THE CYNTHIA BAILEY INCIDENT

NeNe's falling out with Bayley is rooted in an old incident. Six months ago, NeNe and Bayley had words after NeNe called her friend's husband a"bitch."

NeNe apologized, and all seemed to be settled, until the "RHOA" reunion, during which Bayley dusted off the incident and threw it in NeNe's face in front of the cameras.
