WATCH THE VIDEO HERE NeNe Leakes Responds to Fans Dragging Her Makeup Artist — And She’s Not Backing Down NeNe Leakes may be the queen of catchphrases and comebacks, but this time, it’s her makeup team that’s trending — and not in the way she hoped. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum has been catching heat over her glam lately, specifically on her YouTube series, “The NeNe Leakes Show.” Fans have flooded her comments and DMs with the same critique: her makeup artist is doing the most, and not in a good way. From heavy foundation buildup to aggressive nose contouring, viewers are calling out what they say is an overly dramatic makeup style that lacks subtlety. One fan put it bluntly: “If we can see the product caked on through the screen, sis — it’s too much.” Others chimed in saying the blush is overdone, the eyeshadow is overwhelming, and the contour? Borderline theatrical. But NeNe? She’s not having it. In a recent video, the reality star-turned-YouTuber addressed the controversy head-on. And let’s just say — she’s not firing her makeup artist anytime soon. “What I’ve gotten from a lot of you guys is something’s wrong with the makeup, something’s wrong with the hair,” NeNe said. “Now you see me clear right here, right? So I’m struggling with that as well. So it is not the makeup. I personally do not believe it’s the makeup.” Basically, NeNe said what she said — and she’s standing by her glam squad. Fans are a little split over her response. Some love her confidence and loyalty to her team. One supporter commented, “Y’all act like NeNe doesn’t know exactly what she’s doing. She’s been on camera longer than some of y’all have been alive.” Others, however, are sticking to their critique, insisting the makeup doesn’t translate well on HD video and distracts from the content of her show. To be fair, we’ve seen beauty trends change drastically in the last few years. With more people embracing the “clean girl” aesthetic and natural finishes, NeNe’s full-glam look might just be clashing with the current TikTok-fueled beauty vibes. But NeNe’s never been one to follow trends — she sets them. Remember the blonde wigs and statement lips that ruled Bravo for years? Iconic. And while fans may want her to scale it back, NeNe is reminding us that she’s still the boss of her own face — and her own brand. So whether you’re Team “blend that contour” or Team “let NeNe live,” one thing is for sure: she heard the feedback, and she’s not changing a thing. She might be saying “bye wig” to subtlety — but as always, she’s doing it NeNe-style.
