Elle Magazine Mistakes Danai Gurira for Nene Leakes

At Elle’s Women in Television Celebration Thursday night at Soho House in West Hollywood, a major case of mistaken identity took place. The magazine confused “The Walking Dead” star Danai Gurira for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” personality Nene Leakes, who was also in attendance.

“#NeNeLeakes looking gorgeous in #alexanderwang and @hot diamonds #ellewitv” the magazine posted to their Instagram, captioned underneath a photo of Gurira. The picture was eventually taken down before getting uploaded again with the caption: “Apologies—clearly someone on our team needs glasses! The fabulous Danai Gurira looking stunning as ever!”

omg! was inside the event and had the pleasure of sitting in between Leakes and Gurira, both of whom handled the mix up with the utmost class.

Leakes, who currently also stars on NBC’s new recently GLAAD Media Award-nominated hit show “The New Normal,” was alerted to the incident via social media. She leaned over to show Gurira the photo and both women just laughed it off.
