Celebrity Apprentice contestant Nene Leakes stopped by Ellen to dish on her experience thus far on the hit reality show, but most importantly, we get to hear how Leakes REALLY feels about fellow contestant Star Jones. Yep and basically she thinks Star is a conniving bitch.
Details below!
Ellen: Do you think they’re showing everybody accurately? Are we seeing everyone’s personalities?
Nene: I believe that you are. Big bossy Star. Laid back Nene. You are seeing all of that.
Ellen: Now, when you say, “Big bossy Star,” because you’re not getting along with Star from what I see right now.
Nene: We are okay right now.
Ellen: A few people don’t get along with Star.
Nene: I don’t think anybody is getting along with Star. I don’t think she’s easy to get along with. She’s a tough girl. We’re kind of okay. I’m trying to feel her out right now.
Ellen: What happened to cause the riff?
Nene: Well, I just think Star is manipulative. You don’t want me to really break it down now?
Ellen: No, I do.
Nene: I will tell it like it is. I will try to not tell it like it is is, but I will tell it like it is. She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving. And I’m not even being funny. I think that is real. I honestly think that is who she is.
Ellen: Now, do you think she thinks she is those things? I think she knows she has a strong personality and she’s controlling.
Nene: She is controlling. I think that she knows. Yeah. She looks in the mirror, she better know.
Ellen: You started as friends though.
Nene: No. We weren’t friends. I will say this, when I walked into the situation, I tried to walk in with no preconceived notions. I was just thinking, “Okay, I’m going to do the show. I’m going to get to know who Star is.” I think she had preconceived notions of who she thought I was just from watching me on the “Housewives.” I think she thought I was going to come in and take over. I tried to get to know her. Some people are difficult to get to know. She’s not easiest person to get to know. She is a disaster.
