NeNe Leakes’ son, Brentt, unveiled his impressive 100-pound weight loss on Sunday with his 72,000 Instagram followers, four months after suffering a terrifying stroke.
After his health scare last fall, the 23-year-old shared an inspiring before-and-after photo of himself, in which he looked noticeably trimmer.
‘Focus on you until the focus is you. #100poundsdown,’ the youngest child of NeNe and her late husband Gregg Leakes captioned his slideshow.

The new images of Brentt showed him looking fit in a red tracksuit with white racing stripes down the pants and arms, coordinating sneakers and a sweatband.
In October, NeNe revealed in a statement that her son’s ‘life changed’ on September 26 after he suffered congestive heart failure and a stroke.
In her post, she revealed Brentt had been showing improvement since the ordeal began with him ‘struggling’ with his speech.

‘Brentt had congestive heart failure and a stroke. He’s only 23 so he’s really young for something like that to happen to him,’ NeNe said in a video recorded in her car.
‘The first thing a lot of doctors think of when someone that age comes in with that kind of condition is maybe they’ve done drugs or some serious infection, maybe HIV,’ NeNe said.
‘Brentt doesn’t drink or do drugs… they also tested him for HIV. They were thinking that maybe he had caught COVID and he didn’t know that he had COVID. They did see some things like that happen if they caught the Delta variant. He never knew he had COVID. I’ve never known him to have COVID. So, they have run a number of tests on him to see what could have possibly made this happen to him,’ she explained.

‘We are still trying to figure out because if we knew the cause, obviously they could treat the cause. It was very scary. I don’t even want to go into details of what happened… how I found out and what condition he was in. Obviously a stroke is a very serious thing. He’s struggling with speaking. I don’t know. I just know that…keep us in your prayers,’ the star added.
‘Brentt FaceTimed me this morning. He’s in good spirits. We just are… shocked. Just shocked….All of this is still so new to me. We’re not revealing where Brentt currently is.
‘Maybe Brentt was born with some sort of disease… something with his heart since he was a kid. And it just never showed up until now. We don’t know. This is just a lot for us right now. Everything is still very new. I’ve been asked a million questions… could his weight have been the issue? The doctors said they don’t think so.’
‘He has shown some improvement. We’re really happy and blessed for that.’
‘Brentt was very stressed out in the month of September because that was the one year anniversary for the passing of his dad. He was very close to his dad and he’s been super stressed out over it. I don’t even know if that has anything to do with it at all. I asked the doctors questions like that and they seem to think that that is not the case with Brentt.’
