AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes apparently declared war to the wrong person. Previously during her appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen", "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star told host Andy she wanted to go "head to head" with Lisa Rinna. However, she recently explained that she actually meant Lisa Vanderpump.
"You know I actually said the wrong name," the 51-year-old clarified on Jenny McCarthy's SiriusXM show on Friday, February 1. "I meant Lisa Vanderpump. I did not mean to say Lisa Rinna."
The TV personality later detailed her beef with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star. "She knows that we have a little something, something she did to me. I've never really addressed it. … She did some real foul s**t to me," NeNe said.
NeNe further revealed that it was started when she and husband Greg Leakes wanted to buy a space on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood which now is owned by Lisa, who turned it into Pump Restaurant.
"At the time, Greg and I were living in [Los Angeles] and I was working on 'Glee' and 'New Normal'," NeNe detailed to Jenny. "We ride down that West Hollywood are where all the gay bars are -- and I have a large gay fanbase -- and I kept thinking, 'It would be so cool if I had a bar right in here somewhere.' And that space was empty and kind of raggedy-looking and torn down."
NeNe went on saying that she then reached out to Lisa for some advice from the restarateur. "She said, 'Oh darling, darling, it's a piece of crap and they're charging so much for it, darling,' " NeNe said of the 58-year-old star. "She talked me off of it and then went and got it. … That's so f***ed up."
"Now when she sees me, she has this little dog that doesn't even crawl and she's like, 'Hi NeNe,' " NeNe addsed, referring to Lisa's dog Giggy. "She just looks at me funny. … We're gonna get Lisa Vanderpump."
NeNe then apologized to Lisa Rinna, saying, "Lisa Rinna, I'm sorry I didn't mean you, I meant Vander-lump."
