NeNe Leakes Declines Traitors Season 4 Over Son's Health

NeNe Leakes confirmed that she was offered a spot on The Traitors Season 4 but declined due to her son Brentt's ongoing health issues. Brentt, who has faced congestive heart failure, a stroke, and underwent a heart transplant in 2024, experienced complications with his new heart rejecting the implant, keeping him hospitalized since May. NeNe expressed relief about her decision to turn down the show, explaining that she could not commit to filming abroad while her son was seriously ill. She also denied rumors that her choice was motivated by financial reasons, emphasizing her priority was being with her son during his recovery. The Traitors Season 4, which films in Scotland and includes new cast members like Porsha Williams, continues to be a popular Peacock reality competition series. NeNe had hoped to participate and make a strong comeback but chose family over the opportunity due to the uncertain timing of her son's health improvement.
