Cynthia Bailey reveals that she tried to bring NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore during Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta but Leakes is sharing a different story and is denying Bailey's claim.
“I tried. I tried. You’ll see in the season. I tried to connect those two, and let’s just say it was not a love connect,” Cynthia told Us Weekly. “And I am out of the matchmaking business. I’m done.”
However, when the publication asked NeNe about the topic, she fired back at Bailey's claims.
“Cynthia has never tried to get me and Kenya back to together. She’s always tried to get Kenya back with other people, but where I was concerned, she’s never tried to get us together,” she told Us Weekly. “For whatever reason, I don’t know why that is.”
While NeNe and Kenya don't see eye to eye, the original Georgia peach admits that her nemesis makes a great cast member on the Bravo hit reality series.
“I think Kenya’s great for the show. So I didn’t feel any kind of way other than, look, I’m here on the show,” NeNe explained. “I’ve been on the show for many years and I want the show to stay around for the next 10 or 15 years.”
According to NeNe, she didn't see Kenya that much while filming this season.
“I wasn’t around her that often,” she said. “Only when [the whole] cast [was there], that’s when I was around her. Obviously we’re not friends, so we’re not around each other like that.”
NeNe also reveals who's she's closest too and makes it clear she doesn't need anyone to fight her battles.
“I’m a strong woman and I can stand alone and I can fight all my battles by myself. I don’t need anyone to have my back, I got my back by myself,” she told Us Weekly. “But Marlo is definitely a cool person with me. I feel like she will have my back when she needs to have my back. When every one of these girls around me know that I’m a strong person and I don’t need anybody to have my back. And yeah, I don’t need anybody to have my back, I’m good. But I’m happy to film with Kandi, Marlo. … I was happy to film with Tanya and I was happy to film with Eva.”
