AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes and Wendy Williams appear to have a fall-out. In the Monday, April 6 episode of the Hot Topics segment of her self-titled talk show, Wendy called out her friend for attempting to FaceTime her for a chat on the latter's Instagram Live on Friday night, April 3.
"You know I don't have face or time for FaceTime, period," Williams explained. "If I don't do it for my own parents of the show, why would I be doing it for someone over there. I like NeNe, but she's still an over-there person to me!"
Williams revealed that she was watching the news before bed when "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star called her. "Honestly, here's where the ambush comes in. She said, 'Wendy, look' -- she was in hair and makeup and wardrobe with all her people -- she said, 'We filming and I want you to be on the speaker.' I said, 'NeNe, I did that for you one time.' Remember my appearance? One time!"
Stressing that she wasn't interested in being put on display that way again, Wendy continued, "I made it very clear, I am not a Housewife. Sorry, my career is a bit … different … than being a Housewife. I don't need that kind of attention."
"Like, I know I make this look easy and I know I have my ratchet ways, but the fact is I worked 35 years of my life to sit here for 11 seasons," Williams added. "It's a full motion picture behind the scenes. I'm not slumming for being some add on out the suitcase for some Housewife. And yeah, for me, that is slumming. For where I am."
Later, NeNe broke her silence on the issue in her Instagram Live. "I love to do a Q&A with you guys, but if you're going to ask me anything about Wendy, please refrain from doing so. I will not answer any questions concerning Wendy. I will not answer any questions, once again, concerning Wendy. And for the third time, I will not answer any questions concerning Wendy," she said.
"I am not that kind of friend," she continued. "I've never been that kind of friend despite what you might think. Any questions I have, I would direct them to her. I wish she could have done the same. ... I am not a snitch and I will never be one."
Despite the tension, NeNe shared that she wouldn't "hash out friendship over social media. It won't benefit me at all. And it won't benefit any friendship that I have." She half-jokingly said that "the only friendship that I'm fighting for on social meida is the one that I get paid to fight over social media for--with a check behind it. So there's no check here, so there's no need for me to discuss it."
NeNe also shared one last message on her account. She posted a picture with a sentence that read, "Public disrespect and private apology don't mix."
