Nene Leakes is taking Andy Cohen and Bravo to task after announcing her departure from The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Following Wendy Williams‘ appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday night, Nene had a few thoughts about the conversation that went on between her and Andy. She bashed the two for talking about her and called out the network for “using” her and pushing her out of the RHOA.
In the clip from WWHL that seemed to push Nene over the edge, Andy asked Wendy to speak to the idea that Nene was using her for a friendship. Wendy denied the allegations.
“A lot of people have said that Nene is using me for, I don’t know, social media or whatever Nene would use somebody for,” she stated in the clip. “I didn’t consider it a use-ation. I have never been to Atlanta to see Nene. Nene likes to stay out of the house, so when Nene flies to New York [and] I have time, I see Nene. If I don’t have time, I let her know. So, I don’t listen to that. I know who Lenethia is, and it’s something deep in the heart.”

Nene then proceeded with a Twitter rant, first slamming Andy and Wendy as “Queens” and making an accusation about Wendy using drugs.
“Both are f their ratings are LOW! Bye QUEENS,” tweeted Nene immediately following the WWHL episode of September 27.

“She on cocaine so they should stop using her to talk! They both need my help with their poor ratings,” Nene tweeted.

The reality star then fired off about Bravo and how they allegedly used her to bolster ratings on the RHOA.
“The racist is the master manipulator!” she exclaimed. “They using me for ratings like they have always done.”

Nene continued to call out the network further, pointing out their perceived failings around race and inclusion despite the efforts they have made to be more socially conscious.
“They ALWAYS manipulating black women to say negative things about each other while they sit and enjoy us tearing each other down!” she scoffed. “Remember #BLM Remember #breonnataylor REMEMBER the most racist networks[.]”

The Swagg Boutique owner continued with her tirade, hinting at legal threats in the process and citing a “war” she might have to incite for her presumed mistreatment.
“They gone leave my name outta these shows,” she remarked. “Send me your best discrimination attorneys info to [email protected] ITS WAR[.]”

Nene also claimed that Bravo has treated her white ‘OG’ counterparts better than they have treated her.
We strictly talking the OG’s. I was the ONLY BLACK OG. My white counter parts were elevated and given full season episodes EVERY season. Each season i was given less & less. Don’t ask me, @ Andy and @ Bravo and ask them why pic.twitter.com/PcVfaqoguf

Earlier over the weekend, before Wendy appeared on WWHL, Nene started her attacks against Bravo and Andy by tweeting: “@Andy said he respected Teddi for telling the truth about her exit. Well i can’t wait to tell my truths i hope i get just as much respect.”

A fan then responded to Nene, saying that it sounded like the network “forced” her out of the RHOA series.
“They definitely did,” Nene simply responded.
They definitely did

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expected to return to Bravo for season 13 later this year or early next year with two new cast members, including Drew Sidora and LaToya Ali.
