NeNe Leakes & Kenya Moore Fight On 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 6 Premiere, Leakes Explains Why She Walked Away (VIDEO)
Kenya Moore and NeNe Leakes' heated argument became physical when the former Miss USA pageant winner grabbed Leakes' ear during the season 6 premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The reality star confronted Leakes about why she invited her ex-boyfriend Walter Jackson to her June 22 wedding to Gregg Leakes. Jackson and Moore's relationship and split played out during season 5 of TRHOA. NeNe said in her confessional that because her husband is friends with Jackson, they invited him to their $1.8 Atlanta nuptials.
Moore began the rift by telling Leakes she did not appreciate hearing that Jackson attended the wedding. She also asked NeNe why she didn't offer any support during her July eviction from her rented Atlanta mansion.
"I appreciate that you gave me an invitation, but please tell me that you didn't invite Mr. Tow Truck Driver," Moore asked.
After Leakes explained why she invited Jackson, Moore grabbed her ear while telling her she needs to use them to allow her to talk.
"You are invading my personal space," Leakes fumed as she pushed Moore's hand away. "As a grown woman I make my decisions! No b---h or any friend I have will tell me who I can and cannot talk to!"
When NeNe walked away from Moore and told her she is "gone," Moore referenced her song and said she is "gone with the wind fabulous."
"Gone With The Wind Fabulous is last year! She needs to try to come up with something new!' NeNe fired back. "Gone With The Wind Fabulous is clearly gone... and so is Walter!"
NeNe explained her side of the story in her Bravo blog this week.
"She approached me about why Walter was invited to my wedding and why I hadn't reached out to her during her eviction drama. So let me answer! Surely someone who claims to be a top actress, producer, and director who is selling DVDs everywhere is not evicted!" she wrote. "Besides this was not national news. This was on a few blogs. I didn't feel the need to reach out about gossip."
"Why I invited Walter is simple: I was getting married! I will repeat, I was getting married, which means I invite whoever the hell I choose!," she added.
NeNe also wrote that she walked away from Moore after her ear was grabbed because she knew it was a ploy to get a physical reaction out of her.
"My Twitter blew up and my phone just about caught on fire when Kenya grabbed my ear. I have come a long ways baby! I know when somebody wants a reaction out of me for their own purposes," she wrote. "I know water is free in America, but so many of these girls are thirsty! I'm not willing to risk what I have, what I have worked for, and what I have become for somebody that has been on a 20 year hiatus! Now had that been me all up in somebody's personal space, I would be called a bully, violent, aggressive, mean, and everything else, but it's OK for people to violate me?"
The Real Housewives of Atlanta will premiere a new episode on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. EST.
