‘You Look Like Kim Zolciak’: Nene Leakes Accused of Looking Like Foe in New Wig, Claps Back

Nene Leakes’ giddiness about her transformed wig looks hit a snag Wednesday when fans decided they were not feeling her new hair.

“OMG you guys…my Wig game has totally changed! Thanks to this new wig company called @colormanewigs that hasn’t even launched yet. …..All your stylist gotta do is put that bad boy on ya. They are launching Labor Day weekend. I’m just glad i got a chance to try them before the crazy rush,” Leakes excitedly wrote in part.

But while “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star was thrilled about her new, lighter and longer look, her fans felt it made her resemble her foe Kim Zolciak-Biermann.

“it looks good, but Kim Z always says you copy everything she has & now you have the same hair too 🤷🏼‍♀️”

“Looks like Kim Zolciack 😩 no hating. You look good NeNe 💯”

“Wow never thought I’d see the day with Nene wearing Kim Zolciak wigs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”

“My first thought was Kim!!🤣🤣🤣 No nene pick a different style!! ❤️Ya!!”

“Kim Z did say you were trying hard to look like her. At the time I didn’t see it but yea…..”

“What in the mr. potato head Nose and kim Zolciak wig is going on here 😂😂😂 and Hell nah you are not spanish don’t disrespect us like that 🤔👏🤷‍♀️🙄.”

It was the last remark that led Leakes to hit back at one of her followers.

“You mad? Cry me a river b—hhhhhhh,” Leakes replied.

While Leakes hasn’t been seen with Zolciak in a while, it seems the pair’s past issues may have been put to rest. Back in May when Leakes attended the Kentucky Derby, a photo of her in a classic derby hat that she shared on Twitter captured Zolciak’s attention. She liked the tweet, leading fans to believe it was a phony interaction.

“Because she on the outs with everyone else so she goes back to old faithful.”

“Righttt. When nene realizes all the other doors are closed right…”

That came nearly a year after Zolciak wished Leakes and her husband Gregg Leakes well as he battled colon cancer.

Before they made up, however, the two have clashed throughout the seasons of “RHOA.” One of the last major blows came when Zolciak’s oldest daughter, Brielle, recorded a roach that was supposedly crawling in Leakes’ basement. As a result, Leakes tore into Brielle and her mother on Instagram and called them “racists.” Zolciak stepped in to take up for her family and downplayed Leakes’ claims of racism.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
