Does Rocky really annoy anyone else?


I really can't stand her acting style (at least, I think it's her acting style and not how she is in real life). I first saw in her Glee and I really did not like her character, which she played in the same style.
I have nothing against her character. I actually quite like her on paper. But there's just something about the way she talks and acts that I just don't like.

She has no style. she's not an actress. She's a television personality who started acting. She's more or less playing herself. I don't see much of a stretch from Rocky, and the Glee character and Nene herself.

I hadn't heard of/seen her before Glee (and still have only encountered her in Glee and The New Normal), so I wasn't aware of what she was like in real life.
The only difference I can see in her character on Glee and Rocky are what they do. Everything else is the same.
(I was really expecting someone to say how amazing she is and is really popular etc and how dare I insult her. So I'm glad you didn't.)

Yeah she was one of the Housewives of the real housewives of Atlanta. She was also, i believe on Celebrity Apprentice.

Haha, I actually love Nene Leakes and it's clear so does Ryan Murphy and that's why he's writing these roles specifically for her. I think because i liked her persona on her reality show, that I don't mind the bad acting. That can only go so far, as in the case of this past episode. This episode needed a lot of emotional range from Rocky and Nene just couldn't deliver it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

ut there's just something about the way she talks and acts that I just don't like.
Something about the last couple episodes must have really brought that out because I noticed it, too. I actually like the character quite a bit but the acting, specifically her speech pattern, is super annoying.

Sometimes she's too much for me but other times I don't mind her.

The little girl (forgot her name) annoys me the most out of all the characters.

I like her

The way she talks annoys me. She sounds like she's forcing it and it sounds "chunky".

I saw her in an advert for The Real Housewives of Atanta, she seems wooden in that as well.
