Gregg’s Illness is Taking a Toll on NeNe Leakes: ‘Is it Normal for Them to Be Mean’

Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes is right by her husband Gregg Leakes‘ side as he continues his fight with cancer, but she did tell fans his attitude is meaner than usual.

NeNe went public with Gregg’s diagnosis in June and has been very candid with fans about her husband’s sickness. On Saturday, the Bravo star took to Twitter and asked social media if it was “normal” for her husband’s emotions to be haywire.

“When people are sick, is it normal for them to be mean,” she tweeted. “They talk mean to the person that’s helping? So stressful.”

Fans instantly replied to NeNe and noted that “lottssss of emotions fluctuate for those who have major illnesses.”

One person retweeted, “Girl, yes. Chronic pain, depression, no sleep, guilt from feeling like they’ve brought hardships upon those they love, feeling less than they once were either physically/mentally, feeling physically stuck/immobile…list goes on. As they physically improve, so will their behavior.”

Another fan wrote, “Yesssssss, unfortunately 😪 it’s the disease, their bodies feel different, the drugs they’re taking, their lives have completely changed forever, etc. I had both parents suffer with cancer. It was extremely hard and very sad. So sorry you’re going through this. Take deep breaths!”

“It is & please be sure to take a break if you need to.”

“Yes! They may not be aware of how mean they are being. Hang in there! Let him be 💙.”

“Yes. They are hurting and frustrated and they always lash out on the person that’s closer to them. Be encouraged @NeNeLeakes God gives the toughest battles to his strongest soldiers,” another person commented.

NeNe admitted that Gregg’s battle with cancer has been tough. During an interview with Bossip on Oct. 4, she revealed that her husband’s diagnosis has had a major impact on their daily lives.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
