NeNe Leakes confirmed on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen Sunday night that there was some unspecified drama involving Wendy Williams and her husband Kevin Hunter at the Atlanta Women's Expo earlier in the day.
The two were scheduled speakers early in the afternoon at the Georgia World Congress Center back to back. Williams was set to go up first. Leakes told Cohen that something happened backstage with Williams' husband while she was on stage speaking to the audience.
LALate reported that Leakes allegedly threw some "shade" toward Williams on stage and that may have set off Williams' hubby. I was not there. I do not know. (I have to admit I was not sent any info about this expo and while I saw billboards about it, the entire event escaped my brain this weekend. Otherwise, I might have been tempted to check it out.)
Leakes has not been on "The Wendy Williams Show" since 2012 and the last time I spoke with Williams, she said she had stopped watching the show, calling the "Real Housewives" too "ratchet" even for her taste.
Williams gave a shout out to the expo attendees at the start of her show today, seen on Fox 5 at 10 a.m., and also credited photographer FreddyO with a nice photo of her. (Check out FreddyO's photo gallery here.) But she said nothing about NeNe.
His photo gallery does not show any interaction between NeNe and Wendy.
The expo featured Kim Zolciak, Melissa Gilbert, Tamika "Tiny" Harris, Nancy Grace, Tabatha Coffey, Jasmine Guy and Stephanie Mills, among others.
