In a shocking move, Nene Leakes has reportedly decided to end her long legal battle with Bravo.
As we previously reported, the reality star filed a discrimination lawsuit back in April against Bravo, other production companies involved, and even some execs including Andy Cohen. The complaint alleged that Leakes complained for years about racist remarks from fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, who is white. However, the suit contends, that Leakes was the only one to suffer consequences. The lawsuit also alleged that Leakes’ complaints of racism led in part to her being forced off the show in 2020 before its 13th season.
“NBC, Bravo, and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,” the suit claimed. Leakes, real name Linnethia Monique Leakes, who spent seven seasons on the show between 2008 and 2020, also talked about her experience on Twitter in a series of posts.
Just last month, Leakes took to social media to call out “abusers” who “want power over their victims” amid her ongoing racism lawsuit with Bravo.
“Everybody can see what they did to me! Nobody is stupid!” Leakes, 54, tweeted in response to fans. She also claimed, “This treatment has been going on for yearssss!” “Just remember, abusers want power over their victims!” she added in a third tweet’t although she didn’t specify who the “abusers” were at the time.
“They want to break you! Most abuse takes place behind closed doors (hint: this is why you don’t know or see everything) In the surface it looks fine right,” she continued.
Now, despite all of that, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Monday indicated that the former reality star “dismisses this action and all claims asserted by Leakes without prejudice.” “All Parties consent and stipulate to the foregoing dismissal,” the document reads. “No party will seek recovery of costs or attorneys’ fees in any submission to this Court.”
As the news site notes, this situation is a joint stipulation dismissal without prejudice between all parties. This means that Leakes, therefore, can resurface this case down the road if she chooses to.
Back in June, it was reported by Page Six that NeNe Leakes was actually in talks with Andy Cohen, Bravo and NBCUniversal to potentially settle the discrimination lawsuit she had filed.
Nene who is usually vocal on social media has not yet released a statement on these updates about her case. Until then, let us know your thoughts on this in the comment box below!
