The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore is calling out NeNe Leakes for her (alleged) failure to deliver on a promise made to Detroit public school kids.

The duo promised to donate the money to a Detroit foundation for public schoolchildren after NeNe told Moore that if she donated $20,000, then she’d match it.

It is that charitable vow that Moore says Leakes has failed to live up to.

“I think that it is typical NeNe!” Moore told Hip Hollywood (dot) com.

“She is really, to me, showing the disgusting part of her personality.”

“It doesn’t have anything to do with me or you. It’s not a pissing contest. Give the money to the kids in the city of Detroit for education,” Kenya Moore snapped.

“It has nothing to do with whether you like me or when you said you were going to donate it, or when I said it,” added the former Miss USA champion.

Moore says it’s not personal … well it sort of is, but only ’cause of NeNe.

Of NeNe Leakes, with whom she has frequently clashed, “She’s the one who said, ‘I write the check, you write the check, we write it together.’ But I wrote the check first.”

Kenya says she has already written the group a check for $20,000, and feels Leakes is dragging her feet because “clearly she has no intention” of giving.

Then Moore got personal, really laying into her rival hard core.

“I think it really shows the type of person she is,” she went on.

“You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the girl. She is a ghetto, classless beast for cheating those kids out of $20,000. They need it. She has it.”

Leakes is the highest paid housewife, ever, for what it’s worth.

For her part, NeNe says she’ll donate “when I feel like it” and said of Moore’s criticism: “Girl, bye. You’re not a part of this circle and never will be!”

If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online, you know that burn may sting the most of all for a group of women so obsessed with image and prestige.
