According to Daily Mail.., things got off to a bad start between Leakes and Williams at The Ultimate Women’s Expo, which took place at the Georgia World Congress Center, after Williams’ husband-manager Kevin Hunter demanded that organizers move the reality star’s neighboring dressing room away from his wife.
“He told them to move her as far away as possible,” a source told the outlet, stressing that Hunter was “adamant that he wanted his wife nowhere near NeNe.”
The tension escalated after Leakes jabbed Williams, mocking an anecdote the talk show host made in her speech about “10 rules every woman should live by.”
“I’m your homegirl — I live my life as an open book, and I’m happy I don’t need 10 rules to live by!”
Hunter exploded backstage at the diss, an insider said, telling organizers to remove Leakes’ “motherf**king a** off the stage,” and to “cut that b*tch’s mic off.”
Leakes’ bestie Diana Gowins confronted Hunter, as Leakes continued to deliver her speech onstage, not knowing about the hubbub going on around her. He then left the event prematurely with Williams, who was busy autographing copies of her book, leading to event organizers issuing refunds for those who did not get their copies signed, reports RadarOnline.
Leakes, who later appeared on Watch What Happens Live Sunday, later acknowledged the incident, A lot happened backstage with her husband, I heard,” NeNe told host Andy Cohen. “Just because I was onstage he went completely crazy.”
Williams, refused to address the feud at all on her talk show on Monday, May 5, 2015, ignoring Leakes’ version of the story.
