NeNe Leakes Being Taxed Over Unpaid Rent And Back Taxes

She's gonna have to pay the piper.

NeNe Leakes reportedly owes thousands in rent and taxes.

The former Bravo star has been given a state tax execution by the Georgia Department of Revenue for the $28,593.24 in taxes she owes. Leakes initially owed $17,785.22 in back taxes but saw the amount jump to nearly $10K due to interest and fees.

The tax filing is linked to Leakes and her now-defunct Georgia lounge, The Linnethia, LLC. It comes weeks after the College Hill: Celebrity Edition star was sued for $25K by the landlord of her former clothing store, Swagg Boutique.

The landlord claims Leakes signed a lease in 2017 and extended it through 2021. When she vacated the premises in 2022, the property owner claimed she left owing $22K in unpaid rent.

Leakes was served paperwork on Aug. 16, 2023, while outside her $1 million condo in Atlanta. The landlord claims to have tried to get the unpaid rent from Leakes but was repeatedly ignored, hence the lawsuit. However, even after being served the lawsuit, Leakes still didn’t pay up on the debt. A judge intervened and ordered the reality television star to pay $22K in unpaid rent, $2,315 in attorney fees, and another $400 in court costs.

Leakes was also hit with a default judgment last year by Photography by Ace, a photography company reportedly hired to take photos at the Linnethia Lounge but whose invoices were ignored. The financial setbacks have occurred three years after Leakes announced her departure from “RHOA” ahead of the Season 13 premiere.

Leakes is an OG on the show, which stood out since its Season 1 inception. In the months after announcing her exit, she launched a public boycott against Bravo, accusing the network of behind-the-scenes racism. In August 2022, she dismissed her racial discrimination lawsuit against Bravo, but the messy fallout made it clear she likely won’t ever return to the show she helped put on the map.
