AceShowbiz - NeNe Leakes has weighed in on internet speculation that Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were faking their divorce as a way to get her back on TV. Responding to the theory circulating online, the former "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star said she doubts that her former co-star would go to those lengths just to return to the show.
The 55-year-old shared her two cents on the speculation when met at LAX in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 15. "It makes great TV but I wouldn't personally want to act like I'm having some issue with my husband just to get back on TV. So hopefully that's not what it is," she told TMZ.
The former "Glee" star believes that Kim didn't have to do that because she always has a place on the Bravo series, explaining, "I'm sure she'll get back on the show whether she did that or not. I'm sure they will allow her to come back over and over again."
NeNe, who previously revealed she reached out to Kim amid her split from the retired NFL star, said she "hopes" that the couple can reconcile for good. "It's a marriage so you have a lot of highs and lows. Hopefully they're gonna work it out, they have a family," the former SWAGG Boutique owner said.
NeNe shared that Kim "wasn't happy" during her split from Kroy, but she wishes that the "Don't Be Tardy..." alum is in "better place" now. She went on comparing the couple's "messy" marital drama and their sudden reconciliation to her own tumultuous friendship with Kim through the years.
Kim filed for divorce from Kroy in May amid reports of their financial issues. Things got nasty as she accused him of using drugs, while he alleged that she had gambling issues.
In July, they pulled the plug on their divorce after they were spotted going to church together with their kids. Kim filed "a dismissal without prejudice of answer and counterclaim" in the Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia. "They've been working on things," a source told Page Six. "They've been talking more lately and getting along, so she decided to call it off."
Kim confirmed her return to "RHOA" in June. She posted on Instagram pictures of her posing with her cast mates, Lisa Wu, Sheree Whitfield and Deshawn Snow. She will likely return as a friend of the housewives in the currently airing season 15.
