This afternoon, NeNe released a detailed statement concerning her son’s arrest. Check out what she has to say about it below:

Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson. Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner.

My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won?t be the last. Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse.

I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I?ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.
