NeNe Leakes Pressing Charges After Being ‘Harassed and Stalked’

NeNe Leakes went live on Instagram Wednesday night and disclosed that she’s finally nabbed some information on her stalker.

“Gon’ be pressin’ charges on some people. Literally being harassed and stalked,”The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star says as she dines out with a pal Aug. 15. “Finally, my detective found information. Yes, yes.”

The outing and admission came after Leakes spent a day filming a confessional scene for season 11 of RHOA. And her golden headpiece and long, blonde lock were getting lots of love from fans.

“I like the hat. Very different. Reminds me of the 60s 70s (vintage/regal).”

“@neneleakes I think you look like a complete snack honeyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌.”

“You are so cute!!! We ain’t goin’ back and forward with these jealous b—-es!!! You are the ONLY original housewife that has any to show for your hard work! #f–kem.”

But the star has talked about having a stalker before. She said in another live stream over the weekend at Waffle House that she had someone following here there, too. She was out after a late night with her husband Gregg Leakes and their son Brent.

“You know, we keep a stalker,” she said in the clip. “It’s so sad to be a stalker with no life. But the detective clocked his number.”

NeNe also added that her number was “being tapped anyway,” and said she’d call a police officer in the morning.

“I think we got the person, I think we got him,” she added.

Not all things are so dark in Leakes’ life, though. The RHOA star has been getting praise from fans as of late for herself posing with her husband “just because” on Monday.

Several commenters were amazed by how youthful the couple looked together.

“Looking younger and younger guys!😍😍😘😘”

“Wow, you look 20 years younger in this pic beautiful.”

“How do u look soooo much younger… help a girl out Nene x.”

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.
