BET.com:

The midseason trailer of Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta is filled with drama.

RHOA vet NeNe Leakes found herself in the middle of the chaos. 

While her castmates talked were shown celebrating marriages, gender reveals and budding relationships, Leakes was engaged in a physical altercation.

A source spilled the tea on the incident during an interview with Radar Online. According to the source, NeNe  "completely lost it that day." Leakes reportedly experienced a breakdown because of her husband, Gregg Leakes' cancer diagnosis and wound up in an altercation with her on-again off-again frenemy, Marlo Hampton.

"She was so mad and so out of control that she dragged the camera crew out of her house,” the source said.

The reality star was captured screaming, "Let's be clear b*tch, I will f**k you up." Things wound up heating up even more intense during the showdown. "NeNe made the whole crew leave, the camera guys and the producers. She threw them out," the insider alleged.

NeNe Leakes Says Husband Gregg Is Doing 'Really, Really Well' After 5-Hour Cancer Surgery

People.com:

Gregg Leakes is recovering after undergoing a 5-hour surgery for his cancer treatment, his wife NeNe Leakes said Tuesday.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who went public with his health diagnosis back in June, had the surgery on Monday. The exact procedure — along with which form of cancer he’s been battling — has been kept private for now.

Prior to surgery, NeNe had asked fans on Instagram to keep Gregg in their thoughts.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann Claims 'RHOA' Racism Comments Were Edited Out of Context

People.com:

Kim Zolciak-Biermann wants to set the record straight.

The reality TV star, who recently wrapped a return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta, released a lengthy statement about comments she made during the three-part reunion show. After the reunion wrapped, Kim, her husband Kroy Biermann, reunion host and Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen and several others were in the bathroom for a candid conversation.

During the aired portions, Kim said, "This whole racism thing in this day and age is bulls—t. Everyone one of those motherf—kers on that couch owes this world a f—kin' apology for this racism s—t. They already tried to claim that s—t long ago, Sheree [Whitfield], as you know. Nobody really bought into it because social media wasn't there and racism wasn't all that f—king real. And you know it."

In her statement, released by publicist Jack Ketsoyan, Kim said the comments were edited out of context.

"During the last RHOA Reunion episode, I made a comment that confused and offended people. I sincerely apologize. Edited out of context, I understand why my remark angered people.

"Racism is a sad reality in the United States. It has been prevalent throughout our country's history. Let me be very clear, I do NOT support, tolerate or put up with any form of racism, hate or other discrimination. My love for ALL people runs deep—I am open to all and always have been," Kim said.

"I was heartbroken when I watched the last few minutes of the episode and saw how my words were taken out of context. My comment that seemingly 'racism didn't exist 10 years ago' was made as part of a larger, emotional 45-minute conversation about how, sadly, social media has become a hub for hate. Immediately following my confusing comment, I also said that 'it's not as real as it is now' referring to the power of social media. But those remarks didn't make the show.

"I believe that social media has made a centuries-old issue more real. Before social media, the public simply observed the news. Now, the public actively participates and has an opportunity to take action—in real time," she continued.

What Does Marlo Hampton Do For A Living?

BravoTV.com:

For years, one question has plagued fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta like no other: What exactly does Marlo Hampton do for a living? Many have posed that question since we first met Marlo on RHOA, including her fellow Georgia Peaches. However, we haven't really been able to get to the heart of Marlo's career — that is, until now. 

When The Daily Dish caught up with Marlo earlier this season, she called the speculation surrounding her occupation "just crazy." She also has an explanation for why it may seem like she has a multitude of diverse interests. Marlo has described herself as everything from a style maven to an etiquette expert over the years, after all. "I'm an Aquarius. You always have to have 50 different things going on — not one, two, three, four, five," Marlo explained. "If it ain't 50 or more, something's wrong."

Well, Marlo doesn't have quite 50 jobs, but she's pretty darn close. Find out all of the ways that Marlo spends her days, below.

She's a Designer

Marlo doesn't just wear other people's clothes; she also designs her own. She's launching an accessories brand called Arie and Emma, which is named after her grandmother and mother, respectively, that will include sunglasses and jewelry. You can get in touch with your shady self by purchasing some fierce T-shirts that feature the words "The Shade Is Real" and Marlo's fabulous face through her website now.

Marlo thanks her grandmother Arie and mother Emma for her passion for fashion. "Both of them are always fabulous at church with the big hats, the jewelry, so it's literally in my DNA," she told The Daily Dish. 

Marlo has been sharing her sartorial expertise with the world as a stylist with the majority of her work being done as a "ghost stylist," kind of like a ghostwriter where it's not publicly known that you're providing styling services for an individual. "I like that better. I feel good when I see my work out there," she said. "I just give them a wink, 'Hey, thanks for the check. You look fabulous.'"

NeNe Leakes’ Husband Gregg Suffers Medical Emergency During ‘RHOA’ Taping

BET.com:

Filming has not been so pleasant for Real Housewives of Atlanta couple NeNe and Gregg Leakes as the latter has reportedly suffered a stroke while filming the show's 10th season.

According to Radar Online, a production insider for the Bravo reality series revaeled that the unfortunate situation was filmed for the show's upcoming season, and his health will serve as a focal point for NeNe's story line.

"Gregg had what his doctors believe was a stroke," the insider revealed. "The RHOA cameras filmed the entire ordeal for the show — including his visit to the emergency room and the aftermath. Gregg's health serves as a major storyline for NeNe on season 10."

On the bright side, Gregg is expected to fully recover from the incident, but "has been ordered to bed rest due to his age, family history and heavy work load."

A rep for NeNe denied the report that her husband suffered a stroke. However, the reality star recently told her fans that Gregg was dealing with an "health issue," telling them, "My husband Gregg, as you guys know, he's my everything. We have been together for 20 years. We're dealing with a little bit of a health issue right now, but prayers are going up and fingers are crossed that he's going to be just fine."

Matt Jordan Threatens Ex-Girlfriend Kenya Moore Before Hitting Her Driver

People.com:

The saga of Kenya Moore and ex-boyfriend Matt Jordan’s tumultuous relationship took a scary turn on Sunday’s all-new episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta — as fans got to see the violent extremes Jordan would go to get her back.

The two had been on a break in recent weeks, failing to reconcile after Jordan angrily kicked-in Moore’s garage-door window. Despite asking for forgiveness and another chance, Moore was unable to look past his jealousy and anger. The last thing fans saw was an upset Jordan calling Moore “manipulative and fundamentally deceptive” before speeding off.

They’d stayed in communication, though. And when Cynthia Bailey‘s ex Peter Thomas invited Jordan to the opening of his new club in Charlotte, North Carolina — an event Moore was scheduled to host — the 45-year-old former Miss USA initially obliged. “Matt needs his guy time, and the last thing I want to do is alienate him from his friends,” she explained.

But as the event drew near, Moore hand a change of heart. “I realized, ‘You know what, Matt — you have not worked a minute on yourself,’ ” she said. ‘You are not in the head space to be around me, let alone in a public setting where we arguing could probably ruin Peter’s opening night.’ ” She therefore told Thomas, who has paid for Jordan’s airfare, to cancel the ticket.

Thomas did so, but somehow Jordan missed the memo. When he arrived at the airport for his flight, he learned the ticket wasn’t there — and took to social media to express his outrage. “Guess who cancels my ticket? Kenya Moore,” Jordan told his followers in an angry video before telling them he’d be driving down to Charlotte to attend the event regardless.

He also began texting a scared Moore —words she read to a “freaking out” Bailey. “He’s threatening me to come back to him or he’s going to go ham,” Moore explained.

Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton Allegedly Returning to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

Wetpaint.com:

Filming for Season 8 of Real Housewives of Atlanta is already underway, and even though Bravo won’t confirm who is in the cast until about six weeks before the fall premiere, a new photo seems to indicate both Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield are back for more of the hit show.

The former RHOA stars were spotted by Instagram of Atlanta at a private event in ATL this past weekend alongside current RHOA star Cynthia Bailey. A peek at Cyn’s Instagram tells us this event was actually the Atlanta launch for her eyewear collection, so it makes sense for the gals to show up and support Cynthia, especially if cameras were rolling.

As if this photo wasn’t enough evidence of Marlo and Sheree’s likely return to reality TV, after months of speculation we’re hearing Sheree finalized a contract to return for Season 8 while Marlo is rumored to have done the same.

Avid RHOA watchers will likely remember that Sheree was replaced by current cast member Kenya Moore at the start of Season 5, which has led many to speculate there could already be bad blood between the pair.

Marlo, who filtered in and out during Seasons 4-6, is a nemesis of NeNe Leakes, so in a weird way it makes sense for her to be brought back and replace the departing H’wife. The fierce fashionista also told Wetpaint in an exclusive interview earlier this summer she’d “definitely” come back to RHoA, which makes her return even mcore likely.

Andy Cohen recently said he had “no info” on who might be joining RHoA Season 8, but if you ask us, this photo tells a different story!

NeNe Leakes Denies Cast Trying to Keep Porsha Williams On the Show

ChristianPost.com:

NeNe Leakes is denying that her fellow "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast members have come together in an attempt to stop Porsha Williams from being kicked off the show.

Kenya Moore Moore, the 43-year-old former beauty queen was allegedly assaulted by Porsha Williams, 32, after the former reportedly continued to mock the latter's public divorce from former NFL player Kordell Stewart. After sources like Radar Online, Us Weekly and TMZ shared the news complete with accounts of what took place from anonymous witnesses, news surfaced that the show's stars refused to sign new contracts if Williams was booted.

However, Leakes, 46, insists those reports are false.

"I don't know where that came from. I've never said that," Leakes insisted to ESSENCE magazine. "We don't group up together to do much. You know all of us aren't goosing up together to be going to bat for Porsha."

She revealed why the likelihood of the rumors were not true.

"We don't collectively do anything. But I will say this, I don't think that Porsha deserves to get fired based on the fight with Kenya," Leakes told the magazine. "I do think she was on the chopping block before she got into the fight. Fighting Kenya did not help her case."

A 911 tape featuring Moore surfaced online, where Moore does tell authorities that she was assaulted. However, the former beauty queen took to Twitter to speak about the matter shortly after it took place.

"#TeamTwirl one thing u will NEVER see me do is fight," Moore tweeted. "Your brain and tongue are your most powerful weapons."

While E! News reports that the altercation did take place, sources tell the publication that it was not as dramatic as some have reported. Another source told Us Weekly Moore was not badly injured but did not rule out the possibility of her pressing charges against Williams.

Despite the severity of the altercation, Williams may now be in hot water after the dispute. The Bravo television series producers reportedly have a zero tolerance policy for violence after a brawl involving Apollo Nida and Brandon DeShazer took place earlier in season six of the show.

While the decision to cut Williams from the cast has not been officially made, TMZ is reporting that sources close to the situation believe she is on the chopping block after recent events.

Porsha Williams Spills Her Version Of Why NeNe Leakes Didn't Fight Back Against Marlo Hampton

Ummm, it's actually called Marlo Hampton having an extensive arrest receord and NeNe Leakes knowing damn well whose face she can get in (without getting her ass kicked) and whose she can't:

While we watched Marlo Hampton completely lose it on NeNe Leakes on last night’s February 23 episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta — calling her former bestie “dumb as f—,” “insecure,” and even dissing her hair — Mrs. Leakes refused to lash back. It seemed really unlike the OG Atlanta lady to not take her verbal shots when she had the chance, but apparently there was a very good reason.

On last night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen grilled NeNe’s RHoA co-star Porsha Williams on why the Glee star didn’t stop walking away, turn around, and take Marlo down. 

Andy had his own theory on the situation. “I think NeNe left because she did not want to get in her face,” he muses. “She was trying to stop herself.”

But Porsha has a little behind the scenes scoop that better explains why Linnethia didn’t retaliate on the Friend of the Housewives. 

“Marlo was just viciously coming after her. I think NeNe didn’t want to go there maybe because her son was in that park, too. What you didn’t see was Brentt was standing right there to the side,” Porsha reveals. 

Ah, it all makes sense now! We know that family has always come first for NeNe, and we can imagine she would never want her impressionable 15-year-old son to see his mother act a fool. Come to think of it, Marlo should probably be thanking Brentt right about now...

NeNe Leakes Shares Why Marlo Hampton Was Never Asked To Be A Housewife

Wetpaint.com:

Have you heard the tragic news? Professional pot-stirrer Marlo Hampton was once again not offered a spot on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We know, right? How could Bravo pass up an opportunity to work with this living legend?!

The good news? Marlo is featured in NeNe Leakes' spin-off wedding special, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding. In fact, she's one of NeNe's bridesmaids, and yeah –– girlfriend brought all kinds of deranged drama to the nuptials. 

Nene recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly that Marlo was one of the most difficult people she had to deal with while planning her wedding, and thinks her bad 'tude is the reason she didn't nab a spot on The Real Housewives of Atlanta after she appeared as a “friend” of the H’wives in Season 4..

"The most difficult people were Marlo Hampton and Diana Gowins," NeNe said. "When I say difficult, it was unbelievable that they could not step outside of themselves and say that this is a wedding for NeNe, our friend, and let’s just be here to support her. They argued most of the time, they were never really satisfied.

They were very difficult in different ways. After working with Marlo on the show, I could see why she was not a housewife, because she’s super difficult. She’s super extra."

Fans were shocked that Marlo wasn't invited to be a housewife, but NeNe hardly seems surprised. "When Marlo and I worked on Real Housewives, she was just appearing here and there," she explains. "When we worked on I Dream of Nene, I could see her business sense, and it just wasn’t attractive…. They [Nene and Diana] forgot that the word bridesmaid ends in 'maid.' Just wear what I ask you to wear, just do that.”
