The Real Housewives of Atlanta hasn’t launched its third season yet, but one storyline that apparently will continue is the relationship between buxom blond Kim Zolciak and “Big Papa,” her not-yet-divorced, not-yet-seen boyfriend.
“I’m with Big Papa,” Zolciak told Atlanta radio station Q100’s The Bert Show — albeit timidly. She also said he could still make an appearance on the show. However, that’s assuming Zolciak can come to an agreement with producers on her contract, which she said is still “not signed.” She admits she’s holding out for more money: “They need to up it … It was very dramatic and very traumatic last year. I’ve got to at least get paid what it’s worth.” Continue reading Kim Zolciak says she’s still with Big Papa
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.

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.
