RHOA NeNe Leakes, Marlo Hampton fight staged by Bravo editing to Make NeNe this season's bad guy, Kenya Moore did not start fight?

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality star, NeNe Leakes accuses the Bravo producing team for making her look "bad" for a rating boost.

In an interview with Essence.com, the "Dancing with the Stars" competitor admitted that the people behind the scenes are purposely showing the TV starlet in a negative light.

"I feel like these networks and production companies-I'm just keeping it real-I just feel like they build you up to tear you down. I feel like they've done whatever they could do to try to not show me in the best light," NeNe said.

Leakes revealed that she understands that she is being portrayed as the "bad guy" this season ad accepts the role, but says it's up to the editing board when the finished product is aired.

 "I feel like so many people cry wolf on editing. I'm just saying that they've done whatever they could to try to diminish anything that I've done and I'm okay with it because I know about reality TV. Every season there has to be a villain; there has to be somebody that straddles the fence, and there has to be a little $#!t stirrer. All of those things make the show."

When Leakes described the big fight scene between her and Marlo Hampton, she said that what was broadcasted wasn't how it went down between them.

"What you see on the show is not what happened to Marlo and me," NeNe said. "No one can step in our relationship and break us up if we're real friends. So, that's not it. Our stuff is deeper than Kenya Moore."

 Leakes told the magazine, "I considered Marlo a friend," The Housewife said. "I supported her when nobody supported her. As in, not one housewife wanted her around...In fact, Bravo said she was not their brand. That's how they described it."
