NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and her husband Greg were spotted boo’d up in the corner of the Belvedere Lounge during the 2011 Essence Festival last weekend (July 2, 2011).

The storyline of next season’s “Housewives” is rumored to be focused on Nene & Greg’s “divorce,” so it’s obvious why the two made sure they weren’t photographed together. If you recall, Lisa Wu-Hartwell was booted from the show after she WOULDN’T pretend there was drama in her marriage, apparently NeNe & Greg have decided to play the game.

Greg sat around looking bored in the corner while NeNe left to pose on the red carpet…

More photos…

One day y’all will pay attention to me! It’s my understanding that these two will NEVER break up because they know too much dirt on each other (at least that’s what I’ve been told).

The Leakes’ have also been spotted chillin ‘on the low’ during NeNe’s trips to Miami and L.A. It’s all good though… at least they’re working together for the common good.

And YES… they left together. Make that money girl!

Would you PRETEND there was drama between you & your significant other to keep household income generating?

Be honest!
