The latest episode of the reality TV series "Real Housewives of Atlanta" "RHOA" season 10 revealed that NeNe Leakes had met co-star Sheree Whitfield's prison boyfriend, Tyron Gilliams, had met in the past, with Gilliams hinting that he may have had a relationship with Leakes, something that the latter vehemently denies. 

"NeNe would never want to speak anything negatively about me," Gilliams said on a phone call to Whitfield, adding, "She don't want to go down that road."

In the tenth episode of "RHOA" season 10, Whitfield also hinted that Leakes did try to pursue Gilliams. 

Fans were not able to see or hear Leakes' thoughts on the matter during the episode. Luckily, Bravo uploaded a new clip of "RHOA After Show" where Leakes was able to react to the rumors surrounding her and Gilliams.

Leakes claimed that, while it is true that she and Gilliams had met in the past, there was no intimacy between the two of them. She said that the farthest they ever went was a simple dinner between friends where she did not feel any attraction whatsoever and, if anything, Gilliams was the one actively trying to pursue her.

She explained that she was going through her divorce at the time and the two of them were staying at the same hotel. She was approached by Gilliams and a friend of his and they went out for dinner as a group. Later on, Gilliams asked her out for dinner alone which was the furthest their relationship went.

The Shade Room had a chance to ask Leakes for more insight on the matter. She told the media outlet that she is disappointed in the whole ordeal.

"It's very disappointing that I'm being used to help with her story line this season," she said, "I knew him very briefly and no sexual contact took place. No kiss, no holding hands, no hugging, nothing! Dinner? drinks."

The next episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is scheduled to air on Sunday, Jan. 28, at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
