Word is… NeNe Leakes of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” may be headed towards the courthouse real soon to file them ‘PAPERS.’ after her hubby Greg Leakes, was caught on tape throwing mad shade at his own wife while talking to a friend.

Greg aired out their dirty laundry and put NeNe on full blast!

He even said the two are getting a divorce, despite NeNe’s denials online and off that all the cheating and breakup rumors were false.

Apparently, Greg borrowed money from his radio host friend Corey King at internet radio station Large FM to get him and NeNe out of their home foreclosure “situation” and he also needed money to “finance her career”.

Greg never paid his friend back and he’s been avoiding dude ever since.

So here’s where it gets messy… Corey got Greg on the phone this week and had a full out conversation with him….on AIR!

The call was taped–unbeknownst to Greg and Corey proceeded to post the audio as payback for Greg holding out on the money he owes. Thanks to Corey, we get the real deal behind the Leakes’ “marriage”…. no ifs, ands… or buts… from the horses mouth.

In the audio, Greg but NeNe on blast about her antics and? confirmed they are INDEED going through a divorce.

“It’s a messed up situation and I’m still in it!” When asked how NeNe is gonna be a “housewife” without him, Greg responds, “Out of all 5 of em there ain’t gonna be but one married anyway.”

Greg also revealed that he dayum near went broke trying to enhance NeNe’s appearance for the show:

I spent 300,000 CASH on season one. I spend $300,000 of my own good money, to make sure she jumped off on that show! We never thought they’d build that show around her. I told her “You have GOT to blow up!”? I’m sticking everything I can put my hands on into you.

Word on the street is that NeNe heard the audio yesterday and was PISSED. NeNe was in Miami for memorial day but is on her way home, I’m sure Greg will get an earful when she hits the ground.
