The third season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is sure to be more dramatic than ever–first with the news of Kim’s newest love interest, and now NeNe’s son!
Bryson Bryant, the eldest son of NeNe Leakes was arrested March 7 on a marijuana possession charge, and placed in an Atlanta area jail. Bryant appeared in the first season of the hit Bravo show, and was seen looking at colleges with NeNe.
The eccentric housewife released a statement about her son’s arrest, and called the situation a “family issue.”
“Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson. Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner.”
“My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won’t be the last. Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse,” Leakes continued. “I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I’ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.”
NeNe also took to her Twitter page to speak out about the incident:
“Morning! I know my parenting job is NEVER DONE but TOUGH LOVE is ordered by the JUDGE! The judge [in] this case is ME. My head is up & held high this morning because I KNOW the parent that i’am! U hate 4 yo kids 2 make mistakes! TOUGH LOVE this morning.”
Leakes is expected to appear on Bravo’s Watch What Happens live on Thursday night–we expect she’ll have speak her mind there too!
