NeNe Facing Garnishment Over Unpaid Rent

Last year former reality TV star NeNe Leakes was sued for unpaid rent, on her shuttered Sugarloaf Mall boutique, after blaming the debt on her late husband Greg [click here if you missed that]. 

Now NeNe's landlord is trying to garnish her bank account...

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, the landlord, MPG-Sugarloaf, who was awarded the five-figure sum over alleged unpaid rent on NeNe’s now-closed Swagg Boutique, fired off a summons to Truist Bank.

The summons informed Truist of the debt NeNe, 56, owes. It instructed the bank, “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 named above beginning on the day of service of this summons and including the next five days.”

In the lawsuit, filed in August 2023, MPG-Sugarloaf claimed NeNe signed a lease in 2017. NeNe closed the store during the pandemic.

She reopened the boutique for a brief period before eventually closing it for good in 2022. The landlord said the reality star failed to pay $22k in rent after she vacated the location.

Despite the landlord claiming NeNe was served with the legal paperwork at her $1 million Atlanta condo, the reality star failed to respond to the claims in court.

As a result, in November 2023, the judge granted a default judgment. He awarded the landlord the $22k in unpaid rent — with interest — for a grand total of $25,631.
