Atlanta Housewives reality star Nene Leaks has been booted from Xscape‘s new tour for ill-fated comments made to a crowd heckler at a recent Oakland show.
Watch below:
After receiving much backlash amid high-profile actresses accusing Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, it appears Leakes’ “bad joke” came at the wrong time.
Xscape released the statement below regarding their decision to split ways with the Housewives diva:
“Like many, we were dismayed by the recent remarks made by our talented colleague and friend Nene Leakes. As a result, we have decided to no longer proceed with her participation on our tour. It was an unfortunate incident for which Nene has since apologized and we wish her the best as she navigates this very difficult period. As strong supporters of all women, we know this decision is what is best. Our hearts go out to all female victims and we stand with you! “
It’s rumored that Leakes’ Fashion Police gig may be on the chopping block as well. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for the reality star turned comedienne that some jokes are simply off-limits in a time where every comment is up for social scrutiny.
