‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’: NeNe Leakes claims Kim Zolciak was fired

Did Kim Zolciak quit the “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 5 or was she fired from the hit bravo series? The answer to that question seems to differ depending on who you ask.

When the news was first confirmed that Kim would not be finishing up her time on season 5, she said that she left the show because of pressures to fly when she was 8 months pregnant. The reality star revealed that there was just too much drama going on (even for a real housewives show) concerning her decision not to get on a plane at 8 months to fly to Anguilla to attend her co-star Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas renew their wedding vows. Kim told Twitter followers that she would not be finishing out the season but that she’d like be back next season.

Now one of Zolciak’s co-stars, NeNe Leakes has spoken up and posted a series of messages on her Twitter account that makes it sound a lot like Kim got fired from the Bravo series – not that she left of her own free will. Here are some of the messages that NeNe posted:

“It’s so funny how this chick wants people 2 think she quit the show! The producers no longer wanted 2 work wit u! Good bye wit the lies”, “None of the girls or producers wanted 2 work wit her! Saving face like all the other ex housewives! U were FIRED! Good bye.” and “U had an existing deal that the honored! Girl bye! Keep it 100”.

Kim has already responded to the claims that she was fired through her Twitter account, saying that it is absolutely not true and that she was not fired. She wrote;

“I definitely was NOT fired from RHOA I can guarantee u that!!! My spinoff last year was a 1 time thing so this spinoff is brand new! Bye hater!!!!”, “You are so mad u cant stand it & hold your anger in, u are suppose to have all this stuff going on but ur staying tuned into me #iloveit” and “Makes no sense to get fired and get a promotion! #staytunedhater.”

Whatever the truth is the fact of the matter still stands – Kim will not be featured on the remaining episodes of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 5 which is a total bummer considering how much fun she brings to the show/
