Andy responds. Bobbi, Andy is the mastermind behind this whole thing. The look on his face when she asked him if he wanted her to "kiss his @zz. I knew that chick's fate was doomed. I also knew that Andy would put all of his ducks in order and fire her with her being none the wiser. Andy is a genius. And remember how she quit getting the one-on-ones? It was all part of a master plan. They knew that they would never get rid of her and that she thought she was running the show.

Didn't we say that buying that mansion was going to backfire? What legend? Ha ha ha. A true legend wouldn't fool with the likes of her.

NeNe Saying Goodbye to RHOA

The seven-season veteran has confirmed she will not return next season.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta OG NeNe Leakes has confirmed she will not return for season 8. The seven-season veteran announced her plan to say goodbye to the show on Monday night (June 29). ”This was definitely a hard decision for me,” NeNe told People. “Me and my husband [Gregg Leakes] have been going back and forth on it for weeks now. But my contract is up and I just think this is the right time. This is my opportunity to spread my wings and do different things.”
“We wish NeNe well after seven memorable seasons of the Real Housewives of Atlanta" a Bravo spokesperson said. "We will miss her bloop bloop's and her great one liners. We look forward to the eighth season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta in the Fall.”

The multi-talented firecracker has expanded her resume immensely in recent years. NeNe has honed her hosting skills on daytime TV, and acted in both primetime television and the Broadway stage. Most recently, she paired up with Kim Kardashian on her record-breaking app, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. And all of her hard work is paying off. “I’m actually going to be doing a new primetime television show with a big legend,” she revealed. “All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one liners that I have always said on Housewives.”

NeNe did say that she's not saying goodbye to Bravo fans altogether.. “I’m not saying I’m gone forever,” NeNe said, leaving the door open for a possible cameo or two. “I’ll probably pop up and play with those girls every now and then.”

Andy Cohen responded to NeNe's announcement on Twitter.

 Andy Cohen

✔ @Andy

We love @NeNeLeakes & she is always welcome back to the house she helped build! She's a Real Housewife forever!!
8:14 PM - 29 Jun 2015

Following the news, NeNe addressed fans directly on Instagram. "I am so Grateful for all the love and laughs! Thank you so much to everyone that has watched and supported me over the years on this amazing platform!" she wrote. "With lots of thoughts and prayer I've decided to step out on faith and not fear."

Why I know this chick was lying? Here's what I think happened. She wanted her full time pay back and not FOH pay. They refused to pay her that since she's basically calling it in. So she puts out an announcement that she's leaving, hoping that the stans will cry outrage. The next morning she calls it a semi hoax and pretends that she "might" go back in a reduced role, which is what she had in the first place. She thinks she's clever but she's really a dummy.

NeNe Dont Count Me Out of RHOA Just Yet

0630-nene-leakes-tmz-01NeNe Leakes isn't done with "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" ... TMZ has learned producers want her to come back in a reduced role, and she's game.

Our sources say, although NeNe made it seem she was gone for good, the show's producers are still angling to have her appear periodically during the season. 

As we reported, NeNe bailed on the show because the money wasn't right. She's already committed to doing a primetime network sitcom, and the only way she'd continue on 'RHOA' was if they delivered a wheelbarrow full of cash ... to make the crushing workload worthwhile.

But our sources say NeNe is open to a part-time role on 'RHOA,' again if the money is right and it fits with her sitcom schedule.
We're told Bravo is absolutely interested, and the negotiations will begin soon.

Stay tuned.

Ugh. I can't stand this woman!  If she still has any respect from her fans now I give up. Nene is a joke.
Agree with you. She isn't smart.

Below I just posted what I had already written.

I think Nene tried to muscle them for more money and they refused.

They gave her an offer she was too embarrassed to accept, most likely.

There is no way  that I will believe she walked away from a guaranteed so called great paying contract to just depend on a risky clothing line that isn't even established and payment for guest appearances on an app that is not guaranteed to bring in a substantial revenue for her.
And she has a mortgage.  I Don't believe it for a minute.

Think about it. Kim K still has her show with all of the successful businesses she's got going on.

I hope that Bravo does not cave to her.

I also see that none of the other girls will speak on it.

I think it is a risky game to play for Nene to put her self out there like that.
Imo, it wouldn't be worth it for Bravo to let a salary war play out on social media because they stand to lose either way.
For that reason it wouldn't really make sense to me. That's the only reason I think it may be the real deal.

Hopefully, Andy wont allow himself to be punked twice.

Tamara didn't have anything new, but I did copy some of the poster comments. Good stuff. I'll send it to you.

I don't think Nene was offered a full contract, but the same reduced one she had last year. With them getting rid of Claudia (if that's true) Nene probably thought she could re-negotiate to get her full time pay back. Bravo probably said no because if they get Kim F. or Drew Sidora, they would have to pay them a decent salary, so there was no money in the coffer to satisfy the Moose's demands.

When Bravo didn't cave to her, I think Nene did just what you said. She told a blog that she was leaving to create a furor. She thought that would make Andy reconsider, but Andy tweeted her congratulations, and a poster on TT's blog had an interesting take on that tweet. She said Andy's tweet sounded shady in that it "you are always welcome to come back to the house that you helped build."

That was one of the sticky points with Andy. He had gotten mad at Nene going around giving herself credit for "building" RHOA. Andy was furious at her, because she didn't build chit. Looked at that way, it is conceivable that Andy is still calling her bluff and saying, "take the reduced role or hit the door. Oh, and we wish you well." That chick is going to get blacklisted in Hollywood (See Monique).

Also, if Bravo hires one of the two actresses they may be willing to pay them more than Nene ever got, which would infuriate her. Some people are speculating that Kim may not want to work with Nene, and if they hire Kim, Porsha may be gone. The deck would be stacked against her, yet again. Another reason for wanting to leave.

It's also possible that she tried to wrangle a deal to keep her two minions and Bravo said no. So she made the threat.

This is good. Another poster said maybe they put her in a reduced role to see how the numbers would look, and the numbers didn't suffer significantly, showing that Nene is/was not indispensable.

About that app, I know that it's Nene , Andre, and the MUA, but today I heard that Demi Lovato was doing it too. I'll bet these people agreed to appear, along with the other Kardashians for exposure only. Nene only has a guest appearance, she's not a main factor in the app. It's misleading advertisement, because it looks like it's a joint venture, but ti's not. Again Nene tried to use this to strong arm Bravo, but I think the Moose loses.

What she's going to do is accept the reduced role and pay and she may not have any allies. I doubt she'll finish the season because she won't be getting her way.

I totally agree with everything.

I was thinking the same thing GetReal. Nene's announcement that there was a big reveal coming was probably on the heels of her and Kim's initial conversation and the particulars had not yet been discussed or worked out.
She quit talking about it because when they formally discussed it, the terms were probably not what she expected.

I love all of the comments you posted.  I think Andy was throwing some shade too.
I really like what the poster stated when she said;  (paraphrasing)
The professionals in the industry that Nene so desperately wants to be a part of  will not roll with the belligerent, aggressive anger issues, manic bullying tactics and will tire of her stupidity quickly.

I can't see Nene getting to work with any legend.
If Nene had something definite on the table she would be running her mouth -especially after she said she was definitely leaving.
 Also, she would not have been so lovely and gracious. She is totally reactionary and would have thanked her fans and told everyone else to KMA.

Which brings me to another point. She probably is lying about both leaving AND negotiating because how is it that she and Greg supposedly prayed and thought long and hard about this decision for 3 weeks yet it takes her less than 24 hours - not to reconsider because they met her monetary requirements but to consider reconsidering?  Just doesn't make sense to me.  Why would she come back just to reconsider a negotiation? 

She would not have to negotiate for a anything if she had truly walked away.
If they came back to her after  walking away with a formal  announcement and everything, they would be coming back to meet the offer she asked for.  Not to negotiate some more.
Who does this woman think she is fooling?

I agree with your initial statement. I think Nene put all her cards on the table and she lost.

If anything She is probably negotiating for the salary they offered initially and they want to pay her less now because of her BS games.  Hahaha.

Here is a tweet from Andy when someone asked was Bravo just going to let Nene walk away.
It won't let me copy it but, I posted the link here.  Essentially he said, "it's a free country- she just wasn't into anymore"

So it doesn't sound like they are negotiating to me.

Anyway. I'm going to sit my happy azz down and wait for the dust to settle. Hahahaha.

You are absolutely correct Nene heard the deal and jumped to conclusions. That’s why she kept saying, “it’s big,” but couldn’t give any details. She didn’t understand her part and then when she realized that she wasn’t going to get rich on the app, she decided to release a story to give herself bargaining power with Bravo, but it didn’t work. The deal was nowhere near what she thought it was going to be, therefore she didn’t speak about it again, that is until it came time to negotiate for Season 8. She thought that would put a fire under Bravo and they would cave to her demands, but this time the fish wasn’t biting. They’ve done too much for her to try to hold them hostage.

Yep, that post was shade and so is the one you just posted. Andy is so over her. Now they know that her presence isn’t money in the bank and the only ones who want her there are stans who are just as ignorant as she is. I thought his response was rather curt. “She didn’t wat to be there. Couldn’t you tell?” LOL.

Right, Nene blew it. No one is going to want to work with her. I thought it was odd that they showed that clip of her on Broadway. On the surface it doesn’t appear noteworthy, but Bravo wanted everyone to see what it was like to deal with her. She’s the non-professional telling someone who’s been in the business forever how she thinks it should be done. And Gregg’s country bumpkin behind acting ignorant was further proof that no one has time for that kind of buffoonery. Hollywood has already tired of Nene, she’s getting the message too late.

Wouldn’t you love to say, “Define legend.” I wonder if she’s talking about Patti Labelle or Naomi Campbell. Both of them are fans of hers. 

“If Nene had something definite on the table she would be running her mouth -especially after she said she was definitely leaving.  Also, she would not have been so lovely and gracious. She is totally reactionary and would have thanked her fans and told everyone else to KMA.”

So true.

You’re right.

That doesn’t make sense. They can’t have met her demands and then were still negotiating. Lord, help this bumbling fool. Andy had that post up as soon as she announced it. There were no plans to re-negotiate. If he was trying to re-negotiate he would have given that post the go ahead.

If anything She is probably negotiating for the salary they offered initially and they want to pay her less now because of her BS games.  Hahaha.

That is precisely what happened. That tweet says it all. They don’t want her back. It’s obvious. Nene’s games have finally caught up to her. Yay!

That doesn’t make sense. They can’t have met her demands and then were still negotiating. Lord, help this bumbling fool. Andy had that post up as soon as she announced it. There were no plans to re-negotiate. If he was trying to re-negotiate he would have given that post the go ahead.

If anything She is probably negotiating for the salary they offered initially and they want to pay her less now because of her BS games.  Hahaha.

That is precisely what happened. That tweet says it all. They don’t want her back. It’s obvious. Nene’s games have finally caught up to her. Yay!
"she didn’t speak about it again, that is until it came time to negotiate for Season 8. "She thought that would put a fire under Bravo and they would cave to her demands, but this time the fish wasn’t biting. They’ve done too much for her to try to hold them hostage."

Yep. Hmmmm. You know, She may even have ran out and bought that house based on those initial conversations and it was a KMA to bravo now that I know  they put her out of the company owned condo.
It's why too,  she was feeling herself towards the end of the season throwing her weight around saying,  "I'll only come back if the single girls don't, my heart is just not in it anymore blah, blah, blah."  She thought she had a safety net. And she was probably a total bi*ch even getting into with Andy over casting demands.

GetReal, check this out.  This is interesting.  You may have read this story when it was hot off the presses this time last season  but, read it a year later and you will shake your head.
This same story was on most all of the sites- you know how it goes. I just randomly chose this one. Anyway Most of this stuff we knew already but, there is one bit I didn't know that is quite enlightening.

When they cut Nene's salary she ended up making less than Kandi, Kenya and Phaedra!

This would be the reason for all of the bad blood and bitterness against Kenya and eventually Kandi. She needed Phaedra as an ally but she was pissed with her too.  It is one of the reasons why she kept telling people "don't get my pity for her twisted. She is not my friend. "

She probably thought Kenya knew since she was now friends with Carlos.  She also possibly thought Kenya had conspired  with Carlos and production to have her contract and salary chopped. 
Her power was diminished based on that fact alone. Then losing Cynthia to Kenya along with them getting Claudia to help her go after Nene was too much.
It's why she was so bitter starting from the very first episode to the last and  Yelling all over the  place "they tried to destroy me!"  It probably all came to a head at the reunion when she broke down.
Yep. Production cooked her goose good.

I believe they made Nene call that meeting to make up with Cynthia  and Kenya against her will just to get under her skin. It's why she was pissed and back to her old ways when they saw her again at the Bedroom Kandi Party.
 
It's why Kenya was confused and asked at the counseling session what changed between the restaurant and  Kandi's party and all Nene could say is "I have one thing to say and that is, I see you". She thought Kenya was in on it.

 I believe production did come after Nene just like she said and they let Team pretty  take a lot of the heat but, no one really cared because they were sick of her.

Now, I don't necessarily think all of the details here are accurate- for instance maybe the actual numbers were not correct because I don't believe she was making 1 mil but I believe she ended up lower than the other three ladies.

Here she was calling herself a "Rich Bi*ch"  when really she was the lowest paid of everyone except for Cynthia and Porsha and the new girls.  She was humiliated, that's why she went over board with the whole" highest paid" campaign.  She needed to spin it so she could save face.
Isn't this sad?
 
Andy was having the last laugh off of her "what do you want me to do pull your pants down and kiss your azz, have a parade" slam and "Queen" snubs at last years reunion.  He stung her while smiling in her face, just like we said.   Not saying he liked Kenya but he sure had to appear impartial.

I couldn't copy this over but GetReal, here it is, an entire season later and they could just reprint this article, send it out and call it a day.  Comments and all.
Only this time Nene just may have played this game for the last time.
Amazing.

This post is everything, but bad news first. I got this from that site that you linked me to.

The Moose is supposed to be on a primetime reboot of To Tell the Truth, (oh the irony) with Betty White. Are they nuts? Betty doesn’t deserve this. I thought Betty was doing Hot in Cleveland, (wait that might’ve been cancelled) and Betty White’s “Off Your Rockers.” Oh well, that is not good to hear.

“She may even have ran out and bought that house based on those initial conversations and it was a KMA to bravo now that I know  they put her out of the company owned condo.”

You know she did. She’s so rash.


It's why too, she was feeling herself towards the end of the season throwing her weight around saying,  "I'll only come back if the single girls don't, my heart is just not in it anymore blah, blah, blah."  She thought she had a safety net. And she was probably a total bi*ch even getting into with Andy over casting demands.

I’ll bet that’s true as well.


“You may have read this story when it was hot off the presses this time last season  but, read it a year later and you will shake your head.”

No! I hadn’t even heard of Love B. Scott. Thanks! I knew Nene had part-time contract, but nothing about the pay cut. That’s great to hear. Her pay cut, LOL. Less than Kandi, Kenya, and Phaedra? That’s hilarious.
 
This would be the reason for all of the bad blood and bitterness against Kenya and eventually Kandi. She needed Phaedra as an ally but she was pissed with her too.  It is one of the reasons why she kept telling people "don't get my pity for her twisted. She is not my friend. "

Perfect summation, that’s exactly what happened.

She probably thought Kenya knew since she was now friends with Carlos.  She also possibly thought Kenya had conspired with Carlos and production to have her contract and salary chopped.

Yep. But she got her own salary chopped by refusing to fulfill her contractual obligations. That's why she said to Kenya, regarding the donation, "this rich bish is poor." She thought Kenya was possibly jabbing her.

Her power was diminished based on that fact alone. Then losing Cynthia to Kenya along with them getting Claudia to help her go after Nene was too much.

Right again. Kenya and Cynthia seem to still be hanging and we know that Noelle loves Kenya.

It's why she was so bitter starting from the very first episode to the last and yelling all over the place "they tried to destroy me!"  It probably all came to a head at the reunion when she broke down. Yep. Production cooked her goose good.

This is too good. The tea is burning my tongue. Interesting, I wonder if Kenya’s soothing tone was the catalyst for the breakdown? Maybe she realized that Kenya didn’t know, but was still willng to let bygones be bygones. I firmly believe that Kenya was the cause of the breakdown, I just didn’t know how.

I believe they made Nene call that meeting to make up with Cynthia  and Kenya against her will just to get under her skin. It's why she was pissed and back to her old ways when they saw her again at the Bedroom Kandi Party.

I’ll bet you’re right again.

It's why Kenya was confused and asked at the counseling session what changed between the restaurant and  Kandi's party and all Nene could say is "I have one thing to say and that is, I see you". She thought Kenya was in on it.

You better believe it and Kenya had no idea. This is where Nene should’ve acted like a grown woman and went to talk to Kenya, instead of making things up in her head.

I believe production did come after Nene just like she said and they let Team Pretty  take a lot of the heat but, no one really cared because they were sick of her.

I do too. It all makes sense now.

Now, I don't necessarily think all of the details here are accurate- for instance maybe the actual numbers were not correct because I don't believe she was making 1 mil but I believe she ended up lower than the other three ladies.

The numbers are probably correct, but the only reason that Nene made $1 million that year was because she made $750,000+250,000 for I dream of Nene. The way they put it out there, people didn’t realize that she only made $1 million for 2013 alone. After that her salary went back to its regular pay. However, Nene kept the lie going, as to be expected.

Here she was calling herself a "Rich Bi*ch"  when really she was the lowest paid of everyone except for Cynthia and Porsha and the new girls.  She was humiliated, that's why she went overboard with the whole" highest paid" campaign.  She needed to spin it so she could save face.

She was definitely paid $500K for Season 7. Bravo didn’t cave to her demands. They told her that if she refused to shoot with the other women she would see it in paycheck, and she did. That’s why she was such a bitter bird all season.

Andy was having the last laugh off of her "what do you want me to do pull your pants down and kiss your azz, have a parade" slam and "Queen" snubs at last years reunion.  He stung her while smiling in her face, just like we said.   Not saying he liked Kenya but sure had to appear impartial.

Queen snubs? That’s vague to me.

I can’t believe she’s going to be with Betty White. I love Betty. This is horrible. I’m going to check on Google and see if this show is going to materialize.


 NeNe Books ABC Game Show with Anthony Anderson and Betty White for First Post RHOA Gig

http://www.people.com/article/nene-leakes-books-abc-game-show-reboot-post-real-housewives-atlanta

By Janine Rayford Rubenstein 07/01/2015 AT 05:30 PM EDT

NeNe Leakes is not the type to play games. Or so we thought …
In fact, that's exactly what she'll be doing in her first gig booked after exiting The Real Housewives of Atlanta, According to The Hollywood Reporter. Leakes is headed to ABC's To Tell the Truth – a reboot of the 1960s hit in which three people all claim to be the same person while celebrity panelists try to figure out who's the real deal.
Leakes – who announced to PEOPLE on Monday that she is quitting RHOA – will serve as a panelist on the show alongside Betty White, and Black-ish star Anthony Anderson will host.

The new gig is "something different that you guys have never seen me do before," Leakes, 48, tells PEOPLE. "Fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one-liners that I have said on [Housewives]."
Keep up with your favorite celebs in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.

This won't be her only new undertaking. Leakes recently joined Kim Kardashian's mobile game app, announced a new Bravo show with Kim Zolciak-Biermann and says, "I have a new home now, and I love decorating, so I'll be launching a home line soon."

What's Next for NeNe Leakes?

The #RHOA star has a few projects up her stylish sleeve.

by Jocelyn Vena July 1, 2015 • 9:01 AM ET

http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/whats-next-for-nene-leakes

NeNe Leakes has certainly left her impression on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But like all good things, NeNe has decided that her time on the show has come to an end.

She will be missed, but she's hardly going anywhere. NeNe has already teased that she'll take her post-RHOA time "to spread my wings and do different things.” Which means she remains one very busy lady. Here's what else the former RHOA star has lined up.

1Nene Leakes Collection

As she bids a fond farewell to her RHOA days, she'll continue to promote her fashion line, which she launched with HSN last year. NeNe also designs more casual and sassy t-shirts and accessories, which she sells on her website. She's also hosted pop-up shops, where she shows up, hangs with fans and sells her designs. And given how many fashionistas turn out to the events, we suspect more dates might be on the horizon.

2More TV
NeNe is no stranger to popping up on the small screen, having worked with Ryan Murphy on The New Normal and Glee. She's also raked up some hosting time, filling in for Kelly Ripa on Live With Kelly and Michael in June. However, she's keeping her next project vague, which certainly has us intrigued. “I’m actually going to be doing a new primetime television show with a big legend,” she told People. "All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one liners that I have always said on Housewives.”

And while we can't wait to find out what that primetime gig might be, we do hope that perhaps NeNe might make time for the stage again. She's banked roles in Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity in Las Vegas, as well as Cinderella on Broadway.

3Apps
NeNe's also recently expanded her empire with help from Kim Kardashian. Her avatar recently became the latest to appear in Kim's record-breaking app, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. Could NeNe's own app be next?

 “I’m not saying I’m gone forever,” she explained. “I’ll probably pop up and play with those girls every now and then.”

No that is not good news but you know what?  Is this the show where she gets to say some of her witty sayings?    Good if it happens. Then she is stuck with Girl bye! And bloop!  I could be wrong but, it sounds some like some  corny old Hollywood Squares outdated BS.

To add, Nene's twitter followers don't look like the type that watches game shows so if they hope to gain that fan base it won't happen. Those ratchet fans will not be watching Betty White.

From what I have read you have to to know quite a bit culturally. So she is the court jester who will say ignorant BS because she knows nothing about the subject. She will embarrass herself. 

Either way, she is neutralized.   Let her go over there and fight with the rest of the cast over there, get in their faces and bicker over her salary and perhaps get cancelled and see how far it goes. If she has to crawl back to RHOA she will do so for pennies.
I think she is stupid to take a risk on 6 episode show.

At least she is gone from RHOA show.

People should send letters to whatever network she goes to.

Oh yeah- the queen snubs were made to Brandon.  You know Andy does not appreciate any of that.

Question. Something still isn't right. How will she do her show with Kim? 
Bravo isn't going to work around her schedule.

Nene New Gig Will Be Spotting The Liars on To Tell The Truth

July 1, 2015 · 3:36 pm

http://tamaratattles.com/2015/07/01/nene-leakes-new-gig-will-be-spotting-the-liars-on-to-tell-the-truth/#more-16498
UPDATED!

I am currently sleeping with Big Brother. What I mean is I am up most every night until the last BB17 houseguest goes to bed because they have not one but TWO sociopaths this season and there is a potential for murder at any given moment. I can’t stop watching. So I have only been up for about an hour and I am trying to collect my thoughts on whatever the **** Nene Leakes is doing. Because frankly, I don’t get it. And my sources are equally confused it would seem.

Let’s talk about her new “prime time gig with a legend.”  Yesterday we were wondering if she knew what “prime time” meant and who she might consider a “legend.”  Today, TMZ is reporting that she will be a panelist on yet another rebirth of the 1950s game show To Tell the Truth to be aired on primetime on ABC at some future date. This will be important later.  For those younger than a billion years old, To Tell the Truth is a game show where four panelists are presented with three people all claiming to be the same person. One is telling the truth and the other two are lying. The panelists each have a certain amount of time to think of intelligent questions on the fly to contestants two of whom are trying to lie. Then the panelists individually make their final guess about who is telling the truth. One of Betty White’s husbands was one of the creators of the original show.  Betty White is “the legend” that Nene will be working with. So Nene is two for two with the primetime and legend clues. So far so good.

But, am I the only one who sees a series of red flags here?  For a moment, let’s assume everything goes as planned and the show gets filmed.  Do you see Nene Leakes asking questions on a broad variety of subjects to suss out the truth? This is a lot harder than it sounds. I will add some Youtubes for you to see what I mean. I feel like Nene will just be cracking jokes and talking about herself. That might be amusing in itself.  But there are a lot things that have to happen before we find this out.
As of now, this show is not listed on IMdb anywhere because it is not yet in production. To me, this means ABC is in on a few shows but they don’t even have the full cast put together. So far Betty White and Nene are two of the four panelists and Anthony Anderson is the host. There are two more panelists slots, that may be rotating positions, and casting needs to happen for all of the contestants. Aside from the actual interesting person, they need a bunch of imposters and historically those people are not actors but regular folks. This will take some time and hopefully they have already done that.
Because here is the biggest problem. Betty White. Look, everyone loves Betty White.  But Betty White is NINETY-THREE YEARS OLD. She seems to be in good health for someone who is NINETY-THREE YEARS OLD; but, people don’t live forever and health issues can come on suddenly. If we ever see this, it looks like multiple seasons may be unlikely. On the other hand, I thought the same thing about Hot in Cleveland and that went on for a while.

I also wonder about the show being on ABC.  If Nene is going to be under contract with Bravo for the road trip show with Kim Biermann, she would have to have gotten permission for this just like she did for Dancing With The Stars. It is entirely possible that Bravo told her she had to choose one or the other. Because the filming for TTTT will likely be during RHOA filming.  The situation appears be that she comes back for a few episodes of next season as an FOH as much as her schedule allows. My  RHOA sources seem…. confused.  This happens sometimes due to Andy’s wishy washyness but this is different. It seems that everyone from top to bottom of Bravo fully expected Nene to just sign her contract.

I don’t think a game show gig is going to pay Nene’s bills.  Nene is either in the middle of a power play with Bravo, or making some poor decisions. What happened to her clothing store in Atlantic City? Nene seems to be following in the delusional footsteps of Sonja Morgan with all of these plans that don’t go together causing nothing to come to fruition.  I still feel like we are missing a big piece of this puzzle and I am not getting any explanations from my sources.

Now if you will excuse me I have to go send Nenetards to the WLS  as they rant at me for being a “hater.

UPDATED!!

Okay,  Deadline has posted the details on the show. It’s a six episode season. It’s a half hour show. This is less than a week’s worth of work. This is not a money maker, it’s a resume boost. It is NOT a reason to quit your day job. Nor would it keep her from filming RHOA, and it would actually give her a small storyline.  This is crazier and CRAZIER. I am now leaning toward them actually firing her. After two seasons of my sources telling me she is on the way out, I started to doubt it would ever happen.
From Deadline:

“Anderson hosts, his mom Doris will be the official scorekeeper and will ask questions of her own, (not to mention embarrass her son every chance she gets). The celebrity panelist who performs the worst will have to tweet a lie about themselves to the world. There’s even a house band — Cheche and his Band of Liars. No premiere date has yet been set. The show will tape in front of a live audience in Los Angeles.”

She seems to be in good health for someone who is NINETY-THREE YEARS OLD; but, people don’t live forever and health issues can come on suddenly. If we ever see this, it looks like multiple seasons may be unlikely. On the other hand, I thought the same thing about Hot in Cleveland and that went on for a while.

I also wonder about the show being on ABC.  If Nene is going to be under contract with Bravo for the road trip show with Kim Biermann, she would have to have gotten permission for this just like she did for Dancing With The Stars. It is entirely possible that Bravo told her she had to choose one or the other. Because the filming for TTTT will likely be during RHOA filming.  The situation appears be that she comes back for a few episodes of next season as an FOH as much as her schedule allows. My  RHOA sources seem…. confused.  This happens sometimes due to Andy’s wishy washyness but this is different. It seems that everyone from top to bottom of Bravo fully expected Nene to just sign her contract.

I don’t think a game show gig is going to pay Nene’s bills.  Nene is either in the middle of a power play with Bravo, or making some poor decisions. What happened to her clothing store in Atlantic City? Nene seems to be following in the delusional footsteps of Sonja Morgan with all of these plans that don’t go together causing nothing to come to fruition.  I still feel like we are missing a big piece of this puzzle and I am not getting any explanations from my sources.

Now if you will excuse me I have to go send Nenetards to the WLS  as they rant at me for being a “hater.

UPDATED!!

Okay,  Deadline has posted the details on the show. It’s a six episode season. It’s a half hour show. This is less than a week’s worth of work. This is not a money maker, it’s a resume boost. It is NOT a reason to quit your day job. Nor would it keep her from filming RHOA, and it would actually give her a small storyline.  This is crazier and CRAZIER. I am now leaning toward them actually firing her. After two seasons of my sources telling me she is on the way out, I started to doubt it would ever happen.
From Deadline:

“Anderson hosts, his mom Doris will be the official scorekeeper and will ask questions of her own, (not to mention embarrass her son every chance she gets). The celebrity panelist who performs the worst will have to tweet a lie about themselves to the world. There’s even a house band — Cheche and his Band of Liars. No premiere date has yet been set. The show will tape in front of a live audience in Los Angeles.”
Tamara is the best blogger on the planet. Her sharp wit is to die for.

Yeah she is. You always know you are going to get something valuable from her. Not just a bunch of regurgitated BS.

That is the kind of blogging I would want to do. Figure it out and break it down right along with everyone else. That along with her sources is invaluable.

I agree with Tamara. Nene will be too dumb to participate fully. That is why I believe they intend for her to be the court jester and say dumb ignorant chit along with Girl Bye and Bloop.

I also agree this may be more of her games but didnt she realize someone would figure out it is only six shows and that is not a bargaining tool.

Crazy too, that Tamara stated "this show is not listed on IMdb anywhere because it is not yet in production."

She's risking her reality career for 6 episodes that might not happen?

To add, I don't think the collaboration makes sense.
Kenya would make more sense at this but even if Kenya was doing this show I would eventually  fall off.
I can't see it.

I agree also that a piece is missing to this puzzle.

In other news......Claudia on MMM.  Doesn't sound like they are finding her a date- she says its a project.

I'm a little of seeing these housewives popping up all over everything. I like Claudia, but does she have to accept everything they send her?   It would be different if it was great stuff but, It's not and  I'm almost getting tired of seeing her.
She's doing great but, she'd better be careful. People are not going to want to look at her when the real big project arrives. 

Anyway......Bad taste in my mouth from this show. But good for Claudia.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Claudia Jordan has inked a new project with BravoTV’s Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. Jordan is set to announce news of the deal with Stanger this Friday. The details follow a week of hideously false reports striking Jordan, concerning not just about RHOA but also her recent car accident. Jordan meantime is set to appear also this fall on Below Deck’s new season, as exclusively reported on LALATE this year.

Claudia Jordan tells news that she and Patti Stanger have teamed up for a new project. “Looking forward to sharing this thing I’m doing with Patti Stanger. Will share it on Friday! I love her!…Thanks Patti Stanger, good talking to you!” Jordan also tweeted “When doors open, be READY.” Of note, Jordan did not tweet than any doors have closed.

In recent days, LALATE has exclusively reported Claudia has not been fired from RHOA, that casting decisions are still up in the air. Jordan meantime has battled false reports that she drove herself from the scene of her car accident to the hospital. Both false stories were from TMZ.

Claudia Jordan and Cynthia Bailey meantime will join Below Deck and Captain Lee next season. As reported exclusively on LALATE months ago, Claudia and Bailey are charter guests on the new yacht (new name “Eros”) for Below Deck season three. Claudia and Cynthia set sail for Bailey’s birthday celebration.

We knew something was up with the "firing" from the get go. Such a shame about TMZ. Their whole set up looks cheesy to me, so I never paid them much attention anyway.

That's a tough one with Claudia accepting all of the opportunities that are presented to her, but you'd better believe that Bravo is backing her. Another smokescreen.

But, on the flip side, if she's getting movie roles she'd better tread carefully.
