NeNe Leakes Feels She Is Being Portrayed In A Bad Light
NeNe Leakes does not believe she is being portrayed in the best light on the sixth season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Leakes, the 46-year-old actress and cast member on the hit Bravo TV reality television series recently spoke to Essence.com about her portrayal.
"I feel like these networks and production companies- I'm just keeping it real- I just feel like they build you up to tear you down," she said. "I feel like they've done whatever they could do to try to not show me in the best light."

Leakes went on to explain her position on the matter.
"I feel like so many people cry wolf on editing. I'm just saying that they've done whatever they could to try to diminish anything that I've done and I'm okay with it because I know about reality TV," she said. "Every season there has to be a villain; there has to be somebody that straddles the fence, and there has to be a little (expletive) stirrer. All of those things make the show."
Kim Zolciak and Sheree Whitfield, the former cast members on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," recently spoke up about the current season of the popular Bravo TV reality television series. While Zolciak officially left the show after the fifth season, Whitfield departed after season four. However, the pair appeared on Bravo's late-night show, "Watch What Happens Live" recently where they opened up about how the show has changed.
Zolciak, 35, said when she joined the show it differed from what fans are currently watching.
"It was real. We were really mad," she said on the late night talk show. " Or we were really happy. We were really having a good time."
While Whitfield, 43, said the former cast "put our all into it," it seems the pair believe there are a lot more outside factors involved in stirring up drama on the show.
"It wasn't blogs creating it. Or it wasn't other people texting ... we were really mad or really happy," Zolciak said on "Watch What Happens Live." "These were issues that we were really going through. I really think people can sense that or feel that throughout the years."
