NeNe Leakes’ Ex-Landlord Attempts To Garnish $25K From The Former ‘RHOATL’ Star Over Unpaid Debt
NeNe Leakes' former landlord reportedly maneuvered to garnish a five-figure sum from her bank account due to unpaid debt.
'InTouch' revealed that the debt involves unpaid rent on her now-shutdown Swagg Boutique. Landlord MPG-Sugarloaf claimed Leakes signed the lease in 2017, however, closed up shop due to COVID.
Per a summons obtained by the media outlet, the bank was instructed to "immediately hold all money, including wages and other property, except what is known to be exempt, including property in safe deposit boxes or similar property that you hold, belonging to the defendant name above beginning on the day of service of this summons and including the next five days."

Leakes did reopen the business, however, that was short lived, as she closed again for the second time, for good, in 2022.
According to the landlord, the 56-year-old allegedly failed to pay $22,000 in rent following her departure from the shop, but Leakes claims it in fact wasn't her who signed the lease for the space.
"Gregg signed the lease not me! He ain't here," Leakes penned in the comment section of The Jasmine Brand's post back in 2023 — referring to her late husband, Gregg Leakes, who died at 66 following his battle with cancer.
In November 2023, a judge granted the landlord what he asked — $22K in unpaid rent in addition to interest — bringing the total to $25,631.
In addition to the former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star being ordered to cough up cash, she also recently engaged in an internet beef with her ex-friend, Porsha Williams, after she allegedly declined Leakes' offer to band together for a Netflix show.
"I was later told that Porsha did not show up and said that she did not want to work with me, that we had had issues from the past and she did not want to work with me," Leakes claimed in a social media post, per HotNewHipHop.
NeNe Leakes, born Linnethia Monique Leakes, is a TV personality and entrepreneur. She and her late husband Gregg were married on and off between 1997 and 2021. He is survived by NeNe, 56, and their sons, Bryson, 32, and Brentt, 23.
