NeNe Leakes Explains Very Rich Statement: 10 Hot NeNe Quotes From 'RHOA'

During the premiere episode of season four of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” viewers watched as former friends NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield went toe-to-toe over an alleged financial fiasco and Leakes yelled at Whitfield, “I am very rich, b–ch!” During a recent trip to “The Wendy Williams Show,” Leakes chatted with the host about her “very rich” claims as well as the pitfalls of the entertainment industry.

While speaking with Williams, Leakes addressed Whitfield’s previous claims that Leakes’ time in the spotlight and on “Celebrity Apprentice” had changed her for the worse. Leakes fired back at Whitfield and admitted that she had changed, but only to survive the dog-eat-dog world of entertainment.


“I know Sheree is excited about people calling her name because nobody really even knows she’s on the show,” she said. “You have to change on a platform like this, when people are judging you and talking about you. You can’t stay the same.”


Williams then told Leake that she felt the reality star was misunderstood due to her size and color, but admitted that she felt Leakes is mean-spirited, prompting Leakes to explain herself and her troubles in the industry.

“I am not mean-spirited. No, I’m like this. I may say something and the delivery may not be the right way, but I’m telling you like I mean it. I’m not one of those girls who will sweet talk … I’ll just tell you and I don’t really mean any harm by it, I’ll just tell you like it is.”


Williams maintained her opinion of Leakes, but contended that she felt the “RHOA” star is a successful woman who’s found herself alone in the world, leaving her overly defensive to others.

“It’s very difficult. You can’t trust a lot of people. Your girlfriends all change. Your family is now against you. It’s unreal. You can’t trust a lot of people. So, you have like these walls up,” NeNe revealed. “This has been a very difficult time for me.”

Turning to a lighter topic, the two then discussed Leakes “very rich” comment. Though Williams mentioned that Leakes’ estimated net worth is $3.5 million, Leakes explained that her comment was about more than just money, but also her life in general.

“I’m not really just talking about money. I’m rich in so many other ways. I’m rich in life. I’m rich in health. I’m rich in spirit,” NeNe said.

Leakes may view her comment as a rich and layered proclamation, but fans surely see it as another entertaining catchphrase from the pop culture icon. Here are 10 other quotes by the “RHOA” star. –nicholas robinson
