NeNe Leakes has some faithful friends. In the aftermath of the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Gregg Leakes, NeNe has started to move on. Just last month, NeNe went public with her new man, Nyonisela Sioh, who owns a suit company in Charlotte. Nyonisela originally hails from Liberia, Africa. While some thought the Real Housewives of Atlanta star moved on quickly, it’s important to recognize that everyone grieves differently. And Gregg was sick for a very long time, even giving her his blessing to date after he passed. Said NeNe of one of their last conversations, “Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were ‘be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one.’”
But social media can be brutal, even to the grieving. Instagram trolls started to question whether or not NeNe was dating Nyonisela before Gregg’s passing. Luckily for NeNe, her friends have her back. @thebravoshaderoom on Instagram captured a comment made by NeNe’s friend, Tamar Braxton. Tamar commented of NeNe and Nyonisela, “They were NOT together when Greg [sic] was alive!! I was there the day they met! Leave them alone!! They are a beautiful couple.” She concluded, “I’m not lying the energy is all love and amazing and infectious.” NeNe responded to the comment with multiple heart emojis.
And this comes at an important time for NeNe and her new relationship, which is catching a lot of judgement. Some, like former castmate, Phaedra Parks, were extremely supportive. She said of NeNe moving forward, “Love conquers all. If NeNe wants to find love, she is gorgeous and she’s got a great body. So I say, go after it, honey.”

Other Bravolebrities were a little more critical. Ok, a lot. It was recently revealed that Married to Medicine star Dr. Heavenly Kimes was “unimpressed” by Nene posting Nyonisela “all over social media.” Said Heavenly, “I wouldn’t have touted this dude. Not me, I would have had nobody this soon. Even if I did, I wouldn’t have posted them. Nobody would know who I was sleeping with…Not everything is for Instagram. Maybe I am wrong.”
Heavenly, ma’am, please step aside. You have no idea what you are talking about so please mind your marriage. I’m sure even Daddy would tell you to zip it when it comes to this topic.
But Heavenly tried her hardest not to be a total hater and added, “It’s hard being out there by yourself. She’s a celebrity, probably a lot of dudes at her.” Yes, which NeNe should feel free to pursue dudes as much as she likes. It’s her happiness after all.
