Andy Cohen, parent company NBCUniversal, and the producers of the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' have been sued by Nene Leakes. According to the lawsuit, Nene's charges of racism resulted to her being fired from the show in 2020, before the show's 13th season.
Between 2008 and 2017, Nene says she complained to management about racial statements from fellow housewife Kim ZolciakBiermann, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Atlanta. Nene's team claims that after she complained, executives at NBCUniversal and Bravo television did nothing and instead retaliated against her, eventually driving her off the show.
“From the day the series began filming, NeNe was the target of systemic racism from co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, which was tolerated by Bravo executive producer Andy Cohen and other executives,” Leakes lawyer David DeRubertis said in a statement.
