The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes is getting a lot of support from her former castmates following her husband Gregg's battle with cancer. During NeNe's time on the show, she didn't always get along with her castmates. She has been in feuds with RHOA wives such as Kenya Moore, Kim Zolciak-Biermann and more. Now the women are putting their differences aside to be there for their former castmate and her husband.
Those who have been watching RHOA for several years now will remember Gregg's initial cancer battle in 2018. He was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer but was in remission for more than two years. Viewers saw Gregg go through and beat his illness with NeNe by his side. However, it wasn't an easy road for them as NeNe, who revealed Gregg's cancer returned in June, often felt unappreciated by Gregg while being his caregiver. Nonetheless, the former housewife always stood by Gregg no matter how difficult the situation was for her.
Many of NeNe's former RHOA cast members have started showing their support for her following the news that Gregg is losing his battle with colon cancer (via Page Six). Kenya shared to her Instagram Story on Monday morning, shortly after the news about Gregg, sending her love to the 53-year-old's husband. "Praying for Gregg, @neneleakes and their family," adding, "Even through all our ups and downs, Gregg never treated me differently--he was always kind and respectful." Kim also took to NeNe's Instagram page, where NeNe shared a post with the word "BROKEN" written across. Kim wrote in the comments section, "Praying for you and your family. Sending you lots of love." Porsha Williams, who is engaged to Simon Guobadia, also commented, "Praying for you all during thus [sic] difficult time."
NeNe's former best friend Cynthia Bailey is also showing her support for her long-time pal. "So saddened by this news. Sending you and your family love, support and prayers," she wrote alongside two praying hands and a red heart emoji. Other past and present RHOA cast members such as Shamari DeVoe, Marlo Hampton and Phaedra Parks took to the comments section to share their love and support for the Atlanta natives. NeNe shared the heartbreaking news about her husband of more than 20 years on Sunday after she revealed her "husband is transitioning to the other side." The news was revealed in a video posted on Instagram, after a customer at NeNe's new lounge in Atlanta, The Linnethia, called her rude for not acknowledging a birthday in the audience. The mother of two said, "I’d love for everybody to pray for Gregg. That would be beautiful. Pray for his strength," she said, adding, "And pray for me too."
NeNe and Gregg have been through a lot in the past 14 years since The Real Housewives of Atlanta began to air. The pair have been divorced, remarried, went through his first cancer battle, a remission and now a second battle with cancer. While her co-stars may have had an issue with her in the past, they know how much NeNe and Gregg truly love each other. In the end, Nene's RHOA family will always be there for her.
