NeNe Leakes is breaking down over the backlash she’s getting for telling a woman she hoped she'd get raped during her comedy show last Saturday night. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 49, videotaped herself crying about the disaster live on Instagram as a friend tried to comfort her. The video comes two days after NeNe posted an apology on Instagram, telling fans, “Sometimes words can cut deep and hurt when you have no intentions of them doing so…I hope people accept my deepest and sincerest apologies.” Click through to see NeNe’s breakdown.
In the video, NeNe cries, “It’s cause I said the wrong thing back.” Her friend responds, “You said it in a moment of passion. It wasn’t something that you…wrote in your script…That was something that happened in an instant.”
NeNe’s friend then implies that the person Nene yelled at had made racist remarks toward her and even told Nene to kill herself.
“Racism is very real, and it’s unfortunate that it had to come out that way,” Nene’s friend tells her as she continues wiping tears from her eyes. “But you know, it’s unfortunate to tell somebody to go kill themselves, too. Because had you killed yourself that night, would this woman be going through that?”

NeNe responds that people “don’t care” what the other person said to cause to her lash out: “All they care about is what I said.”
“At the end of the day…I never want to cause harm to anybody else, not in that kind of way,” NeNe adds. “Everybody who knows me knows that I never would want that to happen.”
NeNe’s racist remark comes on the heels of her fight with fellow RHOA star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her daughter Brielle Biermann, who posted a Snapchat video alleging she’d found cockroaches in NeNe’s home. NeNe responded on Instagram, calling Brielle “racist trash.” Kim told Larry King she’s hired “legal counsel” in the wake of the fight.
