“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum NeNe Leakes’ oldest son, Bryson Bryant, is behind bars after a judge found he violated his probation … TMZ has learned.
Per jail records, Bryson was booked on May 1, 2026, and is currently held in a Georgia jail … on charges of failure to pay child support, probation violation, and failure to appear. His bond is set at $27K.
The probation violation stems from a 2024 case in which cops say he was found with fentanyl. During questioning, cops say he told officers his name was Brentt Leakes, which is the name of NeNe’s youngest son.
Bryson ended up being charged with giving a false name to officers and possession of a controlled substance. He reached a plea deal where the drug charge was dropped, but he was sentenced to 12 months’ probation.
In addition, he was ordered to pay $500 in fines, complete 40 hours of community service, get randomly drug tested, and undergo a drug evaluation.
TMZ obtained court docs filed on June 2 … where prosecutors claimed Bryson violated numerous terms of his 2024 probation, including failure to report since the sentence, complete the substance abuse evaluation, perform his community service, and make any payments on the fine.
NeNe previously spoke out about Bryson’s issues with addiction … saying he needed counseling and had a problem.
The ‘RHOA’ alum said she has spent a ton of money trying to help him and that he has gone to rehab multiple times … with no luck.

“Elf” star Faizon Love was arrested on charges connected to a child support case after claiming he couldn’t pay $250,000 due to financial struggles.
The beloved actor, who was detained for an outstanding warrant, was taken to the Orient Road Jail in Tampa, Florida, on June 18, 2026, where he is being held without bond.
He claimed he couldn’t pay child support because he was broke, allegedly earning only $13,000 in the past five years.
Love, however, isn’t a stranger to legal issues and has been arrested and sued in the past for assault.
The “Friday” star’s run-in with the law, which started in 2017, comes after he became an adored comedian with more than 90 acting credits since the 1990s.
Page Six is breaking down Love’s career leading up to his legal run-ins.
Rise to stardom
Love’s decades-long career in the entertainment industry kick-started when he signed on as a comedian on the TV series “L.A. Friday” from 1988 to 1990.
In the early 1990s, he starred in several films, including the role of Big Worm in the 1995 F. Gary Gray movie “Friday,” starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.
The actor was also a regular in the TV series “The Parent ‘Hood” as Wendell Wilcox from 1995 to 1998.
Big break
One of Love’s most beloved roles was as the overworked Gimbel store manager in the 2003 film “Elf” starring Will Ferrell and Zoey Deschanel.
In the Jon Favreau-directed Christmas movie, he works alongside Ferrell and Deschanel’s characters, Buddy and Jovie, to run a chaotic department store during the holiday season.
Additionally, Love played the role of Shane in the 2009 film “Couples Retreat.”
Other movie and show credits include “That’s So Raven,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Zookeeper” as Bruce the Bear and “Step Up: High Water.”
Love’s last role was as Vernon in the 2023 movie “The Last Stop in Yuma County.”
2017 assault arrest
Love was arrested for assaulting a John Glenn Columbus International Airport valet employee on March 7, 2017.
According to authorities, he was arguing with the 24-year-old employee in the baggage claim area before grabbing the latter by the neck and pushing him on the floor several times, per 10WBNS.
At the time, the “Prince of Detroit” star’s attorney explained that Love and the worker had a disagreement about the actor’s parking payment after he left his vehicle at the Ohio-based airport for months while traveling.
Love pleaded no contest, was fined $500, and sentenced to 180 days in jail.
2024 assault
In 2024, Love was accused of assaulting a San Diego Sheraton Hotel employee after learning there were no more vacancies.
According to a lawsuit obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Love allegedly became “agitated and aggressive” and “forcefully ripped the credit card reader off the counter and hurled it at” the female worker.
The employee claimed that Love broke her glasses and she “suffered pain, injury, and emotional distress, including a concussion and a visible bump behind her right ear.”
Per the filing, the San Diego Police Department responded to the scene and cited Love for battery.
2026 arrest
Love was arrested once again on June 16, 2026, after he allegedly violated a court order in Florida.
The “Bulletproof 2” star’s arrest was reportedly connected to his paternity case with a woman named Tiffany Lee, who alleged he owes her $250,000 in unpaid child support, per TMZ.
In court documents, he alleged that he didn’t have the funds to pay Lee, claiming that he’s only earned $13,000 in the past five years, with no earnings in the past year.
Love failed to attend a child support case court hearing in April 2026, claiming he had a medical emergency. He was later ordered to turn himself in to serve a 90-day sentence.

Diddy’s company is being sued after allegedly failing to close a multi-million dollar deal to sell his home on Star Island near Miami.
A man named John Franklin is suing 1 West Star Island LLC — the corporation which technically owns Diddy’s mansion in the affluent neighborhood … claiming he entered into an agreement back in March to buy the home for $55 million.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Franklin says the closing date was set for May 12 … but when it came around, he claims the company was “not ready or able to close” the deal even though he was.
Specifically, Franklin claims 1 West Star Island wasn’t able to provide a clear title by the closing date by failing to provide some paperwork about a couple mortgages on the property.
He notes there’s a mediation clause baked into the contract … and he says he will go to mediation to work out the deal — but he’s filing the lawsuit out of an abundance of caution to protect his interest in the property.
Franklin’s asking a judge to enforce the contract and force the sale.
Diddy’s Star Island home made headlines as one of the properties the feds raided months before the rapper’s September 2024 arrest in New York City.
Officers arrived by boat to search the compound in March 2024 … and the feds later released photos of what they found … including sex toys on a shelving unit near Vaseline and Astroglide lube.
Diddy’s currently serving time at Fort Dix — a federal prison in New Jersey. He’s expected to be released in February 2028.
The Star Island home has been a key part of Diddy’s case … every time he tried to get released on bail — after the arrest and between his verdict and sentencing — he proposed living there and offered it up as collateral.
A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ … “The lawsuit is against 1 West Star Island LLC, not Mr. Combs personally, and it does not allege that he ‘reneged’ on a deal or failed to pay mortgages.”
The rep goes on … “At most, the complaint claims there were title/closing documentation issues involving recorded encumbrances and a permit issue. We dispute any suggestion that Mr. Combs failed to pay off mortgages or personally caused the transaction not to close.”

“Elf” actor Faizon Love made his first appearance in a Florida courtroom Friday after being busted on an outstanding warrant.
Love, 58, wearing a red prison jumpsuit and shackled at the wrists, was brought into the Hillsborough County courtroom in a wheelchair Friday for his initial appearance.
He’s facing two contempt of court charges stemming from a child support case, according to TMZ, which reported his ex, Tiffany Lee, claims he’s $250,000 in arrears.
Lee’s lawyer argued Love ignored multiple court orders and hasn’t made the court-mandated $2,500 per month child support payments in years.
The “Couple’s Retreat” star has claimed he didn’t earn a single cent in 2025 and that his highest gross income over the last five years was just $13,000, the outlet reported.
His lawyers said the actor is having difficulty making ends meet — that he has no home, drives a 1999 car and has been forced to depend on friends to help cover his expenses.
“Do you have the current ability at this point in time to pay $2,500 a month in child support?” Love’s lawyer asked him during the hearing.
“Right now? No,” he admitted.
“The sentence is preventing him from working and ruining his name in Hollywood,” his attorney argued. “So, if he’s in jail, he can’t work.”
Appearing on a video call during the proceedings, Lee claimed Love “specifically told me that I wasn’t going to get a dime” and said he was going to stop working and cancel shows to deprive her of the money.
Love will be released from custody today, the judge giving him until July 1 to put a financial statement together to prove he can’t afford the payments, according to 10 Tampa Bay News.
The “Friday” actor was cuffed in Florida Tuesday, appearing haggard and stone-faced in a mugshot after his arrest.
He was originally arrested in California over two weeks ago and served 16 days in jail, according to the outlet.
Love’s attorney, Glen R. Lansky, told ABC News Thursday: “To my knowledge, he was picked up in Riverside County, California and transported some days later to Hillsborough County on orders of contempt from the Honorable Judge Mark Kiser.”
Reached for comment after Friday’s hearing, Lansky told the Post: “We are very pleased with the result and I have taken over representation on all outstanding matters related to his case and will be filing a supplemental petition to modify child support.”
Love has had prior run-ins with law enforcement, including several arrests for assault.
In 2017, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor for a caught-on-camera assault of a valet at the John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio, for which he was fined $500 and handed a 180-day suspended jail sentence.
Last year he was accused of felony assault after allegedly hurling a credit card machine at the head of a San Diego hotel clerk after she told him she couldn’t provide the room he had booked.
Love has appeared in dozens of movies including “The Replacements” and “Couples Retreat.”

On his last show before his traditional summer break, Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night announced the celebs who will fill in for him as guest hosts of Jimmy Kimmel Live! over the next couple of months.
Tiffany Haddish will kick things off, hosting the week of July 6. She’ll be followed throughout the summer by Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jelly Roll and “as a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites — Rosie O’Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming,” Kimmel announced. In addition to Kimmel’s ongoing war of words with Trump, it’s no secret that Trump and O’Donnell have been embroiled in a decades-long feud. After Trump’s re-election in 2024, O’Donnell moved to Ireland with her youngest child – a decision she said she made “to protect her child’s well-being and her own mental health.”
And the last night before Kimmel heads off on his two-month-long break would not be complete without a Matt Damon sighting. The star of upcoming The Odyssey arrived in a literal Trojan horse to sneak onto the stage.
“I have traveled far and wide, through waves and war, to save this audience from mediocrity,” Damon announced as he emerged from the horse.

“This is trespassing,” Kimmel said. “This is another crime you’ve committed here.”
“Your face is a crime,” Damon replied. Damon told the audience he was there to promote his upcoming film, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which bows on July 17.
