kim and kandi

Kim Zolciak can’t stay away from the drama that goes on Bravo’s hit reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. Kim spoke with Essence.com upon her return from vacation in the Bahamas (w/ Big Poppa I presume). She clears up rumors about dating Black Men, NeNe’s book, and her gettin’ “wigged out”!

Check out excerpts from the intreview here:

ESSENCE.COM: Your first release, “Tardy for the Party,” was leaked on the Internet yesterday. What happened?
KIM ZOLCIAK: I’m super pissed off about it. I never released that song to Ryan Seacrest or anyone else. It was going to be on iTunes and I wanted people to see all the thought that went into it, along the timeline of the show so you can see me in the studio and watch me go through the whole process. This is just not how I wanted to release my first song. There’s a snake out there. I just have to figure out who it is.

ESSENCE.COM: NeNe’s new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice,” just came out. Have you read it?
ZOLCIAK: I have not read the book yet, but hell yeah, if she wrote about me, I’m going to read it. I mean, she had to write about me in order to sell the book. She told me, ‘Well, maybe you should read it on your way back from New York.’ So I don’t know what she wrote but I do wish her success and I’m happy for her.

ESSENCE.COM: You two came to blows a few months ago. There was a police report indicating that NeNe assaulted you. What happened?
ZOLCIAK: NeNe and I have decided to just move on from that. Yes, there was altercation but we’ve talked in great length about it and we’re just both on to bigger and better things like her book and my wig line. NeNe and I care about each other and because we do, sometimes emotions run a lot higher than if we didn’t care at all.

ESSENCE.COM: Speaking of the wig line, how far along are you with getting it out there?
ZOLCIAK: I felt like I took so much heat last year from wearing a hairpiece—which is comical because everyone on the show wears one. I just tried to turn a negative into a positive. I found that when I had no alternative and I had to wear a hairpiece, I couldn’t find the right color blonde. It was always both too harsh and trashy or the color was more brown than blonde and sometimes the synthetic hair can look shiny and fake. So I took all of these things and turned it into an incredible product. I have prototypes and now I’m looking for a manufacturer who will put them into mass production.

ESSENCE.COM: Can we go through some of these rumors that are out in the blogesphere? What about the one that the Bentley you drive doesn’t actually belong to you but to former NBA player Gerald Wilkins?
ZOLCIAK: My neighbor Damian is Gerald Wilkins’ son. He’s a dear friend of mine. Gerald’s wife is my real estate agent. I’ve never had a relationship with Gerald and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve met the man. The Bentley is in my name. You can pull the title. I bought it and it’s mine!
