NeNe Leakes captivated the crowd on Saturday at the 2022 Revolt Summit in Atlanta, Georgia, where the former RHOA star courted onstage with Amber Rose and Ray J.
Dressed in a peach-colored catsuit that hugged her fabulous curves, the 55-year-old reality TV star contributed to a panel discussion about the future of cancel culture.
Leakes made a statement as she dazzled the crowd with her huge 15.2-carat diamond ring belonging to her late husband Gregg Leakes, who passed away a year ago.

Her manicured hands were accentuated with simple white nails, while classic black heels graced her towering legs.
Her peach-colored look brought much-needed color to the panel when Amber Rose and Ray J were dressed in black.
Jason Lee, the CEO of Hollywood Unlocked, dressed in a black and white suit, questioned Nene about the correctness of the cancellation culture.
The former housewife, who charmed the crowd with her long honey-toned extensions, flashed her flawless white smile and stated that she can’t be canceled simply because she’s “the NeNe Leakes.”

This statement comes after a tumultuous year in which RHOA’s founding cast member took legal action against her former network and bosses.
Originally filed in April of this year, Nene’s lawsuit alleged that she was subjected to a hostile and racist environment on the show that made her a star.
She accused the show’s producers of promoting “…a corporate and workplace culture in which racially insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged.”
Leakes has further claimed she was kicked out of the industry during her tumultuous legal battle with Bravo, which ended in August when Leakes unconditionally dismissed her lawsuit.

The star has since proved resilient by expanding into other businesses.
Born Linnethia Monique Leakes, she promoted her eponymous restaurant and bar in her hometown of Duluth, Georgia.
The Linnethia Lounge will open in 2021 and will offer live entertainment and an ‘over-the-top’ Sunday brunch. Nene posted a video to Instagram over the weekend of her candlelit nightclub filled with dancing customers. “WE IN HERE TONIGHT” she captioned the post along with three fire emojis. The entrepreneur seemed to enjoy a hookah at her own private table overlooking the fun
This hotspot is the star’s latest business venture since losing husband Gregg to colon cancer at age 66 last year. After losing that 25-year relationship, the mother of two recently found love again with boyfriend Nyonisela Sioh.

The occasional actress and Celebrity Apprentice alum began dating her new man after the two were introduced by their mutual friend Peter Thomas. Thomas is the ex-husband of former RHOA star Cynthia Bailey. Nyonisela, a fashion designer based in Charlotte, North Carolina, owns a menswear brand called Nyoni Couture and sells a wide variety of tailored suits, shirts, tuxedos, shoes and accessories.
The fashionable couple looks set to go strong, as Leakes posted a loving tribute to the slick Nyonisela on Instagram last month. She captioned her montage of adorable photos with a heart eyes emoji and the shoutout, “I just want to smile #Neyoni.”
Born in Liberia, the fashion designer gave an interview to a Ghanaian news channel, DailyGuide Network, in 2020, explaining that his fashion influences are inspired by his “African heritage fused with Western styles.” He went on to describe himself as a “…very passionate person.”

The father of three has been married once before, with his estranged wife suing Leakes over the summer. Malomine Tehmeh-Sioh filed a lawsuit against Nene alleging she broke off their marriage by being intimate with Neyoni while he was still dating Malomine.
In the documents, Tehmeh-Sioh accuses Leakes of causing her emotional distress by posting numerous photos of Sioh on social media. Malomine is demanding more than $100,000 in damages for the destruction of her marriage.
The past year has been a dramatic and emotional time for the former peach holder, but Nene proved it looked good with her vibrant appearance on the stage at the Revolt Summit in 787 Windsor. “@NeNeLeakes IS THE QUEEN OF REALITY TV,” she recently tweeted. Perhaps next year will be the ultimate test to see if Nene can hold onto her crown.
