Ne Ne is so fake, envious, messy & GHETTO. She pretends like she wants to bring civillity to the situations at hand, but watching her this season I see her true colors shining thru. She believes she is the star of the show. Her conversation is wack and lacks substance that is why she always resorts to he say she say. Sshe has nothing else to say and she seeks all the attention of the show and what way to accomplish that, by keeping a lot of the mess you see on the show going. This board is a fake and a phony...

Tia, I agree with your comments and another young lady who commented on NeNe's behavior this season. She is so full of herself and considers herself a star now. She had the nerve to call Kandi a country bumpkin - now aint that the pot calling the kettle black. She is not keeping it real as some want to say, she is making sure she gets camera time. Would you really want to hang with a loud mouth like that? An earlier posts said that she would never make it in her neighborhood and I agree. Growing up, you meet all kinds of people and she is one that will get it started but wont finish it.

Ne-Ne is a big drama queen and is always in the middle of something. I don't understand why the other women can't see that Ne-Ne is a **it starter. Ne-Ne looks like a man.

Regardless of what NeNe says, she does like to keep things going. She's not "neutral". I will say this, her attitude has changed a little bit. I like Kandi though. she's slowly finding out who's who.

Me again! Whoever said neNe was a bully; I have to agree after Thursday's episode. There was no need for her to jump all over Kandi. Yes Kim is wacked! but still.

NeNe is ghetto as helllll !!!! But she is real and that's how she was raised up......so i can feel her attitudes and what she want in life .
Ya' can bring a strong black Sista down cause' she want whats best for her and her family . The rest of them trifflin' ass Hoes on the show are FAKE as hell . They be trying to fit in and be summin' that they NOT. i would not be watching that show if it wasn't for NeNe ......so i hope NeNe can straighten' out other women so called her best friends on the show.
GOOD LUCK NeNe !!!!
Kisses
Lisa
