Brent Leakesson Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s NeNe leakjust announced he lost 100-pounds after suffering a stroke and heart failure in October 2022.
Taking to his Instagram, Brentt posted a series of pictures showing off his stunning transformation when he was dressed in a striking red velvet jumpsuit. He captioned the carousel, “Focus on you until you focus. #100lbs down.”
He also included a video of him confidently walking again without a problem.
Brentt’s remarkable recovery was documented by his mother NeNe late last year. At the time, NeNe took to social media and explained to her fans that Brentt had suffered a stroke. He also asked for prayers.
“Two weeks ago, Brentt had congestive heart failure and a stroke,” she posted to Stories at the time. “He’s only 23, so he’s too young for something like that to happen.”
NeNe went on to point out that drugs and alcohol have been ruled out as contributing factors and that COVID-19 may have played a role in Brentt’s condition.
Unfortunately, the stroke left Brentt with long-term injuries. He had to learn to walk again, and eventually had to be sent to a rehab facility to undergo intensive care to regain his independence and relearn basic motor function skills.
NeNe posted a video of Brentt’s progress as he underwent physical therapy, and she can be heard in the video telling her son, “I’m so happy for you. This is great.”
“To God Be Glory,” he added in the caption.
