Real Housewife of Atlanta is possibly homeless

The housing crisis has struck another reality tv star. NeNe of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta has been evicted from her 5,000 square foot home in Deluth,GA, according to AccessAtlanta.com.

According to emails sent to AccessAltlanta, NeNe says that the eviction notice has her husband Greg’s  name on it, not hers, and although over $6,000 is owed in back rent to Winwood Properties, the couple is, “ financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”  Clearly the home, which was featured on Real Housewives, no longer fits.

She went on to say that the lease of the home was part of a deal that her husband Greg Leakes made with his company. Those who watch the show might remember Leakes’ was a real estate investor. However, the only business that the  Atlanta Journal-Constitution found listed under his name was one whose phone was disconnected.

Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Tuesday 11/11 @ 10/9c on Bravo.
