NeNe's son was arrested on July 3, 2023, for fentanyl possession. He was later hit with an additional charge of “giving a false name, address, or birthdate to a law enforcement officer" after claiming to be his younger brother, Brentt Leakes, at the time of his arrest, which he also pled not guilty to.

Bryson spent several months behind bars at Gwinnett County Jail.

NeNe spoke out about Bryson's situation after his arrest.

"He needs rehabilitation," she said. "He needs a lot of counseling. Like many families out there, I have family members that are struggling with drugs and certain addictions. He has an addiction. He's been struggling with it for years. He's been in rehab for a couple of times and he still has come back out and relapsed."
