This year, viewers are treated to a lot of unscripted TV dramas that successfully make the headlines for various reasons, including cheating and the death of the main cast member.

AceShowbiz - Known as Belt Gate, the issue took the center stage during season 11 of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". It first started after NeNe Leakes hosted a "Bye Wig" party , which was aired back in March, at her house with the rest of the cast members attending. During the party, Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss pressed NeNe to show her "secret closet" though the latter refused, reasoning that was "not together" and "stupid" at that time.
However, that didn't stop Porsha and Kandi from heading to the room, much to NeNe's dismay. The thought of her unorganized room making it on air scared her so much when she saw a cameraman tagging along them. NeNe quickly got up and yanked the staff member's shirt. That was when things took a violent turn. "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," NeNe could be heard screaming.
Making things worse, it was also said that NeNe assaulted Porsha, who was pregnant at the time, resulting in her belt coming off of her. NeNe, however, denies attacking Porsha and addressed it in a YouTube video, saying, "So Porsha is the only one saying that she was touched. Or I think what she's saying is that her belt came off so she just assumed that I touched her so her belt came off. I'd like to know how is that possible - and that's what I told her at the reunion. I was not even behind you, so how could I touch your belt?"
Following the epic altercation, NeNe started beefing with almost everyone in the cast including Porsha, Kandi and Cynthia Bailey. She was rumored to be exiting the Bravo show when she was reportedly absent when they started filming for season 12. However, NeNe decided to go back, alluding in some interviews that she was the queen of the show considering she was the only remaining OG cast member.
