RHOA star NeNe Leakes opens up about the viral “kissing” video
TMZ got a video where NeNe Leakes was coming out with a man from a Memphis Grizzlies game.
As she was posing with her new man, somebody asked them to smile.
NeNe asked the man beside her to give her “a real smile.”
Just then, he bent and kissed her.
The man in question is Arthur Horne III, according to the report by TMZ.
He is an attorney and practices in Memphis.
In a recent live session NeNe opened up about the video.
She stated:
“Hey, I'm not in a relationship with anybody, and I really hate that y'all have this man picture thrown all around online, now y'all pulling up this man's past. That is such mess up. I was trying to be in my soft girl era. Now I gotta turn back to a tomboy. I just wanted to date with intention, and he's a nice guy.”
Nene continued and addressed the kissing video and said:
“We went out, we had fun. I don't know what the future holds. We were not kissing as they have it here kissing. We pecked. Okay, there's a difference between kissing and pecking. We just pecked. We were drinking, just having fun and laughing and taking pictures with friends.”
She ended by adding:
“We had no idea that somebody in our little friend circle was sending a video over to the blogs and have us all out here like this today. I'm dating, okay, with intention. If you guys know somebody I should date, let me know. Send me an email. My email is up on my Instagram. They have to be at the same level or higher. Thank you.”
NeNe was married to Gregg Leaks in 1997, but they separated in 2010.
They remarried in 2013 and remained together till Gregg’s death in 2021.
She talked about her husband’s death in an interview with PEOPLE and said:
“It was difficult. Gregg handled a lot of things in our life. There were some things I didn't know — some of the simple things. I didn't even know who the lawn guy was."
Leakes added:
“I was having to ask him questions like that And he said to me, 'If you go into my office and look on the wall, I left an envelope taped to the wall.' And so I went and looked on the wall and there was a manila folder he had stuck to the wall that said, 'Open this if anything ever happens to me.' When I opened it up, he had a letter to Brentt (their 22-year-old son) and telling us certain things like, where we needed to pay stuff and who was the accounting person to talk to because we didn't know anything. And I thought to myself when I looked through all the stuff that he had written and the things that he had left, that that took a lot of strength."
