NeNe Leakes Is Getting Sued By Her Boyfriend’s Ex-Wife Who Claims She Got With Him While He They Were Together

NeNe Leakes has been making headlines lately. Most notably, for her lawsuit against Bravo for allegations of racism. NeNe filed the case in April and is seeking an unspecified amount. Prior to that, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star went public with her new boyfriend, Nyonisela Sioh. It certainly seemed like NeNe was getting her groove back after the unfortunate death of husband, Gregg Leakes. But hold that thought – Nyonsiela’s ex-wife has something to say about this.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Nyonisela’s ex-wife, Malomine Tehmeh-Sioh, is suing NeNe for taking her man. She is alleging that NeNe was sleeping with Nyonsiela while they were still married, causing her marriage to end. Melamine also claims that she was humiliated when NeNe posted a picture with Nyonisela on social media. It then drove a wedge between the married couple.

As for Malomine’s timeline in the documents, she named the date of their divorce as December 17th, 2021. But NeNe debuted her Liberian business man on Instagram for her December 14th birthday party at her Linnethia Lounge. And the pictures left little to the imagination – NeNe and Nyonisela were all boo’d up for cameras. Because of that photo, Malomine said she suffered emotional distress, mental anguish, and a loss of affection.

If you’re like me and didn’t know that you could sue someone for taking your man, the suit was filed in the former couple’s state of residence, North Carolina. And NC is one of 7 states where you can sue for a spouse’s extramarital partner for alienation of affection. Malomine is asking for over $100k in her suit.

Since the news came out, NeNe, who famously told then co-star Kim Zolciak, “close your legs to married men,” is now defending herself. People is reporting that NeNe took to Instagram Live to say she’s not a home wrecker. Said NeNe, “I’m already out here a husband stealer and this is too much. And ain’t nobody out here stealing husbands. Are they? I would never. Nobody wants to steal nobody else’s problems, honey.” NeNe also implored viewers to “show each other a little more love.”

Bethenny Frankel Receives Reality Royalty Award From MTV

All hail the Queen of Reality TV. At least according to MTV. The network created The Reality Royalty Award at last year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted. Now a Real Housewives of New York icon will be honored with the achievement for 2022. The Unscripted portion of the awards show pays homage to the overwhelming amount of reality show content that is now an entertainment staple.

As reported by Variety, Bethenny Frankel received the award at MTV’s annual event. Bethenny’s reality TV career spans back to 2005 when she appeared on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. She came in second place but only 3 years later, she was cast on Bravo’s RHONY. Her fame and likability on the show earned her a spinoff called Bethenny Ever After. The show followed her getting married and having a baby. It ran for 3 seasons before she was welcomed back to RHONY.  Bethenny made her final exit from the franchise in 2019.

Outside of Bravo, Bethenny also had her own (short lived) talk show. In addition, her 2021 series Big Shot With Bethenny aired on HBO. The competition featured contestants trying to nab a spot as Bethenny’s right hand man (or woman) at her business empire. That empire consists mainly of Skinnygirl Cocktails, which she created in 2009. The original drink, a pre-made, low calorie margarita mix, was the first of its kind. Bethenny sold the liquor portion of the company for a reported $120 million. Ever the smart businesswoman, she  kept the rights to the Skinnygirl name so she could launch other products. Skinnygirl now has everything from popcorn to  jeans sold on HSN.

Bethenny has also authored 1o books with half of them being best sellers. Her most recent bookBusiness Is Personal: The Truth About What it Takes to Be Successful While Staying True to Yourself was released this year. In the book, she gives advice on business and what she has learned form big names like Hillary Clinton and Mark Cuban.

Now that she’s off reality TV, Bethenny has focused her energy on more charitable endeavors. Her BStrong Foundation was created in 2017 and specializes in disaster relief. BStrong has helped victims of natural disasters in California, Puerto Rico, Haiti to name a few. The organization recently raised a staggering $100 million for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war. In her personal life, she is currently engaged to Paul Bernon, who has also pitched in on her philanthropic efforts.

The “unscripted” part of the show aired after MTV Movie & TV Awards and it was hosted by Tayshia Adams. Congrats to Bethenny!

Drew Sidora Implies She Dated LeBron James Again

Drew Sidora is lost without her defunct leaderPorsha Williams, on this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s actually painful to watch her scenes with Ralph Pittman. And don’t get me started on that prophet-for-profit “therapist” they’ve been seeing…

Drew’s main goal so far this season has been trying to prove why she is on the show, and it’s coming off as thirsty. Even towards the end of Season 13, she started clamoring for the spotlight. Remember the poorly timed pet-wig gift for LaToya Ali? Or her claims that she had spent time with LeBron James in the past?

During the Season 13 reunion, Drew came under fire from Kenya Moore for being “face down on a coffee table with Bolo” during Cynthia Bailey’s infamous bachelorette party. According to Showbiz CheatSheet, there were rumors that Drew had a relationship with the stripper.

Drew tried to shake off the accusation saying,“Bolo said to me that he met me with LeBron James in the past. And so, yeah, I’m friends with LeBron James, and I used to be with a lot of people.” No one seemed impressed. Andy Cohen asked her, “You and LeBron and Bolo were together?” and Drew responded, “No! He said he met me out with LeBron, and he had eyes for me or something. And I was like, ‘Well, yeah, I be around a lot of Hollywood people. You know? I run in different circles, so…”

According to the Chicago Tribune in 2003 Drew was proudly boasting about her “main squeeze” LeBron. At the time, she was nineteen, and shared, “I don’t really like to talk about my personal life. I’ll just say that he’s my boy. We’re really good friends.” She also claimed, “Music precedes everything for me. It’s my passion. I live in the studio — I sleep in the studio.”

According to Page SixDrew is at it again. During a RHOA episode, she repeated to the other women, “I was on Melrose and we were at a restaurant and a certain king of the NBA sent me over a drink” All this with her panini-level-pressed husband listening. The name drop was censored, but I think we all know who Drew is talking about. Her arsenal for name-dropping is about as empty as her therapist’s wall of certifications.

Drew assured the other women that her tryst with the “mystery” baller was before he was married. But Sanya Richards-Ross had questions. “Hasn’t [bleep] and [bleep] been dating since high school?” she asked in a confessional.

Detective Kenya was also on the case. In her confessional, she assured viewers, “Child, Drew is talking about LaQuan. Y’all just heard it wrong.”

Either way, congrats to Drew on knowing LeBron. I think she needs to hear it at this point.

TELL US – PLEASE GIVE DREW CONGRATULATIONS ON HER RELATIONSHIP WITH LEBRON IN THE COMMENTS BELOW SO SHE KNOWS WE HEARD AND WE CAN ALL MOVE ON.

Tom Girardi Ordered To Pay $2.3 Million In Restitution To His Former Clients

Time to pay up. It’s hard to keep track of all the lawsuits against disgraced attorney Tom Girardi and his estranged wife Erika Jayne. Ever since she filed for divorce in November of 2020, things quickly spun out of control. Approximately one month later, Tom was accused of embezzling funds from his clients. It’s estimated that he allegedly stole millions from the clients he represented in large settlement cases. Erika, whose legal woes have played out on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, hasn’t been charged with anything. But she has multiple lawsuits against her as well.

Now Radar Online is reporting that Tom has been ordered to pay $2.3 million-plus interest in restitution to his former clients. The majority of the money will be going to orphans and widows, the most vulnerable of his clients. Tom was also slapped with $5k in sanctions. In addition, he has officially been disbarred after accumulating 14 counts of violating ethics rules and California law.

Since Tom’s law firm went bankrupt in 2020, a recent filing revealed that there is a whopping $517 million in claims against them. $363 million of it was unsecured claims, $17 million in priority claims. Additionally, $137 million is in secured claims and  $250k in administrative claims.

Tom’s clients have accused him of using their rightfully awarded settlement money to fund his lifestyle with Erika. In a class action lawsuit against both Tom and Erika, documents read, “[Tom] …continues to use that money to fund his and Erika’s lavish lifestyle, release personal guarantees, pay down loans, route the money to friends and family and satisfy other outstanding debts.”

Now Tom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and lives in a senior living facility under a conservatorship. For her part, Erika is now living in $1+ million bungalow and still using a glam squad. And while she repeatedly denied any wrongdoing on her part, she certainly hasn’t attempted to clear her name in the court of public opinion. In the trailer for the latest season of RHOBH, she tells costars, “I don’t give a f–k about anybody else but me.” Even more shocking, in a recent episode, she claimed that the victims of Tom’s alleged crimes might be lying about not receiving their money. Low, even for Erika.

But Erika has her own problems in this mess. She’s being sued for $25 million by Tom’s bankruptcy trustee to cough up funds that were paid to her company, EJ Global. Her company has since been suspended by the California Franchise Tax Board.

TELL US – HOW WILL TOM PAY THE $2 MILLION? HOW MUCH MORE WILL BE AWARDED TO THE ALLEGED VICTIMS? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ERIKA’S BEHAVIOR THIS SEASON?

Dorothy Wang Confirms Another Season Of Bling Empire

Attention all Bling Empire fans – more is coming your way soon! Netflix just released season 2 on May 13th, but apparently we don’t have to wait long for season 3. And that’s just fine by me because I was pretty frustrated by some of the cliffhangers. I can’t be the only one.

Dorothy Wang, who joined the cast this season, revealed to Page Six that season 3 of Bling Empire has already been filmed. She stated, “It’s already locked and loaded. All the drama that you see [in Season 2], it really continues to intensify and heat up.” Dorothy added, “The feuds get feudier [sic] and there’s a lot of deep-rooted things that come out.” She went on, “A lot of lines are drawn and a lot of friendships are ended.” She also noted that the third installment will “probably” drop “at the end of the summer.” Which seems pretty quick given how long we had to wait in between seasons 1 and 2.

One of my biggest moments of annoyance came when the Jessey Lee cheating rumors went unresolved. Season 1 showed Cherie Chan proposing after she got sick of waiting. But this season, rumors swirled that Jessey was married with a whole family at the time that they got together. Nothing got leaked to Cherie and the story just kind of disappeared after Kane Lim lost his chance to tell her. The couple has since gotten married. But I’m hoping that somehow the storyline continues.

As for another loose end, we didn’t really get to see what happened between Kim Lee and Kevin Kreider. The two went back and forth on a possible romance. But it looked like things fizzled when Kim admitted on a lie detector test that she didn’t want to be with Kevin. Note to all you singles out there – it’s probably not a good idea to take lie detector tests before you have even kissed.

Either way, we did see that Dorothy ended up moving to New York but she’s still spending plenty of time on the West Coast. But is there a possible Bling Empire NYC spin-off in the works? Dorothy shared, “I feel like people would like that. I have a great, fun, diverse group of friends in New York. Everything’s like fast. Everyone is, like, kind of sassier. No one holds back.” According to Dorothy, her friends in New York “say it and go for the jugular” if they “feel some type of way.” In her opinion, people in LA are more “calculated and manipulative.”

Dorothy would know considering she’s not new to reality tv. The former Rich Kids of Beverly Hills star spent 4 seasons on the series. But jumping back in was a lot harder than she thought it would be. She explained, “When you’re on a show … things get a little bit more dramatic. You’re placed in situations you normally wouldn’t get placed in. It’s kind of your job to get fired up because you can’t really be boring. You have to have opinions.” Dorothy concluded, “And so that was one of my qualms or something that I was nervous about getting back into, because as outgoing as I am, I do kind of also do appreciate when things are peaceful.”
