NeNe Leakes Talks Fashion, Former Friends & Being Original ATL Housewife

I feel I have definitely grown since season one. I also think about the years that have passed. When we started, my youngest son was in the third grade. Now he’s in the 10th grade. My oldest son was in the twelve grade and now he’s 24 years old with a daughter.

On her friendship with Cynthia Bailey:

Cynthia and I did form a real friendship over the years we were on the show together. I don’t think the viewers know that I never knew her until she signed up to do the show. When you guys are getting to know us, we’re getting to know each other. Sometimes you meet people and you like them. Then as you get to know them, you think, “You know, I actually thought I liked her…but…I don’t.”

On her real girlfriends:

I love my girlfriends and love being with them, going out in our neighborhood for a drink, where we don’t have to wear make up or going to lunch with them.
