SNAKE BITE
REAL Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes finally announced that Gail "Yovanna" Momplaisir is the sought-after "snake" on this season of the show.
After the housewives confronted Nene and Yovanna during their trip to Toronto, the mom of two, 52, said her longtime friend had been the one to record Cynthia Bailey while talking behind her back.

Fans of the show know the housewives have been on the hunt for the cast member who secretly recorded Cynthia talking about Nene "like a dog."
And although Nene has kept mum about the subject, she finally came clean when the whole group confronted her, Yovanna and ally Marlo Hampton.
Nene first said: "But you know what, I'm not a snitch. I will say this, the person that ... whatever happened, just stand up."
Marlo then broke the silence and said: "Yovanna, go ahead and tell these people what's going on."
This exchange implied that Nene and Marlo knew it was Yovanna who had made the recording and shared it with Nene.

The show then cut to Nene during confessionals where a producer questioned her further on the situation.
A producer said: "Is Yovanna the snake?"
And Nene responded: "Snake is not a nice word, so I wouldn't call her a snake. Is Yovanna with information? Yes."

That's when things turned ugly in the show because Porsha Williams yelled at Yovanna and said she got in between Cynthia and Nene's friendship and that she had no right to call the rest of the housewives fake because she was the same way.
Yovanna only had one thing to say to these accusations.
She said: "The snake is your man."
This allegation started the explosive fight between the housewives, where one fight led to another.

Yovanna had to be escorted out of the room because Porsha wanted to physically fight her over mentioning the drama between her and Dennis.
This then lead to Nene trying to explain to Cynthia the situation and chasing after her in the hotel.
Nene told her: "Listen, we've been friends for a very long time and I think you deserve to know the truth.
"What I know is that Yovanna has some sort of audio of Cynthia and it's really important for Cynthia to hear what this girl has to say.
"I don't want the girls to think I made up some bulls**t."

When the producer questioned Nene and asked her why she wouldn't tell Cynthia who recorded her, she said: "I don't owe her that.
"She didn't tell me anything when I needed to know. She didn't give me any warning signs, she didn't give me a heads up."
Nene was talking about the fact that Cynthia knew Kenya Moore was coming to a party without letting Nene know.

Kenya then addressed Nene during confessional and said that Nene knew there was no recording and that it had all been made up.
She said: "She made the whole thing up in an effort to make everyone believe that Cynthia is such a bad person."
Nene then questioned why Yovanna wasn't speaking up.
She said: "All of this time you know and I know that there's an audio, so why won't you say it?"

To add to the drama, this sparked the ultimate showdown between Nene and Kenya Moore, who was trying to defend Cynthia at the time.
Nene had to be held back by Porsha, Marlo, and security as Kenya was escorted out of the room by Eva Marcille.
Nene then goes after Kenya and said: "She's trying to come for me, she's got the wrong b***h."

As a result, Yovanna left the trip early and Nene followed behind due to a previous commitment.
One thing that still left things unclear for the viewers was the fact that Yovanna never fully admitted to having recorded Cynthia.
Housewife Kandi Burruss also noticed this and told Andy Cohen during Watch What Happens Live: "Nene was snitching during her interview.
"We never got any real answers, Andy. I felt like there had to be a recording, I didn't think that Nene would make that up. But it was like this big circle being talked around us and it was making us frustrated."
