NeNe Leakes sues saying racism accepted on 'Real Housewives'

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Atlanta says Leakes, who is Black, complained to executives about years of racist remarks from fellow housewife Kim Zolciak-Biermann, who is white, but that only Leakes suffered consequences.

Representatives for NBCUniversal declined comment. Emails sent to representatives for the other defendants and Zolciak-Biermann seeking comment were not immediately returned. The suit says in 2012 during the fifth season, Zolciak-Biermann made "racially offensive and stereotypical" comments about the new home of housewife Kandi Burruss, calling her neighborhood a "ghetto" and perpetuating a racial stereotype in an offensive comment about whether Burruss needed a swimming pool.

“From the day the series began filming, NeNe was the target of systemic racism from co-star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, which was tolerated by Bravo executive producer Andy Cohen and other executives,” Leakes' lawyer David deRubertis said in a statement. The suit says Leakes' negotiations for the season came as the Black Lives Matter movement was gaining major momentum, with Leakes a vocal supporter.
