Kim Zolciak Talks Best Frienemy Status with NeNe

"We have a love-hate relationship," Kim Z says.

By Lauren Metz


It's no secret that Kim Zolciak and Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star NeNe Leakes know how to get under each other's skin (and wigs). Their verbal bashes are almost as big as Big Poppa's bank account. Yes, we said almost.

But alas, the two have hopped back on their friendship merry-go-round, and it seems all is well once again. Kim tells Essence magazine that their buddy-buddy Band-Aid will remain intact throughout the season, and no, we're not kidding.

When asked by Essence if they'll get closer as the season progresses, the "Google Me" singer replies, "Yeah, we had a great time this year."

However "great time" doesn't mean slumber parties and inquisitive rounds of Truth or Dare. Kim continues, "I've known NeNe for nine years. [We've] been through quite a bit of things. I read an article on NeNe saying she would never tell me her deepest darkest secrets, but we do share information. I can relate to some of the things she's going through. And then the next day we'll hate each other. I don't think I would tell her my deep darkest secrets because the next day she could tell me to go to hell... and then there goes my secrets. We don't have a very stable friendship so we don't share anything that's too, too personal with each other."

Kim admits she was initially nervous about accepting NeNe's olive branch, but the anxiety-inducing reunion (and the wine) helped patch things up. "I hadn't seen her in a long time. Whenever NeNe and I are back together and we're out having a drink, it's like we never stop talking. We always pick up right where we left off."

Ah, we're suckers for happy endings.
