ESSENCE.com talks with Nene Leakes from Real Housewives of Atlanta
Transcript
00:00I think that they're just talking because the truth is when we're not
00:08shooting this show I'm not around any of these girls so they wouldn't know if I
00:13have changed they wouldn't know if my head has blown off my shoulder we don't
00:16talk we don't go to lunch we don't have drinks we don't hang in the same circle
00:20so you know what I personally think it is is that they have all come together
00:25and conspired to try to figure out a way to bring me down except for Cynthia and
00:29they're mad with Cynthia because they can't persuade her to listen to their
00:33bullshit when I was in the argument with Shrey I said I'm rich and then when I
00:37watched what happened they asked me what did I think rich was and I think that
00:41everybody you know is saying all kinds of things about rich I think rich is what
00:45you think it is it's not what I think it is you know what I think and what you
00:49think would be two different things it's what's rich to you not only am I rich from
00:54doing some of the things that I've been able to do I'm rich in spirit I'm rich in
00:58health I'm rich in you know any every way possible this is a good time for me in
01:02my life and I feel like these girls want to try to figure out how to bring me
01:06down I was invited to do celebrity apprentice and because of that they
01:10seem to be upset about it it was why I mean Kim had a birthday party what
01:15happened to blowing out candles and opening up a gift why are you sitting
01:19there talking about me I think the real deal is they definitely are trying to
01:23manipulate and they're trying to put out false information for viewers and for
01:27fans to to talk about but the truth is I've gotten a lot of shine from being on
01:33the show I don't care about the shine the other girls get I don't try to stop them
01:37from shining but it's only a problem when I'm shining and I feel like look be happy
01:43for me they don't have to like me but they can at least not try and bring me down
01:47they can continue to try but it will never work I am a very tough girl and as you
01:52know I fight back I will never have anything to do with Sheree ever again
01:57one I want to just say nobody has been talking about Sheree Sheree has had the
02:03least success of all of these ladies nobody's asking her to do anything and I
02:07think that's that I mean just her coming out of the restaurant behind me to show
02:12how angry and bitter she is I you know this platform that we have had the
02:18opportunity to be to be on it has been a great platform for me and I've used it
02:23don't get mad at me because I'm using you get out there and you work your thing and
02:27you use it to the best of your ability as well you know I just know how to get out
02:31there and make it happen for me Greg and I haven't lived together he has his own
02:35place as you guys will see he's on the show this season as well and we're
02:38raising our son together we are legally separated me going through a divorce and
02:43separating for Greg was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life I've been with Greg for 15
02:47years I mean that was very very difficult for me I've been dating him
02:51since I was in my 20s so this is the first time in my life that I'm getting
02:54to be by myself as a woman because I was always with the man so it isn't the
02:59hardest thing that I've ever had to do I've got a strong support system and I
03:03have people around me who are lifting me up and you know telling me to keep
03:07going and keep praying and don't worry about what the girls are saying and
03:11don't worry about what other people are saying so in this business you have to
03:14have a strong support system or you just couldn't make it hi I'm NeNe Leakes with
03:18the Real Housewives of Atlanta you're watching Essence TV
03:23Cynthia beautiful and a friend Candy I would have to say she to me plays both
03:38sides to the fence and I felt like she's been doing that since I've known her
