RHOA Star Kelli Potter Faces Losing Money Over Massive Debt

Kelli Potter, known for her role on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (RHOA), is at the center of a financial scandal. According to recent court documents, she risks having her bank accounts seized due to an unpaid debt of over two hundred thousand dollars. The creditor has already started sending subpoenas to banks to determine if the star has funds that can be garnished to cover the debt.

The lawsuit against Kelli and her restaurant Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles was filed by ARF Financial back in 2025. Since the celebrity did not respond to the lawsuit, the court issued a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $217,301, and this amount grows daily with interest. Now the creditor is actively searching for Potter’s assets to enforce the debt collection.

Kelli’s representative has already commented on the situation. He stated that the debt arose from a business loan that Kelli Potter and her ex-husband Mark Ferrell took out more than five years ago while they were still married. According to the lawyer, this issue was allegedly raised during the divorce proceedings, where Kelli insisted that Mark should be responsible for the payment, but he denied these claims.

“We are confident that this legal matter will be rightfully resolved, but as of now, Kelli hasn’t been officially served,” the representative added. Nevertheless, the creditor has already sent subpoenas to various banks, which is a standard procedure before seizing accounts.

This is not the first financial and family conflict in Kelli’s life. As previously reported, she and Mark Ferrell have been embroiled in court battles over child support for years. Now, the business loan debt has been added to the mix, making the situation even more complicated.

For Kelli, who rose to fame through her participation in the popular reality show, such a turn of events could be a serious blow to her image. Fans of the show are used to seeing her in luxurious interiors and at social events, but now the star will have to deal with debts and possibly find ways to save her business.

Lawyers note that a default judgment is just the first step. If Kelli does not challenge it soon, the creditor will be able to garnish funds from her accounts and seize property. However, the star still has a chance to change the situation if she provides the court with convincing evidence of her position.

Meanwhile, Kelli Potter’s debt continues to grow, and her reputation may suffer from financial troubles. Hopefully, she will find a way out of this difficult situation and maintain face before her fans.
