  • Atlanta Housewives Promote Racial Unity + Derek J’s Shoe Battle

    Jun, 4 2009 | Written by ATLien

    dsc_0748Spotted @ FreddyO

    Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie Kandi Buress was spotted partying with fellow castmate Kim Zolciak about a week ago. Apparently the two “housewives” completed some sort of photoshoot that showcased their love for each other by displaying the unity of Black & White. *sheds tear* How beautiful… [insert side-eye here].? In case you haven’t noticed, Kim is the only Caucasian castmate on the Atlanta show while the other “Real Housewife of…” shows have an all White/European/Italian..i.e. non-Black cast.?? In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter since the shows actually portray ALL of them in a crazy “A”zz negative light but I guess there had to be some sort of obvious display of racial unity…

    dsc_0737It’s cute…but where are the other “housewives”

    I did happen to spot Sheree?Whitfield in the crowd but it appears she just stopped by on her way to the mall.

    And I must not forget the FABULESS-NESS that is…. Derek J! It wouldn’t be a real party without him and his outlandish outfits! Plus, when I read that he and Kim had a shoe battle…it was a done deal!

    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 Settles With Publicist + Hangs Out With Her “Real” Friends

    Apr, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Atlanta Housewife without a husband Kim Zolciak recently settled her monetary dispute with her publicist Jonathan Jaxson (pictured above). In case you forgot, here’s a summary: Jaxson filed a lawsuit against Kim, claiming that she owed him money and had breached their contract for his services. Jaxon also hijacked Kim’s blog posting an entry stating that she was basically a deadbeat.? Kim, in turn, filed suit against Jaxson claiming retaliation. Blah…Blah…Blah… Still confused? Click Here to read full story….

    Anyway, the two have resolved their differences and Jaxson even made one more post to her website before taking the site offline March 30th:

    My former client Kim Zolciak and I have settled our differences which includes voluntarily dismissing all pending legal claims against one another. Our past grievances were due to a misunderstanding that regrettably got blown out of proportion. Going forward, I wish Ms. Zolciak the very best with respect to her acting and overall?entertainment endeavors.? (Source)

    I hate to say it but I know most people think it anyway…so eff it! I’m just gonna say it…Kim Zolciak is the token white chick on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta and doesn’t even really hang out with the rest of the crew! While the other chicks at least pretend to hang out with each other, Kim seems to be always photographed alone or with her BFF Jodi who follows her dayum near everywhere. They were even captured recently by TMZ on their way back to Atlanta from…?? wherever. Since Sheree?and NeNe seemed to have resolved their beef, it’ll be interesting to see where Kim actually fits in this season.

    Peep the video below as well as more recent photos of Kim out partying it up with Jody & the crew under the cut:

    Kim Zolciak Blogs about Dallas Austin & Her Hair Piece

    Jan, 28 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Kim Zolciak from The Real Housewives of Atlanta recently went to her blog to address what’s been going on with her *cough* “singing” career. She stressed that she is still working towards and album even though Dallas Austin dissed her. The blonde headed diva also went into overdrive about her fake “A”zzzz hair.

    My single “Tightrope” is/was owned by Dallas Austin. He apparently felt ill towards me after seeing the show. And I would have to agree that the footage made us both look rather ridiculous.

    However, Dallas spoke out in a negative way towards me and obviously I will no longer be working with him. I have since connected with some of the music industry’s greats in preparing my first single. I am scheduled to return to the studio with a better focus soon. But, it will most likely be around the time filming starts for Season 2 (next month). So you will likely have to wait to hear the finished product when Season 2 airs sometime this fall.

    Fake Hair & Fighting: The Real Housewives Reunion Special

    Nov, 26 2008 | Written by ATLien

    If you missed Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special, you should be beating yourself right now…or at least checking to see when it’ll air again! 😆 The fights were fantastic and the tidbits that were revealed were priceless. ?Ne-Ne revealed Kim as the true “low budget b*tch” as she (Kim) was the first of the crew to begin spewing profanity. ?Lisa revealed that she can fight with the best of ’em. ?Sheree revealed that she and NeNe were once great friends and seemed to be leaning towards being “friendly” again. DeShawn, revealed that she ain’t the one to be making a fool of herself on camera, as she was the only one who really “kept it classy” (as Sheree would say).

    One major item to note is when Kim claims that she wears that big “A”ssed blonde wig because she once had Cancer…almost had cancer…thought she had cancer. ?She touched a bit on “Big Papa” but of course, we already have that one down pat (Click Here if you missed Big Papa’s coming out party). One thing that I found interesting is that Kim mentioned their relationship would be revealed “next season”…who cares about her. ?I’m just ecstatic that there will be another season of this madness!! 🙂

    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?
