Cynthia Bailey is finally responding to NeNe Leakes‘ Instagram rant against her and other members of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Although NeNe labeled Cynthia “sneaky and underhanded” during the live rant on Wednesday, Cynthia said she will “always love and support” her co-star and friend just hours later and explained why she was actually happy to see the clip.
“I’ve always been a friend to her, and if she’s really my girl like she’s claimed to be my girl then we could get past this,” Cynthia told Page Six. “But I noticed she was wearing my eyewear, though, so I need to tag Cynthia Bailey eyewear. I appreciate that. It’s good when we support each other even when we’re mad at each other.”
After the taping of the reunion special for RHOA season 11 last Thursday, NeNe unfollowed all of her co-stars, except for Marlo Hampton and Shamari DeVoe, and took aim at Cynthia on Instagram.
“Cynthia has done a lot of stuff, in my opinion, on the down low, very sneaky and underhanded,” NeNe alleged. “I don’t have no hate in my heart for Cynthia. We are co-workers from this day forward. I don’t have any reason to not speak to her … but anything else further than that it’s not going to happen.”
In NeNe’s video, she was wearing Cynthia’s “Cynthia Crystal Brown” sunglasses.
Also during her interview, Cynthia said the reunion taping was difficult and that “some stuff went down.”
“It just got a little bit tricky for me, but I just own my truth, and said what I had to say,” she said. “But it’s going to be a good reunion. I’ll tell you that.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo TV.
