RHOA Newbie Pinky Cole Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Over $1.4 Million Debt

Published: Tuesday 3rd Mar 2026 by Malik Davis

TheReal Housewives of Atlanta newbie Pinky Cole might need a new tagline because this season, she’s adding “Chapter 11” to it 

Full story below…

The founder of Slutty Vegan has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing approximately $1.4 million in government and tax debt.

This move comes after what’s being described as a $10 million corporate crisis that forced her restaurant chain to downsize from 14 locations to just five.

Cole is set to debut as a full-time cast member on the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ this April, meaning her business challenges could very well play out in front of Bravo cameras.

But if you think Pinky is embarrassed, think again.

She took to Instagram with humor, posting a funny video addressing people labeling her “broke.”

In true Pinky fashion, she leaned into the moment.

Safe to say, this next chapter might be about rebuilding, and if Housewives’ history tells us anything, she may well have secured herself another season with this latest twist.

    Show will make her more broke! Unless she shops at GoodWill and friends drive her everywhere. Word is, RHOA “forces” you to play up your lifestyle for a 🍑.
