A lien has been filed against Atlanta-area celebrity NeNe Leakes. The lien is apparently for almost $100,000 in unpaid state income taxes. This comes after receiving a much larger federal tax lien. From the Daily Mail:

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes' financial troubles continue to worsen as she was hit with a second tax lien in four months - this time for nearly $100,000.
Leakes, whose real name is Linnethia Monique Leakes, was hit with a state tax lien from the Georgia Department of Revenue for $95,232.92 on September 22 over unpaid taxes from 2014.
In July, the federal government also hit the 48-year-old reality star with a tax lien, threatening to seize her assets if she didn’t pay $824,366.01 in back federal taxes from the same year.
The state tax lien that was filed in September shows that Leakes originally owed $58,458, but it has grown with interest ($9,715.71), penalties ($15,317.61), collection fees ($11,691.60) and other costs.
If she does not pay her debt soon, the Department of Revenue will begin the process of seizing her assets and property.
The federal and state liens still remain active, meaning she has yet to pay off her debt...
