Sources close to the family told the outlet that Brentt suffered the episode in Atlanta earlier this month.
He was quickly transported to a hospital to receive medical attention and has since been released.
Nene’s son reportedly spent several days in the hospital but is on the mend and undergoing rehab at home.
The Real Housewives star has yet to comment on her son’s condition at the time of this publication.
Last September, Nene’s husband, Gregg, lost his battle with colon cancer at the age of 66.
The couple first tied the knot in 1997 before divorcing in 2011, though they walked down the aisle again in 2013.
Since he was first diagnosed with cancer, Nene had been Gregg’s caretaker, sharing: “It was difficult. Gregg handled a lot of things in our life. There were some things I didn’t know — some of the simple things. I didn’t even know who the lawn guy was.”
Upon Gregg’s passing on September 1, 2021, Nene told People: “The last five days before his passing was really beautiful. All of his children were there. His best friends were there. Our closest friends were there. We all sat with him around the clock.”

She continued, “We talked a lot, and we made peace with what was happening.”
TRAGIC LOSS
She shared some of her late husband’s last words: “I’m not going to leave you. God is going to bless you.”
Nene, 54, detailed: “I told him I wouldn’t have chosen another husband other than him. I said, ‘I married you twice, crazy man.”
“He said he wanted me to move on with my life,” the reality star went on to say.
She was also there for him when he took his last breath, recalling: “He took a deep breath, and then he stopped.
“I thought I would be scared, but I just held him and kissed him.”
“I keep thinking to myself he’s away on a trip and he’ll be right back. I’m still waiting for him to come home.”
HONORING DAD
NeNe held a memorial for Gregg with a special performance by Tamar Braxton at their Atlanta nightclub.
Brentt also threw a party at their family lounge, The Linnethia Lounge, to honor his father.
He also shared a special tribute to his late dad on social media.
Brentt wrote in the emotional post: “Spend time with your loved ones every chance you get.
“Time is so F**king valuable dog. I can’t express it.”
The Georgia native added: “I’m learning the hard way watching my dad fight every day. Please go create memories with ya people.”
