Wendy Williams Show News: TV Host & NeNe Leakes Still Feuding, Camps Clash at Women's Expo in Atlanta
The simmering feud between reality TV star NeNe Leakes and talk show host Wendy Williams was sparked anew recently when their entourages squared off in Atlanta.
According to the YBF, the reps for longtime rivals went toe-to-toe last weekend at a Women's Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center during which Leakes delivered the keynote address .
The Daily Mail reports, when the 50-year-old Williams arrived at the event with her entourage, they quickly realized her dressing room had been set up next to that of 47-year-old Leakes. That sent Williams' husband and manager Kevin Hunter into a rage and prompted him to demand that they be separated.
Hunter's ire was again raised when Leakes seemed to mock the part of Williams' speech where she outlined "10 rules every woman should live by."
"I'm your home girl," Leakes told the crowd when she followed Williams to the stage. "I live my life as an open book, and I'm happy I don't need 10 rules to live by."
Hunter then stormed the stage, demanding that Leakes' microphone be turned off and she be kicked off stage. As he approached the stage, he was confronted by supporters for Leakes.
Event organizers then summoned security and shortly thereafter four police officers escorted Williams and her husband off the premises and to their waiting vehicle. Reportedly, event staffers were forced to refund as many as 80 tickets for patrons who paid to get autographed books from Williams.
Williams and Leakes were friends during her early years of starring on the "Real Housewives of Atlanta," but their relationship reportedly began to sour as far back as two years ago stemming from a "Hot Topics" segment Williams did on her talk show that referenced Leakes.
Prior to then, Leakes had appeared on the "Wendy Williams Show" on several occasions and during one episode gifted the host with a $3,200 black Celine Phantom bag.
