The cold war between former friends, talk show host Wendy Williams, 50 and The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes, 47, erupted at The Ultimate Women's Expo at Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta on Sunday.
Not only were both women registered as keynote speakers, they also spoke back-to-back. To make matters worse, their dressing rooms were conveniently right next to each other. The whole brouhaha started when Wendy's entourage realized that her dressing room was next to NeNe's.
Her husband Kevin Hunter who is also her manager demanded they moved NeNe's dressing room far from his wife's. While they were still working on that, Wendy went on stage to do a keynote address to the thousands in attendance and talked about 'ten rules every woman should live by.'
NeNe used to be friends with Wendy before they had a fight over a tweet NeNe made about Reality stars and Wendy's reaction to it by insulting Nene's sitcom, this incident happened in 2013 and they stopped being friends.
Anyways, after Wendy's keynote address, she was followed on stage by Leakes who addressed the audience by saying: 'I'm your home girl. I live my life as an open book and I'm happy I don't need ten rules to live by!'
That pissed Williams' husband off!
According to the eyewitness at the event, Kevin pushed through the curtains and stormed the stage and was cursing at the top of his lungs. 'He kept yelling 'get her m*********ing ass off the stage. We don't f*** with her! Wendy don't f*** with her. Cut that b****'s mic off!!"
While he was on stage, NeNe's friend Diana Gowins jumped on stage and confronted Kevin Hunter asking 'What the hell is your problem? If you have a problem with NeNe, take it up with me!'
Those two kept going at it for a long time until the event organizers called security to diffuse the situation.
While this commotion was going on, Wendy was busy signing her book unaware of what was going on between her husband and Diana.
In his anger, Kevin asked Wendy to cut her book signing short, which angered the crowd and they started booing him..
Wendy Williams and her Husband..
By the time Kevin and Wendy got through the other side of the curtains, the event organizers and security were waiting for them and four police officers escorted them off the premises and to their waiting car,' the source disclosed.
Organizers of The Ultimate Women's Expo had to refund 80 tickets for patrons who paid to get autographed books from Williams but couldn't because her husband made her leave abruptly.
Nene even acknowledged there was drama ....
