Although it was hinted in 2021 that she might be about to make a comeback again in The Real Housewives of Atlanta, looks like NeNe Leakes still has great beef with how he managed things in the past. The 54-year-old filed a discrimination lawsuit in April against the Bravo reality show network, other production companies involved, and even some executives like Andy Cohen. Leakes previously accused them of racism on social media, and in the lawsuit, she is now seeking compensation for what happened. Now, after the update in court, things may be resolved sooner rather than later.
A lawsuit against the Real Housewives of Atlanta sees a big development
The reality star claims that several incidents with former co-star Kim Zolciak Berman, in which she allegedly used racial stereotypes and slurs, were swept away by Bravo’s leadership. In addition, she referred to TMZ In May I encountered racially insensitive behavior even from a white “company head”. Presumably, her complaints sparked a backlash that made her “blacklisted” from the industry at large. However, NeNe Leakes assured the outlet that her main goal in the lawsuit is not free advertising or money-grabbing as some have suggested – she just wants to “stop discrimination against black women.”
The latest development in the legal drama is that talks are underway to settle the matter. According to court documents he obtained Sixth page, Andy Cohen, Bravo and its parent company, NBC Universal, have provided contractual agreements in place with NeNe Leakes to conduct arbitration in New York, or independent processing in other words, first. Apparently the arbitration leaks directly disputed. However, they are all apparently of the same mindset as current efforts toward “negotiating the matter” of their own will “to avoid the time and expense of any motion to enforce arbitration”. As a result, a judge in Atlanta, where the lawsuit was filed, gave them 45 days to end said discussions.
If all goes well, there could be a solution before things escalate further, in theory. Sure, the institutional side of things probably prefers that. However, if NeNe Leakes’ primary goal is to prevent The Real Housewives of Atlanta From continuing to be a discriminatory work environment as you claim, 45 days may not be enough to “negotiate” a real change.
Stars speak in legal drama Bravo
Before the recent development came out, NeNe Leakes had a few updates of its own regarding the various lawsuits on her plate. The reality star stated that she was “dragged” into the civil lawsuit brought by her boyfriend’s soon-to-be ex-wife against her, despite the alleged lack of “work” in their ended marriage. Interestingly, in the same interview, Lex said she hadn’t heard from anyone – Andy Cohen or others – about the Bravo lawsuit. Although it is possible that she meant that she had not heard anything about them in person, only through their attorney.
Likewise, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, who eventually went on to headline eight seasons of Bravo Don’t be late appear later Real Housewives tenure, you talked about the lawsuit that you named as a central figure. (To be clear, she wasn’t sued by her ex-partner like the others, only references were made to certain situations that were said to have happened.) Zolciak Berman called the allegations “ridiculous,” adding that she would “deal with her” after the Bravo disaster ended.
It looks like more drama is on its way to NeNe Leakes – just this time, it’s not just a “story” for the cameras, it’s real life. We’ll keep you posted if the suit finds a way to complete it early. Meanwhile, season 14 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta It keeps airing new episodes (Sunday Nights on Bravo and Next Day on Peacock Premium) no matter what happens with the show elsewhere.
