    I can’t believe they put her trashy azz on the cover. If she is influencing america , then we are in big trouble.

    • Krystal says:

      Wow your a hater

      • YeahRight says:

        Not a hater , just call it like I see it. She is classless and trashy , plain and simple.

        • rukidding? says:

          yeah and krystal called you how she saw you. which is a hater. personally i could care less. i just don’t agree that you think she’s classless and trashy. she is obviously far from it. out of all of the housewives nene improved the most and she always presented herself as the realest person on the show. especially the last seasons of the show she avoided drama. don’t get me wrong she isn’t mother teresa but she definitely isn’t trash. she always has her head held up high and i respect that.

      • renee says:

        I don’t think she ever thought that she would rise to the position that she is in now. Good for her.

    • Melinda says:

      Agree yeahright….. Not a hater, just not a fan of hers. She called Kim a homewrecker, yet she ended up doing the same thing. WTH?

    I don’t know if she’s the most influential but I do really like her

    Good for Nene for making the cover BUT what woman with real money and real power would have agreed to this particular photo?

    The problem I have with Ebony and other like magazines aimed at the African American audience is that there are real influential movers and shakers engaged in careers that make a difference in the community and the world that never get any attention. If it’s not a rapper, basketball player or someone playing to the stereotype of a mad black woman, you will most likely not be given any props from these type publications.

    If this creature is a an “influence” on African American, then I feel sorry for them. ‘nough said…

    • lol says:

      Don’t feel sorry for “us”. This magazine does NOT speak for the entire African American community. ‘Nough said…

      • Tenisha says:

        Don’t waste your pity on “us”. It’s a magazine cover…I doubt the majority of Americans base their lives on how a celebrity acts and behaves.

    I’m trying not to judge. Honestly, good for NeNe. I wish I were rich, on t.v., and draped out on Ebony. Still, list of “most influential”? I feel like plenty of Black entertainers get noticed, but what about Black teachers purposefully working in impoverished communities, neighborhood watch leaders, the plethora of dedicated black social workers, black missionaries. I’m sure those types of people are on the list, but something about her being on the cover just seems a little off. I’m sure she’s done some great things, but the word that keeps coming up is “perspective.” Is she really influential or just popular right now? Is she affecting meaningful change in a meaningful way throughout the Black community in a way that moves us forward? Maybe the answer is yes, but these are just what come to mind.

  6. Dana says:

    I like NeNe but she is not influential. She got on the real housewives and made something of herself.I don’t know how she’s influential but I think its great she made the list

    SIGN OF THE TIMES I GUESS. HONEY BOO BOO HAS REPLACED SHIRLEY TEMPLE! WE DON’T EXPECT MUCH TODAY…..SAD

  8. Kendrick says:

    haters in the club speak the fck up. wowwwwwww so much shade.

  9. anauris says:

    love it , I’m happy for her

  10. CallingOutHousewives says:

    I love it She really FAKED IT UNTILL SHE MADE IT she came frm S1 fake loud mouth to S5 Rich Bitch Loud mouth lol

  11. Jarlath says:

    How many Donald Trump cheques did she cash? Clearly the magazine put her on the cover to receive media attention.

  12. WarOnTara says:

    I like NeNe just fine, but influential? There’s a difference between having money and a career and being influential.

  13. sana says:

    wow! her body looks magnified and her head looks small!! She needs to work out and have a different hair style.. a big one!

  14. Jealous R We says:

    Hi Haters!!!

  15. ThatOtherChick says:

    Umm… being a total ass to every one of your co-stars on reality tv makes her “influential”??

  16. jewishevileye says:

    SO happy for NENE….I love this success story so much more than Bethenny’s story. I think NENE has had a truly hard life, not the made up one Bethenny claims to have had. Poor Bethenny went to a fancy boarding school, nobody loves her….Boo hoo….I went to boarding school and it was amazing now that I look back on it. It is not prison. Ridiculous. Anyway, glad she’s gone. I hope NENE ends up with millions of dollars and the life she always dreamt of. She is a great example that money doesn’t buy happiness because she was fun even when she was broke. Her and Kim were one of the best friendships I’ve ever seen on reality tv. They were hilarious and it’s too bad but the show must go on. Oh yea, Miss NENE has arrived!

  17. kydnaas says:

    Gotta hand it to NeNe, she’s doing amazing on the New Normal! Love that show!

  18. rukidding? says:

    amazing how people can’t just be happy for someone. nene might not be influential to you but she can be for someone else. she came from a broke environment to being on a reality show, two tv shows and now a magazine cover. i say good for her and she is a symbol of success for somebody. many reality stars try to make it on movies and tv and she made it happen. she is the “it” star right now and of course ebony wants her on the cover. many of you act like she is some evil horrible person. yes, she can be loud but that is no reason to hate on someone. there are worse human beings than nene leakes being loud.
