Queen of the peaches!
NeNe Leakes’ wild antics on the Real Housewives of Atlanta might have ended almost all of her friendships but what they did do was earn her a whopping raise RadarOnline.com exclusively learned.
The OG in the ATL inked her deal for Season 12 and she got a huge bump in her already astronomical salary of $2.75 million after a season filled with fighting and over-the-top drama.
Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, and Eva Marcille all signed up for another season but NeNe’s salary was the highest.
With her pay hike in the bank, NeNe was on track to remain the reigning highest paid housewife on the network.
Bravo forked out more cash for NeNe than Real Housewives of New York City OG Bethenny Frankel, the OG from RHOC Vicki Gunvalson and both Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!
Scroll down through RadarOnline.com’s gallery to find out how much NeNe is making with her enormous new raise amid massive drama on the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Filming Madness
NeNe Leakes was accused of getting physical with the crew during her Bye, Wig party, with one producer getting his tooth “knocked out” during the melee, according to Kandi’s recollection of the fight in the closet.
The Truth
But a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively that she was not responsible for his dental disaster and instead he “chipped his tooth because he was rushing into the room and the closet to get to NeNe when all the fighting started and he tripped over equipment and fell."
Double Standard
Porsha Williams thought NeNe should have been fired after NeNe confessed that she did pull the t-shirt of a camera man filming the closet brawl.
Dramatic Increase
Not only did the network disagree, they signed NeNe up for another season and gave her a huge raise.
Cashing In
“NeNe is now making $2.85 million for the upcoming season,” a source close to the reality star told RadarOnline.com.
Mega Bucks
“That is a $100,000 raise from last season,” the insider confirmed.
Cash Windfall
NeNe’s raise equaled the amount that new housewives like Tanya Sam and Shamari DeVoe were paid for their first season on RHOA.
Reality Pays
“NeNe brings the drama and the storylines,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “She is rewarded handsomely for delivering over and over again.”
