The reality star’s eldest son was arrested on a variety of charges at the beginning of July and has a bond of over $6,000.
NeNe Leakes’ son Bryson Bryant was arrested in Lawrenceville, Georgia on drug possession charges on July 3, 2023. The Real Housewives Of Atlanta alum’s son, 33, is still in jail two weeks after the arrest, police records from the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office confirm.
Bryson was charged with two counts of violation of probation, loitering/prowling, giving a false address, name, or birthdate, and possession of a schedule II substance.

![This is the booking photo of the voice of Disney’s Pocahontas, Irene Bedard, after she was arrested for disorderly conduct. The 55-year-old - best known for voicing the famous character in the 1995 animated movie - had to be separated from another woman by police in Greene County, Ohio, on August 19 after the pair were arguing and screaming. According to a police report, the women “walked out into the street screaming, without any regard for traffic”. Bedard had “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath”, but insisted she had not been drinking that day. She told police she had drunk a bottle of vodka the day before. Bedard said the other woman, Sheila Johnson, had been trying to help her into her “studio”, but she was unable to find her keys. According to the police report, Beard’s “emotions changed rapidly”, going from calm to becoming upset and eventually crying. Police tried to move Bedard away from a large window as they feared she might shatter the glass, but when Johnson offered them a name to call on Bedard’s behalf the actress ran away screaming. She was booked for disorderly conduct and released on August 21. Bedard was arrested twice over a three-day period back in November 2020. *BYLINE: Greene County Sheriff’s Office/Pop Nation/TMX/Mega. 19 Aug 2022 Pictured: The booking photo of the voice of Disney’s Pocahontas, Irene Bedard, after she was arrested for disorderly conduct. *BYLINE: Greene County Sheriff’s Office/Pop Nation/TMX/Mega.

Bryson was arrested after police searched his car after neighbors had called reporting a suspicious vehicle, according to People, who obtained an incident report. He had been sitting in the parked car. During the search, police found “a small plastic bag that contained a white powdery substance,” which they alleged, “provided a presumptive positive for Fentanyl.” During the arrest, Bryson had reportedly first identified himself as his brother Brentt Leakes, 24, NeNe’s younger son from her marriage to her late husband Gregg Leakes.
After it was reported that Bryson had lied to police and used his brother’s name Brentt appeared to respond to the report on his Instagram Stories, according to Yahoo News. He had used memes of his mom on RHOA, including a clip of her saying, “Now why I am in it? Now see how I get thrown in stuff? I ain’t even did nothing.”
Bryson and his younger brother had both made appearances on RHOA during her time on the show from 2008 to 2020. This hasn’t been the first time that NeNe’s elder son has run into legal trouble. He was arrested for marijuana possession in 2010, and he was arrested again for shoplifting in 2011, according to TMZ. Bryson was arrested with a misdemeanor for giving a false name in June 2015, when he was involved in a check forgery case in June 2015, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
