NeNe’s hubby, Greg Leakes, is on the lam from everybody right now and owes the IRS , among other people:

Looks like  NeNe is up to her old tricks again. We don’t think they are “lint pocket” broke, but she should have realized that when you are put in the spotlight, all bets are off as far as your personal business goes. Gotta get your, Ducks, in a row NeNe. SMH @ The Leakes household.

    I hope things turn around for Nene and her family, because I wouldn’t wish the IRS or homelessness on anyone.

    the only one who should wear sleeveless tops on that stage is Sheree and the asian black lady. everyone else should…cover up those ham hocks.

  • The_Truth

    ***I wish they disected EVERY “reality” show the way they’ve done this one.

    REASONS WHY THEY DID:

    3) Discredits blacks into “wanna-be’s”

    2) No reason to take black affluence seriously.

    1) Make viwers think twice when they see wealthy African-americans. . .because they’re use to seeing the “hood” as our REAL reality!

    -Wakeup dummies.

    They probably still got more money then me! lol

    I kind of new that the house they lived in wasn’t there, there were no decorations or furniture or anything.

    Isn’t it very interesting that the folks on the I-team and the people they interview are white?

    There is one housewife they won’t be checking for and thats my girl Deshawn. NBA checks are guarenteed baby!

  • Nyah Molineaux

    The truly wealthy does not have the need to flash their riches, in fact, many of them do not.

    These ladies and this show is a disgrace.

  • KENNEDY

    You are right on The_TRUTH

    Same as BET and other media outlets choosing to focus on crime in Chicago all of a sudden. They are trying to discredit Obama b/c he is Black and from the murder capital….

    When Chicago was the murder cap 3yrs ago nobody cared. Its about making HIM and ALL blacks look bad. People need to look beyond the surface and receive EVERYTHING the media tells us.

  • KENNEDY

    I meant *NOT* RECEIVE

    People like Nene need to be called on their BS. This woman behaved like an immature, ghetto rat on the show. She had so many negative things to say about other people. Even before the truth was revealed, it was obvious how insecure she was. She needed to put others down (especially Sheree) to feel better about herself. Well Nene, karma’s a bit#@ isn’t it. Maybe now you will learn to think before you speak. Sheree tends to also brag too much but at least she has some class. As a professional black woman I am offended by Bravo’s decision to even put someone like Nene on the show. Yet another attempt to display negative sterotypes on nat’l TV. Nene, pick up what remains of your fowl life and fade to black! Buh bye.

  • Caramellatte

    What is the big damn deal, I don’t understand why they are going so hard on the them…Good gracious…oh well, We still love ya Ne-Ne!

  • http://zabethblog.blogspot.com/ Z

    Did the white housewives of the OC and NYC go through this much scrutiny? I think some people in society are still just uncomfortable with seeing black women MARRIED, being cherished, and living comfortable lives.

  • Lee lee

    Wow…a black family they do mad investigation, those other white broads in CA and NY you never heard anything about….typical

  • http://j.gibson37@yahoo.com corey

    girl we still love you

  • Spcl0ne2

    They chose NeNe because she made good TV. Poor thing probably doesn’t act quite that ghetto in real life but I bet she played it up to be in the spotlight all the time. Notice how Deshawn was quiet during the reunion show and she barely got any airtime. They put her on the end of the sofa and put Kim and NeNe front and center in hopes to create some drama. This stuff is contrived and that is the reason why real classy wealthy people would never subject themselves or their family to this mess.

    i STiLL L0VE HER….

  • No one is above this recession!

    I thought everybody pocket was feeling it right now. Some more than others I understand that, but they putting her on blast cause she was hollin on the show. Supposed to be some damn where working.

  • My fox Atlanta some haters

    The video didn’t work for me at first

  • Black Beauty

    I really liked NeNe, how sad. What you do in the dark damn sure comes out in the light, how embarrassing. This show was a joke.

  • Linda G

    All those ATL brokeass in real life posers need to be talked about. Not one husband works. They designer name drop all day long and talk about each other behind their backs. Just foolishness at it’s finest. Sheree yo husband is a broke ass so you can forget that 6 figure settlement. Ain’t gonna happen.

  • The Sane One

    No point in defending her. The whole reason they put her on to begin is to keep us looking classless. MONEY doesn’t buy class and it’s obvious she didn’t even have cake.

  • Tameka

    AWWW

  • Linda G

    That’s what happens when you sell your soul for two minutes of fame. If you dames had kept it real, this would not be happening. Believe, the others don’t “own” their cribs either. You’ll see. I’m just saying….

  • KEEP IT REAL

    Lets not be so quick to throw NENE and her fam under the bus. I mean after all it IS FOX NEWS. If this is true about Mr Leakes thats not good, but it would have not made the news if they hadn’t wronged a white woman. Its bad business dont get me wrong but 40 yrs ago white men didnt even go to jail for hanging black men and she whining about a few dollars……I doubt that NENE and her family are broke.

  • Kitty

    so, what’s the difference between these wives antics and the other’s besides they are white?

  • meon

    that is a bunch of bull crap!!! why they comin at the black people all crazy?? its been 4 season of housewives in ornage county and one in nyc,the one thats maority black women they gotta come at them with some broke Sh**. if you watch the show then u know that nene never said i’m rich and all that crap. you could clearly see that she was the least wealthy out of the women. and so the hell what if they rent its still a fabulous home and $2400 a month in rent is kinda a lot to be coming up with along with other bills. people always gotta be hating… leave them alone. it a recession for goodness sakes!all the women on the show if u wanna go there got money from a man, even lisa who was married to keith sweat and got started with doe from him. so its whatever. let her be, all up in her personal business and sh**…GOSH!!!

  • Ty

    Why is it so much attention on the black people? What about the housewives of O.C and N.Y?

  • I_Gocha!

    Leave NeNe alone! Sure she was slightly “ghetto” but she was hilarious and fun. She didn’t walk around like she had a stick up her A$s. She pretty much Made the show. I think the news and IRS could “find” something on anyone if they started digging around….not sure why NeNe and Gregg are being scrutinized so hard.

    We all know black folks get more scrutiny. And we all know every single Housewive from coast to coast is a mess. But I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, especially in times like these. We are all in the same broke ass boat. People in glass houses…..

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    I agree that they should investigate the NY and OC wives, too. If NeNe was fronting,then she IS wrong… but I’m also not cool with this cast being targeted.

  • Flawdagurl

    She never said they had money but its kinda funny that she was the one with the least money and Nene said she was the one who picked the cast for the show except for Deshawn.

  • some1better

    boy, yall are dumb…dont yall know how we get down…dont believe everything u see or hear. i bet they str8 as hell but not showing the government what all they have like most of us……dummies

  • Tisha

    I am infuriated by Fox News. Why is someone’s misfortune news in Atlanta. I think It is because they were envious of black people living lavish.

    I don’t find someone owing rent a crime and worth 6 and a half minutes of the news. What a cover up to discredit a black couple living a comfortable lifestyle. I hope things work out for them.

  • Betterdayz

    Financial difficulties are sometimes a set back that married couples go through. When you hit a rough patch this is the time to honor your marriage vows for richer or for poorer. I wish them the best.

  • Deez

    @ THE TRUTH @ 301. Well Said! I never post on here but was going to just to say the very same thing. No one ever dissects the facts behind white reality shows.

    People are mentally blind, deaf and dumb.

  • FabLyfe

    @ 6am

    I’m a chick and I agree with you 100%!

  • daughtercreole

    Pawh! NeNe don’t worry u know bravo will have a show all about NeNe soon and help her right back into society a lil

  • Hollie

    Bump those reporters. It doesn’t matter what happens in the off season. NeNe is the S***! Bravo should give NeNe and Dwight their own show! I’d watch it every week!

  • Moster C

    6am you are a stupid mf!

  • Wanjiru

    …didn’t take too long for the “main-stream media” to focus its resources and efforts on bringing one of these ATL housewives down…

    …truth be told…”mainstream America” is not comfortable with the prospect of wealthy, successful, Black people…it’s the TRUTH…get used to it…

    …I wonder how much similar time and resources was placed in researching… say…the Housewives of Orange County or of New York…

    …go figure…

    …Black America..you are going to have to get AGGRESSIVE about these kinds of targeted attacks against you…be prepared please…don’t embarass yourselves…

  • Boss Lady

    @6AM…Speaking as a black woman from the south who was properly educated, I’m jumping on your bandwagon and co-signing 100%. This show was a wreck from jump and all this scrutiny is well deserved if you ask me. I cannot stand the fact that NeNe is the one who got all the attention simply because she showed her ass. It’s disgraceful and white folks the world over are laughing their collective asses off at us because she is the one who they feel most closely represented us. Lisa was the only one who was bout her business and stayed true to herself. Sheree is just a gold digger who can speak well because she trying to eat off a divorce settlement and DeShawn was the only one with decency and class. It’s a shame that our women are riding with NeNe and then call Lisa and DeShawn boring….Why, because they didn’t keep in some negativity and drama? Because they weren’t drunk and loud and disorderly??? We are tired of our women acting a fool for all the world to see. Have some class and respect about yourselves and show the world that we can speak, think, and behave in a manner that’s respectable and becoming of our culture. I say good riddance to all of it….It’s time out for all that mess…BLACK WOMEN I WANT MORE FROM YOU!!! WE ARE QUEENS!!! WHOLE CIVILIZATIONS HAVE RESTED ON OUR ANCESTORS SHOULDERS!!! Let’s act like we are descendants of royalty….

  • John

    I’ve watched this show once and I could tell from the moment she opened her mouth that she was ghetto. She is the epitome of what I despise in women; Loud & obnoxious

  • Debs

    What type of serious news program investigates a reality show? Seems kind of tabloidish to me…….
    but what do you expect from Fox?

  • JJJ12

    everyone is acting like ppl are out to get the housewives of ATL, NOT TRUE, if you do your research you would know that there is a BUNCH of crap about the OC women on other web sites, as for the NY ladies, they were boring as hell who wants to research them. I’d rather talk to nene’s busted wig all day than watch those idiots. It has nothing to do with race. Ppl are acting like the show premiered and all of a sudden the IRS was busting down there door, that stuff takes time, nene’s husband was obviously already in hot water with them

  • Tracey K.

    JJJ12

    I don’t know what you talking about NE NE weaves are nice. I liked the tones and the cut. Her stylist did the damn thing with that hair.

    I don’t like the constant criticism when women wear weaves. Some don’t look good, but when a weave is nice I say so.

    No need to disrespect her hairstylist who did a wonderful job.

  • JJJ12

    yea i meant kim’s wig

  • R.beck

    We need to stop being the dancing monkey.

  • MRS. DALLAS

    AND WHY THE HELL IS THIS NEWS???? WITH MORE IMPORTANT &H!t GOING ON IN THE WORLD, HOW DA HELL DID THIS MAKE THE CUT??? AND FOR 6 MINS 45 SECONDS AT THAT!!!! NENE IS STILL MY GIRL

  • Tracey K.

    I don’t find it necessary calling NE NE ghetto. Why can’t she be characteized as confident, stong, opinionated, catty, mean.

    This word is being used too frequently to discredit black people and belittle them. A lot of other races use the term ghetto quite frequently to belittle black people.

    I stopped using the term ghetto because it has a sterotype attached.

  • MRS. DALLAS

    OH, NO WONDER. FAUX NEWS ARE SOME HATERS!! THEY NEVER HAVE A DAMN THING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT BROTHERS OR SISTERS. LOOK HOW THEY DID BARACK, ESPECIALLY THAT RACIST FRED FLINTSTONE LOOKING
    B!T(H SEAN HANNITY, I SWEAR THEY WILL BEAT THE HELL OUT OF A DEAD HORSE!!!! JERKS.

  • Tracey K.

    Why didn’t anyone call Kim Ghetto? That is because she is white. Stop using terms to belittle your own race. When white people start calling you ghetto in a mean spirited way you won’t find the term so endearing.

  • Tracey K.

    Fox news is trash. They are envious of black people living in excess so they want to take 6.5 minutes to bad mouth this black couple because they were living lavish. I’m sure there were some murders they coud report about.

  • Tracey K.

    If they were frontin so what I like the show. Maybe they just fell on hard times after the show. Sometimes people have financial difficulties. It’s no big news

  • MRS. DALLAS

    ALSO, THE SAME MOFO’S ON HERE CALLING NENE AND HER HUSBAND GHETTO, OR PROBABLY IN THE SAME IF NOT WORSER POSITION! HELLO, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE R_E_A_L FOLKS THAT’S GOING THRU SOME &H!T IN THIS RECESSION????? I KNOW EVERY DAMN BODY AIN’T BALLING OUT OF CONTROL, NOT NOW ANYWAYS!!!

  • Tracey K.

    Typo* millions of viewers

  • LaQuishinda Perkins

    ne ne leakes is a nigger. she belongs in bankhead which is probably where she’s from. putting straight hair on such a black woman is like putting an afro on an asian. she looks like an ape in a wig. STUPID

  • BossLady

    Why is it that the news reports keep saying that her HUSBAND is running from the IRS, her HUSBAND’S business affairs are weak, and her HUSBAND owes everybody but I keep on seeing NeNe’s name everywhere? She has always been broke…. SHE’S A HOUSEWIFE! Tell me about what the hell is going on in the breadwinners business life if you want to spill some gossip.

  • DaddyO

    She better get back on the pole!!!

  • Jasmin

    Fox News is some haters. They make it seem ridiculous that black people can have money.

  • jenn love

    GO ATL LOVE THE SHOW AND NENE I KNOW YOU WILL RETURN ON YOUR FEET. DO WHAT IT DO.

  • it’s me dammit!!

    I cosign with 6am 100% I knew that that house wasn’t there’s alot of these “reality shows” use rented houses, I still like NeNe she made that show, I think that Deshawn was the most genuine person, you could tell that she was sweet and not about alot of mess like the others, and you are right why haven’t they investigated Kim, we still don’t know how she got money except for her sugardaddy boyfriend, what’s the history of her so-called stacks???
    @Laquida or whatever STFU and sit yo ass down!!

  • Skylar

    How many times are you going to post the headline thta she’s broke. We got it the first 10 times, and I’m sure no one care then.

  • K.ola

    Have anyone came to the conclusion that maybe the housewives of NY and OC actually do have $$$….

    say what you want about Kim… big poppa was tricking copping diamonds…

    i can’t stand women like nene anyway….

  • http://annoymous@yahoo.com anonymous says the one who keeps it moving

    I love women like NeNe , at least she is truthful and i love a strong black woman.Notice how that weak azz Kim started that fake azz crying and i hate a bragging golddigger like Kim! NENE all the wayyyyy!!!!

  • Raquel26

    @6Am:

    You are speaking the truth! PREACH!

    The only ones who will be upset and want to post back negative comments are the ones who are just like her ghetto a**.

  • carly

    I found it very ironic that they want to a check on the African-American families but I don’t see one damn person checking on the housewives of Orange county. Plenty of white middle class or well to do families do this same thing. As matter fact Oprah as women like this on all the time. Listen old Money knows how to use the system as a matter fact some of them have even went bankrupt and still manage to keep their assets(that’s game). Now they wan to run and check the black folks to see if they real, I mean it too unbelivable that black people can be learning the game of capitialism. Keep going strong Atlanta Housewives .

  • ?

    I know too many people that put there hats where they can’t reach it and it seems that so did NeNE. But sooo what people exaggerate all the time…show off bring disgrace. Kim is next with her no job married man prowling self…Shere is gonna down size and Lisa man ain’t got no job too so you know hey mon Lisa is gonna get another job. Deshawn if you gonna put together a foundation call it something else than the DS foundation…ur rich why would people give u there $ esp since u got $ to even buy a red carpet with ur name on it…it for the girl then call girls empowerment or something, but you get an A for effort.

  • sassalene

    I personally believe bravo purposely selected the most obnoxious, brokest, ghetto queens for this show to make a fool of black people in atlanta and everywhere else. i will still support the show but it is insulting to try and portray Nene as an upper class black woman. We know she is or was a broke down fronter before the show started paying her.
