NeNe Leakes revealed that her fellow “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum, Kim Zolciak, is “not OK” amid her son’s recent legal troubles.
During Friday, Leakes said she reached out to her “associate” Zolciak last week to check on how she was doing.
Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. — whom Zolciak shares with her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, along with their five other children — on charges of aggravated sexual battery and sodomy, Page Six confirmed at the time.

“I recently spoke to Kim. I think it was last week,” Leakes, 58, said. “I just hit her up, wanted to know how she was doing … and made sure she was OK with what her son is dealing with.
“I know that’s a tough time, and I know she’s not OK,” she added.
Leakes — who last month for a cameo in the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th” special — famously feuded with Zolciak, 48, during their time on “RHOA” before in 2020.

Zolciak, meanwhile, has been dealing with the fallout since her 15-year-old son was taken into custody last month after a female classmate accused him of sexually assaulting her in a coed sauna at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia, in April.
