I can sympathize with Kandi and all that she has been through lately. I hope that she will use each experience and draw from it to grow. I think she is an incredible song writer.

I watch RHOA and I have to say she appears a bit immature for the show. Not just because she is the youngest. (Kim is lying about her real age, she looks 40+). But because she is just to naive for me. I wish she would be a bit more "guarded" where Kim is concerned. Stop buying into what Kim says as "your truth" Look at her! Everything about her is fake, how can anything "real" come from her?
Lisa warned Kandi to "stay out of it" regarding Kim and NeNe's drama....what did she do? Stepped right in it and ended up all frustrated and in tears. Can't Kandi see that things were fine when they did the alter ego photo shoot, then all of a sudden after Kim filling her ear with her drama, her and NeNe blow up. Notice when Kandi said "that's just like I've heard you said things about me, but I don't care" the whole thing blew up. You have to come better than that if you're going to take it there with NeNe. I would encourage Kandi to "form her own opinions about NeNe" and anyone else for that matter.
Kim is a user. One of my favorite quotes is "when people show you who the are the first time....believe them" Everyone on the show has their own thing going on...except Kim. You did all the work for her song (except sing it), and she didn't want to do that. Her "relationship" ~is fake, her "hair/boobs/lifestyle" ~is fake, her carreer/wigline/singing ~is fake! Does she even know what real is??? I hope Kandi opens up her eyes to Kim soon, she is just now starting to rebound from the whole A.J. drama. She should be tired of "looking like a fool"

According to a production source for Bravo network's popular Real Housewives of Atlanta series, both NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield will soon be looking for new digs. That is because Bravo is footing the bill to lease both of the luxury homes that you see the ladies and their families enjoying on the show.

I'm told that AJC newspaper has done some research and will soon reveal the details of the lease agreements in an upcoming story in the paper. But remember where you read it first!

Industry insiders have been whispering about the temporary lease agreements all season. "Everyone wants to know if they're going to stay in the homes or be forced to move," said one industry insider.

It's no secret that the girls blew through their Bravo checks and are now complaining publicly that they have no money now that the show is going into syndication.

"NeNe is doing whatever she can to make ends meet," said the insider. "Her book isn't selling and her husband is out of work, so she's hurting right now." The insider said west coast promoters fly NeNe to LA to host events and put her up in fancy hotels. But she returns home broke.

If you recall, NeNe and her husband Greg Leakes were served with an eviction notice on their Duluth, GA house last September. They vacated the property in November of 2008.

Then before shooting was to begin on the second season, sources say Bravo took out a lease on a mansion for the Leakes who had moved into a small rental property.

Sources also say Bravo was forced to upgrade the living quarters for Sheree Whitfield and her two kids who were kicked out of the Sandy Springs mansion she once shared with her ex-husband, former NFL great, Bob Whitfield. The $2.4 million mansion sold for $1.1 million in foreclosure earlier this year, according to the AJC.com.

Whitfield wasn't specific about her new place in a phone interview with the AJC's Rodney [expletive deleted] back in June. She said only that she had

truthtellin...You are so "special"

I don't know what truth you are supposed to be tellin'? But whatever gets you through the day love.

You should change your name to "myversionoftruthtellin" it would be more authentic. I see Kandi as a weak woman, unable to form her own opinion of NeNe based on comments made by Kim. I have very little patience for weak/insecure women like that.

She can't even see that Kim is using her. She used Kandi's home studio, her connections, and her time. Kandi (sounding all country and proud) "I did it for free!!" People treat you the way you let them. Don Vito made sure he got paid! Kandi has to learn to play the game and not let it play her. She looks like a fool!

(And since we're already in the car...let's go here)...Thank God for her mothers wisdom and intuition, or she would have looked really stupid choosing to marry a man with more baggage than Samsonite. What kind of woman still cares for a mans children when he leaves her? Then, if that wasn't bad enough...only two days after he broke up with her...Kandi saw him out with another woman. (these are Kandi's words from her interview in Sister2Sister).

I'm not as concerned about their finances, as you are apparently. I don't care who lives where, or who has what, or what they're doing. It's not uncommon for people to live in houses leased by networks. All of the reality shows do it: Flavor Flave, Real and Chance, The Bachelor...all of them. Wait..you did't think they got to keep those houses did you?... Silly rabbit!
This has been so much fun...but I'm over it now..NEXT!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s self-proclaimed “H.B.I.C.” (head b– in charge) says she’s not friends with any of the other women on the show. Instead, she calls Kim Zolciak, Sheree Whitfield, Lisa Wu Hartwell and Kandi Burruss “associates,” something she says they’re lucky to be. “Some people don’t even get to be my associate, so they’re in a very good position,” she said in Los Angeles at a recent signing of her book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice: Lessons on Love and Life Learned the Hard Way. Leakes spoke with PEOPLE about her her goal to have a talk show, why all press is good press and what she thinks about the song “Tardy for the Party.” –Tiffany Matloob

What’s your relationship with Kim and Sheree like these days?
We’re just associates. I feel we have a business relationship. However, Sheree and I have known each other the longest and we’ve found a way to respect one another. And Kim and I just haven’t found that yet. And if Kim and I weren’t on the show together, we probably would never talk. But we’re on the show, so we have to talk and we have to be cordial, so we’re cordial. But I’m not friends with any of these girls. They’re my associates, and I don’t think that the word “associate” is a bad word. Some people don’t even get to be my associate, so they’re in a very good position.

So you’re not friends with anyone in the cast?
Down the road with some time, Lisa and I could possibly be friends. I don’t really know Kandi at all but I won’t close the door on that. I’m just saying I don’t know her because she’s new to the show. We didn’t get a chance to really get to know each other. She came into our relationship. I feel like I’m the HBIC [head b-- in charge] if you know what that is.

If you could give your advice to the other women, what would it be?
What you have to do is build and brand and you have to take advantage of everything that you have in front of you. It’s a blessing and a curse. The curse is that people are digging in your business and these reporters are writing things that are not true. But it’s a blessing because you get to do things like … have a book put out across the country.

What else would you like to accomplish?
My long term goal is to one day have my own talk show or maybe even a radio show … Since I’ve been here in California, I’ve had TV shows that are talking to me but it has to be the right thing because I live in Georgia. That is so far for me to move my husband and kids, so it really has to be worth my while. I need a big, nice, fat check.

How do you deal with the “curse” or rumors that are spread about you?
I love when they talk about me. I get real weird when they ain’t saying nothing about me. I say, “They didn’t say anything about me this week? I got to step my game up.” The more they talk honey, that really puts you out there.

Are you singing on Kim’s song “Tardy For The Party?”
Well it’s Kim [with] Kandi’s help. Kandi changed it from country to dance and so Kandi has a lot of beats going on in the back so you can’t really hear her … It’s not about the vocal — it’s more about the beat. When you are singing country, it is more about the voice. I can’t wait for you guys to see that episode. I think you guys are going to feel for me. “Tardy For The Party” was my song. Now she’s doing “Tardy For The Party,” and I’m not on it. I don’t care if I’m not on it.

I don't know why my reply didn't show up, but let's tet this again....

did You forget Nene was on Bv talking crazy about Khandi before the season even started? Khandi's attitude has nothing to do with Kim, it's Nene. The first time Khandi met Nene, she told Khandi she the HBIC. That would not have sat well with me either. All the jabs she took at Khandi, I wouldn't take her crap either. Nene is a bully and just because khandi won't piggy back, she's streched out of shape.

LOL to bravo having to supply her with a home. She's suppose to be real, brovo didn't have to lease a home for Kim, Khandi, or Lisa. Nene is jealous and it is defiantly showing. Dwight was on Bv the other day alluding to Nene being jealous of the relationship between him and Khandi. I can't wait till season 3, I think it's gonna be a real eye opener. I don't know why she would be mad, she says none of these people are her friends, but we all seen the green eye monster come out when Khandi first hooked up with Kim.

So what, Khandi is taking care of Aj's kids, evidently she got clse and wants to help them out. She can give her time and money to whom ever she wants, she's footing her own bill, not Bravo.

As far as Nene goes, I have little patience for loud mouth, ghetto, bullies, that think they stuff don't stink, calling Khandi ghetto, but I bet Khandi knows whom her father is. Ghetto is not where you was raised, it's a state of mind.
