Kim Zolciak’s Assistant Responds to #RHOA “Free Sweetie” Campaign…

Feb, 28 2011 | Written by ATLien
When NeNe Leakes accused Kim Zolciak of treating her assistant, Sweetie Hughes, like a “slave” on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, there was a collective *sigh* heard throughout the internet. We already knew it was about to GO DOWN!

[click here to revisit that classic bus fight video!]

That classic bus fight between NeNe and Kim had their ‘housewives’ cast mate Phaedra Parks blogging about Race Relations, where she gave us a bit of background information on Kim & Sweetie’s relationship.

The “slave” allegation even prompted a “Free Sweetie” crusade that was launched by Atlanta radio host Rickey Smiley on Feb. 16 after NeNe called his morning show.

Now Sweetie says all that “slave” talk is ruining her life…

In the recent issue of Life&Style magazine where Kim shows off her pregnant belly in a 2 piece [click here for photos], Sweetie addresses how the “Free Sweetie” campaign has affected her life:

“They’re doing it for Black History Month, and it offends me,” Sweetie tells Life & Style.

“They have pastors calling into the radio station and praying for me. They’ve taken it too far. NeNe’s jealous that she’s not as close to Kim as I am. I’ve known Kim for 11 years, since I was a kid. Kim’s a great friend to me. NeNe’s traumatizing my life. She’s bringing hell to it.”

In other words… Sweetie does NOT want to be freed, so leave her the hell alone and let her live!

“Free Sweetie” quote of the Day:

As for Kim, she has sworn off NeNe and says they’ll never be friends again:

“I never want to speak to NeNe again. My assistant Sweetie is so upset about the whole thing, she’s beside herself,” Kim tells Life & Style. “NeNe has problems.”

Oh well… poor out a lil liquor for Kim & NeNe’s “friendship” (as if they ever had one)!

What do think about the “Free Sweetie” campaign? Is it still funny or has it gone too far?

  That pic with James Evans is so damn funny….killin myself
- VikkiLeighS
  
  I haven’t kept up with this season, so I don’t how Sweetie is being treated. As a one time joke it’s funny, but if it just keeps going and the girl is offended then let it go.
- Attorneymom
  
  Help me out, please. She is more offending by the "Free Sweetie" campaign than she is about being called a "Black b****" and treated in a disrespectful manner by some white folks. Blank stare.
  
  Lawd, Free Sweetie.
- Attorneymom
  
  Sweetie is more upset with NeNe Leakes for defending her than she is about her white employer treating in disrespectful and racist manner.
  
  Now that is some "Gone With The Wind" ish right there.
- Battergrl
  
  Eventhough Sweetie IS getting disrepected, she’ll except because of money, Kim knows this. Kim knows she can’t do this with most black people.
- Uguess
  
  I think Sweetie should have stayed behind the scenes. If people like amazon NeNe was not walking up on people . Maybe Kim would have not felt the need to have her around. However grown folks can address each other in ways we may not agree with and it has nothing to do with race. Hell I call my husband a Diva and trust he is all man. I hope Sweetie does not let all this negative chatter get to her. NEXT ! Help someone who really needs it! Get off the bus!
- shad
  
  is sweetie a boy?
- Rachel
  
  I don’t care how she feel! FREE SWEETIE!!! She a house n***a n don’t know WE’s FREE now gul. Masser done let us go u should join us. Dummie
- Mysonshine
  
  @Rachel – I am literally over here crying laughing – funny but not! lol
- LaKeshia @ Kreative Talk
  
  I never thought it was funny. Sweetie is grown and she knows that she is being disrespected for a dime and a whole lot of other folk are too, but its not by a white lady. I guess if she was being disrespected by blacks, then it would be okay, right? NO, it’s not okay, but why should I defend someone who clearly doesn’t care if she’s called a black bitch or not…
- John David
  
  "SWEEEEETTTTTIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!" ROTFLMAO!!!! yeah I’d be pretty pissed if I was listening to the radio and somebody called in praying for me…..Heavenly Father, please free Sweetie! For she knows not what she do! Give her the strength to move on, increase her territory! Amen…..yep that wouldnt sit right with me either….Still funny tho!
- Kyan
  
  @ Rachel girl you are a fool for that one…I’m over here rolling!!! I know my Co-Workers are like "What the hell is wrong with her"!
- superstar
  
  I guess I’m the only one here who watched this season and never took Kim seriously when it came to Sweetie. I didn’t think it was that bad and if it was Sweetie doesn’t strike me as the type to hold in what she’s feeling. They seem to know how to get along with each other. It’s just not that serious.
- Uguess
  
  Well I hope that was edited because now I feel sad for Sweetie. Kandi offer her a job at you clothes store or Pheadra at you funeral parlor.
- Kamalla
  
  LOL @Ugess
  
  Yeah I can see Sweetie working at Phaedra’s funeral parlor. Her job wouldn’t be much different. She’d be styling wig hair for a corpse just like she’s doing now. 😀
  
  Am I the only one that thinks Sweetie kinda ugly? She needs a makeover very badly and that pot belly is really unsightly for someone as small as her.
- Riann
  
  Sweetie is a DISGRACE and so is Kim HOEziack.
  Both of you will do anything for $$$$$$$$. Get over it, this is your own fault, runnin around being treated like "Chicken George" by Kim and BIG Papa…… Don’t try blammin Nene she shot called this "CORRECT" ,get it together!!!!!
- Tara
  
  @Raquel omg I need that laugh…ROFLMAO
- Walt
  
  Sweetie calls Kim her friend and Kim refers to Sweetie as her assistant! What the heck? Is Sweetie really that blind? Kim is playing her and treating her like a slave by not paying her! Don’t need friends like that!
- reita collins
  
  Initially I wasn’t mad at Kim,but when NeNe said that white Papa called her a black b**ch that’s what pisses me off.Just when did Sweetie decide it was okay for a white man to call her that?I’m sure he called her the n word too,and probably got real comfortable in saying it around other black women.I worked at a job where black thought nothing of white men saying derogatory remarks like that,whenever I heard it I went NeNe to the extreme on their azzes.Thank you NeNe!!
- reita collins
  
  As far as I’m concerned there is no amount of money worth that degradation,especially if you’re on national tv.Of course Sweetie feels bad but don’t blame it on NeNe.It’s all on her if she conducts herself like a slave.Wonder what else big Papa felt previliged to do.
- Riann
  
  @Raquel ……Girrrllll, my co-worker and I laughed soooo hard …..Damn !!! that was a good one ! LOL ~
- cc
  
  Free that munchin that’s holding up the sign from her dwarfed body. And please free Nene I mean Nono’s ghetto *ss because she is truly an ANGRY BLACK WOMAN!
- Sherry
  
  ROFLMBAO!!!!!! @Atlien & Rickey Smiley because this ish is just too funny, I can’t hardly write my words for laughing so hard.. First Sweeeeeeeeeeetieeeee look like a slave & those clips didn’t help!!! So get another job honey!! Damn who names their child Sweetie, it’s throwing me off.. But I can’t believe Sweetie is traumatized that other people actually think NeNe is right for once by the way she is being treated by Kim is not acceptable in this society & the 21st century, but she can handle being called a "slave"!!! I just be damn!! The money everyone collected to "free Sweetie" with, go get her a set of Roots & a DVD player to watch it with, because this chick can’t know her history or read or write..
  
  Peace!!
- Kendall
  
  At first I thought Nene needed to go sit down somewhere until it came out that Papa called Sweetie a black b****. Someone would’ve had to pull me off of him after that nonsense. Not gonna lie, we all put up with a certain amount of BS if the money’s good, but she’s starting to look like a walking Paul Mooney joke.
- Liz
  
  Sweetie is an adult, she can FREE her own damn self!
- KoatedKandie
  
  Nene is the slave with that Moose-animal face. You went from stripping to being paid to be STUPID. You should be freed! Big Man Ne-he! There is not enough money these shows could pay me to bring my own race down.
- ON NENE’s side
  
  Get off of NeNe’s ass, the girl told the truth about what she saw when those 2 ugly cheating whores, little papa, and bald headed wig wearing monkey, called that ugly stupid trick I mean ass-istant dummy(sweetie) a black bitch and how that bald headed wig wearing monkey called her name on her bed with a microphone sounded like she was calling a pig SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE! That ugly stupid trick should be glad that NeNe’s big tall ass came to her rescue, to knock some sense into the bald headed wig wearing monkey with a wig ho.
- joanne
  
  I think Ru Paul and Lawrence called it right….Kim and Sweetie horse around like best friends only using more modern "rag"words…I think Kim is truly color blind….However, what about the remark that the girls all agreed with that there are certain things you can’t say to a black woman…betcha if they had said it to Kim she would have said "what black woman, I was just horsing around with Sweetie. What black woman is right – no prejudice – no black woman just plain – woman….so who are the prejudiced ones here????? C’mon Kandi you’re my favorite and I know you can see the truth to this.
