NeNe addressed her son’s health in a video message posted to social media:
“Two weeks ago today, Brentt had congestive heart failure and a stroke,” she continued. “He’s only 23, so he’s really young for something like that to happen to him.”
NeNe, who is also mom to 32-year-old son Bryson, went on to note that doctors wondered if drugs or an infection led to Brentt’s condition:
“Brentt doesn’t drink or do drugs. And obviously they’ve tested him for all of those things. They also tested him for HIV. They were thinking that maybe he had caught COVID and he didn’t know that he had COVID.”
“If you remember some years ago, I had blood clots in my lungs and we could not figure out where it came from,” she said. “So they’re thinking that it may be Brentt was born with some sort of disease or something with his heart since he was a kid and it just never showed up until now. Like we don’t know this is just a lot for us right now. And everything is still very new.”
