'You can see the hurt': NeNe Leakes fans slam Porsha Williams for refusing Netflix show with her

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: NeNe Leakes has called out Porsha Williams over Instagram, alleging that she refused to work with her in a Netflix show.

The TV personality expressed her frustration over social media, "Earlier this week I was told by my management company that the Netflix scripted series 'The Upshaws' were interested in casting me for a part."

Leakes said she's 'more than disappointed' over Williams' behavior

The 56-year-old said in Instagram Stories, on Friday, March 15, that she was excited to do the project since it includes other talented stars including Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes.

"I haven't seen Porsha. We always have a good laugh when we see each other, so I was like, 'Ok, me and Porsha are going to kill this part,'" said Leakes of her former Bravo castmate.

The star shared how she got to know about Williams' absence from the show on Netflix. She revealed while she was on the way to Los Angeles and heading to the studio to talk with the wardrobe department to change her dress since it appeared similar to what Williams was supposed to wear.

However, Leaks waited but never saw Williams at the show’s rehearsal. "Porsha never came," she shared in the clip.

"We wrapped for the evening. I went back to my hotel, and when I got to my hotel, production called me and asked me if I had any issues with any Housewives because they were going to be recasting the other position."

Leakes said she had no issues with anyone, and finally Cynthia Bailey filled in for Williams, per People.

"I was later told that Porsha did not show up to work and had said that she did not want to work with me. That we had had issues from the past, and she did not want to work with me," Leakes expressed her take and felt "more than disappointed."

Leakes added, "I am shocked to hear that Porsha would go to a production company and say that she doesn't want to work with me because we've had a lot of issues in the past."

Fans find Williams' behavior unacceptable 

Fans reacted to Leakes' reaction to Williams walking away from the project involving her. "That is a weird reason… But NeNe has went from Bravo to Zeus. So maybe she isn’t a star either,” wrote one on X.

The second said, "You can see the hurt. Oh man. Porsha played as hell for doing this." 

"Were they not hanging out together not to long ago?" another user commented.

One user showed support for Leakes, "I don't like the way Porsha treated Candiace and Leah on UGT. She's been catching the side eye from me since then."

A fan wrote, "I don’t care for Nene however I truly believe that Porsha always wants to be the main one & she isn’t a girls girl! She didn’t like Claudia and Eva being on dish neither 🤦🏽‍♂️".
