'You can lose someone to cancer like that,' NeNe said snapping her fingers.

NeNe later told Gregg's sister that for the first time since he got sick, she 'crashed' on that day. She said she had tried to be as strong as possible for him.

"I mostly keep strong," said NeNe in a moment of weakness. Adding, "He is definitely a grouch. I'm so close to him, all the pressure is on me. I'm worn out like a freakin' car tire."

It's not the first time Nene has accused Greg of being mean to her. Last year, the distraught star took to Twitter to call him out for his painful behavior.

She had tweeted, "I would just think [thinking emoji] if i have or had cancer, i would see life so differently! Not being mean, grouchy and evil for no real reason! But that’s me. Pray for me.”
