One Strange Rock is a wonderfully rich, weird look at our planet

If the BBC series Planet Earth was placed into a blender along with the movies Gravity and The Fifth Element; an electronic dance party; and Neil deGrasse Tyson' cosmological musings, and that was shaped into a swirling mass of deeply personal stories intercut with scientific insight, the result would be close to One Strange Rock (National Geographic, Mondays at 10). It's a fantastic new unscripted series. One Strange Rock is an emotionally and visually rich brain party... keep reading this story »

NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak, & Kandi Burruss Discuss Kroy Driving Kim & NeNe’s Comedy Show Outburst

After a slow start, this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is very heated thanks to NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak. As polarizing as they both can be, almost anyone can admit that they know how to bring it when it comes to stirring up controversy for this show.

Aside from feuding with each other over bug videos, handicap parking spaces, accusations of racism, and health diagnoses, they are both bringing individual controversies to the show as well. The women in the cast continue calling out Kim for her close relationship with husband/chauffeur Kroy Biermann and Kim just doesn’t understand any bit of what they’ve been attempting to convey. And then there’s NeNe who made some very offensive remarks about rape during a comedy show. Yikes- that goes beyond “bringing it for the show,” that’s for sure.

During the latest episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show, Kim, NeNe, and Kandi Burruss discussed all of the latest drama in the ATL. And in Kim’s case, that just means that she continued to justify her actions and refuse to acknowledge that anyone else might have a valid point or concern.

Kim explained, “When I sat down with Kandi, I was already heated because I already heard that she was calling around telling people that Kroy shouldn’t be driving me places.” She pointed out, “We drink at most places.” We are well-aware. Kim has had a solo cup in her hand since episode 1.

Mrs. Biermann continued, “I’m always having wine, so Kroy drives me most places. So I was like, ‘Do you want me to get a DUI?’ What is your MO and why are you mad that Kroy is driving me fucking anywhere? It’s seriously insane to me.” No one cares that Kroy is driving Kim. The issue is that she uses his presence in the parking lot as a constant excuse to leave early.

Kandi explained, “She just be looking for a reason to have to get up, like ‘I can just go to my husband and six kids,’ as if nobody else has a husband, as if nobody else has kids.” Exactly.

NeNe theorized, “I think they’re overly dependent on each other. I’m not exactly sure why she needs Kroy around. I mean, he’s her husband, so I guess she wants him around.”

Kim claimed, “Between NeNe and Kandi, there’s some kind of issue with Kroy. Literally it’s those two that have a problem with Kroy.” Again, I don’t think that either of them have any issue with Kroy or the fact that he’s driving Kim. The issue is with Kim and the way she conducts herself when she uses Kroy as an excuse when he’s parked outside of the house.

Kim shared, “I honestly try to understand their point of view, but I just cannot wrap my mind around it. I just can’t.” Clearly. Kandi said, “I don’t really think Kroy is there to jump on the camera. He’s just there in the background, waiting in the wings for her to summon him.”

And then Kandi and NeNe addressed a far bigger controversy than Kroy driving Kim around: NeNe’s rape comment at her comedy show. NeNe justified the situation by saying, “I’m not a professional comedian, so I really don’t know how to deal with a heckler. What actually happened was, this one particular night, the person in the front row was saying ‘Go kill yourself.’ I literally don’t know how I responded. I just responded.” She continued, “It happened so quick. Like literally, it was seconds, not even a freaking minute happened. It was seconds.”

She also shared, “My agents were there. We didn’t think anything. We thought nothing of it and it just kind of happened.” Really? Not one of them was at all concerned that NeNe told an audience member to “get raped by an Uber driver”? How did no one worry about that comment going public?

Since NeNe was going to open up for Kandi’s band Xscape on tour, Kandi weighed in on the scandal. She said, “People always want to blame me and say ‘Kandi kicked NeNe off the tour.’ So that is not what happened. I did not want to put her off the tour. No, I did not agree with what she said, but I do understand that a lot of times when we are just talking shit, things are said that are just offensive.”

NeNe continued to defend herself: “When you come to a comedy show, people are drinking. People are being vulgar. I mean people are saying all kinds of things. I apologized for what came out of my mouth because I never meant to affect anybody or any other female or male. When somebody say hurt things to you, you say hurt back to them.”
