NeNe Leakes joined Extra’s Tracey Edmonds at Universal Studios Hollywood. Nene keeping busy not only on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, she is back on Glee this season, is headed to Cinderella on Broadway, and has her own fashion line.
NeNe’s name also being floated around as a possible replacement for Joan Rivers on Fashion Police and Nene is open to the idea, “I have to say Joan is irreplaceable, we all love her, she’s fantastic, she’s given me some amazing advice about my career, I love Joan…If the opportunity comes it’s a possibility I might, I might not…I’m a fashion designer, love fashion and I’ll give you a good read every now and then so it may not be a bad place for me to be.”
NeNe back for season seven of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, reportedly earning 1.5 million, telling Tracey that’s not the case, “I was not offered 1.5, let’s be clear, yeah, it’s a lot nicer than that.” But not necessarily enough for her to do season eight, “This is my 7th season, I’m the OG of the Atlanta housewives, I’m the only original girl standing…For me you have to grow up at some point in life and career, I don’t wanna be bickering, arguing, snatching weaves every single day, just doesn’t make me feel good.”
NeNe following the news of what is going on with Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Giudice, “It hurt me so much because I like Teresa a lot…I Haven’t reached out to Teresa yet, I knew so many people are reaching out to her, me and Teresa, we talk like real…I feel so bad because she’s a mom, I’m a mom, you know how it feels when your kid spends the night with somebody you’re like you gotta come home by Sunday, just imagine going away for a whole year, leaving your kids behind I just don’t know what to do.”
Leakes looking forward to her Broadway debut as the wicked stepmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella on November 25th, “As many people who would like to hate it stop hating…my name is going up in lights in New York City.”
