NeNe Leakes Sues Bravo and Andy Cohen, Saying Racism Accepted onATLANTA, GEORGIA - NOVEMBER 14: Nene Leakes attends the Ultimate Women's Expo at Cobb Galleria on November 14, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia. LOS ANGELES — Former star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”sued the companies behind the show on Wednesday, alleging that they fostered and tolerated a hostile and racist work environment.
“NBC, Bravo and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated – if not, encouraged,” the suit says. The suit says in 2012 during the fifth season, Zolciak-Biermann made “racially offensive and stereotypical” comments about the new home of housewife Kandi Burruss, calling her neighborhood a “ghetto” and perpetuating a racial stereotype in an offensive comment about whether Burruss needed a swimming pool.
“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. The suit says Leakes’ negotiations for the season came as the Black Lives Matter movement was gaining major momentum, with Leakes a vocal supporter.
