For a short time, Nene Leakes had the role of Rocky Rhoades on The New Normal until it was cancelled. According to IMDb, the plot of the show was:
A single mother’s life as she becomes a surrogate for a gay couple.
S2S Magazine reported that Nene admitted to being upset by the cancellation of The New Normal and she expressed her feelings to her fans.
I’m so sad and angry about ‘The New Normal’ going away. If you were in this business, then you would know that as an African-American actress not many of us can say that we have worked on two major networks at the same damn time as working on a cable network. That’s amazing within itself! I love how these chicks try to diminish what is clearly a major accomplishment. Let’s see them get a series to lose, then holla back at me. By the way, what do they do again? My point exactly!
