For those not on the loop, PEOPLE managed to obtain court documents last Friday (Aug. 19) revealing that the 48-year-old owes a whopping $824,366.01 in back taxes for 2014. The reality star finally broke her silence on the issue with a series of tweets while still making light of her situation.

"4 all those that r asking, reporting & concern...Yes I am broke & unemployed. Just another dumb Celeb that doesn't know how 2 money manage," NeNe's Twitter post dated Aug. 21 reads. She posted another tweet after an hour which reads: "My priorities r all screwed up! I'm just a damn fool out here about to lose my house! Please start a Go Fund Me." Some fans began to speculate that NeNe's account was hacked, but she later confirmed that it was her and even asked for prayers from her followers.

Despite facing financial woes, NeNe shared a photo through her Instagram account showing her positive disposition. The image shows NeNe all smiles while seemingly out for a run. "Running out the hotel to pay this bill y'all know I ain't got no jobsssssss let me borrow 20$," she wrote in the caption.

Meanwhile, another "RHOA" star will be tying the knot after Shamea Morton finally got engaged to her boyfriend. Shamea confirmed the good news through her Instagram account with a romantic photo of her and her fiancé with the caption: "It's official, we are engaged!" The radio personality first met her beau Gerald Mwangi, who is originally from Kenya, at a lounge in Atlanta. Later in the weekend, the two met again at a cook-out where they both really hit it off. "We talked for hours and we've been inseparable ever since," Shamea said.
