Although Nene Leakes and Cynthia Bailey were unstoppable besties on the Atlanta edition of The Real Housewives, that all changed when Nene called Peter's husband a "b---h" during a heated argument. "Friends don't call friends b---hes," Cynthia said on the episode. The argument put a rift in the housewives' friendship that lasted for a whole season, with Cynthia even infamously burning her "friendship contract" with Nene.
However, during their falling out, Nene decided to blow the whole thing out of the water. On Instagram, she uploaded a screenshot of a text message from Cynthia that revealed the entire scene was staged. “Change of plans for the scene," Cynthia wrote. "Not going to do the b--ch thing with Gregg. I thought it would be funny, but I really don’t want to call him out… even as a joke."
Nene captioned the text message: “Did u forget u sent me this text after Mexico, the morning before Gregg and I shot the scene with u and Peter. Don’t play dumb friend!”
Cynthia never responded to the allegation and the screenshot was quickly deleted, but the whole drama did confirm viewers' suspicions about "staged" scenes.
