Monyetta Shaw-Carter Reacts to NeNe Leakes’ Claims That Some ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Stars Are ‘Making Sh— Up’ (Exclusive)
'I would love to come on as a peach holder if they would have me,' the Bravo star exclusively shares with The Messenger
Not everything on Real Housewives of Atlanta is peaches and cream, according to Monyetta Shaw-Carter.
After joining the show in Season 15 as a friend of the cast, the founder of Keep It Classy Nails found herself spending quality time with Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora, Shereé Whitfield, Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross.
But after the season wrapped, some critics — like former star NeNe Leakes — questioned the authenticity of the Bravo cast.
"I often look at them and say that everybody on there is making sh-- up," Leakes recently shared on Bethenny Frankel's Just B podcast. "When we entered, we were so good because we were real. It was authentic. We were real. Now everybody has a fake boyfriend, a fake everything. Everything is fake, everything. They have all these stories they made up."
In an exclusive interview with The Messenger, Shaw-Carter reacted to Leakes' claims... and partially agreed.
"I mean, honestly, I feel like some of the ladies with the peaches are making up stuff," she shared. "I have real stuff going on, like a lot of real things going on. But this season, I'm there to support. I would have to agree with her on some, not all, of course."

Shaw-Carter was also quick to praise Burruss and Moore for each "doing her thing." At the same time, she added, "I do believe that some ladies are making up stuff and I think the viewers can see straight through it."
While Bravo has not commented on casting plans for Season 16, Shaw-Carter has seen the rumors of a possible reboot. Citing high ratings, the businesswoman doesn't believe the whole cast should be reworked.
"I also heard that rumor, too, like they're gonna get rid of half and keep half and then get some new girls? I think that would be perfect," she said. "I would love to come on as a peach-holder if they would have me, if it's the right thing to do, if it's in the cards. I think they definitely missed out on a lot."
For now, Shaw-Carter is focused on her own family and brands — including her press-on nail business. Notably, her company Keep It Classy Nails features an assortment of products for less than $20.
While the items are already available online, shoppers can soon browse the collections in Nigel's in Los Angeles this November.
"I just wanted to create this high-end brand that you could buy anywhere, [and] it's for everyone," she said. "If you like the short nails you can type with, it'll be cute. Or if you want to get your long stiletto nails or coffin nail designs, you can with the proper colors or I have nudes as well. I think it's for everyone, let your nails be the extension of your personality. That's what it's all about."
