NeNe Leakes addresses ‘RHOA’ exit in Tamron Hall interview

Reality TV

NeNe Leakes is set to address her exit from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” with Tamron Hall Friday, a preview clip of which was sent out Thursday.

In the interview, which will air Oct. 2, Hall addresses Leakes at one point by saying, “NeNe, you didn’t know I could see you in the commercial break. You’ve been crying this entire break.

“You said you want to meet potentially with the folks over at Bravo behind the scenes if you think that something can be worked out,” Hall continues. “These allegations, again, very serious. Discrimination, bullying.”

Leakes, 52, obliquely referenced difficulties with Bravo in August, tweeting “U hav [sic] tried to lessen me & make me insignificant for the last few years! That ends now! Wanna talk publicly or privately?” amid her negotiations with the network.

“I can’t tell you everything that I want from them but I can tell you that I want fair treatment,” Leakes responds to Hall in the clip. “I deserve fair treatment. I haven’t done anything that no one else has done there, or haven’t done even worse … I don’t deserve this treatment. I’m as confused as you are.”

Fair treatment — or its lack — from Bravo is a repeated theme from Leakes, whose August tweets also included videos of fights from the “Real Housewives” franchise alongside news of former series stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Lisa Vanderpump and their spinoffs.

“No Equality,” she wrote. “If I have to stand alone. I will!”

Asked by Hall if she would return to the show at this point, Leakes responded, “No, I do not.”

Leakes has been taking a scorched-earth approach to her exit from the show, deriding Wendy Williams and Andy Cohen — who discussed her exit on “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this week — as “cocaine head” and “racist,” respectively.
