AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes' wild physical altercation with a staff member aired in Sunday, March 3 episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 9. The episode saw the Bravo star hosting a "Bye Wig" party before things took a violent turn.
It came down after cast members Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss went into NeNe's closet without her permission. It was a closet that NeNe had never shown to the ladies, despite her constantly boasting about it. Kandi then figured that it was the perfect opportunity to get a peek at it. NeNe opposed the idea though, saying, "Oh, hell no. My closet is not together. My closet is stupid." But despite it all, Kandi and Porsha still went in.
A cameraman was later following them to the place but then NeNe abruptly grabbed his shirt and yanked him out of her way as soon as she saw him. She then threatened to attack Porsha. "Get the f**k out of my closet, b***h. Don't f***ing play with me motherf***er. I will f**k you up," she screamed.
At the end of the episode, someone could be heard yelling, "She's pregnant!" Porsha, meanwhile, later asked producers to take her mic off because she was “scared” and wanted to leave.
It remains to be seen why NeNe was so upset with the thought of someone looking at her closet. However, her emotions were already running high after her husband Gregg was readmitted to the hospital due to a blood clot in his leg. Additionally, she snapped at Porsha and Marlo Hampton for being "disrespectful" and showing up hours late to her "Bye Wig" party.
The episode debunked previous rumors which stated that NeNe wanted to fight co-star Shamari Devoe instead of Kandi and Porsha. "NeNe wasn't trying to fight Marlo, she was trying to fight Shamari," a current Housewife, who asked to remain anonymous, shared at the time.
"Shamari got really drunk that night because she's an alcoholic. She asked to go to the bathroom to throw up. But instead of going into the bathroom she went into Nene's closet," the star went on saying. "Nene saw Shamari going to throw up in her closet and went to beat the brakes off of her. Luckily that cameraman was there, because it was about to go down."
The outburst allegedly made the producers of the Bravo reality show suspended her. The 51-year-old TV personality "was suspended for an episode, that's without pay," an executive producer previously claimed. NeNe is making $200,000 per episode.
