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.
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.
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? 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!
"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.
