Gregg Leakes Acting as a Bouncer for Wife Nene Leakes’ New Boutique Has Fans Doubled Over With Laughter

The grand opening of the third location of Nene Leakes boutique was held this weekend near Washington, D.C. As happy as fans were for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, they also couldn’t help but crack up at Gregg Leakes sitting next to the entrance.

Nene cut the ribbon on Swagg Boutique at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Saturday, May 18. The opening of the shop reportedly makes her the first Black woman to own a store in the hotel.

Thrilled about the newest Swagg shop, Nene shared a video of the store, giving fans a glimpse of what they can see when they come by.

But one thing that won’t always be there is Gregg, whose wife pointed out that he was right by the door as if he were a bouncer.

“Take a sneak peek inside of the brand new Swagg Boutique at MGM @mgmnationalharbor While Gregg sits at the door like security 🤣 i can’t!” Nene captioned the footage. “I design, decorated and picked everything inside! It’s absolutely beautiful! Thank you to everyone that stood in line patiently to shop with us! We love youuuuuuuu🗣 #swagg3 (i took this video so forgive me, i am not the best at this).”

Several fans raved about the look of the shop, which follows the 2017 opening of Swagg Boutique in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth and a Miami location opening its doors to patrons last summer.

“Yesssssss !!!! I can’t wait to come and shop!!!”

“Congratulations! U go girl!”

“oh the CLASS of it all 💅🏾”

But others couldn’t help but remark at Gregg, who recently disclosed he is cancer-free. The on-the-mend “RHOA” star had fans cracking up at his post by the door.

“Omg…Greg is killing me….Topnotch security🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your store is lovely @neneleakes as your are! Priceless enrichment!💪🏾💯❤”

“It’s beautiful. I am cracking up at Greg!!!! Top Flight Security of the World Greg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”

“✍🏽😂😅✍🏽That’s right @greggleakes 🗣Security👮🏾‍♂️🤣🤭”

“Lmaooo at Gregg being security CONGRATS BOO!!”

Gregg being spotted alongside his wife at Saturday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony marks the first time in a while that the husband and wife have been seen together. Nene partied it up earlier this month at the Kentucky Derby and more than a week ago she received an honor from the Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studies in recognition of her looking after Gregg amid his cancer battle. During both events, fans observed that Gregg was markedly absent.

Still independent.

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.
