Oh, yes, it’s ladies night and I’m feeling right, oh, yes, it’s ladies night, oh what a night!… Apparently, Nene Leakes had a hell of a night last Saturday and she was super lit while conducting her hosting gigs for the comedy tour Ladies Night Out.
The Real Housewife of Atlanta reality star shocked the sold-out crowd at The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland when according to Daily Mail she appeared to be intoxicated while hosting the show according to multiple sources.
Leakes, 51, came on stage nearly 50 minutes late to start the evening. What those in attendance didn’t know was that backstage the organizers of the tour were trying to help the TV star pull herself together so that she was able to go onstage and start the show.
‘Hey DMV [DC,Maryland,Virginia]. get on you motherf—n feet everybody,’ Leakes shouted in the microphone, appearing to stumble and very clumsily hugging Jordan before she left the stage.
The Real Housewives star then tried to go into her comedy material, but seem disoriented and the timing of her delivery was off.

‘Everyone wants to know when did NeNe Leakes become a comic. Is she a comedian?’ she presented, talking slow and pacing back and forth on the stage. ‘No bitch, I’m not a comedian. I’m a motherf***in’ hustler!’
The joke landed the TV personality a big laugh, but it would be one of the only laughs and only jokes she would tell the rest of the night.
Leakes then attempted to introduce the show’s first comic, comedienne Janelle James.
After struggling to remember some of James’ credits, Leakes offered to the crowd: ‘Give it up for Jes James.’
The crowd applauded and James made her way to the stage. James addressed the name mix-up saying:
‘Thank you all of the applause because you don’t know me. And apparently, neither does NeNe Leakes because my name is Janelle James, not Jes James,’ she clarified to the crowd, who laughed and applauded loudly.
When it was time for Leakes to introduce another comic, Melanie Comarcho, she began repeating herself.
