NeNe Leakes is a single woman. The Real Housewives of Atlanta announced on the season finale that she is moving forward with her divorce from Greg Leakes. Less than two weeks later her divorce is final. Now only if her friend Jennifer Williams from Basketball Wives can move as quickly. Sigh.
Moving on. The AJC.com has confirmed that NeNe filed for divorce on April 29th, 2010 and it was finalized on September 29th, 2011. During season four NeNe struggled with making a decision about the divorce despite maintaining an intimate relationship with Greg. The details of the divorce is unclear but Greg and NeNe do have one child together, teenage Brentt.
As of now NeNe doesn’t have any boyfriend prospects though we’re sure she will continue accepting lavish gifts from businessman John Kolaj – even though she reportedly receives the highest salary on Real Housewives – and can you really blame her.
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
