Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kelli Potter could have money taken from her bank accounts after a creditor secured a $217,301 default judgment against her and Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles.
ARF Financial has subpoenaed several banks while searching for funds that may be used to collect the growing debt, TMZ reports. The subpoenas do not mean money has already been removed from the reality star’s accounts.
The company sued Kelli and her Atlanta-area restaurant in 2025 over an allegedly unpaid business loan but Kelli reportedly did not respond to the lawsuit, which led to the court to entering the default judgment. Interest still continues to accrue.
Kelli’s representative told TMZ that the loan was obtained more than five years ago with her former husband, Mark Ferrell, while the two were still married. The representative said she addressed the obligation during their divorce and believes Ferrell should be responsible for paying it. Ferrell has denied her claims.
“We are confident that this legal matter will be rightfully resolved, but as of now, she hasn’t been officially served,” her representative told the outlet.
Kelli and Ferrell have also spent years battling in court over child support.
The restaurateur joined RHOA after building Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles into a popular dining destination and now, the business is named alongside her in a judgment that gives ARF Financial the ability to pursue legal collection methods.
