Nene Leakes in Negotiation Stages With Andy Cohen, Bravo, and NBCUniversal for Discrimination Lawsuit

According to the lawsuit, the reality star claimed she was the only one who had to deal with the network’s and each production company’s repercussions because they “foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated, if not, encouraged.”

Leakes has argued that as a result of speaking out, she has been “blacklisted” from getting other positions in the entertainment industry since the filing.

“I was constantly being retaliated against, being blacklisted, not able to work, being silenced, and so, you know, it was difficult to do.”

She said, “There’s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides. It has been hard, and I have made the very hard and very difficult decision to not be a part of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ Season 13. It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”
