Nene Leakes is another huge name to come from the Real Housewives franchise, and for good reason. The star proudly refers to herself as the "original housewife" of Atlanta. Since 2008, Leakes has been serving up realness on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and it doesn't seem as though she has any plans to stop. Leakes' appearances on RHOA has been so well-received, in fact, that she hosted a stand-up comedy tour in 2019, capitalizing on her fame.
However, Leakes has also dealt with some difficult personal issues since appearing on RHOA. In 2018, it was revealed that Leakes' husband, Gregg, was diagnosed with cancer. In April 2019, Gregg finished his chemotherapy treatments, which Leakes happily documented on Instagram. Truly, Leakes has undergone quite a transformation during her time on RHOA. Her hair has always looked fierce, but there's no denying she has only gotten better with age. While she's forever been gorgeous and spunky, she's even more so now.
