Many of NeNe’s fans responded with words of encouragement for accepting her son’s sexuality.

Another shared, “This be explaining why kids sometimes struggle with behavioral issues. Gotta be free!”
Someone else pointed out, “That’s right! As long as my mom loved and accepts me I wouldn’t give one F*CK about anyone else!”
Brentt has undergone significant life changes after suffering a stroke in 2022 that left the 23-year-old hospitalized in a coma for months. Since suffering a stroke and congested heart failure, Brentt has been focused on improving his health.
The 23-year-old son of the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum showed off a stunning 100-pound weight loss on Instagram in early 2023, posting a series of photos of his slimmer physique.
“Focus on you until The focus is you. # 100poundsdown,” Brentt wrote alongside a side-by-side snap, revealing his jaw-dropping weight loss.
In November, NeNe posted a series of happy photos and a video of her son after he was discharged from the hospital. The former reality star thanked God for her son’s progress, after Brentt’s two-month hospital stay.
“Yay! You’re walking out,” NeNe announced. “Two months later, Brentt is walking out. Hallelujah.”
The Glee alum took to her Instagram Story to show Brentt walking through the hospital and showing love to the staff. Brentt waved to the nurses and even gave one a hug as he made his exit.
