Cynthia: NeNe was Playfully Giving Me a Hard Time

Cynthia Bailey dishes on rekindling her friendship with NeNe Leakes.

Bravotv.com: Why did you get so emotional when Kenya told you about her mom?
Cynthia Bailey: I have a wonderful relationship with my mother and I am very close to my daughter Noelle. I can't imagine not having my mother in my life. As a mother myself, no one is more important than my child. The unfortunate situation between Kenya and her mother truly breaks my heart. There is no love like a mother's love. To live your whole life without love and communication from your own mother is almost impossible to overcome and accept. I honestly don't know if I would be able to do it myself and endure as bravely as Kenya. How can anyone expect you to forget about your mother and move on without exhausting any and every possibility for greater peace and closure? I commend her for trying one last time for reconciliation. I have great admiration and respect for Kenya not having allowed this unthinkable misfortune to define, hinder, or permanently damage her and her life’s purpose. Kenya is one of the strongest women I know and she has my unconditional love and support. I pray her visit to Detroit gave her the confirmation she needs to move forward in peace.

Bravotv.com: Has NeNe unblocked you on Twitter?
CB: Yes! NeNe has unblocked me on Twitter and we are both following each other again. From the way things are going, I have no reason to believe that I will be blocked or unfollowed again anytime in the near future.

Bravotv.com: What did you think when NeNe called you out for calling Kenya your girl?
CB: Kenya is my girl and we are great friends. I don't think NeNe was upset about this. I feel she was playfully giving me a hard time about my relationship with Kenya as friends do with one another. NeNe and I have not been friends for a couple of years, and I feel we are both reclaiming our place in each other’s lives. These are two different women and two different relationships. I respect them accordingly. They are both dear to my heart and mean the world to me. My goal is to be the greatest friend I can be to both of them. Keep the three of us in prayer.
