NeNe Leakes Calls RHOA 'Negative and Sad'
NeNe Leakes is speaking out against the negativity that was featured in the sixth season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
After the sixth season of the popular Bravo TV reality television series came to a close, the actress and only original star of the show Leakes is speaking out about her issues with it.
"Season six ended just the way many wanted … with foolery and the negativity of women sitting on the same couch belittling each other," Leakes wrote on her neneleakesofficial.com blog. "Many find it entertaining but I found it negative and sad at times!"
Still, Leakes took responsibility for her part in the matter and insisted she tried to start the season on a high note.
"Yes I am a part of this circle and I take full responsibility for my actions! Before you start rolling your eyes and poppin your gums, no one is perfect," she wrote. "When the season started I had just married my love, Gregg, and come off an amazing high right into a bunch of drama! It was a downer for me to say the least!"
While Leakes has been criticized for not owning up to her negative contributions on the show, she explained why she is not so quick to apologize for her actions.
"No harm intended and I don't apologize just for the sake of it," she wrote. "If I believe in something strongly I don't see the need to! I tend to say what many are thinking and I just don't practice lying!"
While the season had its share of physical altercations, Leakes insisted that "fighting is crazy." Despite all of the drama, she insisted that she learned a lot.
"I learned that TV friendships are just made for TV so thank God I have real friends! I learned that snakes are no longer in the grass, they are on TV and in designer clothing," she wrote. "I learned that no matter how successful I become, I will always have critics amongst this group of women! Lastly, I learned that what don't kill ya will definitely make you stronger!"
Leakes previously spoke about the show being a draining experience.
"There is a part of me that is tired. There's a part of me that doesn't want to sit on a panel and belittle each other all day long," she told Atlanta radio station V-103 recently. "I mean that's very draining. We shoot this show for over eight months."
