neneLeakes debuts her clothing line on HSN. Among the collections includes leggings, tunics, and dusters. Most of the items sell out in an hour.

Having my own line of affordable luxury clothing was just a dream a few years ago but with your enormous amount of support I was able to turn that dream into a reality. To hear women call into HSN and say that I was making women of all shapes and sizes feel fabulous and confident wearing The Nene Leakes Collection truly touched my heart!

NeNe Leakes interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Leakes during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and about her role in The New Normal. 

I play a character called Rocky, she’s one of the gays guys secretary. She’s outspoken, she uses her boss’s credit card without his knowledge, she’s funny, she’s lovable, and I think all the viewers are going to love me in the end. I’m having a great time. I’m so proud of the cast of ‘The New Normal,’ we have great people over there. We have Ellen Barkin, Justin Bartha, and Andrew Rannells. It’s going to be a really great show.

The New Normal

0 Comments

Leakes is cast to be a part of the show The New Normal set to air September 2012. Leakes will play Rocky,  a personal assistant. Recalling her reaction to reading the dialogue written for her character,

This is not a damn black woman. This is a white woman talking in this script. Every time I read the words, I think, this is nothing I would be saying.

Leakes is looking to transform with her acting.

I always say, being on a reality show is a blessing and a curse. You get these great opportunities, but people see me as NeNe. It’s tough for them to see Coach Roz [on ‘Glee’] or Rocky.

Leakes, Leakes divorce

0 Comments

Leakes divorce is finalized after 13 years of marriage.

Greg and I broke up for real. I’m a mom and divorce is very hard. It’s very difficult. I was heartbroken. I would never do that for a profile. Why would I need to do that? I lived all these years as Nene Leakes, before a camera ever rolled in my house. I was married for real. I gave birth for real, to his child. I would never do that.
