yell,âYouâre Fired!â
NeNeâs surprising explanation of why she chose to walk out on her charity and her teammates below:
In response to Trumpâs call, NeNe angrily replied:
YOU accommodated Star. You have SEVEN talents that are still here. You just canât accommodate her. Thatâs not fair!
In the end, the one person who NeNe claims was manipulative and evil RAN HER OFF THE SHOW! NeNe further explained:
I really feel that Star got her way. Mr. Trump bought into her bullsh*t. I donât have to stay with BS to raise money for my charity.
The best thing for me to do is leave.
I donât get it. I really donât.
Especially because of Star Joneâs reaction to all the drama. If you recall, after NeNe went off on Star last week, Star politely declined to âengageâ.
[Sidebar: I donât even care to much for Ms. Jones but I applaud her decision not to participate in NeNeâs buffoonery⌠]
Star discussed their altercation on Ellen where she compared Leakes to an âuncaged animalââŚ
âI was thinking, âI need to keep calm.â Because, not for nothing Ellen, but when youâre confronted in the wild with an uncaged animal, youâre supposed to retreat,â Jones said.
âNo, with a bear, youâre supposed to appear bigger. Youâre supposed to get larger,â said Ellen DeGeneres.
âIf you can tell me how I can get bigger than that, Iâve got money for you,â said Jones.
âI knew that [Leakes] had been violent and volatile in the past,â continued Jones. âAnd, so, I just wasnât going to be in that situation because it really could have escalated into something that became dangerous.â
I guess that explains the bodyguards Star hired during her stint on the show.
Iâm not that surprised to find out that the Real âHousewifeâ of Atlanta is a âREALâ coward because Iâve always found that most confrontational people canât handle a battle of the brains.
If you donât engage in the BS, they normally back off because the only way they know how to fight is to battle your emotions. When you show none⌠the battle is over.
Soak that in for a minute.
In related news, all the black women are gone from Celebrity Apprentice. La Toya Jackson was fired (again) and Star Jones failed her task and was let go as well.
Looks like Lil Jon might go all the way for the winâŚ.
Wish I could watch.
