NeNe Leakes Sues Andy Cohen & RHOA Producers For Racism -- And Calls Out Kim Zolciak-Biermann!
perezhilton.comNeNe Leakes is taking Bravo to court! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star had previously alleged racism at the network (and specifically from head honcho Andy Cohen).
But now she’s putting her money where her mouth is with a lawsuit that names Andy, NBCUniversal, Bravo, production companies True Entertainment and Truly Original, and executives from those companies, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The filing contains several specific incidents from their interactions over the years, like a season one interaction regarding a barbecue in which Kim allegedly said “words to the effect of: ‘I don’t want to sit around with NeNe and eat chicken,'” a statement which “perpetuated an offensive stereotype about African-Americans.” The reality star also accused Kim of making “racially offensive and stereotypical” comments about Kandi Burruss‘ home in season 12, commenting about whether she needed a swimming pool and calling her neighborhood “ghetto.” Kim also allegedly used the N-word to refer to NeNe and some of their other costars, falsely implied that NeNe used drugs, and called her home a “roach nest.” The Glee alum’s lawsuit claimed that when she brought her concerns about Kim’s behavior to executives, they “did not terminate their relationship with Zolciak-Biermann, nor take any other meaningful action to put an end to her racially-offensive behavior.” Instead, she was rewarded with a spinoff (Don’t Be Tardy), while NeNe was ultimately forced out of the franchise.
