NeNe Leakes was all smiles at Rihanna's MET Gala 2015 after party despite her recent explosive brawl with Wendy Williams.
Leakes rocked her blonde wig at the New York City party on May 4, 2015, and didn’t seem to have a care in the world just days after her cat fight with Williams.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 47, wore a casual pair of jeans and a sparkly black top to the NYC party.
Leakes appeared on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live show on Sunday, May 3, 2015 and claimed that she had no idea about the backstage brawl that took place at The Ultimate Women's Expo at Georgia World Congress Center. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Williams’ husband-manager Kevin Hunter started the fracas when he requested to have his wife in a dressing room in a separate area from Leakes’. "He told them to move her as far away as possible," a source said, stressing that Hunter was "adamant that he wanted his wife nowhere near NeNe."

The tension escalated after Leakes allegedly jabbed Williams, mocking an anecdote the talk show host made in her speech about "10 rules every woman should live by." Leakes took the stage after Williams and declared, "I’m your home girl — I live my life as an open book, and I’m happy I don’t need 10 rules to live by!"
Hunter exploded backstage and told the event organizers to get Leakes’ "motherf**king a** off the stage," and to "cut that b*tch’s mic off."
Leakes feigned innocence about the incident on WWHL. "A lot happened backstage with her husband, I heard," she said. "Just because I was on stage, he went completely crazy, I heard."
Williams, 50, refused to address the feud at all on her talk show on Monday, May 5, 2015, ignoring Leakes’ version of the story.
