Real Housewives of Atlanta News: Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak to Star in New Show
After clashing during the first five seasons of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak are reuniting as the two will be hitting the road for a new reality show. The show titled "NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches" will see the two ladies leaving Atlanta and making their way across the country.
Years after they bickered on RHOA, the two first reconciled in 2013, after they both tweeted about having an emotional conversation where they declared a truce.
At the time, Leakes wrote on Facebook, "Couldn't believe I had the best chat with Kim Zolciak yesterday. Then took a moment to reflect and it made me cry. This is too much."
In a recent interview with E! News, Leakes and Zolciak said that they couldn't wait to work together again.
"Well, one of the things I'm most excited about is working with Kim, just the two of us," Leakes said. "I just left 'Housewives' where I was working with like, six monsters."
Though the two had their ups and downs in the past, Leakes said that they're now in a good place.
"Working on a show like [Real Housewives] tears friendships apart," she revealed. "It's hard."
"It will be good not having anyone interfering with NeNe and I," said Zolciak. "We're back to where we started 12 years ago, no other noise. No other people talking nonsense. It will just be her and I and we have a really good time."
Both ladies said that being on the new show is an opportunity for them to get away from the "Real Housewives" drama.
"People get tired of watching the drama," said Zolciak. "We're just going to have fun. It will be good for me to get away, all the kiddos, get a break."
No premiere date has been announced for "NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches" yet.
