NeNe Leakes’ Son Brentt Leakes Suffers Heart Attack
Reality TV star NeNe Leakes confirmed via Instagram post that her son, Brentt Leakes, suffered a heart attack in early September 2022. NeNe shared with her 4.3 million fans via an IG story that this was not how she wanted the story to go. She said Brentt suffered from congestive heart failure and a stroke.
She added in another part of the story, “He is only 23 years old. He is too young for something like that to happen to him.”
TMZ reported that Brentt — who appeared with her mother on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” — was rushed to the hospital after suffering a medical emergency. NeNe spent several days in the hospital, but has since been released and is undergoing rehabilitation and is expected to make a full recovery, sources also told the outlet.
According to TMZ, Brentt has a long road to recovery. The mother-daughter duo has been going through a tough time over the past year following the death of Gregg Leakes, NeNe’s husband and Brentt’s father. Gregg Leakes passed away on September 1, 2021, after losing his battle with colon cancer.
In 2018, Gregg was initially diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. His family announced his cancer-free status in 2019. He had been in remission for two years before his disease returned. Gregg and NeNe had been married for about 25 years at the time of his death. Their son was born in 1999 after their first marriage in 1996. After a difficult time, the couple filed for divorce in 2011. However, they remarried in 2013.
NeNe added that Brentt is “fun” but “struggles to talk.” She chose not to reveal where Brentt is currently. She asked her followers not to send flowers, saying they’d prefer balloons.
In December 2021, on NeNe’s first birthday after her husband’s death, Brentt shared a loving tribute to her online. He joked that it was his mother’s 25th birthday and posted a few photos of him and his mother. Despite their difficult year, Brentt declared that her birthday would be “No Problem.”
Both Brentt’s father’s death and diagnosis had a significant impact on him. He encouraged his Instagram followers to spend time with loved ones because it was important, a lesson he learned from watching his father struggle with his illness. When Gregg was diagnosed, NeNe admitted that she was “a little worried” about him because, to her knowledge, he didn’t cry. She has said that Brentt was a strong and responsible child.
Brentt drug leak
Nene Leakes explained that the doctor thought Brentt Leakes was on drugs or had a serious infection because he was so young. She confirmed that her son did not drink or use drugs. Doctors then tested him for substance abuse or HIV. They believe Brentt may have had COVID and Brentt did not know it.
Brentt underwent a number of tests to narrow down what could have happened to him that caused his heart attack. The cause of his heart attack has not yet been confirmed by doctors. So, no, Brentt was not on drugs.
