'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Season 7: Claudia Jordan Reveals Friendly Past With NeNe Leakes, 'She Was Sweet' [VIDEO]
Viewers of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta were surely glued to the screen when Claudia Jordan and NeNe Leakes went head-to-head in one of the most epic reading sessions ever. But Jordan has revealed that she and Leakes actually have a past with one another.
She pointed out (via her Bravo blog) that she met Leakes years ago after Leakes asked her to host an event for her in Atlanta.
At the time America had already gotten to know Jordan on The Celebrity Apprentice and she had even hosted the Miss Universe Pageant. Jordan said she made her way to Atlanta to host the event and met Leakes days later.

"We took a group photo by the pool and chatted and she was sweet and very complimentary. I wondered why she would give up the hosting gig, but still was in town - but hey that was none of my business. That wasn't the only time we came in contact."
Jordan went on to say that she and Leakes interacted via red carpet interviews and snapped pictures together at various events. She even said Leakes often sent her kind tweets and she reciprocated.
In a tweet posted on the blog, Leakes wrote, "people hate because they can't do what u do! So do u boo boo".
That dates back to Nov. 29 of 2009.
Jordan added that given this history, she was "confused" when Leakes not only blew her off at Kandi Burruss' event, but told Porsha Williams that Jordan was "thirsty."

The show airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
