Gregg Leakes Has Died

September 1, 2021 by tamaratattles 43 Comments

gregg leakesIn very sad news for the Bravo community, Gregg Leakes has died after a very long battle with colon cancer. A family spokes person made the following announcement, “Today the Leakes family is in deep pain with a broken heart. After a long battle with cancer, Gregg Leakes has passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by all of his children, very close loved ones and wife Nene Leakes. We ask that you pray for peace and strength over their family & allow them to mourn in private during this very very difficult time.”

There will not be a funeral, as Gregg chose to be cremated. The family will have a private “celebration of life ceremony.”

Nene had previously announced at her nightclub that Gregg was home “transitioning to the other side” after a customer complained that she was rude for not saying happy birthday to her.

He was 66 years old. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

    RIP Gregg! I feel like this is the time for Bravo & Andy to reconcile with NeNe! We don’t need to see it publicly but that woman loved Andy and said a lot of things out of pain. Love her or hate her she made RHOA the hit it was in it’s prime and even if she’s not back on #RHOA this new season I’d like her and Andy to make peace.

      Andy sent condolences. Gregg dying doesn’t change a thing between Nene and Bravo. Nene dug her own hole.

        Sadly, yes. I feel bad about Gregg. And, I’m also waiting for the other shoe to drop, for Nene to somehow use that to try to advance her career.

              I am going to loss it if Nene shows up.on Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil, or a special based on her suffering and what she sacrificed.
              I think I would have to say something about her having him suffer in the Florida heat, the work that he did for her. The weakness shown and ignored, and on and on.

              This is something I hope she doesn’t get away with.
              I hope she just goes away,never to be seen again. She offers nothing.

      No way. I felt so bad for Gregg and the way Nene treated him when he had cancer on the show. She couldn’t even be bothered to stay with him for a surgery when he was afraid. Gregg seemed like a decent and good man. I don’t want Nene on rhoa using his death as a storyline.

    So sad to hear, may he rest in peace and condolences to the family.
    As over the top some of the wives/families can be at times its a reminder of the human factor. Is this the 3rd husband that has passed? Russell Armstrong, Bobby Zarin and now Gregg?

    It’s so sad, it’s always hard losing a family member. It’s great to see on social media current and past cast members and people from other housewife cities sending their condolences to nene and her family.

    Gregg was the one HW husband i actually really liked. So sad to learn of his passing. He battled cancer for quite a while now and I know from experience what a toll that takes not only on Gregg, but also on his family. Praying for God’s grace and comfort for the Leakes Family and all their friends. Gregg will be missed.

    Very sad. I too always liked Gregg. It just sounds tacky to me for Nene to tell that to a complaining customer. I personally see those last moments as very private. I don’t know. Plus, it’s not like Nene isn’t a bitch to “the people beneath her” any other day. I just hope that she was nice to HIM in his final days.

    Fly free Gregg.

    By scheduleing a colonoscopy to honor Gregg’s life, you could be saving your own.

    Godspeed Gregg. You were always a class act. Nene was blessed to have you for the time she did. Praying for comfort for her heartbreak.
