NeNe Leakes' rep has denied recent reports claiming that she has been “forced to sit out” of filming so far for the upcoming twelfth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “I can say with authority that there is absolutely no truth to this,” the rep told Us Weekly.
“The only reason why she’s not currently shooting is because she is still in active negotiations with her contract.”
The news comes after LoveBScott.com reported that Leakes was "forced to sit out" from filming the new season, which kicked off about two weeks ago after allegedly getting psychical with cameraman during her "Bye Wig" party during the show's eleventh season.
The outlet reported the following: "NeNe’s altercation with producers was way more intense than we saw. We saw NeNe rip a cameraman’s shirt, but Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss shared that one of the crew members ended up in the hospital with a missing tooth after NeNe put her hands on him."
The outlet continued: "In addition to NeNe’s ‘bad attitude’ in dealing with producers and execs behind the scenes, sources tell lovebscott.com that NeNe has been forced to “sit out” for at least the first part of the season — maybe longer — as the ladies begin filming."
"NeNe is being paid per episode, so every filming she misses is money out of her pocket," stated the outlet, adding, "The network is on the hunt for a new housewife with a BIG name to draw viewers."
