Nene Leakes can hold her own, especially when it comes to a group of opinionated women.
The reality star will join the Broadway cast of Chicago as Mama Morton, and yesterday made an appearance on The View as part of her press tour.
Things didn’t go as swimmingly as one may have hoped, though.
“Just sat down with a bunch of mean girls turning up their noses, looking u up & down as if u don’t belong,” Leakes tweeted (then later deleted before Us Magazine grabbed the quote).
The Tweets and Instagrams that followed were positive, showing no trace of animosity that was clearly visible during her segment.
Things started off fine as Leakes hugged each of the ladies, playfully hitting Joy Behar as she took her seat at the table.
“Stop it!” Behar joked (I think). “If I got a black a blue mark, I’m gonna sue your ass!”
That right there set the tone of the appearance.
While Leakes talked about leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta, as well as her new six-bedroom home, Behar sat there with a look on her face that said, “I’m over this.”
The other women, including Candace Cameron-Bure, did their best to keep the interview moving, but the tension between Leakes and Behar was palpable.
When Leakes showed photos her Atlanta home, the ladies wanted to know where the eff all the furniture was.
“Where’s the furniture, Nene!” Whoopi Goldberg asked
“I didn’t want to show you guys pictures of my furniture,” Leakes said, citing security reasons.
Behar pressed on about why showing furniture would pose a security risk, then gave up because it was a losing battle.
Watch the clip below to soak up the tension.
