Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

NeNe Leakes will be joining Lea Michele, Sue Sylvester and other cast members of the popular musical show ‘Glee’! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star initially grabbed two episodes as swim coach Roz Washington who will rival Sue Sylvester’s character.

While NeNe’s recurring role was rumored for over a week now, Lea Michele and Chris Colfter confirmed the news on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ on Monday night.

“She’s awesome,” Michele told Andy Cohen. “She plays the new swim coach, Roz.”

After the show aired NeNe could finally spill the beans on Twitter:

“The secret is out! YES I hav a recurring role on GLEE! I’m coach Roz Washington the synchronized swim coach! So honored!”

“Running through the house screaming Gleeeeee! Coach Roz Washington is gonna get that Sue Sylvester! I’m so proud of myself.”

If you weren’t already an avid Glee watcher would you watch now because of NeNe?

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
