Wendy claims that she and Leakes had a fallout after the Georgia peach let fame change her for the worst. "So here's what I feel happened between us," Wendy said. "When we first met NeNe on the Housewives, she was like our big mouth friend who would say it like she meant it. She had a cute family, the laugh and that whole bit, just like keeping it real with NeNe. And then all of a sudden the paychecks got bigger and I feel the fame got in the way of remembering who we liked her for."
"And then you started acting like a real jerk on the show," Wendy continued and NeNe pretended to look shocked. "We talk about this don't look shocked...look, she started acting like a bighead jerk and million-dollar paycheck or whatever they're paying you or not, we missed the girl that we knew. And then all of a sudden you stuck with that character so I was like, 'I'm done with NeNe.'"
But Leakes claimed that things went down differently between her and Williams. "That's her version, I know y'all hear mine," NeNe said. "You know how Wendy does her Hot Topics...and it was just 'NeNe, this.' 'NeNe, that.' And I was just like, 'Well, dang, she is just really running my name in the dirt"
She continued, "Then one day [Williams] was like, 'NeNe and her Birkin --' and I was like, 'That's it!'"
"When you marked up the Birkin!" Wendy said, laughing. "And you called me a bitch or something... You called me a man or something!"
While the two did not agree on how they had fallen out, Williams revealed that after filing for divorce, she reached out to Leakes personally to find a resolution and rekindle their relationship. After the phone call, Leakes revealed that she rescheduled her plans and decided to fly to NYC to see Williams.
"She didn't say to come but I knew you needed me, honey, " NeNe said to Wendy. "So I jumped on a plane and I went straight to her."
"Regardless to whatever happened, the thing that I loved the most is when I got on the flight and we were meeting in the restaurant -- when I got to the restaurant -- It was almost like we never missed a beat," NeNe recalled. "We were just right back into it."
