NeNe Leakes Debuts Elegant Bangs Hairstyle Shortly After 'Soft Era' Announcement

NeNe Leakes is entering a self-love phase! The TV personality recently launched a new hairstyle a few days after revealing her plans for a clean slate.

The entertainer became a household name following her appearance on Bravo's hit reality TV series, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Although she served as the program's breakout star, the 55-year-old's time with the show has ended.

Like her departure from the famous franchise, it seems the mother of two may be heading to the conclusion of her relationship with Nyonisela Sioh. The New Yorker recently hinted at trouble in the couple's paradise, claiming to be in her "soft era."

Taking to her Instagram Story, the caramel-toned sensation proved to her followers that black does not crack as she rocked her natural beauty. The SWAGG Boutique founder looked younger than a woman in her fifties, flaunting a flawless skin glow.

Filming herself at what appeared to be a restaurant, the "Dancing with the Stars" alum gave viewers a glimpse at her casual ensemble. The TV personality's generous bosom spilled out of a white tank top, a color she matched with her white nail polish.

The entertainer accessorized with a silver wristwatch and a diamond knuckle ring, completing her chic look with a radiant pearly white smile. Giving off excited vibes, Leakes ran a hand through her shoulder-length honey-blonde hair, announcing it was her first time trying a new style.

"Okay, so I decided to try some bangs today. I never wear bangs, I'm not wearing any makeup, and I just wanted to know what you guys think," the media personality chimed, promising to drop more updates.

"I will be into makeup later today and come back here to let you see. I hope you like it!" the New Yorker concluded her message, adding a special shout-out to the hairstylist responsible for her gorgeous bangs.

The cute post came at the heels of the NeNe Leakes Entertainment founder's "soft era" announcement. Days earlier, the 55-year-old raised concern about her relationship status with Sioh following a candid discussion about happiness on her Instagram Story.

The video, taken in the Broadway alum's home, captured the "Zumanity" actress in a white sleeveless top and fully glammed-up face. The businesswoman noted that her post addressed the various speculations about her life.

Although the entertainer did not mention what was said about her, the social media personality noted her disinterest in responding to any topic. Leakes revealed she had gotten "lots of emails, text messages, and DMs" from numerous people in the last few days.

These individuals had contacted the "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" star hoping she would comment on "this and that subject." However, the TV personality did not wish to appease the public's curiosity about her life.

Hinting at a possible separation from her Liberian-American lover, the mother of two said: "I am moving into my soft era, and my main focus is my happiness, and I'm not the kind of person that holds grudges."

"You know, like any human, you get mad for a while, but then after that, I kinda like to let it go and just let God and move on. That's just how I am in real life," the Linnethia Lounge owner claimed.

Before her "soft era" announcement, Leakes previously raised eyebrows about her relationship with Sioh weeks earlier. Taking to her Instagram Story, the 55-year-old shared two messages depicting her anger against "narcissistic men."

Although the former "Fashion Police" co-host did not mention her boyfriend by name, her words caused many to wonder if the Nyoni Couture founder was the recipient of her posts. Venting against all self-centered men, the TV personality's first slide warned women against the likely harbingers of doom.

The "I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding" executive producer post featured a bold red "Beware" sticker alongside the note: "WARNING TO ALL LADIES: NARCISSISTIC MEN ARE THE WORST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! THEY COME TO DESTROY!"

In the second message, the "To Tell the Truth" panelist advised her followers never to trust egotistical men, claiming they spread false narratives. Leakes wrote: "NARCISSISTIC MEN WILL SLANDER YOUR NAME TO ANYONE THAT WILL LISTEN! BEWARE, THEY ARE NEVER TELLING THE TRUTH."
