Nene Leakes posted this picture from the hospital yesterday. She’s been sick for a few days and went to get some IV hydration. Her hashtag was #luckytobealive ! Nene has been working on her clothing line and making appearances on shows like The Chew this month. She is probably just worn out. Get well soon, Nene!
Nene held a very successful model search for her clothing line at Bar One earlier this week.
UPDATE ON NENE’S CONDITION AFTER THE PAGE BREAK!
From Nene’s Blog:
First and foremost, I so dearly love and appreciate each and every one of you for your concern and your prayers.
Late last week I wasn’t feeling well and was feeling a little short of breath. I know my body and I know when I should be concerned so I went to the hospital to get checked out.
After some routine tests I was diagnosed with blood clots in my lung. I’m told this happened to me because of the constant traveling around the country that I do for my job.
I’m thankful to be alive as the doctor advised me that most people don’t recognize the symptoms of blood clots and don’t go to the doctor and that’s when the big problems start happening.
Contrary to published reports I did not have a heart attack.
I am fortunate to have had a wonderful experience with the doctors and nurses who took care of me.
I’m blessed to be home with my wonderful Husband and family! Look who crawled in the hospital bed with me….(It was her glambaby in the hospital bed)

My question is who wrote that post. It sure wasn’t Nene.
I read that it was blood clots in her lungs …. good catch by the doctors. I don’t like to see anyone in the hospital…hope she gets well soon.
The weather has been crazy lately. One day it is hot, the next day it cold, raining off and on, etc. I hope Nene gets the rest she needs and makes a speedy recovery!
Nene is sick to know that her 15 minutes of fame is about up and she is not the big Hollywood star she thought she was. She probably also sick from spending all that money on a wedding! Who would buy clothes from Nene has no style only second to Kandi.
Nene was so last year.
My mother always said that if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing at all. You wouldn’t want no one to speak ill of you if you was in the hospital.
Blood clots in the lungs is the same thing that killed rapper Heavy D. He was only 44.
I loved him.. That was so sad
It really was so sad. He was such a good guy.
Sw. You sound so stupid. azz hole
Whatever Nene lover!
My mother always said it takes an azzhole to know an azzhole. Yep, that’s what my mama always said 😉
Giggle
Wait…
I know a LOT of assholes. ;-(
LOL! I don’t even know how to respond to that without giving myself away!
When celebs enter the hospital, it’s always for exhaustion. For the rest of us it’s called rehab.
I think she went to have her HUGE ego surgically removed from her AZZ.
Clothing line??? Wait why??
I think it’s going to be a plus sized line. I could see Nene doing well with that. Well except for all the one shoulder crap. I think she could probably create some nice pieces. Girls with big boobs rather real or fake have a helluva time finding dresses for example.
I think she might do ok in the plus size market also, she’s very lucky cause she’s tall and big, she must remember us short girls
As do we girls with big azzes
Can you prevent blood clots from coming back or is it something you just have to watch for?
How do you even get them? I am afraid I don’t know much about this. Anyone?
It’s caused to the best of my understanding, most often by being sedentary for long periods. Like long flights. That can cause blood clots in her legs. Those clots can break off and go to the heart or lungs. My mother would refer to this as “throwing a clot”. She had blood clots often. Which scares the piss out of me.
Yes TT, and you can throw a clot and have it go to your brain causin stroke! Please stay active and try to eat right!!! Esp. since it is inherited.
Blood clots can also be caused by a hereditary disease called Factor Five Leiden, I have it. Tamara, if your Mom had clots, you should get tested because the gene is often passed down through your Mother.
Tomas Vokoun, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ goalie, is currently out with bloodclots, this is the second time in his career that it has happened to him, and it is definitely not due to a sedentary lifestyle or lack of knowing how to care for himself. It’s called pelvic thrombophlebitis, it is a rare blood condition that created a multitude of blood clots………whatever caused hers, hope Nene is okay
The doctor will probably put her on warfarin or plavix to desolve the cloths. She has to get checked every week, then once a month. After that her doctor will go from there. She may have to stay on warfarin the rest of her life. It all depends. It’s called a Pulmonary Embolism.
interesting Nene did not want to be photographed without her make up or weave.
I don’t think weave is the right word.
It’s like a swimming cap that snuggles the top of her head with hair that cascades & swoops down over her face. You can see her real hair on the lower back of head and nape of her neck….I always find it odd that she calls Kim Z “wiggggg”.
Wow UF. Can we give her a break at least until she gets well.
She has her nerve!!!
“Interesting Nene did not want to be photographed without her make up or weave.”
WHO DOES?!?!?
Poor Nene. Glad she went to the Doc in time. If you aren’t healthy nuthin else matters!
I’ve noticed nene is now doing all the things she’s hated on her cast mates for doing since day one. Clothing lines…..blonde wigs….wedding spin offs…. Last week she was “caught” nonchalantly singing on the couch. I’m sure she wants to sing now also. Long story short, nene was always so mean because she was so jealous! I don’t support that kind of person.
Not sure, but I suspect Nene can actually sing.
She can. She has a gospel-churchy kind of voice. I heard her on an interview once on XM radio. I forgot what show, but it was during the Tardy for the Party mess. Anyone else hear it?
Yes, she sang that song about Kim in the first season of RHOA.
Something is wrong with your ears. Kim can’t sing and she didn’t want nene on the record. It’s no instrument in the world that could clean up those two voices together and make them sound good.
Nene has been singing since season 1. Nene supported Sheree and Lisa on their fashion lines. Sheree did not follow through. If you don’t like her, you just don’t like her.
Oh wow, I had blood clots in my lungs this past February and ended up in the hospital for two weeks! Luckily she must have gotten to a dr. Early…I waited until I could barely breathe…blood clots are no joke. I had to take blood thinners for several months with weekly doctor visits for monitoring. While I understand most of the obnoxious comments about her illness were made before we knew it wasn’t just a publicity stunt, I still want to send out a big FUCK YOU to the folks that made them.
Sorry to hear about what happened to you. Did the doctors give you any ideas on how this could be prevented in the future?
I like Nene. I want to her to make a complete and speedy recovery. She should take her health seriously . She ought to take a “rest and recoup” break for a few months. Get well soon Nene.
Well, you do in fact get blood clots from air travel. That sounded crazy when I read it so I checked.
Forgive my doubts. It’s just that hearing Cynthia blame her belly fat on fibroids, and all of the other horse shit she piled on, made me skeptical. Does anyone know what “treatment” she had for the fibroids? It certainly was not a hysterectomy. Which is really the only cure. Other treatments just eliminate them for awhile, but they come back.
I can’t believe you did not know that! You need to get some compression socks to wear on your long flights. When I came back from Curacao, which was like a 3 hour flight, long layover and less than two to get home last time my legs and feet swelled up like a pregnant women. It was scary. I tend to sleep on long flights as I can sleep anywhere, any time. But you really should stand up and walk the aisles as much as you travel.
My feet swell. But only on international flights. I can get my shoes back on. I am always back and forth to the bathroom a lot. I never sleep. I do need to get the socks I guess. I just landed this afternoon and I’m grounding myself until after the holidays. Maybe I’ll get stockings in my stocking.
lol. You are supposed to get up and pace the plane frequently. Imagine if everyone actually did that?
teecee, Cynthia had uterine fibroid embolization. The surgeon injects a substance into the uterine arteries specifically to block blood flow to the fibroids, essentially starving the fibroid. It seems to be a pretty effective procedure.
It’s not. They come back.
Every month they grow with each period. The best way to get rid of them is a hysterectomy which I had to have at 38 years of age.
It only made sex better and you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant.
I spent the first part of this week in the hospital thanks to my after surgery meds making me extremely ill (2 weeks after hip surg) so I feel for her. Thankfully mine wasn’t due to blood clots and that she caught it early. That’s dangerous.
Hope you are feeling better, Karma!
Thank you. In all my sickness I got to experience atevan in the ER Monday night. Yay? LOL I hope you’re feeling better as well.
Today is a good day. Oh the randomness of it all. I am going to enjoy it and be productive until the next bout of cray! 🙂
