Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes is asking for forgiveness after wishing rape on a heckler during her stand-up comedy show this weekend.

"I truly regret and apologize for what I said from the stage in Oakland over the weekend," the 49-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta personality posted on her Facebook Monday.

"Sometimes words can cut deep and hurt when you have no intentions of them doing so. As a woman and someone who has survived abuse, I regret the words that I used. I made a mistake and I should have known better. I hope people accept my deepest and sincerest apologies. I am sorry."

It's not clear what set off Leakes' temper while she performed at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California on Oct. 7, but it appears to have been a poorly-received joke about Uber drivers trying to have sex with their passengers.

Booing can be heard in a video of the incident, but we can't be sure what drew Leakes' attention to one woman in particular.

"I ain't even gonna tell you about the godd--n Uber driver," Leakes can be heard saying on the video. "I hope he rape yo' a-- tonight when he take you home, b---h," she said. "And steal yo' funky hello kitty, b---h."

Leakes has also been feuding with former castmate Kim Zolciak-Biermann's 20-year-old daughter Brielle, who recently posted a video to Snapchat allegedly showing cockroaches in Leakes' bathroom.

In the Instagram tirade to follow, Leakes called Brielle "racist" and her mom "trashy."

Zolciak-Biermann defended her daughter in a subsequent post, saying, "At this point I almost feel sad for you @neneleakes. I had hoped for many yrs you would have seen the bigger picture but it's evident you haven't, I will continue to pray for you."

The new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres on Nov. 5 at 8/7c on Bravo.
