“I thought NeNe would be a little more open with just being cool to the fun girl, the new girl. I was kinda shocked when she was coming for me,” Jordan said. “I didn’t come on the show to try to go at NeNe or try to get fame or anything. I was surprised by the some of the hostility I got from her and we have had no negative history.”

She added that she came on the show as a “peacemaker” and wants nothing that Leakes is currently peddling. “I’m not trying to take her man. I’m not trying to steal her clothing line idea. I’m not trying to play the evil stepmother on Broadway. I’m not trying to do anything that NeNe’s doing,” Jordan said.

Jordan also addressed the “minimal” backlash she received from Porsha Williams’ fans, with many of them blaming her for Williams’ demotion to a “recurring character” on the show. “I did not come take anything from her. That wasn’t my plan. I like to look at it like I earned my peach from my personality and my story.”

“Porsha is a divorced woman. Kordell is absolutely back on the market. Whether he’s with me or someone else you’ll have to tune in to see. I’m not doing anything wrong. I had nothing to with their divorce, absolutely not. He’s always been a great person and a cool person, a good guy to me,” Jordan said.
