NeNe Leakes Shares Health Update About Son Brentt Leakes
According to US Magazine, Leakes appeared as a guest on the ‘Humble Brag’ podcast. Furthermore, during her time on the show, Leakes explained that she was asked to appear on the show ‘Traitors.’ However, she couldn’t appear on the show because her son, Brentt, has been in the hospital since May.
“I’m so glad I said no. I kept thinking maybe Brentt would be much better [by June]. My fear was committing and then having to go back to them and say, ‘I can’t do it,’” she explained. “So that was never going to work. Brentt was very sick. It was no way I could have committed to it. And I believe you have to go out of the country [to film the series].”
Furthermore, NeNe seemingly explained that although Brentt is still in the hospital, he has made progress with his recovery. She explained that if he had been “in the place that he’s in today,” she would’ve gone to Scotland.
“We can FaceTime. He’s talking. He wasn’t walking at the time. Now he’s walking, he’s talking,” she added.
In addition, NeNe explained that Brentt went to the hospital because his body rejected his new heart.

Listen to your and take care of body through diet and exercise. It’s never too late, even for Brentt. Health is wealth 🙏🏿”
