While she posted about the girls outing on Instagram as if everything went well, she actually planned something up her sleeve by sharing about what exactly transpired during a "The Wendy Williams Show" hot topics segment. According to NeNe, she and the two women were at the Bergdorf Glamour Suite and each had a sales girl who were picking out items for them.

FEELING RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED AT THE SHOP

Unfortunately, Williams felt disrespected by the order given by the management, and even after they went upstairs for lunch, as the security allegedly treated them "like the hood." Regardless of how much they earn, or the freedom they have to do whatever it is they want, she was distressed by the fact that they were treated badly because of how they looked.

"They treated us like “the hood” that they treat us. Yup and that’s alls I’m gonna say. You can earn what you want, you can do what you want. But when you are what you are you better not be surprised about how people treat you. We were followed like we were about to do something."
