@sugar I hate Fox news and just clicking right on by them. They are still trying to figure out how McCain lost. The ringleader Bill O' Hater dumb ass was on Jon Stewart show and he didn't know what a panda was. SHM

[quote comment="329761"]It's really sad when folks can look down upon others who are having hard times. I'm still trying to figure out why a reputable news channel would even go digging for foolishness then have to retract part of it by the end of the segment. I agree that the show was extra...but it's a reality SHOW...meaning it is scripted with writers and others who are there to make good TV and get those ratings up. Regarding the comments about Atlanta...yes, there are those pretentious folks who want to floss and be more than they really are, but trust me, Atlantans do not have a monopoly on this. I moved here from London and let me tell you, Black and Brown folks all over the world suffer from this same issue. I'm fortunate to run in a really cool circle of upwardly mobile, very well educated, gainfully employed down to earth black professionals who couldn't care less about what each other has. There will always be pretentious show-off's no matter where you live. It's unfortunate that of the close to 6M people in the Atlanta area, this is the best Bravo could do to represent the city...but as I said...it's a SHOW. Nothing more, nothing less.[/quote] "I'm still trying to figure out why a reputable news channel would even go digging for foolishness then have to retract part of it by the end of the segment" Answer: Because they're not reputable anymore. If you have to retract something, it's because you jumped the gun withouth having all your ducks in a row.

WOw Fox u just had to Put her on Blast like that.. Smh well shes still better off than I, Times r ruff...

Like I said earlier, there are black people with real money in Atlanta that were asked but wanted nothing to do with this show because they know these women are fake and the show is total BS. Why would I risk my reputation on a meaningless show? They have absolutely nothing to gain.[/quote] They could gain promotion for their businesses or foundations just like the ATL Housewives did.

yes, the show was entertainment. but no...i would NOT do a show for a good 12 minutes of fame and maybe a few dollars if it would cost my pride. all $ aint good $.

Oh please fox could go suck a d#@k. Lets just be clear, we (Black folks) are not the only ones with so called financial issues. I find it very suspicious that NeNe is the only one that'has now been depicted as being a fake, when I'm sure that there is someone from the orange county or even the NY cast that is probably less than a millionaire. However I'm not surprised that fox news would be the one to come up with this story because they would like to portray us as being full of drama and dishonest, when in fact we are in a recession and plenty of wealthy people are losing their homes. That news cast made me so mad because there are plenty of other cast members from the OC and NY seasons that seemed to have questionable wealth but no news team has gone and dug into their personal affairs. I hope NeNe Leaks does not take this character assasination lightly and that she releases a on air response blasting those who seek to discredit her.

Why is NeNe with my man Noel Jones? I'm jealous!

Fox news is constantly trying to portray African Americans in a negative light. First calling Michelle Obama a "Baby Momma" then releasing the negative comments by Jesse Jackson and now this news about Ne Ne. I agree that I am sure all the Real Housewives have skeletons. But the housewives of Atlanta are being targeted because they are Black. But best believe there is no Real Reality Television show on TV. Its just pure entertainment. So you cant be upset or disappointed when this hits the news. So what its just for entertainment.

[quote comment="328598"]Personally, I do not think a person going through a financial crisis is something to snicker about. I will say that there are many black families in Atlanta with old money and countless lawyers, doctors, professors. Bravo is at fault here because they took the easy route. They went after women that were shallow, nouveau riche and extra. They were not interested in wealthy ladies with class. They were interested in ratings, so they went after the crazy personalities that could draw them. I think the young women on this site that are ragging on Atlanta because they are looking at the image that they see from the young people here consumed with the entertainment industry here. When I lived in LA I felt the same way, but that was not indicative of the wealthy black people that lived in Baldwin Hills. They were real success stories. There is an extreme number of blacks that are major in politics, medicine, law, and education in this city that have no interested flashing their wealth to the masses. These are the real Baracks & Michelles. It is unfair to lump them people into your assessment of Black Atlanta. They worked too hard to have their image and success cheapen by someone else that just living it up for the moment. I think its only fair that we be clear that all the flashy/false-living black people in the city are not on the same wavelength as other blacks thriving here. We need to be careful with stereotyping ourselves.[/quote] Well put.

I honestly feel sorry for anyone who is loosing or has lost their home. That is a tough thing to face esp. when u have kids. On the other hand, Karma is a b*tch. I wish her luck and all who are feeling the recession.

Wow who was behind this SHEREE? because KIM is faking it too as well as Sheree so why is NENE THE ONLY TARGET ? Something doesn't look right !!! I blames Bravo for being sooo desperate to do a show with a bunch of Black women .

I have a feeling there won't be another season, because most of the cast has lost ALL credibility. The fighting, cattiness and backstabbing made them look bad enough. Common sense should have told Nene she would eventually be exposed. If she didn't have it like that, she should have NEVER signed up for that show. How embarrassing for her family, especially her son's.

What the heck is with fox news targeting African Americans? It’s called a recession…Nobody is exempt! I’m sure if someone does some digging they will find out some of the news staff have also been evicted. I bet they wouldn’t report on the Orange county women. I watch CNN anyway. From one Nini to another NeNe girl you will be OK! I’m going to bed fox news done pissed me off.

I understand you have to report the juicy news to us bored folks and all, Natasha, but kicking a man/woman when she's down is pretty low. Don't you think? Nene and her family are going through the same situation a lot of other Americans are going through during these rough times. I'd rather not know about this news as about as much as Nene wanted to keep it all a secret.

Tiffany On Dec 9, 2008 at 11:11 pm | Reply | Quote While I like NeNe, I think the entire show is as deplorable as the city of Atlanta. The show is the most accurate reflection of the people in Atlanta. Atlanta is the most shallow, fake posing, new money having city ever! As a New Yorker, I am used to people of all income levels and the poorest looking person being the richest (ie used to material goods). In ATL EVERYONE has to FLOSS!! I know this girl who had the toughest time getting her car valet’d because it was a Corolla (lol, but seriously). I also know Walmart cashiers who own Jaguars (wtf). Priorities are all screwed up here for real. Its not the school you attended or the degrees you have or its the number of hustles you have to get the goods necessary to floss. <>>>><<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Does one have a real job down there beside the Athletes that comes on the off season?....Every girl has the Louis Vuitoon bag that's $680.Where the hell is the creativity or balling skills?

what about Sheree, she just praying for a divorce settlement! i think FOX did this cause Anderson Cooper loves Nene! why not due an expose on the entire cast, why the Black hood black chick!

Morning Ladies!!! It will be yet another busy work day for me, so I will sneak in when I can!!! Not a fan of ATL housewives, they were all terrible so whatev about NeNe...:(

[quote comment="328499"]Ok. So Fox loses mad cool points the bunch of assholes...where were they during the N.Y. season of housewives when that ol horseface bitch and her hotel manager husband just kept trying 2 do it big and when we finally saw their house it was pretty much looking like a "during" picture...not b4 not after but during...and she said it had looked like that 4 a yr or more...talking about how her kids were "gifted" and one lil boy didn't even know his shape. Hell their castmates even called them out 4 being pretentious fakers and nary a news station on that breaking story....yeah Fox can kiss my ass[/quote] My Point Exactly!

So they got one angry white chic on FAUX News to talk bad about my girl NeNe Leakes... BS---that hoe need to sit down. I'm sorry but the RHA weren't the only ones renting houses, the NY and OC girls did/do too,so don't try to put "our" girls on blast...and not go after those heffas either... I hate FAUX News...digging up anyting...because they are Sore Losers! GET OVER IT...BARACK is your president too!

I hate the posing too and wish it would stop as well but because so many dislike "NeNe" and feel that the show is supposed to be real, she is getting a lot of unwarranted and unfair amount of public criticism. Why so much hostility towards here supposedly lying about her wealth or "Kim" lying about her age? It is just the show stars that are supposedly lying but also the producers of the show. I don't know if you got this people but most reality shows are more then 50% fake, constructed and portrayed. Anyone ever wondered why some of the biggest arguments, fights and shockers of reality shows seem to happen later in the shows season? Anyone ever wonder why there is always a fight or almost a fight at the VH1 series reunion shows? It is because of the producers. Did anyone really believe that "Real" on "Real Chance of Love" assaulted the guy when there was almost no news about on surfacing on the web about his arrest? Anyone ever wonder why all these so-called dating shows seem to have a second and third season almost immediately after the stars chosen their so-called "love of their lives"? Come one people wake up!. Tiffany "New York" Pollard is about to have 4th season of "I Love New York" after being on two seasons of "Flavor of Love" and do you guys believe that shit is real? Is anyone jumping down her throat for posing when on her third show she met with her producers to discuss another season of "I Love New York". That whole discussion was more how it would be a great opportunity for her and no mention about love. She even said that she was doing the show because she wasn't stupid enough to turn down a paycheck. Come on people, the Producers and creators of these shows are just as responsible as the stars of these shows if not more so.

People are not seeing through alot of FOX's "discovery". Why are they going through all this for a reality personality? It was never done for the OC or NY wives. Is it really that serious? I live in Atlanta and while I thought the ladies were over-the-top and poor representatives of the city and black women altogether, I still do not think they deserve to have a special report done like that. As well, Natasha should not be reveling in something like this.

Reality TV is scripted. hahaha! And why is she with my man?!!!
