‘RHOA’ Star Nene Leakes Reunites With Kandi After Getting Fired From Tour
It looks like there is no bad blood between “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars Nene Leakes and Kandi Burruss after the reality star was fired from the singer’s Xscape reunion tour.
On Wednesday, Nene shared a photo of herself and Kandi to Instagram, while promoting the tour she is no longer a part of. “I love that @kandi and I have found our own personal bond. Fun times last nite! Y’all get out there and purchase those Xscape Tour Tickets,” she captioned the photo.
Kandi posted a similar photo on her Instagram account reflecting on the good time the ladies had together. “#FunTimes with this tall beauty @neneleakes,” she captioned the picture.
Nene and Kandi’s reunion comes almost two weeks after Nene was fired from her hosting duties on the Xscape tour, after she told a female audience member that she hopes she gets raped by her Uber driver after the show.
Leakes has since apologized for her behavior by issuing a statement via Facebook. “I truly regret and apologize for what I said from the stage in Oakland over the weekend. Sometimes words can cut deep and hurt when you have no intentions of them doing so,” she wrote on Oct. 9.
“As a woman and someone who has survived abuse, I regret the words that I used. I made a mistake and I should have known better. I hope people accept my deepest and sincerest apologies. I am sorry,” she added, ending the statement.
Despite her apology, Xscape no longer wanted Nene on the tour and released a statement explaining why they chose to cut ties with the reality star. “Like many, we were dismayed by the recent remarks made by our talented colleague and friend NeNe Leakes. As a result, we have decided to no longer proceed with her participation on our tour,” the group stated.
Xscape went on to explain that while they support all women, they thought it was best to distance themselves from Leakes for the sake of their fans. “Our hearts go out to all female victims and we stand with you! This tour is for and about our fans and we want to provide an entertaining and enjoyable experience for every single person who attends,” the statement continued.
While fans will no longer see Nene on the Xscape tour, they can catch her and Kandi on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 10 when it premieres, Sunday, Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
