The swimsuit talked about one other star, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, however she wasn’t named as a defendant. NeNe mentioned she complained of Kim’s racist remarks, however the community gave Kim a by-product present — as an alternative of coping with the alleged habits.
Now, her former co-stars on RHOA are beginning to deal with the large swimsuit. On the opening night time of Unusual Loop, Kandi Burruss informed Web page Six she has “no opinion” about NeNe’s lawsuit towards the community.
“I don’t suppose something [of it],” she mentioned, “I don’t have something to say about it … By no means! Completely haven’t any opinion.”
NeNe and Kandi aren’t the very best of buddies as of late. In March, Kandi mentioned NeNe referred to as her a racial slur.
One other of NeNe’s former costars — Marlo Hampton, who lastly obtained a peach for the upcoming 14th season — reacted to the lawsuit in an interview with Additional: “You recognize, we’re going to depart that the place it’s at. Simply sending my sister some love and kisses and we’re gonna hold speaking about me and my peach and the way it’s my time to shine, child.”
Talking of season 14, Marlo hinted that her friendship with Kenya Moore took a nasty flip. “I began off 100%, loyal good friend, loving Kenya, 100% supportive. And simply watch and see how that pans out,” she mentioned within the interview. “I simply have realized I don’t desire a sister or good friend if I can’t inform you how I really feel with out you getting upset. I’ll not ship the message the very best, however I can have my very own opinion. I don’t should agree with you and simply recover from it.”
The star added, “Quite a lot of ladies should not woman’s ladies. If it’s useful for them, or in the event that they want you to type them or borrow one thing of yours or your trend recommendation or house décor recommendation, then you definately’re a good friend.”
Though Marlo described Kandi as a “sister,” she additionally appeared to have a message for her: “I simply really feel like Kandi, I don’t care who you’re, what you do, what you’ve gotten, should you’re flawed you’re flawed. And if I don’t agree with you, I’m not gonna agree with you. In order that’s simply what I’m seeing. Friendships should be actual, or I don’t need the friendship.”
Whereas the brand new peach-holder is fast to speak drama concerning the brand new season, she remained mysteriously tight-lipped in her response to the swimsuit.
To this point, nobody has expressed direct help (or route opposition) for NeNe’s lawsuit. That is fascinating, contemplating NeNe’s historical past together with her castmates. Maybe one among them will reveal extra particulars behind the state of affairs or clarify what could occur with the community.
