NeNe Leakes Andy Cohen Interview: Talks Teresa Giuidice, Melissa Gorga, Brandi Glanville & Porsha Stewart (VIDEO)
NeNe Leakes appeared on the Bravo special, Watch What Happens Live: Ne Ne One On One, on Sunday and talked about all the different Housewives branches.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star spoke with the show’s host, Andy Cohen, and didn’t hold back when asked to give her thoughts on Brandi Glanville, and the castmembers of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“Brandi’s just a train wreck. Just a wreck. Just a wreck,” Leakes told Cohen. “She’s just off the chain, she’s off the hook [with] a lot of the things that she has to say, just so talkative.”
Leakes defended her remarks on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star by saying that Glanville because says “a lot of stuff that she needs to NOT say. She’s going to get read.”
When Cohen asked Leakes to explain, she said Glanville says too much “just negative stuff, things like she thinks she’s a gangsta, or something."
"She thinks she can get in people’s faces and say whatever she wants to say," she added. "I like her when she’s not drinking. Brandi and drinks don’t work for me.”
When asked her thoughts on other RHOBH stars, she said Lisa Vnderpump is “very weird.”
Leakes said she saw Vanderpump at the Bravo Upfronts in New York City last month and that she was “looking really thin... and that’s probably because of the Dancing with the Stars thing.”
When asked to share her honest thoughts on The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast, Leakes said, “I like Jersey. I just think they’re such gangstas. I just love them.
"They’re so entertaining to me but you know what? They’re getting a little too nasty,” she added.
Leakes said she initially liked Teresa Giuiduice but then changed her mind and became a fan of Melissa Gorga. Now she doesn’t like “either one of them.”
“I feel for Teresa because there’s something about being the first one in–when you’re the first one in on one of these shows and somebody comes behind you, it’s sort of like, hold on, you need to respect the veteran,” she explained of Gorga. “’I was here first…you need to play on my territory’. So I kind of sided with Teresa in that area. Melissa, you came on her show. So you watched her on television and you wanted to be on the show like she was. No, girl, take a seat now! You’re not a veteran.”
Leakes revealed she witnessed tension among the RHONJ cast members at the Bravo Upfronts event. She noticed that though they posed together on the red carpet, they seemed "separate."
“I saw Teresa on one end and Melissa on that end. ‘My position is over here because I don’t want to pose next to her.’ It’s really weird," Leakes noted. "I know from being a housewife–I can look and I say, okay, they’re not getting along.”
Leaked said she isn’t a fan of the husbands on RHONJ because Joe Gorga, who is Melissa Gorga’s husband, “really seemed like he wanted to have a relationship with (his sister) Teresa." However, to get their parents involved - "I don’t like that.”
