NeNe Leakes Brags About Granddaughter's Lavish Lifestyle

NeNe Leakes is ‘very rich’ and her granddaughter Bri’asia Bryant will be rich too of course! Many were shocked yesterday when the Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared a photo holding up her granddaughter in a story for InTouch magazine.

“I only found out about everything because I ran into Ashley when she was more than six months along. I said, ‘You look pregnant.’ and she said, ‘Hasn’t Bryson told you?’ But he hadn’t because he knew that I wouldn’t approve of him having a child so young. I didn’t feel like he was ready for such a big responsibility. I was his age when I had him, so I know how tough it is. I didn’t want him to make the same mistakes that I did. I needed to let it sink in.”

Now that being a grandmother has sunk in the reality star has taken her responsibility of spoiling her granddaughter to heart.

“She’s just adorable. I paid for everything in the nursery… the clothing, the diapers,little dresses, sparkly headbands, and Gucci shoes. I don’t want her to feel strapped. We just love her!”

Did we really expect anything less? In keeping with her lavish gifts for Bri’asia, NeNe has gifted herself with a home in Los Angeles to accommodate her frequent traveling from Atlanta to LA to film both “Glee” and “The New Normal”.

“Slept n my LA house last nite 4 the first time & heard coyotes #scary.”

Will she be joining the Beverly Hill or Orange County houeswives?

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.
