ATL Housewives: Real Talk

DeShawn Snow

On the charity event that didn’t raise $1 million: “On the show, it made it seem like I lost money, but we actually broke even in the end. I could have planned more. I could have charged at the door. The auction was awful. That’s all they showed. But the party went great. More than 400 people learned about the foundation.”

On NeNe: “NeNe and I were very close during and after the taping. They didn’t show much of that. I respect her. She’ll say what she thinks to your face, not behind your back. I don’t hang out much with the other girls [except for the show].”

On the newfound fame: “I eat it up. I love the glitz and glamour and people recognizing me. It’s all exciting.”

Sheree Whitfield

On how she comes across on TV: “I’ve always been strong and confident. It comes across as a little cold.”

On her clothing line She by Sheree: “I’m looking to have it ready for fall of 2009. I’ll have samples ready for trade shows in February.”

On why she got her clothing samples so late before her fashion line intro party: “I had different seamstresses fall through. It’s hard to find good people. The clothing was supposed to be ready two weeks earlier. She didn’t finish in time. I put so much time and money into that viewing. It was never a fashion show. It was a viewing. I showed fabrics and sketches.”

On NeNe: “We weren’t friends going in. I didn’t have a lot of interaction with her on camera.”

On NeNe’s mockery of Kim: “It was very mean. … You’re responsible for what you say, whether you’re drunk, high or sober.”

NeNe Leakes

On the newfound fame: “I can’t leave the house without people knowing who I am. I love it. I have great fans!”

On mocking Kim’s singing: “I didn’t want to hurt Kim’s feelings. I didn’t mean to hurt Kim’s feelings. It was blown out of proportion. That was really a turning point in our relationship. She stopped talking to me. Since then, we’ve had a chance to talk a bit. I apologized.”

On creating drama: “I like to separate from people who bring drama to my life. Every new year, I go through my cellphone and look at my contacts. I delete everybody’s names who bring stress to my life.”

On being wealthy: “I live this great fabulous life. I’m blessed. But I’m not going to brag about it. I never talk about designers. I don’t need to die in Dior. I just want to be comfortable.”

Ne Ne you are a Drama Queen! You drink too much and that's why you said what you said. You wanted to make fun of Kim who clearly can't sing but you were suppose to be her girl and you dogged her out. I wonder if you weren't married to the money you are, who would you be? Surely not who you are today. Make the money honey, don't allow the money to make you. Take off the fake hair and get yours done. A real woman doesn't have to hide herself. You clearly don't hide your breasts so why hide your hair. Are you that insecure about your looks? Probably! That's probably also the reason you talked about Kim and Sheree. Jealousy honey, Jealousy! If your gay friend was a real friend, he would've told you some truths that he clearly hid but he's on his own drama juice. ILK!
