  • Kim Zolciak Reunites with Big Poppa + Confirms 6th Atlanta Housewife [VIDEO]

    Mar, 19 2010 | Written by ATLien

    By now I’m sure you all are aware that all 5 of the Atlanta housewives have been confirmed to return for the 3rd season after the ladies appeared together publicly during Bravo’s 2010 Upfront party last week for the announcement.

    Kim Zolciak, who’s rumored to have been exploring her lesbian side with a new boo, sat down with a Jacksonville, FL news station yesterday to say that she and Big Poppa, her married “on again/off again” boyfriend, are now ON again after their brief separation.

    During the interview, Kim showed off the “engagement” ring her married boo gave her and stated that we may even be seeing him on air during the 3rd season. Continue Reading…

    Break Ups: Kim Zolciak Says “Bye-Bye” to Big Poppa

    Oct, 9 2009 | Written by ATLien

    kim-zolciak

    In the most recent epispode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak sported a brand new “engagement” ring from her married boyfriend. As everyone silently giggled at the absurdity of Kim actually believing she was gonna marry a married man, she beamed with joy and bounced around as if it was all good. Now, since I don’t see Kim as being the smartest bird in the bunch, I can only assume that either Big Poppa’s wife got at Kim or her sugar daddy finally came to his senses. Whatever the case, Kim just revealed to Essence Magazine that the *cough* engagement is off and she now has a new boo:

    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.

    What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from that experience?

    I need to learn not to take everything at face value. I believe everything that people tell me. I wanted to believe that he was going through the steps for us to be together. I’m not a home wrecker because my husband did it to me. I would never intentionally do that to someone. I was planning my future and so excited because he was the love of my life. But as time went on, I started to wonder, why is this taking so long? I realized that I needed to really sit down and figure this out.

    Have you ever had any interaction with his wife? Continue Reading…

    Kim Zolciak’s Wig, Mouth & Nipples Protest for NOH8 Campaign

    Sep, 4 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Kim Zolciak NOH8 campaign

    Real Houswives of Atlanta “star” Kim Zolciak seems to have fulfilled her dreams of posing nude for Playboy recently in her NOH8 campaign photoshoot. Wearing only her signature wig and duct tape, Kim is photographed lovingly shielding her nipples from the hateful words of the opponents of California’s proposition 8.

    “I feel so strongly about gay rights for several reasons, most importantly two of my family members are gay and my Uncle John was personally affected. He was denied rights that all heterosexual Americans are allowed. I believe that regardless of your gender you should be able to choose who your partner is, whether it be same-sex or not. I am all for people being happy. I posed topless to make a LOUD statement to help this wonderful cause. Thank you NOH8 Campaign!” – Kim Zolciak

    You tell em’ girl! Read more about the NOH8 Campaign HERE.

    Big Poppa’s Crib…

    Aug, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    main-6

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Season Two) is on an poppin and people are still wondering who Kim Zolciak’s Big Papa’s is. Well I tried to tell you a while back but in case you couldn’t read between the lines, Big Poppa is believed to be none other than Georgia real estate investor Lee Najjar.? Big Poppa came to his senses and kicked Kim Zolciak to the curb so now she’s single and fancy free while he’s home doing family stuff with the wife and kids.? It’s kinda sad though…especially since Kim is stuck with his name tatted on her ring finger.

    Recently MTV’s Teen cribs featured Najjar’s expansive palatial estate with his two youngest children, Jamen (15) and Katelin (18), providing the tour of the insanely posh home.“Big Papa” himself and wife Kimberly even made brief appearances throughout the episode.

    According to HomesOfTheRich the 16,000 + square feet home is located on W Paces Ferry Road NW in Atlanta, GA and has a massive foyer with grand sweeping staircase (Katelin says she will walk down these steps the day she gets married), a huge ballroom, a gourmet kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, numerous bedrooms suites, a recording studio, an amazing home theater with a wrought iron door, a swimming pool, a tanning bed room, a game room with ping pong table, a gentleman’s club with special filtration for smoke, a beauty and nail salon, a massage room, a moroccan room complete with a hooka pipe, a massive pool House, a basketball court, and an outdoor hibachi grill. The family cars include several Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Range Rover. (source)

    Audio ~ RHOA’s Kim Zolciak Cheats on Her Married Boyfriend

    May, 10 2009 | Written by ATLien

    (PhotoSource)

    Kim Zolciak & Kandi Burress of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta hit up Atlanta radio station Q-100 last week to hype the upcoming season of the show. I don’t even know why Kandi was there. Possibly to only add a lil color to the room since she didn’t really say much. I’m disappointed too…cause I wanted to hear more from her. The hosts seemed to be more interested in Kim anyway and didn’t even try to hide it. They inquire about Kim’s Big Papa tatt and she promptly refused to show it. She did, however show off her “engagement” ring that she says serves as their commitment to each other (although he’s still married…yada yada yada). Kim got the show crunk by clowing her former publicist/webmaster Jonathan Jaxson (aka ~ the guy who held her website hostage for non-payment). Jaxson still runs the site and recently put up the following message:

    “Real Housewive’s of Atlanta’s” Kim Zolciak decided to blast me on-air today via The Bert Show on Q100 in Atlanta and I decided to not let her have the last word.

    Especially when the wig wearing B*TCH had the balls to lie about me and expect me not to respond!!!

    Like me or not, the truth must come out some where.

    I really hope Big Poppa gets the picture soon. She is constantly running around on him. I had to lie for her too many times. He is a great guy. I hope he realizes her tactics.

    For goodness sake, I guess you can expect too much from a former stripper of “The Cheetah!” (Source)

    For the world to hear, live and on the air…Jaxson spills the beans about Kim and puts all her Big Papa business on blast! From Kim’s responses (or lack thereof) it seems that Jaxson has the upper hand. All I know is, Kim better invest in better wig soon. She’s gonna need it if Big Poppa’s checks stop coming and she’s forced to return to that pole…

    Listen to the full Q-100 interview, as well as Jaxson’s video response to the matter below:

    Kim Zolciak: The Real Atlanta “Housewife” Revealed

    Nov, 25 2008 | Written by ATLien

    Kim Zolciak, aka the token white chick on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has been really vocal lately about her disappointment of the show. ?This chick has blamed everyone from Bloggers to make-up artists for her poor portrayal stating that it’s not her fault that she looked 50 and not 29. ?Honestly, I don’t think any amount of makeup could fix what 20 years of smoking can do to a face…but that’s just me.

    On claiming to be 29:

    I?m not a liar. You can put that in plain English. Integrity is most important to me. I?m actually 30 now, but I have to agree about some of the footage ? I did not do own my makeup the majority of the time and there?s one instance where I was getting makeup done for a photo shoot and I looked 50. It was terrible. But you pound on that black eye shadow and big red lips, what do you expect? I?m sorry they feel that way, but the reality is I am 30 ? and you can take it or leave it.

    On Her awful singing:

    The singing in the studio was horrific. What was that? It made for good television. We had been in the studio hours and hours that day and most people know your producer doesn?t sing or stand next to you. He?s on the soundboard. So it made for good television, but my album will speak for itself.

    Kim also blamed the show for the breakup of her “engagement” to a married man. ?She tried to clean it up by comparing her situation to Sheree’s (in that Big Papa has been estranged from his wife – but not divorced) and alluded to the fact that us “bloggers” got it right when we revealed the his identitfy.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
