He was also later charged with violating his probation in another case. NeNe Leakes has [yet to comment](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/07/18/nene-leakes-kim-zolciak-rhoa/) on her oldest son's latest brush with the law. Over the years, Bryson has had many run-ins with the law. In 2011, Bryson was arrested for DUI. A year later, he was arrested for driving on a suspended license. In 2015, Bryson was arrested at a McDonalds for giving police a fake name and address. He was allegedly part of a group planning to print counterfeit checks at the fast food joint. Some of Bryson's dalliances with the law were documented on the *[Real Housewives of Atlanta](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta/)* despite his attempts to stay out of the spotlight and off the hit Bravo series. In 2012, Bryson's arrest for stealing razors at Walmart was documented on season 5 of RHOA as the then 20-something wanted his mother to bail him out. ![NeNe Leakes argues with co-stars at RHOA reunion.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/nene-house.jpg)NeNe Leakes argues with co-stars at RHOA reunion. Instead of doing so, NeNe let Bryson sit in jail and think about his actions since it was the first time he had been arrested. ***“He’s had a really easy life, so now I’m gonna show him what a hard life is,”*** NeNe said at the time. ***“He’s gonna stay in jail. I’m not getting him out, and he can figure it out from behind bars.”*** Bryson has a court hearing scheduled on Wednesday. Stay tuned for more on this developing story. *The Real Housewives of Atlanta *airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all? Sound off below!
