Atlanta Real Housewife NeNe Leakes is writing a memoir, which I’ll admit I’d hit up Borders for, called “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice.”
In the memoir, she admits her stripper past, which occurred when she was in her twenties and hard up for cash (so begins every stripper story). She says,
“Yes, I was a stripper – let the judgments ensue. I’m not ashamed. What difference does it make if I danced or not? Is the sun going to stop shining? Is my past taking food out of your mouth? [I stripped] for the sake of my son, and to restore my confidence in myself. My son was in private school, his father wasn’t chipping in for pull-ups or food, I had no job and no money coming in, the rent was past due, and the super told me and my roommate that our condo owner was about to put us out. It was about survival. I could make $500 off one guy just by turning him on. These men were obviously there to see what I had, and I quickly realized that those men weren’t there to make me feel bad about myself.” (quote via Gatecrasher)
She makes a point. Alright, good on ya, NeNe!
