Television Personality NeNe Leakes And Gregg Leakes Divorced In 2011 After 13 Years Of Marriage

NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg Leakes had their first encounter while NeNe was working as an exotic dancer at an Atlanta club.

Soon after the separation, Gregg demanded $300,000 that he invested in NeNe. He said:

I put $300,000 of my own money for NeNe to become a housewife. Without that she wouldn’t be s*** … she’s going to give me every dime back of my $300,000 back.

A source said: 

Gregg wants his money back and NeNe wants to make sure that she’s protected from any hidden debts that he may have run-up.

Prior to their divorce, Nene also revealed that Gregg was not supportive of her.  NeNe has a son, Bryson Rashard Bryant who was born in December 1989 from her previous relationship whereas Gregg has five children from a previous relationship.
