Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s Well-Wishes Toward NeNe Leakes’ Husband Strike Sour Note with Fans

When “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes asked for prayers for her husband as he underwent a lengthy surgery, many of her fellow RHOA stars lent their support. That included former RHOA cast member Kim Zolciak-Biermann and fans were not here for it.

“My hunni is having what we hope and pray is his last surgery towards a full recovery today!” Leakes began her entreaty to fans when Gregg Leakes was going under the knife. “It will be a long surgery so we are asking you to pray for the surgeon’s hands, pray for Gregg’s comfort please! Prayers, strength, peace and kindness for myself, his children and family during this time! Amen (come on pray warriors🙌🏾) Lord i tell ya, sometimes you never know what a person is going thru! I will update you all as much as i can on my insta story.”

Among many well-wishes, Zolciak-Biermann shared a comment letting her frenemy know she was sending the Leakes positivity.

“Sending prayers. light, love and positive energy your way❤️” the “Don’t Be Tardy” star wrote.”

But fans didn’t think she needed to say anything, given her rocky relationship with NeNe.

“you had to hijack this, didn’t you?!”

“she need to have a seat.”

“messy as hell. A true sissy.”

“Nene and Gregg will be fine without kimzolciak’s prayers.”

Leakes and Zolciak-Biermann have famously been on the outs for the past few years. The duo even tried to mend their broken friendship during the tenth season of RHOA last year.

The issue at heart was Zolciak-Biermann’s daughter, Brielle, filming a roach allegedly crawling around Leakes’ home. Leakes fired off on Instagram, accusing Brielle and her mother of being “racists.” Kim defended her daughter and dismissed the accusations.

Yet despite the two trying to hash things out during a session with a psychic, the Leakes and Zolciak-Biermann remained at an impasse.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
