Remember when NeNe adamantly denied during Season 1 that she was a stripper back in the day? Well now she’s fessing up and talks about it in her new memoirs Never Make The Same Mistake Twice. Gotta sell these books some way:
“Yes, I was a stripper, a woman who took her clothes off and danced for dollars,” she writes. “Let the judgment ensue. I mean, it’s easy enough to do, right?”
Here’s her Player’s Club-esque stripperific come-up:
Leakes explains that she had just ended her relationship with the father of her eldest son, Brice, and she was living with her son and a roommate. “My son was in private school, his father wasn’t chipping in for pull-ups or food, I had no job and no money coming in, the rent was past due, and the super told me and my roommate that our condo owner was about to put us out,” she writes. “So I did what I had to do.”
After answering an ad in the newspaper, Leakes nabbed the job at “the most glamorous upscale gentlemen’s club in Georgia” on the spot – though she didn’t have any experience taking off her clothes or dancing in public.
Following a learning curve — and some very lurid details about her costumes and fellow dancers — the Atlanta Housewives star, who performed under the name “Silk,” writes that she came to feel comfortable and powerful on stage. “I felt powerful in front of those men,” she writes. “They were obviously there to see what I had, and I quickly realized that those men weren’t there to make me feel bad about myself.”
Source
She met Greg soon after and he persuaded her to stop dancing. Make that book money girl. Don’t let it make you.
Kim Zolciak, co-star of Bravo TV’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” has spoke of some country album for two seasons now. And now her debut single “Tardy for the Party” has leaked. Check it:
[audio:Tardy For The Party (Mix).mp3]
*blank stare* It also features fellow cast member Kandi Burruss. Excuse me while I go throw some auto-tune on my own damn voice and package it and sell it as a song. And I’ma call it “Listen To Me Speak With Auto-Tune”.

WTF Kim. GO SAT Yo A$$ DOWN SOMEWHERE.
I dont recall NEne denying that she was a stripper. She just said that she was still a stripper, she just stripped for her husband.

Kandi is weak as shyt for doing this song with Kim…But I guess when you have 7 kids and 4 baby mommas to take care of out of your joined money you work with talentless people for the check. Wackness all around!
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:39 PM
Clearly I have no need to worry about the economy and the state of my financial affairs. I need to record a bullisht song and wait for the money to roll in. Who the hell needs TALENT anymore these days? What was I thinking?
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:39 PM
Me either….this is some funny shit!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:42 PM

Tue, August 18, 2009 4:43 PM
Did NeNe meet her husband at the strip club? THAT’S entertainment…
Kim! Give it up. No one wants to hear that shit…
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:44 PM
*BLANK STARE*
Two words for Kim’s song…..How DREADFUL. And Kandi you wrong for attaching your name to this!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:46 PM
I THOUGHT SHE WAS ASPIRING TO BE A COUNTRY SINGER.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE some Lady GaGa stuff!
Get in where you fit in, I guess
LOL
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:46 PM
I’mma have to co-sign slightly. I love you Kandi, but don’t put your name on bullshit! You’re a Grammy winner for goodness sakes! You have talent. Kim is making a mockery of your craft…
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:47 PM
…my ears are bleeding profusely and I cannot stop laughing. hahahaha
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:48 PM
Kim, really? Tardy for the party? Is this some kind of late April Fool’s joke? LMFAO! Her azz is WAY too old to even listen to, let alone try to sing such foolishness. What a waste of air space.
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:49 PM
… Techno accommodates for people with voices not up to par.
It fits the auto tune sound.
Smart Move.
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:49 PM
Yall stop hate-n on Kim, Just don’t be TADRY 4 DA Party
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:50 PM
NeNE is a big chick. She looks like she’s at least 6′1. If she bust one twirl on the pole she bound to kick somebody teeth out. *shrugs*
I will NOT listen to this song.
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:50 PM
lmao! If she is singing, Im not coming to that damn party.
Tue, August 18, 2009 4:52 PM
she resembles a line backer…

I had to catch myself from singing along to that shit…damn autotune is brainwashing like a muthaeffa….Don’t be tardy for the party!! Whooooahh whoooahh, lmfaoooo this bitch has lost her marbles for real! :lol:

Ne Ne is such a freaking hypocrite. She lies about being a stripper and gets mad as phuck when someone calls her a liar. That big he/she looking dude needs sit her lying, loud mouth self down some where. She should be crowned the Real Skankwife of Atlanta!
And if they’re going to be playing Kim’s music, I’m going to be real tardy to the party!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:00 PM
TASHA NENE DID NOT DENY SHE WAS A STRIPPER
WELL I DON’T THINK THE SONG IS BAD FOR TECHNO POP MUSIC I CAN DEAL WITH IT
YOURS TRULY ACTING BETTY

Nene reminds me of Trix from The Player’s Club! Too funny.
I guess I now know why Kim was at Blake’s in Midtown Atlanta Sunday b4 last, trying to get the chirrin to cosign on this bullshit. Not happening. In person, she looks 40.
Damn Kandi. U lost a cool point for this mess.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:04 PM
I aint go lie, if im drunk at a club n that song comes on i mite dance to it. lmao….I cant believe i admitted that
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:04 PM

I can’t stop laughing at this post. OMG yall are hilarious up in here. This has made my evening.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:12 PM
Mine too!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:14 PM
the funniest thing about this “don’t be tardy for the party” tomfoolery is that, she even sounds terrible with all the digitized media that was available in state-of-the-art studio we all know poppa paid for. this is sooooooo incredibly unfortunate. i can’t even begin to wrap my head around why or how she thinks she has a career in music… shame on it all!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:15 PM
Well, well, well Miss Nene – first you always want to comment on Kim’s wig when you have that blonde dead cat on top of your head and you have the nerve to call Kandi ghetto which is completely shocking to me. You are a HOT MESS!!!!!….and now you are finally admitting that you use to strip and then want to explain it by trying to take a classic line from The Playas Club. Between you and Lisa Wu, I am not shocked about anything that comes up from your past anymore. You damn right I am going to judge you – you have the biggest mouth in the South for someone with skeletons in your closet!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:16 PM
hahha. I think I can hear every last cigarette she has smoked in her voice. lol
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:19 PM
This sounds like some B. Spears type ish!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:20 PM
This song makes me feel like i should be doing aerobics! no sorry…find something else to do.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:21 PM
Ohhhhh There should be a choked and screwed( yes choked not chopped) remix to this banger right chea.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:22 PM
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:27 PM
Ok, imma try and say something positive about this post….hmm, lemme think…
*38 hours later*
ok, I got nothin! Gah-damn foolywang all around. NeNe used to strip? No, she used to flap them gah-damn watermelon titties back in 1875 at the local plantation juke joint for massah….Kim, is she really serious about that sh*t??? I don’t have any jokes about that damn song…I am really flabbergasted right now…so I’m just gonna exit stage left!
*curtains*
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:28 PM
Okay so remember in The Last Dragon and they kidnapped Vanity (can’t remember the name of her character) and made her listen to the thug’s girl’s AWFUL ASS SONG!? Well, this has to be a leak from that album. WTF! I don’t think I have ever heard someone sing that badand REALLY thought they were good. The techno thing was awful. My stomch is churning and I’m having dry heaves. I’m suing Kim…well, Big Poppa’s ass for making me sick.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:31 PM
TOOOOOOO funny!!!!!!!!!(i feel ya though)
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:33 PM
Not in 1875- People are literally looking at me like I am crazy. im in this bish crying!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:36 PM
NENE is the best ATL housewife. She keeps it real..”HE” by Sheree is manly, Lisa Wu is a crackhead and Kim…oh Kim…
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:37 PM
So is LIsa’s husband going to come out of the closet next episode? (I have to ask every week)
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:39 PM
You think? I think NeNe is so fake. She is a such a s–t starter. There’s not one of those ladies she hasn’t talked about to the other. I think Kandi is the realest.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:40 PM
DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD!!!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:41 PM
That’ll be on the season finale. He’ll drop her off at one of those busted parties, then show back up in drag as Dwight’s escort.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:42 PM
Nene prob had to do what she had to do, and there is nothing wrong with doing it tastefully! Plus it takes a lot of confidence to do that and also a hella body! So NENE ; work that SHIT!
And Kim… sit the heck down, you are an embarrasment to country! Let it go and try something else.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:50 PM
Uh, if you say so.
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:54 PM
so she fucked for this track? well it definitaley wasn’t worth it!
Tue, August 18, 2009 5:57 PM
FUNNY AS HELL!!!!! DAM MY BELLY IS SHAKING FROM LAUGHN……. LMBAO!!!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:05 PM

Tue, August 18, 2009 6:23 PM
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:23 PM
DON’T…DON’T….DON’T BE TARDY 4 THE PARTY…..
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:32 PM
Okay, maybe it’s me, but I liked “Pickin’ Boogars” better! Anyone can make a record now. So pathetic! Whatever happened to true talent, skill and hard work. Did she even stop smokin’? I bet Dallas Austin didn’t have anything to do with this mess.
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:44 PM
That all white combo he was sporting when he gave her that massage was telling…
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:50 PM
LMAOOOOO!!! YOU AINT NEVA LIED!! EXACTLY the description I was looking for!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 6:52 PM
This is . . . this is . . . I think this is the worst song I have ever heard in my life. And I cannnot stop laughing. But can you imagine if it was about something else?
DON’T BE TARDY TO YA JOB! WHOA . . . DON’T BE TARDY TO YA JOB!
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:01 PM
I would either like that 2:41 of my life back or have the chance to slap whomever produced that song for the aforementinoned amount of time. I’m just sayin.
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:27 PM
D.O.A!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:28 PM
OH HECK NAH! “Don’t be tardy for the party?” Ain’t that the same hook Nene was singing in the car on the first episode this season when Lisa man tried to freestyle with her? HAHAHA!
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:29 PM
this ruins everything. tardy for the party was one of my favorite quotables from the show, and now it’s glammed up as a club remix. what happened to the country twang that made it so laughable?
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:32 PM
RE: Tardy for the Party
Two words = Jennifer Lopez
It’s amazing what they can create in a studio. They must’ve called up Dreamworks and Pixar to manufacture this grand illusion.
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:54 PM
THTS THE TYPE S-HIT U LISTEN 2 WEN YOUR BOUT 2 KILL YOURSELF
Tue, August 18, 2009 7:57 PM
wow yall r so funny…..but i got to go so i want be trady for the party
Tue, August 18, 2009 8:13 PM
The song is not that bad..,it needs a base line and more lyrics and it will be a good song, however im impressed, i thought it was going to be horrible…she needs to put some more effort in the lyrics and make the song have a story and some meaning, ..but it sounds nice. Good Job Kim…let your haters motivate you .
Tue, August 18, 2009 8:22 PM
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!! you silly I would not come either.
Tue, August 18, 2009 8:34 PM
MY EARS ARE FUCKIN BLEEDING!
Tue, August 18, 2009 8:52 PM
WTF was that. Why did I just press play? Since when does country sound like a Lady GaGa/Britney Spears/T-Pain remix. Who wrote that song??? Why? Why? Why? LOL
Tue, August 18, 2009 9:03 PM
NeNe never said she wasn’t a stripper. She said she still strips for her husband. As much as they kept playing that re-run of that reunion, everyone who watches should know what she said. And Kim actually sounded like she could blend right in with all the music they play on the radio anyway. No worse than Britney she jus need to learn how to dance LOL
Tue, August 18, 2009 9:13 PM
thats one party you dont have to worry about me being tardy to. just cross my ass completely off the list.
i cant imagine why anybody would think anyone would want to listen to a middle aged, fat, balding white woman choke into a microphone about clubbing. thats like, everything i dont care about.
Tue, August 18, 2009 9:25 PM
WOW….fa real tho
Tue, August 18, 2009 10:19 PM
Im mad that Im going to be singing ‘Dont be tardy for tha party’ all day tommorow at work. I didn’t even listen to the entire song and I already cant get it out of my head
Tue, August 18, 2009 10:36 PM
Tardy for the party…r u serious Next time don’t attend the party. Kim can’t and never will be able to sing. Keep yo legs closed to married men try that first. The truth hurts.
Tue, August 18, 2009 10:46 PM
I can’t wait til’ Etta James release a statement saying she’s gonna “Kick Kim’s azz for stealing my song”!
Seriously, somebody ought to put this on youtube and maybe it’ll become a viral sensation like that “Chocolate Rain” song that was so horrible but you couldn’t get it outta your head once you heard it nevertheless. Lawd hammercy!
Tue, August 18, 2009 11:00 PM
That beat sounds so familiar…oh what…ain’t that the beat Lady Gaga used for her song Poker Face…Kim’s song is a Hot A$$ Mess
Tue, August 18, 2009 11:14 PM
wtf is tardy for the party?
anyone can put out an album.
that ish was garbage! i couldnt even get past 30 seconds.
Tue, August 18, 2009 11:59 PM
LMBO…gurl stop!!! I heard the intro and was through…so many thoughts.
Okay, why does that song sound like something you would hear at Skateland?
Why did it sound like a Britney Spears knock-off?
I’ll tell you what it doesn’t sound like…a darn country song…what is really good, Kim? And Kandi…fa real, fa real? You co-signin’ this wackness?
Wed, August 19, 2009 12:34 AM
wow jus wow…smdh.. twice. Tardy for the party is this 4 real?She joins the other crew of no talent havin like Paris Hilton.
Wed, August 19, 2009 12:44 AM
How on earth did she get a job at “The most glamorous upscale gentlemen’s club in Georgia” in the first place? They must have some really low standard when it comes to beauty if they hire that beast and let her take her clothes off.
Wed, August 19, 2009 7:35 AM
what was kandi thinking? I want 2 see these 2 weak voice itches sing this mess live. A mess
Wed, August 19, 2009 7:36 AM
So freaking what ne ne was a stripper. Big deal is that really mind blowing news. Some people act like she said she was on the stroll.
Wed, August 19, 2009 8:15 AM
What glamorous mens club, excepted Ne-Ne’s big amazon azz??? not to say she didn’t strip, but come on “glamorous mens club” condo, private school, no money, no job?? how does that all work out?? but then on the other hand, she say’s she a social-lite
Wed, August 19, 2009 8:20 AM
Um…so is Miley Cyrus a ybf chick now…whats up with the page background..irritating
Wed, August 19, 2009 8:47 AM
@Keykey Yeah WTH SMH on that one ! Tasha Whats really going on. I didnt know YBF readers were fans of Miley But Hey I guess it pays the bills! Make that MONEY HONEY!
Go On Wit Yo Bad Self Mrs. Leaks Make That Money Chick! <3
Let the haters hate!
Wed, August 19, 2009 8:56 AM
I can’t believe I just listened to that from start to finish… *blank stare* … that’s 2 mins and 44 secs of my life I can’t have back :-\
Wed, August 19, 2009 9:47 AM
LMMFBAO!!!!!!!!! OH CHIT!…… :)
Wed, August 19, 2009 10:07 AM
That wack ass song is in the same league as the one Randy Jackson wrote for Paula Abdul last year. Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow…or something like that.
Wed, August 19, 2009 11:16 AM
Kim said, Fuck what you Bitches think. I can sing! LOL
Working with the right producers in the top studio can make anyone sound like they can sing. She’s no different than the rest of these studio singers out right now Rihanna…Ciara…Britney…Hell even Whitney Houston.
Wed, August 19, 2009 11:26 AM
LMAO@Kim is this shit for real!! LMAO…I thought it was a joke last season when Nene was singing don’t be “tardy for the party!!!!’LMAO WTF!!!! FYI…Whitney Houston could always sing she just let drugs screw her shit up!!
Wed, August 19, 2009 11:27 AM
Get off the crack….lol. Even if that were true, she still wouldn’t be in the same league with any of those ladies. Puleeze. :)
Wed, August 19, 2009 11:43 AM
I don’t get why people are upset because of the autotune. No one is upset when Ashanti or Rihanna uses autotune. A song is a song is a song. I know that no one expected grammy material from Kim. LOL.
Wed, August 19, 2009 12:01 PM
I love Kim’s new song; its very Lady Gaga
Wed, August 19, 2009 1:25 PM
To Kim: I.just.cant.take.anymore.*dead*
Wed, August 19, 2009 4:09 PM
This is funny to me because Kim makes a song that sounds Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Britney-ish but its awful? I think some people just hate because they have nothing better to do. Kim is following her dream. Nene is very fake. She reminds me of a person to put everyone else business in the streets so her own isn’t spilled. I like Kandi, she is truly the sweetest.
Wed, August 19, 2009 6:14 PM
Nene, if you are reading this PLEASE go get your eye checked.
I’m not trying to be funny, you may need some serious medical attention. Your right eye is just not looking completely right. Lay off the false eyelashes just until you figure out what the problem is. Just some sincere advice from a Real Housewives fan looking out for your best interests…
Thu, August 20, 2009 12:57 PM
Kim, honey, no. Just…no. I know what you’re trying to do. But no.
Thu, August 20, 2009 8:12 PM
You dig its always a broke mufuka to talk about someones characther and not truly know them. I know me personally would seize any and every oppurtunity to milk the cow shit im tryin to survive my kids need trust funds!!
