NeNe Leakes To Guest Star On Glee

We’ve seen people attempt to go up against Sue Sylvester on Glee before. Assertiveness and confidence would likely go a long way there, which is why NeNe Leakes guest-starring on Glee actually makes sense, despite the fact that she’s actually a reality TV star as opposed to an actress.

Entertainment Weekly posted the news that Leakes is set to play a role in at least one episode of the Fox musical dramedy series. Leakes, who’s known for starring in The Real Housewives of Atlanta, will play Roz Washington, “the school’s synchronized-swim team coach and Sue’s latest rival.”

Most people who know who Leakes is at all, probably recognize her as one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Not being a regular viewer of any of the Real Housewives series, I recognize her better from her appearance as one of the contestants of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. It’ll be interesting to see how she takes on an acting role and even more so, how she does going up against Sue Sylvester. And... will she sing?

?According to EW, she’s already filmed her first episode and she tweeted recently that she would be returning to the set of the series sometime after the holidays.
