Yesterday news broke that Nene Leakes eldest son, Bryson Rashard Bryant, spent 90 days in jail and six weeks in rehab at the end of 2014. I have some sort of alien in my belly punching me from my insides in my belly and just could not be bothered to make sense of all of the varied stories on what happened. Today, I finally read the court documents.
First, let’s review the timeline of KNOWN arrests of Bryson Rashard Bryant
March 2010 booked on a pot charge. Arrest 3 days later for failure to appear. (Age 20)
July 2011 shoplifting razors from Wal*Mart and probation violation. (Age 21)
June 2012 arrested for driving on a suspended license. (Age 22)
July 2012 arrested for probation violation.
June 2013 involved in an accident where he flipped his vehicle at 4 am. Was given a Breathalyzer and blew a .048 which is well below the legal limit of .08 yet the officers felt he appeared to be impaired by something. According to the police reports published by ROL, Bryant took out two utility poles that were snapped in half. I presumed they were phone poles, but they were metal power line poles! Bryant said her wrecked because of the darkness.
The officer did not give the Breathalyzer until he was in the ER. The officer informed him at the hospital that he was being arrested for DUI-Less Safe, Reckless Driving, Failure to Maintain a Lane, Duty to Report Striking a Fixed Object, and Too Fast For Conditions.
The Dodge Charger was registered to Gregg. It was totaled.
July 15, 2013 was changed to September, 2013, then December 14, 2013. Bryant took a plea and was sentenced to one year probation. That must have cost someone a bundle.
May 13, 2013 Probation was revoked. Bryant did not comply with terms of the plea deal including checking in with his PO as required, failure to pay any of the fines and court fees (around$1,200), did not go to DUI school, and oh yeah tested positive for cocaine and blew off a bunch of other drug tests.
February 2014 Apparently an attorney was hired and he was given ANOTHER chance to comply with conditions of probation. He was given 30 days of house arrest. But he didn’t comply with the terms then either.
August 2014 arrested once again for probation violation. Three counts of failure to appear released on $2, 600 bond.
September 4 2014 began 90 jail term with a November 25, 1013 release date. (Fun fact, it looks like he could have paid a fine instead of doing the time, but didn’t have the money.) He was allowed Thanksgiving it seems and required to surrender on November 30, 2014 to a rehab facility near Athens, GA for no less than six weeks.
Entered rehab in late November, went to rehab for six weeks. He went to Penfield Christian Rehab in Union City. There website expired in January. Out of rehab late December 2014. Just in time to go to NYC to ring in the New Year with his mommy.
Nene where the fuck were you when you own son needed a Reality Check? Out cashing your Donald Trump check?
No, she was swing from poles and pulling heists, got caught 7 times.
LOL dont forget that’s she’s so happy to do. LMAO
Well, he is clearly an adult now. However, he learned not owning up to shit he do wrong, from his moose of a mother. LOL
I think her hair is glued to her forehead. LOL I really do.
I’m sorry and I know children are off limits (but this is a grown man). HE IS SO DAMNED UGLY! Funny thing is he looks just like NeNe. Ugh
Fuck off and die, cuntress.
You made me spit my drink teecee
Slightly off topic, but her other son Brentt (with the redundant ‘t’) looks exactly like NeNe before plastic surgery.
The nut don’t fall far from the tree. . .
Let him sit in jail. He is a grown man. The reason he keeps getting into trouble is because he knows mommy is his safety net. That’s the problem. Sink or swim. The only person he is hurting is himself. He is the one who keeps making bad choices, not anyone else. By the time he learns his lesson, it will sadly be too late.
Alicia, you clearly did not read the post.

God, I hate Jo Jo with the Bow Bow. You know they must tell the kid to be that obnoxious. I believe it comes naturally for the mom.
Have known a few young adults that have attended Penfield, court ordered and voluntary ( to look good before they went to court) and it didn’t seem to do the job.
Nene but be really proud of her parenting skills or lack thereof. Maybe while she was rubbing on a pole and taking of her clothes, she should have been at home trying to instill some values in her kid.
She’s one to have been giving Cynthia parenting advice…ludicrous!
Just a misunderstood young lad……….
Evidently, Bryson doesn’t have much respect for the law. It’s sad really. I hope he’s able to get a grasp, but I am of the opinion that all the rehab in the world won’t help him, until he is ready, mentally and emotionally, to receive that help. He’s quite fortunate that he hasn’t really hurt himself or someone else, and even though he is a punk, I hope he sees the light before something REALLY bad happens and there is no going back.
Ironically, Nene critiqued Cynthia’s parenting skills relentlessly. This also explains why she hasn’t flaunted her GlamBaby this season. She didn’t want to bring attention to her son’s situation. SMH
Speaking of the glambaby. She never mentions the son Bryson allegedly has that is younger than the girl. Apparently there are two people in the world that are really hard up for dick. Like REALLY hard up.

Lmao. People at the gym can’t understand why I’m laughing to myself. I can only imagine his “pick up lines”
Unfortunate that he Wasn’t up and hard. Could have saved the hard up dick needing idiots.
Probably some ignorant girls thinking they are on the come up because his mama is a “rich bitch.” Smdh.
I believe that he is the father of a young daughter. For her sake I wish that he had a profession/ some training to get on the right path, earn his own $$
Doesn’t he have two children now?
He has THREE now but NENE only mentions her “glambaby”, the first child! Her son is a loser and uneducated, unemployed so since NENE is so “rich” I hope that she at least contributes to these unfortunate children financially. Since she failed miserably as a mother, I wouldn’t want her as a “grandmother”!!
Yet more evidence that Nene needs to STFU about other people’s parenting.
Doesn’t this guy have two babies he is supposed to be raising? Pathetic. Take care of your damn kids!
Doesn’t he also have a little girl? NeNe must be so proud!!
You don’t win when you play dirty!
These fucking entitled losers who think they don’t have to comply with the punishment the court gives you for being a social menace. Looks to me like someone was never taught accountability or consequences for their actions. I hope Nene is doing a better job with the younger son though sadly I doubt it.
That’s why probably why she keeps the younger one on the choke chain, dragging him all around the country with her. Doesn’t look too good for him either. He’ll soon tire of that bullshit and he’s as big as nene.
The one that is being “home-schooled” while apprenticing in handbag carrying?

Lololol. He’s an apprenticing to learn how to take over Gregg’s role in the family business.
What maternal chord fails to resonate within that savage breast. Regardless of your childs age you, as a parent, should always take a front and center position in their life.
I agree TD. I hope she slams him into rehab again and again until he gets it right or . . . she could lose him forever.
Now, we know why Nene is so miserable. Lisa Vanderpump explained it in one simple sentence, “We are as happy as our saddest child”!
Kinda explains my feeling.
“We are as happy as our saddest child.” Cyndy, thanks for sharing this from Lisa Vanderpump. I must keep this profound quote.
That is, I believe, an old Yiddish saying..I’ve heard it many times when I was much younger and my Yiddish speaking grandparents and parent were still around. Lisa has some good catch phrases but this one is not an LVP original.
,I love yiddish sayings, schlemiel, schlimazel…… Etc.
Sorry for going OT. I moved and was Wifi deprived for days, now reconnected and ecstatic. Back online with Tamara Tattles’ reading rainbow.
I didn’t realize quite how distressing it could be without a connection. I really missed the posts and all commenters; good, bad and ugly, snarky, those with a sense of humor and those without.
This comment is bordering on embarrassing but I will post regardless . Today I have no shame.
I’m just glad you’re back. Um Mazel and shit.

Lisa didn’t claim it was hers; in fact she said “How does that saying go? Parents are only as happy as their saddest child.”
@Deco~ Yep, a Yiddish saying.The way that my family has always said it is, “A mother is only as happy as her saddest child.” 🙂
Jrleaguer . That’s the way I always heard it and have said once or twice to daughters. I believe it to be true. I hate it when one of my daughters is sad or troubled. They re grown, 30 k 32 but they’re till my kids, we’re close and I love them so much. It hurt to see them sad. Fortunately it’s rare.
Well that is a depressing/insightful quote.
Or a happy quote! If your saddest kid is feeling pretty good..!
Ding Ding, BH Wannabe. You got it right! That’s how to look at it.
The fact that Nene called out (and made cry) Cynthia and her parenting skills just goes to prove that Nene needs to take a long hard look at herself in the mirror. She is constantly putting down people for things she herself are guilty of. Being thirsty is the funniest thing…HER parenting skills the saddest thing. Why doesn’t she see this herself? She has yet to realize how ridiculous she looks. Wake up Nene. You are making one huge fool of yourself.
Nene can’t see it because narcissists are like vampires — unable to see themselves in a mirror all while projecting their own faults onto others. Whenever I hear Nene accuse anyone else of wrongdoing I take it as fact that she is the one guilty.
Well stated.
Nene’s projection of guilt is a psychological theory called psychological projection. Here is a book (wiki) definition in which “humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.” We all know Nene is textbook.
Nene accuses others because she craves perfection and wants to look flawless and righteous. Nobody wants to be defeated. And she will never take the blame for anything (ruins that image). And there is no one who will ever be able to penetrate those veneers, huh I mean that veneer. Can you imagine what this little bit of fame and smell of money has done to magnify this. Lord God. We’re watching it play out before our eyes. I’m trying to imagine what she’ll be like when it is all gone.
We’re not Nenetards at this board. We don’t need cut and pastes from Wikipedia to explain simple terms.

I’m certain we don’t. We all are saying the same things about Nene. My point was she’s text book. Hopefully, I didn’t offend any of the fine minds here on this board.
Looks like someone is working on (if not already succeeded in) an addiction problem. Doesn’t like drug tests or authority. Classic signs. Pity he’s decided to go this route.
Good for NeNe in recognizing that her son needed professional help and kudos to him for completing his program. People should really give NeNe a break since Bryce is GROWN and more than capable of making his own decisions. He’s past hand holding age. There are plenty of working mothers who aren’t with their children all day everyday. He’s been raised already. All she can do is support him and talk to him about getting his life together. He’s still young and he has time. Everyone won’t mature at the same rate. So, let these people be. Goodness gracious!
Nene had nothing to do with his court appointed rehab.
are you mental?
Yepanotherone…… Another Stan. Delusional much? Read the post.
Yepanotherone, it would be such a shame if Brybry were all coked up and driving like a fool and killed a member of your family. Leave them alone indeed. She has the maternal instincts of an alley cat. She fucked him up and then shoved him off. If he had some freak God given ability and had become a sports or music star, she would be right up his ass. If you are raised well, you usually don’t break laws like that or have three babies with three women with whom you have no relationship. It happens. But not nearly as often as it does when the mother is also a criminal and a no good selfish hunk of shit.
What. The. Fuck? Seriously? Yepanotherone CLEARLY stands for Yep, another account set up by Gregg Leakes to defend a woman/finger-waved-sasquatch who was too busy wrapping her crack around a pole (and admittedly liked it) to raise her child. I blame her for his upbringing, just like I blame her for his face…neither benefits society.
Who is paying for his lawyers? I admit I’m making the assumption that he doesn’t work (stealing razors from Wal-Mart was a clue).
Its sad. And so is all the vicious gloating that’s going on here.
I see no vicious gloating. I’m seeing real comments on a Pathetic situation. The young ManBoy deserves all he criticism he receives. And more.
Me either. Who’s gloating. There’s a time a place for that.
The hypocrisy and fucked-up psychotic chutzpah of Linnethia Johnson never fails to nauseate those who know even a portion of the truth about her. Reality is too hard to handle for her, she doesn’t have even the least of a grip on it.
Nobody lives happily ever after. Damn it get off you ass and do something, anything… don’t you give a rat’s ass ?
NeNe should be locked up also – for murdering the English language.
laughing out loud at ericzku
That is hilarious!
He’s a grown man and should be held accountable for his actions. It’s not a secret he’s been in trouble with the law on several occasions, finally the judge required rehab. I understand your total disdain for LeNethia, but to dance and celebrate her son’s misfortunes…WOW JUST WOW. Look in the mirror because you are as nasty and rude as the “reality persona” that is LeNethia Leaked. #Thethirstisreal #byegirl
Misfortunes? Wake the fuck up – how many chances can you possibly give one man? These are not MISFORTUNES – these are asshole CHOICES.
One of my best friends from high school, at the age of 20 or 21, stole about $100 worth of assorted cosmetics from Whole Foods. Her bail was set at $20,000 – yes, thats right, $20,000, NOT under $2,000 – because of a tacked on conspiracy charge (they had seen her in the store before, usually shopping with her parents). She stole some shit, yeah, thats bad. But he could have KILLED people. EASILY. She spent exactly 30 days in jail, and to this day the experience has continued to haunt her both personally and professionally.
Where was all this mercy for a first time offender? Where was her second, third, fourth, or fifth chance? I cannot comprehend having SO many chances and pissing on every single one of them. I never want to hear about inequities in southern court systems again, but calling this a “misfortune” takes the damn cake.
Is it me? Or is Team Nene not handling the news well. Why are we being blamed for pointing out her piss poor parenting?

First of all…nobody is celebrating her son’s….ummmm’ did you call them misfortunes ??? Funny I always looked at misfortunes as happenings one has no control over. This guy brought ALL of this on himself. Maybe it would be more appropriate to call them bad choices. And seeing how Nene herself has a criminal record I think it’s safe to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
My post was in reply to “puleeze”…Have no idea why it posted way down here.
Just think of all the times he did the same stuff that got him arrested but didn’t get caught…Scary! He should be locked up, no more chances please!
Hashtags are for Twitter and Instagram
Misfortunes?! He committed crimes and hasn’t learned and could have really endangered someone. Repeat offenses does not a misfortune make.
Seems to me with all the money Nene claims to have she could persuade her son to get into a longer term drug and alcohol program. Maybe that could help get him on the right track. If she maybe promised to give him a little help on the way of 6 months paid expenses only if he attended college or a trade school then he could help himself. Not a hand out but a hand up to help motivate him to do the right thing for himself and his kids. If he’s not willing to do anything to help himself I would let him learn the hard way as difficult as it may be for a mom.
There are several “Grade A-D” celebrity children with drug, alcohol, legal problems, let’s set aside LeNethia because she’s what, not a cookie cut out of what a “reality personality” should be? #glasshouses #comesaroundgoesaround #watchyourmouth #youcangetittoo
Her son was a fuckup since season one.
This isn’t the stereotypical case of “privileged children growing up in the spotline/fast lane having issues adapting to the real word”
Nene’s shoplifting mug shots were much more flattering than Bryson’s. She could have a least taught him how to take a mug shot.

He looks like Nene’s twin. I doubt any jailbirds will be hitting on him.. Even they have standards
Shame on him for not shaping up for the sake of his child.
He looks nothing like nene at all . He looks like the father she found first season .
Sadly, because of the choices made by nene leaks regarding the younger sons education, or lack there of, I don’t see the younger son having any more opportunities then does son number one. Unless of course we see the state bending over backwards giving Bryson the chance, time after time after time to get his act together, as an opportunity to a better life (which of course, it is).
Some people shouldn’t have children. nene leaks by all indications, is one of them
Wait a minute there. nene is ALWAYS responding to everything by saying she’s a MOM! Almost like she took it seriously while she was up there on that pole.
Ne Ne, thought long and hard before answering here on this matter…surely, the first thing that came to mind was you making Cynthia cry back in Savannah on her parenting style. And y’all were friends for four years, surely she KNOWS your true lifestyle, regarding your kids, yet she refrained from judging you ON AIR about that–like you did her. Now I think Cynthia’s tears were more about THAT [excercising restraint & compassion] vs being ashamed about allowing her teenaged daughter to go out on a “supervised” date. It was the hypocrisy in THAT judgment, Ne Ne, that broke Cynthia’s heart. Gosh, I don’t know how she made it through 4 whole years with you?
I know the hallmark note is “Love should be Unconditional,” I always saw that as bullsh*t! There’s conditions on EVERYTHING, if one is sane. The main condition is “respect,” for us to be in tandem on anything, in harmony, uh yeah, respect is paramount! Cynthia…a truly patient soul. ‘Cause after about 4 weeks of a friendship with Ne Ne outside of taping for RHOA, I’d know, uh-uh, this ain’t for me!
Ne Ne, we thought about what Sheree said to you during that reunion when she brought up the ‘your child stealing from Wal-Mart’ reports. We always think it’s bad form to bring up someone’s offspring during an argument. It’s a sign of desperation, like you’ve ran out of things to say, things independent of those that don’t have anything to do with the matter. It’s also ugly, keep people’s families out of it! And you shouted that to Sheree. And her comeback was in part “…isn’t a child a product of his parents?” Paraphrased. And your reply to that was using Lindsey Lohan as an example, all she went through, yet you don’t fault her parents [a semi-lie. Season 1 or was it 2, when Sheree & you were outside that restaurant and Sheree pulled Kim’s wig. Kim made her way away from y’all to soon seek comfort in Lohan’s father’s arms…didn’t you scold him before for bad parenting?], or some variation like that. Then you went on to cite how a parent can do the very best they can do and society will STILL have an influence on them. This is true. Thought that was some very good insight there. But Ne Ne if you didn’t spend the majority of your camera time putting others down, we’d give you a pass on a lot. The way you’ve treated Cynthia, her family…it’s just inexcusable. And Cynthia is such a classact she’d still Never openly judge you on your parenting prowess. You can learn from her.
We think your main focus, even pre-RHOA was to become a star. Becoming a public-personality trumped giving your son the attention he so very much needed. And this is the results. He’s crying out for attention. It could be subconscous, where he’s not aware that he is, but he is. He may be embarrassed by your antics on TV. Ask him? Do his friends clown him, rib on him, over you, your hair, your speech? We don’t know what he has to endure. Ne Ne, if you don’t wanna mature, reach your higher self for self, do it for your seeds.
Bryson & Brentt, wishing you nothing but the best. If Kandi has cried on WWHL over Mama Joyce being Twitter attacked, we could only imagine what you two went/go through on social media, out socializing with friends…no words. Be well. <3
Pardon typos.

@tt I’m sorry I can not . I started but became discouraged , it’s too long.
I read it and it was actually pretty good.
I agree and nene could start by not being a liar or hypocrite. You know, accountability.
She bought him a brand new truck and sent him to college. He quickly totaled the truck and quit college. He doesn’t appear to have any skills except hanging around clubs with a long ago professed desire to own one some day. That was before he fathered two children. Hanging around in the club will give you an education, but it probably won’t be a productive one and it ain’t gonna’ feed your children. He doesn’t appear to be the brightest bulb.
He is choosing to go to the “school of hard knocks”. I am positive that he knows more than his Mother, Step-father, Police, Attorney, Judge, Probation Officers, and Councillors! He is how old now? Around 24-25 now? Still young enough to think he knows everthing or at least enough to con people. I hope he is not being financially supported until he cleans up.
He was out driving a car registered to Gregg… Until he totaled it.
His crimes are bad, and too many to be regarded as youthful mistakes, but even worse is his blowing off his probation obligations after getting off easy. I’m confused about why he would do this. Does he have no regard for the law and his family? Or is he just dumber than a box of rocks?
Wasn’t he on the shoe THIS SEASON where Nene was at the PoPo paying off all his tickets? How many times has his license been suspended? Like Joe Giudice levels? And he just turned 25 last month!

Yes, I believe so, many tickets, either this season or last. Plus Nene bought him at least one car after he totaled one. I’m just trying to figure out if he’s thumbing his nose at authority or has no clue what he’s doing.
He’s obviously in self-destruct mode, which could be for any number of valid reasons, many of which stem from his background with, errr, that bitch. However, I’m sure he must be depressed considering how badly she is spoken of. I probably shouldn’t have called her bitch just then. Imagine what people say to him. He’s not getting what he really needs, and he very well may be headed to Apolloville. The writing is on the wall.
Why is her parenting being questioned? none of you have any clue as to how she has raised her kids prior to her being on RHOA, my mother raised 6 kids by herself after our dad passed away and she tried her hardest to keep us out of trouble growing up but guess what we grew up and moved out and stopped listening to our mother, some of my siblings have been arrested, some lost the rights to their kids, I myself have made stupid financial decisions and there was NOTHING our mom could do because we were grown and we had no other choice but to learn the hard way, Bryson is no different and he is clearly learning the hard way that his actions have consequences, so what is Nene suppose to do? lock him away?
Tamara you’re clearly not a parent because if you were a parent you would fully understand just how hard it is to raise a child especially in todays society all of these negative influences that are systematically destroying this generation and these new age parents have lost complete control of their kids. I hope you don’t have kids because you will see how difficult it really is, think about that before you pass judgments from your holier than thou throne.
BPrice, I am not sure if you are being sarcastic. But if true I hope your mother was busy working and trying to set a good example. …Nene…well should probably not have had children if this is the best she could do…..
oh and if he does really have two children that would make Nene a grandmother……………….

You can be strict all you want but when they turn 18 you no longer have a say in what they do with their lives because they are officially GROWN.

It is really hard raising children these days and when they are grown we cannot predict what they will do or have any control over what they do. I am sure her being arrested 7 times, being a stripper, being in an abusive relationship while Bryson was growing up are all contributing factors to his problems. The whole thing is very sad and I am no fan of NeNe. I couldn’t think of one good thing to say about her but still wouldn’t wish this on her.
Raising children is hard. That’s why a whole lot of people should be sterilized rather than being allowed to freely reproduce so that those of us with proper parenting don’t have to pay for their incarcerations, rehabs, milk, cheese, weed, dollar store weaves…..

Hey B, i am a parent and did not realize until I popped one out how absolutely hard it is everyday to make the best choices, it takes a lot of “selflessness” which nene does not possess. Self centered people should not have nor raise children.
Bprice sounds like a parent who can’t control his or her kids .
My people say you have to bend the tree when it young . Structure and discipline starts when you bring that child home from the hospital . One can’t wait until the kids are old and set in their ways to try to set parameters. Ones position can’t be do as I say not as I do . You can’t condition your child not to obey and then when the disobedience affects their school life and then real life , try to fix it . Parents need to realize that they’re not their kids friends .That job entails loving them , and molding their lives so that they dont grow up and terrorize the rest of us .
So according to your argument those people with great parenting should be the only ones given the opportunity to parent. If we have grown up in a dysfunctional home we don’t have the ability to parent and shouldn’t be given the opportunity we are already diabled. Just so you know, I grew up in a household I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I married early and divorced early with two children to take care of. Had not much help and yet was able to raise two children that are now taking care of themselves and their own children, none of which was shown to me as a child.
Ok. Give up. Guess I won’t hear from you on my last post.
We’ve watched her shitty parenting for the past five years. She doesn’t even have the younger one in school. Bryant flunked out of school. She was turning tricks in the strip club. She has ZERO financial sense. I could go on forever regarding what we have seen the past five? seven? years.
What exactly is it about Nene Leakes that reminds you of your mother’s brilliant parenting?

And who’s fault was that Tamara?

Like I said you’re not a parent its easy for you to sit on throne and pass judgments pop out a baby and then you can speak on parenting because as of now you don’t have the slightest clue…
When did Nene try “umpteen times to reach him?” Just name three.

I guess you didn’t see her crying her eyes out on season 3 trying to get him to understand that his decisions were affecting her personally, what about season 4 when he was arrested and Peter begged her to bail him out, season 1 she was laying into him about going to college and making GOOD choices in life, Gregg even tried reaching out to him on season 2 hell even Dwight tried to offer his advice and every single time they did Bryson made the CHOICE to not listen to any of them. Not to mention the numerous conversations they had with him OFF camera. Don’t even pretend to be perfect Tamara because I am sure your parents had their struggles with you when you were growing up….
Again crying when the kid is in jail because they are embarrassing you and your public image is a ridiculous example of being a good parent. The college scene was fake as fuck. Bryson didn’t have the grades for college. He went to college just like Nene did. Not at all.
The other examples were not about Nene.

You’re clueless and ill end it at that, maybe one day you’ll see what its truly like.
Do you think I live in a bubble? I have a 12 nieces and nephews. They were all raised properly and were not arrested for shoplifting and none have gone to prison. Parenting is learned from HAVING good parents, not by some miraculous inoculation that occurs when a woman “squeezes one out” as you so eloquently put it.

If a good old fashioned crack across the ass doesn’t do it jack them up against the wall. How is it possible to tolerate/validate such disrespect. P.S. never raised my hand because I didn’t have to. When I was growing up sooner or later someone got an ass whupping. Our parents weren’t mean we probably had it coming.
You do live in a bubble in which you think that having a good parent ALONE will simply stop kids from growing up and misbehaving, it may have worked for your nieces and nephews but that doesn’t mean it works for every child, there so many examples of parents who sacrificed it all for their kids and those kids went down the wrong path even though they were raised the right way growing up, and that is where the negative influences come into play.
Adam & Eve are the best examples of children who had a great parent that gave them EVERYTHING they could ever want and need but they made a choice to defy that parent and well we all know what happened as a result of that CHOICE, so would you classify God as a bad parent? To this day we make stupid choices even though we know our heavenly father wouldn’t want us to make those decisions and I’m pretty sure he is up there shaking his head in disappointment but guess what there is nothing he can do about it because we have a choice.

Are you new? I frequently point out that God is a horrific role model. He knew it too. That’s why he exterminated everyone except Noah and started over. He fucked the first batch. Probably because he didn’t have decent parents to guide him.

I believe that Tamara was a teacher for years before retiring. I also believe she fully understands how difficult it is to raise a child in today’s society. That alone is a good reason to mull over wether or not to be a parent in a world that is going to shit.
‘all of these negative influences that are systematically destroying this generation ‘ that you mentioned include the influences learned at home. Nene’s ‘home’. By her behavior I don’t think she has ever created a functional nurturing home. Provided a house,yes.
And the woman passing judgement on her ‘holier than thou throne’ is Nene, who constantly criticizes and judges others for what she believe s are their flaws while unaware they’re hers. She needs the mirror.
Give it a rest. Let me add that if TT chose to be a parent she would be an excellent one. Snarky, rude at times, always funny to me. No matter how blunt she may be, if you read this blog you should realize that at her core she is caring and supportive. Having her as a teacher or parent could be , umm , challenging but I’d bet you would have a good set of values and know the difference between right and wrong, be open minded and be self aware enough to admit your mistakes and openly admit and correct them.
Eh, you’re entitled to your opinion and I to mine. #JeSuisTamara. Lol

When I typed the reply above I hadn’t seen any of the others that followed. I just read your statement “I guess you didn’t see her crying her eyes out on season 3 trying to get him to understand that his decisions were affecting her personally, ”
.Don’t you think she should have been crying and trying to get him to understand how his decisions were hurting HIM ? Must it always be about Nene? Selfish bitch.
That’s his mother of course it would bother her or any other parent for that matter knowing that your child was heading down a path of self destruction and there wasn’t a thing you could do about it, would that not make you sad and feel like you failed as a parent? I’m no Nene fan but I fully understand how problematic it can be trying to raise your kids to be productive law abiding citizens, its not easy and being a teacher is one thing…being a parent is a whole different story.
Exactly. Children spend WAY more time with their teachers than they do with their parents.

I agree, BPrice. You can give your children all the “show by example good roll modelling” and advise based on years of experience, but its up to the kids to make the right choices. Its a given, though, isn’t it, that NeNe is not a good parent? Her children didn’t stand much of a chance of turning out to be useful citizens.
From my standpoint, because she had the audacity to clown Cynthia about hers.
I call bs on the idea that you have to “pop out a kid” to understand. You understand by having a parent — the work has to start from the day the baby is born, not at 18. Yes it can happen that no matter how good a parent, no matter how many opportunities given, a kid will fuck up so majorly that it sets him/her on a course in line that is not easily overcome. But the pretense that laying a good foundation prior to the child becoming an adult doesn’t greatly diminish the chances of him making such a life-altering fuck up is bullshit. There is no evidence Nene laid a good foundation with Bryson — only her crying about it on TV after it was too late.
Stripper mom + a child = Bryson
You forgot to mention that you also never learned how to write properly.
Remember back around the time of the infamous Lingerie Party where people were wondering if Nene was on drugs? Looks like her son was sneaking into Mom’s cookie jar…
He’s suffering from affluenza due to all them Trump checks!
Hopefully Nene is sending any ‘bail her son out money’ straight to his offspring instead. Fuck him. Help them.
Clap clap!
Nothing that a good old fashioned crack across the ass wouldn’t cure. Most of us survived.
@TD totally agree on that one! I let my kids know as early as 6mos that certain behaviors were not permitted. As they got older they learned that our household was not a democracy but a dictatorship, run by me (and their dad when he was in the picture). Still later on they learned (or secretly knew with a ‘look’ from me, certain boundaries shouldn’t be crossed. They weren’t perfect and neither was I. Sometimes they got corporal punishment most times they didn’t. I didn’t claim to know everything, but did the best I could to be fair and sometimes to protect them from themselves. That’s part of the job as a parent. They are 47,45 43yrs of age, never went to jail, have jobs, one is retired from the military and have children of their own. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it. I said our household was a ‘dictatorship’ (play on words) because I feel as long as I am taking care of you, my word is the last word that matters. If you want your word to matter, you leave and do it like you want to do it. And they did.
I don’t want to comment on Nene’s parenting skills, but at least she didn’t bail him out with money at every opportunity that she could have. He has to be responsible for his actions. If he has a problem, he needs to take it head on. As much as I dislike Nene, this makes me feel bad for her. No parent feels good about their children failing, because they feel it’s a reflection of them.
That is the silver lining. At least Nene shares my passion for tough love in situations like this. Bailing him out won’t teach them a lesson (listening Yolanda?).
It’s absolutely a reflection on her. But I don’t believe for a minute she sees it that way. Nene and Gregg were both hustlers well before RHOA. I should round up that old tape on the local Fox channel about all of their financial situations and laughing they were being held as “rich people.”

I’d love that.
Nene is a shame to mothers. Although Lots of celebrities have kids with drug and criminal problems, you don’t see them everywhere bragging about how rich they are while their child is in jail or rehab
Sometimes I think Nene jumps on this blog to defend herself but then I read TT’s smart, no non-sense response and I know she doesn’t have a chance.
Guess he has ramen noodles for a brain
Bwahahahaha!!!
Rich kid problems. Guess that partly explains why NeNe is so miserable and unhappy (yet no excuse for her behaviors)
Yikes. Cocaine only stays in your system for like 2 days. So he had to be stupid enough to do it just before seeing his probation officer. He’s either exceptionally stupid or a serious addict (or both)
If nene were a nice sweet woman say like Cynthia ..,If nene showed other humans respect ….If nene were not a loud bully brawler who gets in people’s faces and yells. …If nene were not arrested a few times…. (I’m not convinced she was a stripper but if she wasn’t a former stripper… If nene could speak proper English or at least recognize that she should learn and do it …..If nene displayed human qualities like loyalty to friends , support of friends, kindness to friends..,,if nene didn’t always put everyone down and berate them for no reason . Maybe then we would clutch the pearls and say My God how could this child have turned out so badly ?How could a lovely woman have such a disgusting child . But it’s nene therefore, no sympathy . This is the reaping of what she sewed down in that boy. A big old cactus tree.
Well said.
Nene did address some of her son’s issues on television a time or two. Must have been a slow story line time. Most good parents wouldn’t put a kid who is having issues on national television and exploit them like she did. But we all know Nene is all about “makin coin hunni”. She never shuts the fuck up about it and makes it clear to everyone who will listen that money is her number one priority. Rich Bitch. Heavy on the bitch. I remember feeling sorry for the kid those few times she pretended to be someone who gave a damn. He was miserable and I thought, wtf? Why is she doing that to her own kid. Well, I knew why of course but it was still hard to watch.
He and she are a menace to society. But somehow she (NeNe) will manage to keep the spot light on someone else. Bryson looks like a social pathic crackhead, with the stereotypical look of ignorance and dont give a damn upon his face. I’m embarrassed for them both.
He does have that “I’ve just been clubbed looked,” about him doesn’t he? That the same way he looked on the show. Miserable.
If I’m not mistaken it showed Nene taking him to buy the car & she said she would be paying $13,000 CASH for it? Yet it was registered to Gregg hmmm!
Why are you assuming that was the same car?

As a mom of 4 boys, you do your best to teach your children to make (wise) decisions. You can’t be with them every second of the day to make sure that they don’t do something stupid. Bryson is a grown man and he chose to drive while intoxicated, shoplift and all the other things the report states. How long will the mom or parents be blamed for their children mistakes. All we can do is pray that they make the right choice. And let me be clear I’m not team Nene. I’m just looking at it from a parent point of view. Because it could be my child messing up!
prayer and hope are not good parenting strategies.

Whether one has “popped one out” or not, fighting about parenting really reflects on the way you were raised. Taking pot shots at people that express opinions different from our own is petty. Each of you has your own individual points of view and sees what you want to see from the same situation. The person that owns and authors this blogsite has a valid point of view – she was a teacher for many years and teachers have a direct microscope into how parents are raising their children. It DOES NOT MATTER IF SHE HAS HAD A CHILD OF HER OWN! Teachers are with your children every single day and have to either work with or work around how you have raised your child. Teachers are an integral part of a child’s being. They not only educate your child, but they also help to mold your child into a purposeful individual that becomes a productive member of society. But, there are times when, no matter how much you discipline that child, or how much you love them, or how much you try to teach that child, they simply don’t care or don’t listen, They become who they are going to become, no matter the mama…It’s funny, when a convict is facing death row for heinous crimes – who do they blame? THE MAMA…The child will be who the child will be.
Of course the person that owns this blogsite has a valid point of view. What does her having been a teacher have to do with the news at hand? The owner of blogsite also said people that haven’t been shown how to parent should be sterilized since they don’t have the ability to parent themselves. That is untrue. I am a walking testament to that fact.
Selfish people are never good parents.
I am late to this party, but I have a different view point of this situation. I have always felt Bryson wants to escape the life he has been forced to endure with the Leakes. Nene has forced guilt and blame onto Bryson since his birth by constantly reiterating that she became a stripper to take care of HIM; she suffered abuse from HIS father; and as a single mother, she had to hustle (steal) to provide for HIM. Nene then meets Gregg and they have Brentt, which rescues her from life on the pole and officially makes Bryson a second class citizen in the household. Bryson has felt a sense of shame and guilt all of his life because Nene has led everyone to believe his birth is what led her to become a stripper, steal and get arrested, be abused by his father, and have a relationship with a married man who she married twice. Now to change the narrative, she has claimed on several occasions that she hustles to let Brentt know that his mommy can make money and be the bread winner (paraphrasing). Gregg has his five children who he claims to love dearly and they have stood up to Nene in the past. Nene and Gregg have Brentt, their golden child, and the symbol of their love who represents everything that is good about Nene’s life. Nene alone has Bryson whose birth made her a victim in her own eyes and brought about all the negativity in her adult life. Bryson has been the invisible man stranded in no man’s land his entire life. Once he steps back to look at his emotional/mental pain, he will hopefully acknowledge how the one sided relationship with Nene has negatively affected his life. Growing up with a self centered narcissistic parent sucks the life out of their defenseless child like a vampire preying on a lamb. Bryson is a young adult who must straighten out his life out and take responsibility for his actions and his children. However, he must remove Nene’s 2000 lb boulder of guilt, blame, and shame from his back before he is crushed under its weight. I really hope Bryson gets it together for his own sake and his three (allegedly) children. ~Selah
@goldenindigo…preach!!! I agree with all you said.
Wow, that was good.
@goldenindigo: Everything you said here above, sage! Healing to Bryson, he must be going through a lot mentally, with a mom focused on being a RICH BITCH! Ne Ne, true riches are your children and their sound mindedness/happiness, not “reading” other women and run-way fashion labels. Sigh.
Nene posted a picture of the “glambaby” that she claims on her website. She was in a diaper with a t-shirt on standing in her shoes. Clearly, Nene always wanted a girl. So that one she will claim. Sadly, I don’t know if Nene will actually be a good influence on the poor baby…

She better not ever critize Cynthia parenting skills ever again. The younger one isn’t a criminal but is dirty and nasty by her own admission during the confessionals.
I found a news video from 2011 where she had been investigated by a local news team for not living the lifestyle she was portraying. (This was when her tag line was ” I don’t keep up with the Jones, I AM the Jones”) In fact she was exposed for not even living in the house she showed on RHOA
.Allegedly, Greg had illegally sub let the house out to people who hadn’t paid the rent amounting to about 7k and left it seriously damaged, including human feces, rotting food, your basic nightmare from hell tenants. The real owner was suing Greg to get trying to get their money.
According to the investigators she was actually living in a very small, below average townhouse. They went to the townhouse, knocked on the door but no one would open it. You can hear Nene’s voice (sounds like Nene to me) denying she was there. They went back another time and a man who still wouldn’t open the door said they didn’t live there at all.
The news team then show her buying her son a truck for 43k from RHOA footage during that same time period.
The next year, 2012 is when she started the rich bitch BS.
I’ve been hearing she is allegedly facing eviction right now for non payment of rent. Allegedly she is claiming the oven doesn’t work and she wont pay. The owners are saying its BS. Supposedly she is 3 months behind and has a history of never paying on time.
I apologize for such a long post and using the word allegedly so much. Obviously, I’m not a writer and I wanted to make sure I covered my ass. Also, I’m medicated from an operation, i.e, high as a Georgia Pine. I’m not accustomed to pain meds but I will say this is the only good thing about hip replacement surgery. I get to play on the internet all day under the influence. They get me extra high before the physical therapist comes. lol.
While you’re high on the Internet you should read the old archives where all of this was discussed. 🙂
And the commenting rules.

What is really sad is that with his record, it will be difficult for him to get any kind of job. That is, when he’s ready to find one. Remember during the first season, she took him to college and planned to re-design or decorate his dorm? Those were the days … So much hope and promise. I don’t begrudge her earning a living as a single parent, however it was done, but I think they were probably too permissive once she and Gregg got together. Assumed that with 2 parents, he’d magically turn out ok.
That was all fake. The whole dorm thing. They toured the campus/dorm room but he was not qualified to attend. Allegedly.
That’s even sadder, using him for a storyline that wasn’t going to happen.
Jaded, you do realize that teachers tend to spend more time with children thm the parents do. They have a huge influence on molding, shaping and instilling proper values into their students. I don’t know how many times I have heard a person give thanks to a teacher that listened to them, believed in them and gave them the course and confidence they needed to move forward and excel in life.if it hadn’t been for said teacher they would not have achieved what they had because it wasn’t given at home.
I think TT knows of what she speaks. If you are brought up well by caringandnurturingparents you can pass on the lessons.
When three out of the four have mugshots, that does not speak well for them as a family unit. Maybe NeNe should be giving her “Close your legs” speech to the idiots that are choosing to sleep with her slack jawed son. What exactly was he in rehab for….being a moron that cannot follow simple instructions from the court?
