NeNe Leakes claimed the ‘RHOA’ S12 reunion, which was recently filmed virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, felt like an attack on her. In a new video, she fired back and said she was asked irrelevant questions about her friendship with Wendy Williams.
NeNe Leakes took to her YouTube channel on April 26, to speak out about the recent Real Housewives of Atlanta season 12 reunion. The reunion, which was filmed virtually amid the ongoing global health crisis, does not yet have a premiere date. In her 25-minute video — labeled, “ITS NOT FAIR….more to come!
