Nene Leakes Sends Fans Into a Frenzy After Trashing Gregg’s ‘Grouchy and Evil’ Ways Following Cancer Diagnosis: ‘Practice What You Preach’

Nene Leakes has apparently had enough of her husband Gregg Leakes attitude as she continues to stand by his side while he battles colon cancer.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star fired off on Instagram Thursday, Nov. 29, remarking that her husband should practice what he preaches. Gregg had uploaded text screenshots sent from a friend who passed along a message encouraging him to let bygones be bygones and “take a few minutes to think before you act when you’re mad.”

Apparently, Nene was fed up and tore into her husband by commenting that he needs “to do everything you posted! Practice what you preach.”

“You need to pray for yourself! This mean, grouchy, evil stuff u pulling these days are NOT cool,” she added in two since-deleted comments.

Leakes didn’t leave things there, either. She also tweeted, “I would just think if I have or had cancer, I would see life so differently! Not be mean, grouchy and evil for no real reason! But that’s me. Pray for me.”

One fan tried to offer up some encouragement, but Leakes doubted she could stay strong for much longer.

Hours later, however, it appeared she had a change of heart, but the reality star still wanted fans to know things were not so easy.

Even still, commenters tore into Leakes on Instagram, telling her that she needed to be mindful of all the changes Gregg is going through.

“@neneleakes go to hell! The man is battling a sickness. U so evil trying to put additional stress on the man knowing what he is already going through. Pray that u never has to go through something like this and ur close family members do u like u doing Gregg now. So heartless dealing with the man like this on social media.”

“@neneleakes u a cool piece of work…. remember them tables can easily turn!!!!”

Leakes slammed both users, telling one “you don’t know S— bout Gregg and Nene Leakes and you have no idea what he has done! Ask him as hole.”

To another user, she replied, “Chileeee shut up! Gregg has done so much s—! It didn’t just start! While u commenting saying s— to me, ask him what has he done! Oh and by the way, Gregg isn’t bed stricken and needing daily help! You got it twisted.”

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.
