usmagazine.comFollowing her tenure on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes filed a lawsuit against its production companies, citing a hostile and racist working environment.Us Weekly confirmed in April 2022 that Leakes sued NBCUniversal, Bravo, production companies True Entertainment and Truly Original and executive producer Andy Cohen over working conditions.
The case was filed in the city of Atlanta.Per the court docs, the Linnethia Lounge owner alleged that NBC and its Bravo network “maintain a corporate culture that is insensitive to Black talent and fosters racially offensive behavior that goes unpunished.”Leakes went on to assert that the company’s lack of diversity in its corporate structure has contributed to insensitivities toward people of color, further alleging that the Real Housewives franchise is “racially segregated” and called out their treatment of diverse show stars.
