Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta sat down with Essence.com recently and talked about how she and the rest of girls are rallying behind Kandi Burruss in the wake of her ex-fiance AJ’s death earlier this month.

She also touched on her relationship with the guy we all know as “Big Papa” on the show. He had supposedly proposed to her and gave her this big, huge expensive rock for her birthday, but now she’s saying that she’s called off the engagement because she’s ready to commit and he led her to believe that he was, even though he clearly wasn’t.

ESSENCE.COM: So what’s the scoop? Are you or aren’t you still engaged to Big Papa?
ZOLCIAK: I am not engaged to Big Papa! I got a commitment ring last year and so when I got this new ring, I was led to believe that his divorce was final. Who gives someone a massive rock and makes this commitment if he wasn’t serious? I found out that I was still on the same merry-go-round. If there is one thing I have discovered about myself from doing this show it is that I’m just far too trusting. I’m actually dating someone new and I’m extremely happy. He’s my age, from California and cute as a button. I gave Papa almost four years of my life, so now I’m just trying to move on.

The ladies of the Real Housewives of Atlanta were given the opportunity to do their own individual alter ego photo shoots by one of ATL’s hottest photographers Derek Blanks, and the photos were revealed on last night’s episode of the Bravo reality series. The idea for everyone’s concepts came straight from NeNe who did a damn good job of matching everyone up with the right personalities.

Kim’s alter ego was a housewife and a mistress, which is a perfect fit for her since she really is messing around with someone else’s husband in real life (that Big Poppa dude). NeNe’s alter ego as a Magic City stripper also matched up to her own real life experience, because she wrote about taking her clothes off and dancing for dollars in her new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice.” Sheree’s split personality involved a bank robber and an innocent bystander at an ATM because well, Sheree likes money.

Out of everyone’s shoot, Lisa’s had to be the funniest and Kandi’s was the saddest. Lisa was portrayed as a “gangsta boo” (NeNe’s words, not ours) slash “biker chick” who knocked a cute little girl scout off of her bicycle and tried to steal her cookies. And Kandi played a careless (and emotional) alcoholic who decided to drink and drive and ended up running into someone, which also hits home for her because her ex fiancee’s nephew ended up in intensive care for over a month earlier this year following a head on collision involving drunk driving.

In all, everyone’s shoots turned out great! The ladies definitely played their parts well and the camera showed a lot of love to them

The Real (Messy) Housewives of Atlanta hit up the Ellen show Wednesday to promote their Bravo reality series and do what they do mess: bring drama to television. This time around Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak got into it after Ellen brought up Sheree pulling Kim’s wig. The two of them went back and forth about bounced checks, habitual lying, messing with married men, prostituting and all kinds of crazy junk. Ellen even got up out of her seat to sit between those two and suggested a game of “blindfolded musical chairs” before it got out of hand LMAO!

These heffas bring drama with them wherever they go and that damn Kim is always the common denominator! Continue reading for the video…

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta got into it. But that’s a common occurrence with those two, so that’s not why we’re posting this video. We’re posting this simply for this final line NeNe said after Kim repeatedly accused her of choking her outside of a Target back in April:

“Why you wanna bring this up and it happened in April? Take me to court ’cause you know we’re gonna sit in jail together baby! With wigs and Newports … that’s what we’re gonna do.”
