The suit says Leakes' negotiations for the season came as the Black Lives Matter movement was gaining major momentum, with Leakes a vocal supporter.
The suit says in 2012 during the fifth season, Zolciak-Biermann made"racially offensive and stereotypical" comments about the new home of housewife Kandi Burruss, calling her neighborhood a"ghetto" and perpetuating a racial stereotype in an offensive comment about whether Burruss needed a swimming pool.
The suit says after Leakes complaints to the executives overseeing the show, they “did not terminate their relationship with Zolciak-Biermann, nor take any other meaningful action to put an end to her racially-offensive behavior,” and if anything rewarded her by giving her her own spinoff show. Joe Habachy, another Leakes’ attorney, said via email that “not a day goes by that NeNe doesn’t wake up with an onslaught of overwhelming emotions as a direct result of these unfortunate and avoidable occurrences.”
