NeNe Leakes thinks nemesis Kim Zolciak’s divorce drama will make “great TV” amid the latter’s return to “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
However, the reality star doesn’t believe her friend-turned-foe announced her divorce from Kroy Biermann — and promptly called it off — all as a ploy to get back on the Bravo show.
“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,” Leakes, 55, told TMZ Saturday in Los Angeles.
“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.”
The comment from Leakes comes just a few weeks after Zolciak, 45, and Biermann, 37, both filed to dismiss their marriage dissolution requests – despite publicly bashing each other in court documents months prior.
Leakes, who previously revealed she reached out to Zolciak amid her split from the retired NFL star, said she “hopes” 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.
Leakes added that the marital drama “was kinda messy,” however, noting that them “suddenly” being back on good terms felt a lot like her own tumultuous friendship with Zolciak through the years.
Leakes and Zolciak’s feud was documented on the early seasons of “RHOA” but came to a head in April 2022 after Leakes sued the reality show’s production companies over allegations that they “tolerated — if not encouraged” Zolciak’s “racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior.”
Leakes dropped the lawsuit four months after it was filed. She appears to be on better terms with Zolciak, who departed the hit show in 2012.

Earlier this week, Leakes revealed the “Don’t Be Tardy” alum reached out to her when her late husband, Gregg, died in 2021. She decided to return the favor when she head about Zolciak’s split news.
“I don’t know how she’s doing overall. I just reached out to her because she reached out to me during the time when I was really going through something,” Leakes told TMZ.
As previously reported, Zolciak and Biermann filed for divorce in May after 11 years of marriage.
She promptly began slinging allegations at her then-estranged husband, including claims that he had substance abuse issues.
Biermann retaliated, claiming his wife had a crippling gambling addiction that left their family in financial ruin.
After two months spent leveling extreme accusations against the other, they were photographed taking their four biological children to a church service earlier this month.
They called off their divorce shortly afterward.
“They’ve been working on things,” a source told Page Six at the time, alleging that “they’ve been talking more lately and getting along, so she decided to call it off.”
The couple share Kroy Jr., 12, Kash, 10, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9, along with Zolciak’s daughters from previous relationships — Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 21 — whom Biermann adopted.
