Now Nene’s saying that was all just a misunderstanding.

Cynthia Bailey’s much-maligned husband Peter Thomas was at the center of the drama in last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta after Phaedra Parks’ husband Apollo Nida confronted him about remarks Peter made about Phaedra Parks in an interview, including stating that she is “an idiot.”
It seems that the struggling restaurateur liked the spotlight because Peter Peter Attention Seeker was back at it again this week, dissing on just about every one of his cast mates in yet another sure-to-be incendiary interview with Uptown Magazine!

On The Real Housewives of Atlanta this season the tide has turned against the show’s first superstar, NeNe Leakes.

But, according to the latest issue of Life and Style, it appears that the gals are not alone in their assessment as NeNe herself pretty much admits that fame has gone to her head – just not in a “feel guilty about it” kind of way.
If you’ve been watching this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, you know that Nene Leakes is “VERY rich bitch.” She informed castmate Sheree of this when they had a fight over some money tied to a paid appearance.

This led to her castmates speculating how rich she really was, and, as Kandi pointed out “When people are making new money, they can have a few hundred thousand, or even $1 million, and they think that’s rich.”
Does Nene really have the cash to back up her “rich” declaration?
