Perhaps the Real Housewives of Atlanta should be renamed the Real Former Strippers of Atlanta. Yet another member of the entourage—Nene Leakes was the first to admit it—is rumored to have taken part in the esteemed profession. This time it’s Kim Zolciak who supposedly made “a lot of money” working the Cheetah Club under the stage name “Barbi,” a source tells Fox News.

“She didn’t do it for long”—about three months—“but was very popular among the crowd,” the source says. Zolciak’s rep confirms she worked there “as a cocktail waitress,” but Zolciak herself begs to differ: “I’ve never stripped,” she says, calling her—former—rep “a loose cannon spreading lies. I am not affiliated with him whatsoever.” (More Real Housewives of Atlanta stories.)
