Nene Leakes Vents on Talk Show About 'Back Stabber' Star Jones

NeNe Leakes is a tough chick.

First, she ended the latest season of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' having a big blowout with castmate Kim Zolciak.

Then she had a falling-out with fellow 'Celebrity Apprentice' contestant Star Jones while shooting the series. The new season of Donald Trump's reality hit premieres this weekend.

On Friday, Leakes appeared on CBS' daytime series 'The Talk' to promote the show. And, sure enough, Julie Chen and the ladies asked what was going on between Jones and Leakes. The 'Housewives' star had no interest in denying reports of a feud.

"Star's not nice," was Leakes' quick reply. "I believe...that anybody who has ever worked with her would side with me," Leakes said. "She's not a nice person. She's a witch...with a 'b' in front."

How did their war of words begin? Leakes claims that when she first joined NBC's 'Celebrity Apprentice,' she went to dinner and lunch and double-dated with Jones, because she had "no preconceived notions" and "wanted to get to know her." But soon, she claims it became apparent that Jones was a "back stabber."

"And I called her on it," Leakes says of the former 'View' star, "Only because I'm loyal, and she's not."

For her part, Jones reportedly hired security to make sure Leakes would keep her distance.

After part one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, it seemed obvious that NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak's relationship was irreparably shattered as the ladies revisited their nasty fight aboard that bus.

Yet on Sunday's reunion, the second and final part, Zolciak offered an olive branch (of sorts), telling host Andy Cohen that she couldn't deny that she wished Leakes well in her life. True, it wasn't an all-out declaration of friendship but, as Cohen pointed out, Zolciak seemed genuinely moved – even wistful – while watching a montage of her greatest hits and funniest moments with Leakes over the course of the season.

Leakes, however, sat impassively and didn't seem to share in Kim's sentiment at all. In fact, she said that she thought their friendship was over, definitively.

Before arriving at this détente (of sorts), which concluded a rather staid, drama-free reunion, the two did get into another round of she-said, she-said, arguing again about the origins of their fight.

Perhaps they really won't reconcile – though NeNe and Kim have certainly been down this road before. After watching Sunday's reunion special, tell us:
