REAL Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes is facing a court battle as the wife of her current boyfriend slaps her with a lawsuit.
Malomine Tehmeh-Sioh wants $100,000 from the reality star for causing her emotional distress she claims was caused by NeNe’s relationship with her husband, Nyonisela Sioh.
The mortgage closer filed the lawsuit in North Carolina which is one of only seven states that allows a person to sue a third party over ‘alienation of affection’ from their spouse.
The law allows a person to sue for ‘wrongful acts that deprived them of the love and affection of their spouse’ and apply to any person it usually used to sue a spouse’s extramarital partner.
Malomine claims in her lawsuit that NeNe posted multiple pictures of her and Nyonisela to her social media which caused emotional distress, mental anguish and a loss of affection, leading to the end of her marriage, according to TMZ.
NeNe, 54, revealed she was open to marriage again after her husband Gregg lost his four-year battle with colon cancer in November 2021.
The couple first tied the knot in 1997, before divorcing in 2011. However, the pair would reunite and once again walk down the aisle in 2013.
The reality star and her Liberian businessman beau have been dating since late last year.
The couple went public on December 16, when they posted multiple pictures of themselves to Instagram, celebrating her birthday.
A few days later, the two were spotted holding hands in Miami as they made their way out of the restaurant Mr. Chow.
The reality star is no stranger to lawsuit recently and has sued the companies and producers behind RHOA, including Bravo and executive producer Andy Cohen.
She alleged that racism was “accepted” and that the companies tolerated a hostile and racist work environment.

The lawsuit claims the former reality star complained to executives about years of racist remarks from RHOA castmate Kim Zolciak, 43, but that only NeNe suffered consequences.
The court documents read: “NBC, Bravo, and True foster a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged.”
The Sun has reached out to representatives for both Bravo and Kim for comment.
The Defendants have not responded to NeNe’s lawsuit.
