According to reports, NeNe Leakes has found herself in some financial trouble, owing thousands of dollars in rent and taxes. The former star of Bravo's hit show, "Real Housewives of Atlanta," has been hit with a state tax execution by the Georgia Department of Revenue for a whopping $28,593.24 in unpaid taxes. This amount has increased from the initial $17,785.22 due to interest and fees.
The tax filing is related to Leakes' now-closed Georgia lounge, The Linnethia, LLC. This news comes shortly after she was sued for $25K by the landlord of her former clothing store, Swagg Boutique. According to the landlord, Leakes signed a lease in 2017 and extended it until 2021. However, when she vacated the property in 2022, she left behind $22K in unpaid rent.
On August 16, 2023, Leakes was served with paperwork while leaving her luxurious $1 million condo in Atlanta. The landlord claims to have made multiple attempts to collect the unpaid rent, but was ignored by Leakes. As a result, they had no choice but to file a lawsuit. Even after being served, Leakes failed to pay the debt, leading a judge to intervene and order her to pay the $22K in unpaid rent, $2,315 in attorney fees, and an additional $400 in court costs.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Leakes has faced financial troubles. Last year, she was hit with a default judgment by Photography by Ace, a photography company she reportedly hired for her lounge, but failed to pay their invoices. These financial setbacks have come three years after Leakes announced her departure from "RHOA" ahead of the Season 13 premiere.
Leakes has been a part of the show since its inception in Season 1, making her an OG on the popular reality series. After announcing her exit, she publicly boycotted Bravo, accusing the network of racism behind the scenes. However, in August 2022, she dropped her racial discrimination lawsuit against Bravo. It's safe to say that the messy fallout has made it unlikely for her to ever return to the show that she helped make a success.
