NeNe Leakes aka “Silk” Revisits Her Stripper Days… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Bravo took us waaaay back in time last night with Real Atlanta “Housewife”‘ NeNe Leakes, as she reminisced about her days bumping and grinding to the OJays.

Just as she revealed back in ’09 when she released her autobiographical novel, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, NeNe says she was a 25 year old single mom in 1993, fresh out of an abusive relationship when she decided to search for a job in the sex industry.

Leakes perused the classifieds, scanning ads seeking “models” and “dancers,” and while she admits her days as a skripper were some of the best she’s ever had, NeNe says she NEVER took cash for her “A”zz…

I sold a “fantasy” not pussy. That’s just what it was. I just felt very powerful.? I made a ton of money and I just couldn’t stop. I bought a new car…. I paid my son’s tuition.

I thought of the men as my personal ATM machines.

I heard that’s where she eventually met her hubby Gregg, who rescued NeNe from her strippin’ ways and turned her into the “housewife” that she is today.

We should really all be thankful for Gregg cause judging from NeNe’s statement above, she woulda never quit! Then we would have had two of THESE running around town. But I digress…
