12/3: NeNe Leakes and hubby leaves pricey Duluth home
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The New York Post and various gossip Web sites in recent days have dug up paperwork showing NeNe Leakes, the breakout star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” had been evicted from her Duluth home.
Or more specifically, her husband’s name Gregory was on the eviction notice.
We confirmed Tuesday that they are no longer living in the home featured on the show from the broker Darryl Pierce. He said the Leakes left the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Ct. in Duluth in November after Winwood Properties filed the eviction notice in September. You can check out the house here and it’s for rent if for $2,995 a month..
Did she ultimately get evicted per se? She never quite says so.
The Powers That Be wanted this as a standalone story so you can access it here..
NeNe Leakes, in a series of emails Tuesday, would not say where she is now living. “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.”
She clearly was not pleased with the fact we were writing about this although it’s newsworthy given the type of show she is on. Here’s one of her responses, verbatim:
“Clearly you guys have nothing else to report about. Housewives of Atlanta has been off for two weeks! And to answer your earlier question if you don’t already know, I AM the most popular housewife in franchise history and have offers from every directions on the table as we speak! And on an even more positive note, I will be having a launching of twisted hearts foundation website in the following weeks with a huge gathering! Happy writings!!”
She’s right. She is the most popular housewife on the show. It’ll be interesting to see how she capitalizes on her fame. Bravo has to be thrilled with how big the show has become. It opened at about 650,000 viewers. The reunion show last week? 2.8 million viewers, which is a big number for Bravo. And more than 2 million of those viewers were in the coveted 18 to 49 year old demo.
We never claimed to be the first people to get this information. In fact, we were a bit late. This Web site claims to have been the first and isn’t happy that we didn’t give them credit, though we did our own independent work on it. The site does have fun with my last name.

NeNe, hold your head up we love you here in Greenville, South Carolina. Gregs company probably has been was affected by the economy, Bush really f*** up. NeNe keep being the outspoken person you are and ignore those fools that are trying to disrespect you, by saying you have given Atlanta Housewives a bad name, if it wasn’t for you everyone in my office wouldn’t watch the damn show. We all are getting excited about next season. God bless you, your girl in SC

Waiting for the vitriol from the people who really don’t like the show. This should be good.
Apparently NeNe isn’t quite as rich as she made it out to be on the show.
And even though I’m embarassed to admit it, I did watch three of the episodes. It was just too painful to continue watching.

Puh-leaze!
Color me not surprised that she’s as fake as a three dollar bill. So much for her quote that she doesn’t “have to keep up with the Joneses. I am the Joneses.”

Of course, blame Bush because her husband is not a good businessman.
They really need to evict that blonde. That girl can’t sing.

NeNe you and your family keep going on I don’t know why they focusing on you you are just human who happens to be an African American keeping it real. You already know we are not supposed to have anything so when we get it our every move is advertised. Good, give them something to talk about the way the economy is news needs a job. Maybe you will get your own show you need some money too.

Why does it have to be the one that is actually married to a legit businessman? Why couldnt it have been those other ghetto hoodrats who get evicted? The rest of them do nothing but lay on their backs and shop…typical Atlanta black women.

I didn’t think these women were a good representation of Atlanta women to began with; now this. I think real Atlanta women should sue Bravo for misrepresentation!

Verbatim:

Bravo has to be thrilled with how big the show go.
And Rodney has the audacity to put [sic] in the quotes from NeNe.
While making fun of his last name is a bit low, the sad fact is the site Rodney “stole” this info from has better writers. They did get the “hack” part right.

It is Bush’s fault that at the age of 54 her husband does not own his own home and tries to use a shell company to beat the goverment on taxes. Claassic!!! Grow up people and practice some self-responsibility. IF you don;t have $6k in the bank to cover it than you are the foll for living in a 5,000 sq ft home. She didn;t make enough from that show to afford it. Stupid people doing stupid things.

Daniel Carver, I can’t believe that you would make such an ignorant comment! You need serious help and prayer. As for NeNe, the situation is unfortunate and i’m praying for you. I truly believe that you’ll bounce back if you haven’t already. This issue is no longer uncommom and I suggest that people shouldn’t gloat about this because it can happen to you. With the way things are going in our country, you may find yourselves on the news upset because for some reason your job is being cut out or is moving overseas. For the simple idiots that think this is can only happen to minorities, you’re wrong! Grow up people. Bottom line…It’s not funny.

MrsCRod - I meant every word I said. This is just another case of a black b!tch getting what she deserves. Her 15 minutes of fame are up, now she can go back to being ghetto trash like the rest of you Obama voting losers. Wake up white people!

People like you are the reason why blacks can’t get ahead. We’re supposed to help one another if possible, instead of bashing eachother. You’re the type of person I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. GOD BLESS YOU!
