NeNe Leakes Says Slumber Party Brawl Wasn’t Her Fault


After a fight ended her recent slumber party on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has taken to her blog to clear things up about what really happened that night.

It all began on Sunday, the air date of the most recent episode. Viewers were left shocked when Leakes’s “grown-up slumber party” transformed from a fun get-together into a messy brawl, the first of its kind in the history of the show.

A game called “Pillow Talk” appeared to be at fault, with Apollo Nida and Kenya Moore’s assistant both taking umbrage to some of the questions they were asked. When their argument got a little too heated, Moore herself jumped into the fray, trying in vain to throw a blanket over the rising flames. Tempers eventually reached a boiling point and the disagreement escalated into physical violence.

While viewers blame Leakes for the madness, she insists that it wasn’t her fault, going as far as to update her blog with a full account of events.

“My intentions were to build couple unity within the group,” Leakes began, before going into detail about Moore being “three hours late to the party” and “the spark that lite the fire.”

Leakes also provided details on the fight that she claimed viewers never saw: “Kenya got up & charged out of her seat towards Natalie (but you couldn’t see that part) (I wonder why?)”

According to Leakes, the fight was heavily edited, the producers deliberately seeking to portray Moore as an innocent victim while the rest of the housemates appeared violent, unstable and unruly.

“Here’s a few questions I would like to ask you: why do you think they let Kenya narrate the whole fight scene?” Leakes asked. “Why do you think they took the part out when Kenya was charging across the room? All the housewives would say we were having a good time! What do you think they showed it as if we were not?”

Regardless of fault, the brawl started quite a controversy, with viewers unfavorably comparing The Real Housewives of Atlanta with low-brow reality shows looking to start social media buzz any way they can.

Housewife Cynthia Bailey was particularly distressed, offering her own apology on Watch What Happens Live.

“I want to apologize on behalf of the whole cast,” she said, “because it was really hard to watch this fight. I’ve been on this show for four years and never, ever in the history of the whole show, has anyone laid hands on each other. I didn’t like it.”

Leakes disavowed the fight as well, but in a way that made it clear she didn’t consider herself responsible for anything that happened that night.

“I don’t condone violence!” she said. “I can’t control adults, and it’s not my fault if adults decide to fight on their own!”

Nida and Moore have yet to comment on the incident.
