NeNe Leakes’ 23-year-old son, Brentt Leakes, recently caused quite a stir on social media after he accidentally led netizens to believe he was gay while participating in a popular TikTok trend. However, in a follow-up video posted later, Brentt clarified that he is not.
NeNe Leaks also confirmed the same during her appearance on the Breakfast Club podcast, where she explained the ordeal, saying:
“Brentt is not gay. Not that I know of.”
Why did people think NeNe Leakes’ son would be in her TikTok video?
What caused the confusion?
The now-viral TikTok that accidentally convinced netizens that Brentt had revealed his sexual orientation was posted over the weekend. It received a lot of traction, and users reacted positively.
In the video, the 23-year-old can be seen following a paper basketball challenge, where one aims to place paper balls in a basket. This is a rigged trend on TikTok. Brentt’s video caption read:
“If I miss, I’m gay”
TikTok users said the shot was clearly missed on purpose and that its snap at the end of the video made the statement seem all too real.
The clarification
The surprise about the supposed video of coming out of the closet came just a few hours later.
Shortly after the first TikTok went viral, Brentt posted another one that read:
“Just so you know I’m not gay, I love women. It’s only for Tik Tok.”
When Leakes posted the second video, he shocked users who actually believed he was out.
NeNe Leakes also addressed the bug on the Breakfast Club podcast. She said:
She “she called me and said, ‘Mom, everyone asks me if I’m gay because I did this TikTok thing.’ And I said, ‘It’s okay if you’re gay. Okay for me'”.
She continued:
“And he was like, ‘Okay, mom, I’m not gay.'”
