'Housewife' Kim Zolciak's Wigs Cost $12,000 Per Month (VIDEO)

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Kim Zolciak and Nene Leakes visited Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night. They didn't make up, but they had a friendly dispute about the origins of the 'Tardy for the Party' lyrics (Kim's 9-year-old daughter was only partially responsible) and talked about the cost of Kim's hair ($12,000 a month, but less now that she is starting a wig line).

Kimmel also asked Nene a question from his mother, who is a big fan of the show: did Nene's biological father surface just so he could be on television?

"I don't know that he's my biological father. He hasn't taken a DNA test," Nene said. "I just suspect that he is." Nene and Kimmel talked about doing a DNA test on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'

The 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunion show airs at 10 next Thursday on Bravo.

[lilnyc]

I can only HOPE that this beef is as FAKE as these 2. If not, they're both pathetic excuses for adulthood.

[lmvd3]

And she still looks like CR ap.

[prostock69]

Yeah, she needs to ask for a refund...lol.

[mz muni]

she doesnt look like crap not wen dat gay man did her hair dat time but any other time i cud agree wit u

[jaslyn]

This is the worst of the HW shows. They are a voyeuristic pleasure because you think you're looking into other people's lives (NY HW) This show however is such a train wreck because non of these women has a smidge of common sense or intelligence, and it becomes unwatchable. They drink from morning until night and have nothing else in their lives but to bicker; a little like Big Brother. Scenarios ensue that would never happen if any of them actually had a life.

[TrueThis]

.....but their rating are very high, I guess people like the drama.

[kcinpa]

This show should be called "The Real Broke Housewives of Atlanta" : http://jezebel.com/5110249/4-out-of-5-real-housewives-of-atlanta-are-actually-broke
Don't believe the hype.

I reside in the Atlanta area, I'm African American and every day I pray that I don't run into any of the people on this show, as I would not want anyone I know to assume that I have anything to do with any of them. A friend asked me to watch the show with her because it's such a mesmerizing "dramady." The personalities featured on the show - the 5 alleged "housewives," Dwight and all of his compadres - are the talk of the town and 99% of the conversations focus on how much of an embarassment these clowns are for all of us. Even my fifteen year old daughter and her friends are mortified by the thought that the rest of the nation sees these characters as a reflection on Black Atlanta. With all of the stories from the African American experience that are worth telling, the fact that the producers consider this to be the one everyone should see is telling. For many of us, this show's cancellation can't happen soon enough.

Worry not. Vapid, shallow people come in all colors from all locales. Anyone capable of thinking for themselves realizes this....

[rowzeer]

True, but when these are the some of the few images you see of AA women it gives the impression they're all like that when they aren't. I understand exactly what you're talking about, Les.

[liberalinaredstate]

Here Here! Personally I think ALL Reality shows should be charged with depraved indifference to life. I don't understand the appeal.

[MarieNat]

LOL! "Depraved indifference". Fanned.

[BethS]

I often ask myself-why are you watching this ignorance? The answer-I just can't believe it-and so I have become addicted to astonishment! How could this show even happen-in fact all of the Housewives from all of the cities are first cousins to all of the Bridezillas who Wife Swap and date Real and Chance!

Tardy for the Party was written by that older country guy on season one. Why are they now saying the daughter wrote it? More lies from Kim?

[lighthouser41]

Since Kim is a known pathological liar, I really doubt her wigs cost $12,000 a month. After all, this is the same person said she lost her hair because she thought she had cancer. She probably only wears wig so that she can look like the Barbie doll she so idolizes.

[MarieNat]

Yeah, I sorta doubt that claim myself.

[lmvd3]

Why then, does she always wear the same one??? I also have my doubts. She certainly cut all expenses when she went for the lowest budget implants.

[tploomis]

I need to start a wig rental business!

[SeriouslySarah]

Also, I would think Big Poppa has to be embarrassed to be engaged to a chick who wears a wig, always.... how scary is her real hair? Is this a geographical thing?

[VOTER]

Big Poppa has to be more than embarrassed about his "engagement" since
he is still married to another woman and hasn't filed for divorce.

[goldstar2000]

trophywives wannabees!!!!

[SeriouslySarah]

Wow. I was shocked to hear that. I am ashamed to admit I turn into this show for some unfathomable reason. I'm not fan. She smokes. Smoke smells bad in her hair so it's $400 a pop a day? Let me see what is wrong with this...not enough time. If you were spending $12K a month on wigs, couldn't you just have your stylist wash and style said wig and it would cost far far less? i don't have a wig and don't know but yikes for 12K a month, maybe get a really good hairstylist and grow your own....Aren't wigs washable? I think she's seriously crazy. If smoking made her wig smell bad.....uh, maybe quit? I think I watch this because it is sooooo unbelievably overthetop stupid it is entertaining. Still, I am ashamed.

[jade7243]

She's not spending HER money on wigs. Big Poppa is spending his wife and children's money.

[wonkguy]

There you go!
