NeNe Leakes is still bothered by her wrongful termination from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. The 53-year-old, who was let go for being insubordinate, is calling on her fans to join her in protest outside Bravo’s Atlanta studios.
RHOA’s first million-dollar contract holder tweeted: “Be Smart and DO NOT SUPPORT count down shows TONIGHT that aren’t supporting or respecting BLACK WOMEN creativity/equality and blacklisting us from working if we speak the truth abt their wrong doings [sic].”
She added: “Don’t believe me, believe your eyes… In 2021, we will form a March outside these racist studios #blackwomenmatter.”
Earlier, NeNe asked her followers to sign a petition and repost boycott flyers. She also asked fans to “turn off your TVs” and boycott the show.
NeNe retained the services of civl rights attorney Ben Crump in a bid to sue Bravo to get her job back.
During an Instagram live, the former stripper explained why she’s accusing Bravo of racism and age discrimination. She said her white counterparts on other ‘Housewives’ shows were paid more and “elevated” while she was “demoted.”
“It’s not so much about me having my own show… When you work at any company you want elevation. It’s about leveling up. Whether I’m an actress or an executive, everybody wants to level up on their opportunity or their job… as an original Housewife, a lot of these girls were being elevated, I was being demoted.
“I was given less and less episodes and these girls were given more and more episodes. I was given less. Original housewives across the board in different states, Beverly Hills, New Jersey, other places – they were given full seasons and I was given less episodes every season.”
