Bravo's, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, star, Nene Leaks, may have lost her coveted role on the reality show. During one of her stand up comedy shows at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, an audience member began to heckle Leaks, which infuriated the RHOA star. Leaks retaliated by telling the woman she hoped her Uber driver sexually assaulted her while taking her home.
The comment was in response to the audience member, who booed Leaks while she was on stage, which infuriated the reality television star. Nene retaliated with disgusting language, including the comment regarding rape.
Another audience member captured the moment on video, and posted it to their Facebook page; Leaks is heard saying," I hope he rapes your a-- tonight when he takes you home b---h." She ended the rape rant with what can be interpreted as a threat.
Leaks has since apologized for the elicit burst in a statement on her Facebook page saying that, "Sometimes words can cut deep and hurt when you have no intentions of them doing so." Leaks also claims that she did not think about her reaction, due to the extreme anger over the audience member telling Nene to kill herself. However, with the reality star being a victim of sexual assault herself, it was shocking to hear her wish that upon another woman.
Fans of the RHOA will not let Nene off the hook that easily, and they agree that her comment was not acceptable, even though they are still expressing their love for the hot-headed celebrity.
Nene feels betrayed
Kandi Burrus immediately fired Nene from the opening act of her Xscape Reunion Tour according to Reality Blurb, which has Nene feeling betrayed by her costars. In an article with Hollywood Life, a source close to Leaks says she feels like her friends, [Kandi and Tiny], were not there for her when she needed them most.

Zolciak is now threatening to sue Leaks for the public libel.
