UPDATE: Kim Zolciak’s manager quits, dishes

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Kim Zolciak is back on the outs with her publicist/manager Jonathan Jaxson.
On Wednesday morning, Jaxson once again went on Atlanta’s airwaves to air his grievances with the Bravo reality show cast member. Jaxson appeared in studio with B98.5 FM’s Steve McCoy and Vikki Locke to announce that he’s resigned as Zolciak’s manager and publicist because “she’s a habitual liar.”
He claimed that Zolciak has lied about her past as a stripper and that she indeed once danced at The Cheetah.
As “Real Housewives of Atlanta” addicts will recall, just this month, Jaxson appeared on Q100’s Bert Show with Zolciak to announce that all was forgiven (they had sued each other earlier this year) and they were once again working together as the alleged singer’s single, “Tardy for the Party” debuted on iTunes.
On September 2, Jaxson accompanied Zolciak to Blake’s on the Park in Midtown to promote the dance song.
But on Wednesday, Jaxson had the claws out again, claiming his former client spends “up to $200,000 a month.” He also previewed that viewers may finally get a glimpse of Zolciak’s married beau “Big Poppa” when he turns up in one of the second season’s remaining episodes with a large carat diamond for Zolciak.
Jaxson also claimed that Bravo will be filming the second season’s reunion special Oct 7 and 8 here in Atlanta.
Zolciak was tuned in during Jaxson’s segment but declined an invitation to call in.
Texted Zolciak to McCoy and Locke: “He is disgusting.”
But apparently, the weave wearer wasn’t taking Jaxson’s claims all that seriously.
In follow up texts to Steve and Vikki she added: “I have my kids in the car” and “I can’t stop laughing.”

Kim is a beautiful women inside and out. She does NOT have the time for a loser like Jonathan. I am her friend and I have been for years and it really pisses me off to read this trash, She finally rid of him ad Bug poppa both of which are users and liars. Kim is the happiest she has been in years and I am overjoyed for her. If you guys don’t like her stop writing about her then.

I am LOL at the Jen comment at 12:34 pm. Big Poppa is a user, and Kim is not? Really? Seriously? This is a trash-ho, she only wants married guys for what they can give her. What a complete embarrassment that this woman represents Atlanta in any form.
Hot Tranny Mess.

Silly people. “Breaking news” is a sarcastic headline. I don’t watch the show nor am I a Kim Zolciak fan — but I can’t get over this Jaxson jerk. Who’d want to hire a publicist who runs off at the mouth any chance he gets? He’s killing his career by trying to get attention.

Kim is not a representation of Atlanta, nor are any of the other Housewives. I wish people would stop saying that.

The reason we “waste our time on this nonsense” is because it is like passing a horrible accident on the freeway, you just can’t look away. Watching these people make fools of themselves, all the while thinking they are uber important is just hysterical to me.
As for this little Panzy spewing all Kim’s “secrets”, he really needs to get with the program and tell us something we don’t already know or STFU.

Despite these comments, you are all watching……mission accomplished. This could have been a pubilicity stunt for all we know, people stop taking this TV show so seriously and literally. Its giving you what we want and that’s straight up drama not something to educate your children on. Lighten UP!

I watch this show. Others watch wrestling. Entertainment is the purpose. It’s just different strokes for different folks. Of course the language can get “NASTY.” Some radio stations play only what some view as vulgar songs. All tastes are not the same and if there are those who are entertained by “this and not that” so be it. Lighten up or turn the channel! Peace!

It’s not the fact that this show is on the air. It’s that the AJC devotes valuable NEWS real estate to puffery such as this. It is not news. It is not relevant. It is not important. Much like the AJC these days. This once great paper has become our own local version of TMZ.

Kim Zolciak is major SKANK, why on earth does the AJC keep showing crap about this woman?
Walter Cronkite was right, todays news sucks, they are more into showing the shock and awe instead of the REAL NEWS. AJC try it for a change.

I watched the episodes (Season 1, 2) to see what the fuss was about. I like the “original” “reality show” — the NEWS (north, east, west, south).
Any intelligent person knows that these women do NOT represent “REAL” housewives of ATLANTA. It’s entertainment. (smile)
But they really should change the name because it’s very misleading. I personally know many housewives in Atlanta (Buckhead, Bankhead, Brookwood, Perimeter, Marietta, Vinings, Dunwoody, Cascade, Decatur, Lithonia, etc.) and they do NOT act like the cast members on the show!!!
Housewife – def., a “married” woman in charge of the household. A woman who “manages her own household as her main occupation”. A “married woman”, whose principal occupation is “managing a household” and “taking care of domestic affairs”. “Takes care of the family and home”.
I do NOT see this happening on the show. I see lying, drama, drinking, partying, fighting, yelling, screaming, more drama, comedy … entertainment. I see immaculate gourmet kitchens. I see stylists dropping by the homes. Event planners and the network arrange functions and the cast just shows up. Anyone ever chaired a committee, attended a PTA meeting, carpooled, loaded a dishwasher/washer/dryer, vacuumed, cooked a meal, etc.? Soccer moms? Any kids taking gymnastic, ballet, piano lessons?
I like the new girl, Khandi. She’s cool and smart in many ways. Perhaps a spinoff Bravo?!!
Who on the show is “married” and/or actually lives in the city of Atlanta? Only 2 are actually married and can be labeled as a “wife”.
Just wish the networks would change the name to something other than ATLANTA Housewives. It’s embarassing for “real” housewives of Atlanta that do NOT carry on the way these women do!!!
The show is funny. Just wish the references to housewives and Atlanta were not part of it!!!
I must say Nee Nee was FUNNY when she put on that blonde wig. OMG, she was on cue with her imitations of Kim. I laughed so hard!!
Entertainment ya’ll. NOT true representation of “real” Atlanta housewives!!!
When people stop watching, that’s when the shows are cancelled. As long as the people are watching, tune in BOO … LOL

Are you serious?!?! Who even took the time to write this mess!! The show itself is a HOT MESS – a bad rep for Atlanta. These females, not qualified to be called Women or ladies have smeared the image of Real Housewives, they have accomplished absolutely nothing, they have no class and no business about them selves, but new weave, tons of makeup and plenty to drink to drown themselves in their own insecurities. Big ups to Khandi though, love you, and I know you regret ever being on the show, but it’s all good you are still doing your thing, making it happen. Thanks for being a lady!

I hope everyone understands that Bravo’s approach to this was to find some HOZ they knew they could exploit for their ignorance and greed and this is what they came up with. Perfection at its finest. People love to watch others just completely embarrass themselves. Total train wreck. They have become the laughing stock of the TV world, especially after the scene they caused on Ellen. I truly feel bad for the children that are involved in this mess.

To the person who referred to Kim spending 3 grand on her daughter and how she can afford it: Did you notice the split tender? She paid with two different credit cards. But you know how the saying goes, “fake it till you make it” She probably took all that stuff back once the cameras stopped rolling. And to the other poster who kept referencing God and telling us to leave Kim alone: Kim is committing a sin called adultery by sleeping with a married man. Oh the irony.

Native Atlantan, it’s pretty obvious why you enjoy this train wreck of a show. You think Kandi is smart when she’s one of the dumbest women EVER and you just used the word “boo” which I last heard circa 2002.

PLEASE FOLKS!!! We need to boycott BRAVO for putting this crap on television. These reality actors are not the real women/housewives of Atlanta. The real ones know who they are and are so totally disgusted by this show that they would never watch it. The only thing going for these guys is the show. And as far as Kim goes, she is real trash. And whoever Big Pappa is – well he should be run out of town on a rail for supporting this trashy ho. I pitt6y Kandi for getting herself involved in this awful mess.

Kim is over the top sometimes but come on, the others are far worse. Lisa is a fake, her clothes were cheap and cheesy and thank the lord for her husband having the house he bought when he came to Atlanta and she wasn’t able to sell it or she would have spent it and been in NeNe’s rented situation. Who thinks NeNe is news worthy? She is so ghetto. She keeps trying but it keeps coming out. She is no friend to anyone. And her son looks like a loser- sorry but its true. That talk she had with him. hot mess if u replay and listen to her words, Miss U got to get u some education. oh b/c u don’t want to be your mom for sure. SheRay- did u see what she wore to the fashion show. Come on. Trash. U wore that to your sons recital? It is entertainment…..Sure shows us how to never behave for those of u who didnt need
