Real Housewives of Atlanta NeNe Leakes can finally put her failed spin-off behind her with tonight, hopefully successful, Dancing with the Stars Season 18 cast debut. Spoilers: Dancing star from season's past Wendy Williams wants Leakes and the whole world to know that no matter what, NeNe will never be this year's winner.
NeNe Leakes isn't going to be able to escape the catty drama of Housewives just by appearing on another show; arch nemesis Wendy Williams is going to make sure of that.
Mrs. Leakes is always ready to jump at the chance to extend her national exposure, so DWTS provides NeNe with the opportunity to reach audience that she might have missed with Glee and Real Housewives.
Leakes told Andy Cohen that she was nervous about the Dancing debut, but that could just be from being so close to new love of her life Tony Dovolani (via SheKows):
"I'm super nervous. I am dancing live tomorrow. I'm actually going to open the show. I will be the first dancer on stage and I'm going to do the cha cha.
"I have definitely fallen in love with Tony. Our last name is Leakesvolani. We definitely have a connection. I just love him to death."
But to hear Wendy Williams tell it NeNe is getting herself all worked up over nothing.
In between one of the thousands of diatribes delivered on Wendy's Show, she turned her attention towards NeNe Leakes' chances of winning the show and threw shade all over them (via Radar Online):
"As I predicted, Tony Dovolani--my former partner--will be NeNe's partner because he always gets the big ones.
"Let's see how this is going to play out. Tony has already won a Mirror Ball Trophy. He's very, very serious about his dancing. He does not play around... but he's not a reason to leap out of bed and run to practice.
"NeNe, I don't know if you're disciplined like that to be dancing every single day.
"He's not fun, NeNe. I wish you well, but you all aren't going to win."
So sad...haters going to hate; NeNe don't pay it no mind.
Be sure to catch Dancing with the Stars every Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
