The rumors are percolating about Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes being fired or close to being fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now sources are revealing why. NeNe and Kim are in the midst of contract negotiations with Bravo for next season — and a major point of contention is the electric bill. We’re told the ladies are sick of having to pay giant electric bills out of their own pocket after the show tapes at their homes and drains tons of juice from their sockets. This seems like a fair reason to fight. The electric bill should be a RHOA expense. My question is, where are the other ladies? Something like this should be a fight for the entire cast unless— its not that simple. Knowing Kim and NeNe, its not. We know Lisa Wu Hartwell and Sheree Whitfields homes were foreclosed on and NeNe was evicted. They don’t have the luxury to pay electric bills that their employer generated. Maybe the overall check outweighs a Greystone bill. Click for the other demands from NeNe and Kim Continue reading Kim and NeNe fighting for electic bills and upgrades…
Okay first lets set the stage….you know that NeNe thinks she’s the shizz and nothing, let alone the show can go on without her right??? Remember Tardy For The Party? She didn’t think it would be a success if she was on it……wrong! Anyway, The “Real Housewives” of Atlanta will be back for a third season but NeNe and Kim might not be.
According to a source, NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak are demanding more money to appear on the show than Bravo cares to dish out — and producers are so fed up with their diva-esque requests, they’re quietly making plans to move on without the two.
“Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show,” says the insider. “They’re trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they’re gearing up to make a major move in the third season.” Continue reading NeNe Leakes Kim Zolciak getting the boot from Atlanta Housewives
Kim Zolciak tells ESSENCE.com how she and the other housewives are supporting their friend through this sad and awful time in her life, why she missed Kandi’s comeback performance, and puts to bed the rumors about her engagement to Big Papa.
ESSENCE.COM: How is Kandi doing? Have you spoken to her? KIM ZOLCIAK: I spoke with her mom and texted her just to let her know I’m here. I was one of the first to find out and I called the other ladies. Everybody has been fantastic but it’s unfortunate that it takes a tragedy to bring us all together. We were able to put all our stuff on the back burner and come together for Kandi. It’s not something that I ever thought would happen, no matter how tragic the situation.
ESSENCE.COM: What was your interaction with A.J like? ZOLCIAK: He actually called me last week and I never called him back, which sucks. I adored him. He was such a great guy. He was actually with Big Papa the night I got engaged. I hated that people have this bad impression of him because he had so many children. He was a great father and he was great with Riley [Kandi's 7-year-old daughter] and he loved Kandi.
ESSENCE.COM: There’s been some buzz about why you didn’t show up to Kandi’s performance. What happened? ZOLCIAK: My daughter Brielle was sick and that’s when swine flu was going rampant. I don’t have a nanny at night. I told Kandi I wasn’t able to come. I’m not that kind of friend to just not show up. Kandi has been an incredible friend to me, and the way it came across was that I didn’t make any effort and that’s just not true. Continue reading Kim Zolciak Says Its Over Again With Big Papa and Talks Kandi
Kandi just lost the man she loved and had plans to marry to violence. I feel so sorry for her. This is what she wrote on Twitter about AJ’s death and her pain: I”m just in one of those moods where i dont wanna talk, i dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. i just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone. I could never n a million years imagine this happening. please pray for AJ’s children. that’s who im the most concerned 4. I’m bout 2 giv my swollen eyes sum rest now. i just wanted to say thanks 2 every1 for their prayers. I gotta get up & go 2 my uncle’s funeral.
Let’s be serious, we like to laugh at NeNe and talk about her but there is absolutely nothing that I want to hear from her musically. How are you gonna hate Kim so much but you want to be involved in her project so bad that you make an ass out of yourself?
NeNe stepped in front of the camera to portray a pole-dancing stripper and a reluctant socialite tipper. Kim chose to pose as a mistress and her lover’s scorned wife at a Laundromat. Kandi, whose friends were involved in a drunk-driving accident, decided send a message, portraying an intoxicated clubber who got behind the wheel and her victim. Lisa Wu Hartwell poses as a punk and a goody-goody Girl Scout. Making light of her much-hyped “seven-figure” divorce settlement, the She by Sheree designer posed as a fashionista and a robber.
