“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Nene Leakes has announced that she has signed with global brand licensing agency Beanstalk to create her own fashion line.
Beanstalk says in an announcement tied to Licensing Expo 2012, currently going on in Las Vegas, that it intends to “leverage NeNe’s position in pop culture to offer consumers fashion-forward, affordable apparel and accessories, designed to empower women to walk into a room and ‘own it’ — like NeNe herself.”
NeNe will reportedly be the highest-paid performer on the upcoming fifth season of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” (a reported $1 million salary for the season); she has a recurring role on Fox’s “Glee” as Coach Roz Washington and a role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming NBC sitcom “The New Normal”; she is an author and TV magazine correspondent; and she was a contestant on NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
All of this factored into Beanstalk’s decision to get in the NeNe business.
