‘Real Housewives’ Star Tired of Being Asked Why She Didn’t Cough Up $20K to Detroit Schools
(Patch) – Last year during a testy exchange between “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars NeNe Leakes and Kenya Moore, Leakes challenged Moore to give $20,000 to Detroit’s struggling public school system and said she would do the same.
Moore made her $20,000 donation at an October appearance at Cass Technical High School, her alma mater, and since then has been taunting her adversary on the show for failing to pay up. The hate between the two ‘Real Housewives’ stars is epic, according to Us Weekly.
“You cannot have a rational conversation with someone who only wants to hear themselves talk,” Moore said, according to an account on RealityTea.com. “NeNe does what she always does, and that’s to drown people out with her loud and harsh criticism. Yet she can’t keep silent long enough to hear anyone else. NeNe is a big, brash bully and she will never change.”
Leakes parlayed her “Real Housewives” success into a role on Broadway as the wicked stepmother in “Cinderella,” and Moore said that ought to make her flush enough to cough up the cash.

As part of Love Life Week, the Love Life Foundation was honored to produce the 1974-75 World Champion Golden State Warrior Day.
It’s a shame that our first Bay Area World Championship team’s unique accolades had been lost in the pre social media era and the cultural revolution of the 1970s.
The 1975 NBA World Championship team were invited back to the City of Oakland last Friday, to be properly celebrated for their ground-breaking performance in 1975.
The heartwarming ceremony highlighted the recent passing of the legendary coach of that team, Al Attlles, and his former players Clifford Ray and Charles Dudley were on hand to represent the “Cardiac Kids” as they were called back then for their ability to make great comeback victories during their run for the title.
Warriors great Chris Mullin and former spiritual advisor Gary Reeves gave heartfelt testimonies of their experiences under Attles’ leadership and their relationship with the inspiration they received from the NBA 1975 World Champion Golden State Warriors.
The City of Oakland provided proclamations to all parties with speeches made by city leadership including Mayor Sheng Thao and Deputy Mayor Dr. Kimberly Mayfield and activity host Love Life non-profit founder and Executive Director Donald E. Lacy Jr..
There will be a celebration of life event Nov. 9 honoring Attles’ legacy at Alameda College.
