‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Pinky Cole is facing another financial hurdle, as a finance company has asked a bankruptcy judge for permission to pursue remedies that could lead to the foreclosure of one of her rental properties in Georgia. The development comes amid her ongoing bankruptcy proceedings and months after reports of a creditor attempting to seize another property she owns.According to documents obtained by TMZ, Selene Finance LP filed a motion in Cole’s bankruptcy case on Thursday, claiming that she owes more than $164,000 on a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Atlanta area.
Finance company alleges mortgage payments have been missed since December 2025
In its filing, Selene Finance LP alleged that Cole had not made mortgage payments on the property since December 2025. The company has asked the bankruptcy court for permission to pursue several remedies, including steps that could eventually lead to foreclosure.However, Cole’s attorney, Jamie Christy, has clarified that the property is not her client’s primary residence but a rental home.Speaking to TMZ, Christy said, “This property is not Pinky’s home, but rather, a rental property. The property is being treated in the bankruptcy plan.”The attorney further described the lender’s move as “an impulsive move by the servicer” and said the motion was being reset.“The focus should be on Pinky righting her finances and growing her business to fund her plan of reorganization,” Christy added.The latest filing adds to the financial challenges facing Cole as she works through her bankruptcy case. She had previously gone to bankruptcy court to contest an attempt by a creditor to seize another rental property she owns.
