‘This is Just a lot Right Now on Me’: Nene Leakes Reveals She Is Considering Selling Her Lounge Following Her Son’s Stroke

Last month, Nene Leakes‘ son, Brentt Leakes, tragically suffered a stroke. The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star shares the 23-year-old with her late husband, Gregg Leakes. Gregg passed away on Sept. 1, 2021, after years of battling colon cancer.

As previously reported, Leakes confirmed the news about their son on her Instagram Story after viral reports were shared online. The 54-year-old explained that Brentt “had congestive heart failure and a stroke” in a video.

She mentioned her son’s “serious” condition and his struggle to speak. She said doctors tested for COVID-19 and suspected him of drug use due to his age.

Later in the video, the “Uncle Drew” star hinted that she may not be able to maintain her club, The Linnethia Lounge. The restaurant has been open for two years outside of Atlanta in the city of Duluth. She played host to her famous friends including the likes of Trina, Waka Flocka, Migos, Tamar Braxton, Jazzy Pha, and more. Patrons come for live entertainment, tasty brunch, and industry style events. But due to her son’s condition, The Linnethia Lounge may be closing its doors sooner than later.

“We have sat and talked about selling the lounge now because it’s something that Brentt runs along with me. I got in the business with him and Gregg and some other friends to do it. And this is just a lot right now on me,” Leakes explained. “So if there’s anybody out there that’s possibly interested in the lounge, send them my way if they are interested in purchasing. It’s very possible that we will sell the lounge because it is something I shared with Brent after Gregg’s passing.”

Brentt first appeared on “RHOA” in 2008 as a 9-year-old. He continued to regularly appear on the Bravo series throughout his teenage years. In his adult years, he worked at The Linnethia Lounge.

Ahead of Brentt’s health scare, his mother was served with legal papers after failing to pay a photographer for their work. As previously reported, a company called Photography by Ace filed a suit in Gwinnett County, Georgia, in July. They claim their attempts to contact and collect from Leakes went unanswered and presented two invoices from 2021 as evidence. It’s unclear if Leakes has responded or if the case has been resolved.

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.
