Law Protecting Against Racial Bias Repealed By GOP Lawmakers
Republican Official Targets GOP Candidate In Racially…
Since the premiere of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' there has been widespread speculation over the identity of "Big Poppa," the mystery boyfriend of Kim Zolciak, one of the show's stars.
Turns out, Big Poppa is Lee Najjar, a very successful – and married – real estate mogul based in Atlanta. TMZ cameras were the first to capture images of Zolciak and Najjar on a romantic vacation at the Hotel Atlantis in the Bahamas last November.
Zolciak, a single mother of two, has always been mum on who was footing the bill for her extravagant lifestyle, but at the first season reunion special, her co-star NeNe Leakes let it be known that Big Poppa was very married.
"Keep your legs closed to married men," charged Leakes, who used to be friends with Zolciak.
Though Bravo has capitalized on the mystery of "Big Poppa," Najjar is seeking a low profile.
Earlier this year, he made an appearance on the MTV series 'Teen Cribs,' where his daughter, Katelin, and son, Jamen, gave a tour of their tricked-out mansion. Najjar's wife – whose name is coincidentally Kimberly – also turned up in the episode, cooking spaghetti.
The spacious estate features a movie theater, music studio, beauty salon, game room, basketball court and countless other amenities. Najjar, who appeared in photos during 'Teen Cribs' alongside Jermaine Dupri and other celebrities, has no qualms about spoiling his children, particularly his daughter, as he notes on the MTV special. (SEE THE VIDEO BELOW)
"Katelin is our only daughter, and she is daddy's girl. She is my princess."
BV Newswire tracked down an exclusive photo of Najjar with mega-producer Dallas Austin taken May 16 at Austin's annual fundraiser.
Ironically, Austin is still letting the public know that he won't be helping Zolciak further her country music career anytime soon. Via his Twitter page, he recently wrote: "Don't ever put that house wives b***h in serious music convo please!!! It's unfair to real talented people. It was only for broken dreams TV!!"
Last year, Austin took to his MySpace page to say: "We are not doing a song, we are not doing an album ... that was only for television!"
According to a season preview of 'Housewives,' Big Poppa will make an appearance, and Grammy Award winner Kandi Burruss, the newest cast member, will work with Zolciak in the studio.There is no word on whether Najjar and his wife are still together or whether he's back with Zolciak.

Slow your roll, patna' ... lest YE be judged.

Are you kidding?! Kim is the one who is best off!! She is PAID and doesn't have to put up with any man being in her home, having to account for her spending, she comes and goes and she sees fit .. all of the rest have husbands. Kim has a man when she wants and the money ALL the time. And ALL of them are depending on a man.
Nene is so ghetto .. who KNOWS where she would be without her meal ticket. Sheree was put out of her house and is still waiting on her man's 7 figures. Lisa has hustles (one of which happens to to be hooking up with "stars" .. uh, can we say Keith Sweat's ex wife), but I didn't see her buying 2 million dollar homes until her little ugly, over-muscled footballer came though. DeShawn was using the hubby's doe. Kandi makes her own doe, but is about to turn it over to an over-sexed nobody with 10,000 kids!!! DUH! These fools are fools EXCEPT for Kim. Hope she's stashing some of the cash.
I'd MUCH rather get cash without having to be all up in a man's face for it everyday. Just send it to me or better yet .. I'll just send you the bill! You go Kim!!
Face it, if they sleep together, then it takes two to cheat. He OBVIOUSLY loves what she's giving him. She isn't stealing -- he's giving.

Who and what is this reality show? Never heard of it, and never will watch it. How can you have a role on a show entitled "Real housewives" and be a real ho?

Kim and Big-Poppa:
They may not be an astonshingly beautiful pr ex-couple but I have to admit they look well-put together for an Atlanta, social, money possessing duo.
I feel a feel a bit of sympathy for Kim. She obviously suffers from severe low self-esteem and lack enormous and thoughroug professional help. Seeking therapy is nothing to be shamed of. After all, by getting the right professional help, you are doing something great for yourself.
Kim appears to be filled with fear, resentment, shame and anger.
The good news, there is a beautiful,happy solution to all of it! The other fantastic reality is YOU NO LONGER have to associate or put yourself in the same circles as those certain women who do nothing for you but bring downfall, theatrics, and disregard to you world.
Take it from me! I have lived a life much similar to yours! But I am still here. Able to wake up each day glad to b alive.
Kim, you are in my daily thoughts and prayers.

I watch the show and I really enjoy Ne-Ne. But I think all of the women lack class and financial success. They are all ghetto enterpreneurs, they dont have any education, skills, or talent. So when I tune in i dont view the housewives of atlanta as wealthy people, i look at each housewife as being fake and very close to being put out on the street. The newcomer, Kim is the only one who is independent and very talented.

First off I cannot believe big poppa is white. Kim is such a wannabe I felt sure he was a black man. Secondly she is the piggist trailer trash I have ever seen. She gives women a bad name. She is a no talent singer,actor,mother and friend.All she does is take up space. All the women on Atlanta except for perhaps Lisa are LOSERS .shera whatever is so much trash and nene Whose your daddy?As for the new girl watch out get off the show with some dignity while you can They are all losers or they would not be taking their trash to the curb in public!!!
