AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes has expressed willingness to mend her relationship with Andy Cohen following their past legal dispute involving Bravo.
In a recent interview with Vulture, NeNe Leakes revealed that she and Andy Cohen have exchanged text messages since she dropped her 2022 lawsuit against Bravo. Although they have yet to meet face-to-face, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star seems ready to move beyond their previous conflict.
Leakes, 58, shared her approach to the situation, stating, "I am the kind of person that, good or bad, time heals." She added that reconciliation does not require close friendship, emphasizing her desire to avoid harboring negative feelings.
The lawsuit filed by NeNe Leakes targeted Bravo, NBCUniversal, and Andy Cohen, accusing them of enabling a hostile and racist workplace. Part of the claim included allegations that her concerns about racist remarks by former castmate Kim Zolciak-Biermann were ignored. However, Leakes dismissed the case several months later.
Discussing the potential for reconciliation, she posed the question, "What would it take to get him back on those terms?" indicating an openness to rebuilding their connection.
Andy Cohen has also addressed the issue, describing the lawsuit as something that is now "in the past." He expressed enthusiasm about NeNe Leakes making an appearance on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, stating earlier this year, "She's gonna be making an appearance. I'm happy about it."
This development suggests a possible thaw in their previously strained relationship, with both parties seemingly ready to move forward.
