Nene Leakes may have learned a lesson or two from Jill Zarin. Never film or quarrel with your arch nemesis when they are set to appear in a spin-off. It will only help them become relevant and get tons of sympathy.
Bravo producers along with Kim Zolciak tried to get Nene to film a scene with Kim. They wanted Nene to sit down on camera with Kim and talk about what went wrong. Like they did on The Real Housewives of New York with Jill and Bethenny. According to an insider, unlike Jill, Nene Leakes did not fall for it. She knew there was a rat somewhere and refused. Nene knew Kim would be getting a spin-off and Bravo would edit Kim to look more sympathetic. Like Bravo did Jill. So Nene stayed far away from Kim all season refusing to speak or film with her. Good for Nene, only if she would have avoided Sheree, who is basically invisible, she would have been off to a great start.
Nene plan maybe working. Kim is looking less interesting this season without Nene. They really complemented each other. I don't believe Kim Zolciak show will be successful. She is just not interesting enough to watch. Just like Bethenny show is now struggling for viewer ratings.
