NeNe Leakes, a former housewife from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is suing the show's network, Bravo, for allegedly condoning a racist work environment. Leakes was one of the original housewives for the Atlanta spin-off of the franchise and always prides herself on being one of the contributing members that made the show possible. Because of this, the TV personality and actress always expected respect and loyalty from her other cast members, and when it was not given, there was usually a feud-filled season between Leakes and that cast member.

Leakes, who is also a businesswoman and author, appeared in seasons 1 to 7 of the reality series and then again in seasons 10 to 12, and announced her departure right before season 13.

Even though Leakes hinted that she may return to the show, the star continued to make her allegations about racism and discrimination towards the network, and this led to her being allegedly blacklisted by Bravo.
