NeNe’s new nose

Before and after pix from RadarOnline.com

Before and after pix from RadarOnline.com

NeNe Leakes has a new nose and has been appearing in a play. The reviews – of the nose – aren’t great.

“I think @NeNeLeakes might have just committed a Jennifer Grey,” a Twitter post from a user named Heidi Mara reads.

“I like your new nose,” reads a tweet from someone calling him or herself Return of Cirque. “Where did you buy it?”

Those are the nicer comments.

RadarOnline.com says the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member is on nose job #3 and has other work done.

“Her friends and family are worried that she will get addicted to plastic surgery, but sadly the producers of the show are not discouraging because they think it adds some drama for the fans,” the site says, quoting unnamed sources.

Leakes posted this photo of herself on Twitter

Leakes posted this photo of herself on Twitter

Leakes, a frequent tweeter who is usually pretty candid about what’s going on, isn’t responding to the critics. Instead she’s been talking about her recent trip to New York, where she’s playing “Pinky Bell” in a show called “Loving Him is Killing Me.”

Her new look is apparent in recent a photo she posted from backstage, and in a post she seems to be remaining positive.

“New York state of mind!” she wrote. “Go NeNe go NeNe! Tryin’ to pump myself up y’all.”

I think it’s makes her look sophisticated. The pictures are nice.
But when she opens her mouth and start all that talking is when we will see how Mrs NeNe really looks.
And come on folks…you all act like you wouldn’t change if your financial situation changed – you can give opinions but what good are they if you can’t keep it real.

I can’t tell and her face looks slimmer so maybe its weight loss? She was on Wendy’s show last month and Wendy said she couldn’t put her finger on it, but her face looked different. NeNe wouldn’t admit to anything, claimed it was make-up!! If she is going under the knife, that’s what happens when you get bit by the fame monster :>

The new pic is fine (she looks younger in the lower pic), but very different. A nose job shouldn’t change your overall appearance that drastically where people say, “what happened”. The side by side pic looks so drastic because she also lost a lot of weight from one pic to the next. I think people will get used to it.
She looks younger after losing the weight, but the nose job makes her features seem a bit harsh in the side pic……love the hair though….

Did she pay for that with all the dollar bills she collected on stage over the years or did her husband who was one of her loyal customers at the “club” pay for it?

Whatever she does it’s always better if you laugh with people instead of being sensitive. Given time folks will get used to it and she’s lost a lot of weight which makes her look younger, not so bad.

I hate to say this, i really do, but i’m going to. First off, i’m white. It seems whenever a black person starts to get successful in show business they start to get surgery to make their features look more caucasian. It is sad that is the case because black women are beautiful the way they were born. Looking more caucasian is not needed to make themselves more beautiful. They are beautiful the way ther are.

This is exact reason why her family is falling apart. Nene’s focus is in the wrong place. Her oldest son just dropped out of college and she goes Gonzo on us. What is the problem? I really feel sorry for her because when all the money and minor fame dimenishes, this poor woman is going to fall apart even worse. How can she pretend to be so confident in her skin, when in reality we can now see that she is very insecure.

The nose knows !

NeNe has reached “The Point of No Return” meaning once she became famous she realized her life was not making her happy. So she ditched her husband hooked up with a professional football player, then realized that wasn’t enough. So she begins work on her face starting with the nose, which was not well thought out because now her lips (which we kinda over looked before) appear huge.
The NeNe people related to now no longer is there. The viewers have to get used to this new look with that same raunchy loud voice, which spells (disaster).
People will talk about it for a week then start complaining that they want her off the show. Happens all the time. What would have been smart would have been for her to be a little low key this season so we could wonder what was up, instead she has put it ALL out there and it is NOT interesting.
I clicked this article to see if what I had heard was true & it is.

Sure – plenty of people of all ethnicities have plastic surgery to enhance, change or modify their appearance.

White females want to look more like Barbie. White females don’t say “I want to look more like a black person. Please flatten my nose, make my lips look like an orangutans ass and give me more pigment”.

Black females start first with wanting to look more like white females, then they want to try to look like a Hottentot..

Seen Sammy Sosa lately? A fine baseball player who started off looking like any other Negro, now he is on his way to looking like a white guy.

Johnny

Please give me blonde hair and while you are at it, fix it so it ain’t so kinky either – you know, the way white peoples hairs look. Tyra has dedicated several shows just to this topic and is also an expert on how to look more white. They call it “hair straightening” and “skin lightening”, but the name of the show that should be in parenthesis is really “How to look more like a white person”.

There ain’t no shows dedicated to how to look more black.

Johnny is a racist idiot.

If people who tan aren’t trying to look like another darker race (black, latino, etc.), then who are they trying to look like? Last time I checked, Barbie wasn’t tan.

Johnny

May 20th, 2010
9:29 am

When you can’t see or understand facts and truth in front of your face, calling someone a racist is the best you can do? You have no better armament?

You don’t even know the definition of racist because if you did, you would see that there is nothing racist in my commentary. You will have a tough time indicating anything racist about anything I have said (once you know the definition). It is just a catch all insult that reflects your inability to come to grips with reality , lack of creativity, vocabulary and imagination and has been so overused that the entire word has virtually no meaning anymore. Please come up with some better adjectives.

I did not say Barbie was tan, but if you are compelled to check and report your findings, feel free to do so. You are just making up things that have nothing to do with the dialog in an effort to prove me wrong and are failing miserably.

In NeNe’s case, her thought process was probably along the lines of: I have this Negro looking nose and I would much rather have the nose of a Caucasian. No Caucasian goes to a plastic surgeon and says please make my nose look more like a Negro nose. That would be going in the opposite direction. You can’t apply racism to that in any way, shape or form since that is not the definition of racism.

People do not tan to look more like Negro. People tan to appear more attractive to others. In American culture, pale skinned people are sometimes considered to have health problems and not suitable mating partners. In some cultures pale skinned people are considered more attractive – but not here. People are naturally and physically attracted to other people that appear healthy. This is is part of the biological response inherent to humans. In our culture, a tan can make one appear healthier and more attractive for mating.

People that tan are not trying to appear more like a black person – they are trying to appear more attractive.

Oh NeNe why did you do that. You were so beautiful on the outside just the way you were! Honestly! You bought into the hype and I’m surprised. I thought you were the realest person on the show and I enjoyed watching you for it, old nose and all (and it really was a cute nose). I know you’ve shared with your T.V. viewers that you’ve gone thru some things in your life and that could explain alot about why you did what you did. Oh well. If it makes you fell better as a person on the inside, go for it. Just know… no matter how much you try to “blend” and “fix” the outside, you have to start with the inside first.
Much luv NeNe.

Forgot to mention that Mattel did come out with Malibu Barbie in response to the realization that tan people were deemed more attractive than people with no tan (the Hollywood influence).

They have also come out with a Barbie that has a Ken tattoo on her backside. This is also an adjustment by Mattel to make Barbie more appealing to what is acceptable behavior in some parts of our culture – getting your current boyfriends name emblazoned on your butt. I guess so Ken can observe it while he is railing her from behind.

It is sad that Black people in particular, keep allowing the AJC to open a comment section and post articles that only lead to derogatory statments from others about us. Why have they never opened anything up about that buffoon Sarah Palin, her daughter Bristol’s baby daddy, or the baby’s daddy himself? It is asinine to even comment on someone’s new nose,when oil is spilling in the gulf, unemployment is through the roof, and let us not even discuss crime statistics. I have had enough of the AJC fanning racist, crude segments on its on-line edition for all the world to read. I ended my subscription years ago. Please join me, and boycott anything related to the AJC. It is also pathetic see black people even commenting on this filth!

Renia: You have a very valid point and I wish I would have read you comment prior to writing my own. We should be focusing on topics that bring attention to the massive homelessness, unemployment, education and overall malaise that the city is going through, but the AJC does not throw that out there for us. The Black newspapers we do have here, have that old JET mentality also, they don’t want to upset “massa” by commenting indebt on these issues. Oh they touch them on the surface, but they skate right on along as long as they can lock their doors and have their functions. But you have to admit, this woman has issues and she’s sharing them with a lot of fake, superficial women here.

Why does the media write stories on idiots like this? The Salahis, this idiot, etc get their fame from reporters. If you didn’t report on this we’d all be better off and these morons wouldn’t be rich for acting like complete asses.

I had no idea about this show and I am saddened that anyone would actually be a “fan” of hers or watch her show. All you are doing is giving a poorly educated person more money to make life mistakes with.

The fact that this no-talent hack is even news worthy shows just how sad our society has grown. She’s famous and rich for being snotty, rude, arrogant, self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing and superficial. No wonder today’s youth seem so fame obsessed.

My Mom always told me, ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything’. But I will comment on the situation in general. Being insecure or not feeling a particular amount of self-worth is normal to an extent. We have all experienced it at some time in our lives. This is why we hate that we can’t lose weight, can’t afford new things that we don’t NEED, or because that certain girl/guy that we’re ‘feelin’ isn’t feelin us. But when we cross that line and start throwing money at quick fixes in the attempt to be ‘happier’ with ourselves, this is the beginning of a behavior pattern that is possibly detrimental to ourselves, our relationships, and so on. When you hear someone say that money doesn’t buy you happiness, it is so true. We should all think of money as a tool to pacify. That is it! It does make life easier, but not BETTER! FAMILY + FRIENDS + EXPERIENCES = LIFE
People that are seeking plastic surgery for these superficial reasons should always have some ongoing psychological treatment.

This whole “discussion” is quite comical to me! I agree with Renia. I’m not sure why there is a misconception that the AJC is a liberal paper. By in large, many of AJC’s blogs are breeding grounds and bouncing boards for a bunch of racists, neanderthals who get orgasmic pleasure by spewing their idiotic, thoughtless, and baseless hatred. It has become quite comical to me when I read comments from all you big, bad “gansta” bloggers who clearly have nothing better to do. LMAO!

But back to NeNe’s nose. I, too, am disappointed that she got the surgery(ies). I don’t know what she was thinking. But let me make one thing clear to all of you…Black People come in all different shades, all different hair textures/colors, some have big noses and some have very slender noses (have y’all looked at Kobe Bryant’s nose lately??). American “Black People” are some of the most racially mixed people on the planet.

So my point is…don’t arrogantly assume that she is trying to have a “white” nose. I think she was trying to reshape her nose in an attempt to look more “acceptable” to the mainstream. Sadly, she missed the mark! Her God-given nose was just fine. Tis’ a shame. I hate to see anyone change themselves and lose themselves at the same time.

@SET whatever you’d change with money, I think it’s important for ethnic folks to keep their appearance intact. Work out, keep your hair done & get your clothes tailored but as a community I think it’s important to maintain your ethnic appearance when you reach levels of success b/c it’s important for the people who look like you to be represented. That’s my general statement. Now personally it just goes to show that her self assured attitude was a facade and that she’s a big mean, loud, low self esteem female who likes to put others down to feel better. Now we know she picks on that white lady so much b/c she wants to BE like her.

Not sure at what stage in your life you lost your self esteem but i sure hope for African Americans sake you find it quick. You are a very sad case.

As for the person talking about how hot she is……I’m sure you have lots of Sylvester’s Greatest Hits on 8 track lying around the house. Put one on and play it loud until the sickness subsides. Then again aren’t Wendy Williams and NeNe brothers? In the words of Elmer Fudd interest in this stuff is unbeweavable.

Oh I forgot she don’t get alone with women because she feels threatened around them and I guess that is why Dwight was in the doctor’s office once again bouncing her breasts like basketball. Greg haven’t said anything and a real man would have checked Dwight for touching his wife’s breast like that. Greg is right there just big pimping her all the way to the bank the same way that Sarah Palin is big pimping the teabaggers. My man.

I do think my comments are not right and baseless. As crazy as this sounds, I was always irked by that famous legend about the size of Black men’s packages and I wish I had have been born heavily endowed. I do admit that we have been bombarded with images of blonde bombshell women in our culture, but, I have always been open to Black women – they have just never been open to me.

Who cares what you think? If NeNe likes it than its fine. She did it for herself not for you. Its okay when white celebrities have all that plastic surgery (i.e. Pamela Anderson), but when some one of color does it, they have to be insulted. Get a life and stop hating.

And… is she lighter? or is that just the pic? I hope she’s not going the Michael Jackson route with all the surgeries and skin lightening. I know she probably has some lingering esteem issues (like MJ) because of her upbringing and father and being raised by relatives. I htink anytime you have multiple surgeries (3) that speaks to thinking you know what you want, then still not being happy, and then when you keep having it done, it’s more in your head – you’re just never going to be happy with the way you look – she needs to get over that. Maybe some counseling instead of surgery.

Black mens also seems to have a predilection to white blonde women. Therefore, the black womens want to look more like the blonde white womens. It ain’t the other way around people.

There was nothing wrong with the nose you had,why, when black folks get money they miss with their beauty. Some black women are beautiful with some makeup and some don’t need makeup.

She looks awful! That nose doesn’t suit her face at all and it makes her lips look huge and distorted whereas they didn’t look that way before. There was nothing wrong with her nose before; now she has messed her face up. People need to leave plastic surgery alone and stay out the mirror looking or flaws to fix under the knife. If she wanted to fix something about herself she should have started at the gym and naturally lose weight and get into shape. Then work on that nasty attitude and mouth!

Hello

I was looking for information on RhinoplastyI came across this amazing resouce it has been very helpful for me to get as much information as possible on the surgery.

The website has live videos of surgeries and interviews of people who have gone through the surgery so I though it might be useful for any member here looking for the same information. Please see my signature for the link.
