Atlanta Housewife "Nene" Forced Out Of Home

NeNe Leakes, the hit of Bravo’s hit “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” has real life troubles. She and her devoted husband Greg have reportedly been forced to move from the five-bedroom home we saw them living in during the series that kept us entertained this fall.

According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home in Duluth, Ga., the couple vacated the premises last month after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice in September, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.


The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.

The owner of the home, Kajani Shenaz Ali, lives overseas, Pierce said. Online records show the home in the gated community of Stonebrier at Sugarloaf, was purchased for $829,400 in September 2006. Pierce said the Leakeses moved into the home shortly after it was built in 2006.

NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

NeNe, 41, wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!”

The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s [sic] business is that??”

Gregory, 54, couldn’t be reached for comment. The TV show called him a real estate investor. The only business the AJC could find under his name in Georgia is called Advantage Move LLC. The phone number listed for Advantage Move has been disconnected.

I don't feel sorry for Nene. Maybe if she stops spending so frivolously, she and Greg could pay their rent.

Epu, you are absolutely right. There is nothing hilarious about financial hardship. But what is funny is the idiotic behavor she and the other housewives were expressing on the show. It is also hilarious to no end that she fronted so hard. That's the humor. So the moral to the store is BE YOUR DAMN SELF and stop all this pretending.

I am a big fan of "Housewives" and NeNe is one of the few who did not spend lavishly. I pray that all goes well with her because financial hardship is not a joke and should not be taken lightly. Everyone fall on hard times and I pray that God guides her and her family in the right direction.
