“A huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s NeNe Leakes says a report that she and her husband have been evicted is “a huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate.

“I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful life and lifestyle,” she says in a post on a Bravo blog. “We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home, and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that an eviction notice was filed Sept. 24 against NeNe’s husband, real estate investor Gregory Leakes, because he owed $6,240 in past rent on their five-bedroom home (featured on their hit Bravo show).

“Unfortunately, there are many families who are facing real foreclosures and real evictions. That is not and never was the case with us,” NeNe claims. “I know where we live and how we live, and for those blessings, I am humbly thankful.

“Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted,” she goes on. “Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you!”

Before signing off, she thanked fans for their “well wishes. However, please know that my family continues to be abundantly blessed, and that Miss NeNe has not skipped a beat!”

Oh No!!! NeNe gets evicted!!!

Did NeNe get evicted????

According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth, NeNe and her husband, Gregory Leakes, left in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice in September.

The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.

The owner of the home, Kajani Shenaz Ali, lives overseas, Pierce said. Online records show the home in the gated community of Stonebrier at Sugarloaf, was purchased for $829,400 in September 2006. Pierce said the Leakeses moved into the home shortly after it was built in 2006.

NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

NeNe, 41, wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!”

The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s business is that??”
