Kim ZolciakAs OK! reported, Kim Zolciak last week vowed to press charges against her fellow Real Housewife of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes for allegedly assaulting her.

Now she’s made a complete U-turn, telling OK! that she no longer wants to go through with the case — just one day after admitting that she hit NeNe during the scuffle.

“I don’t have to press charges to prove a point to America,” Kim told OK! exclusively. “I hope NeNe in her heart she knows she made a mistake. She doesn’t have to publicly apologize — I’m sure it eats at her. ”

Kim had said she’d held off from having NeNe prosecuted for the alleged April incident because she had hoped her former best friend would apologize for allegedly “choking her out.”

But when NeNe publicly denied to claims, Kim said she would take the matter to the court room.

Now, Kim tells OK! that she’s backing down so as not to rock the boat.

“She has her family, I have a family, we’re on a successful show, and I’m going to try to be the better person,” she said.

But could it be something to do with yesterday’s admission that she “slapped NeNe’s finger out of [her] face”? It looks like we may now never know…

    I can’t believe these “reality” stars(what a joke) are news worthy! LOL are you kidding me. She’s just a woman who married a rich guy….so what….there are THOUSANDS of women like her that pimp themselves out for money. It’s what our society is teaching our children now…it’s sad, pathetic and true.

    • Angie says:

      You’re right Heather! i think she’s got a man’s body of the cover of Playboy! she’s looking for fame, she likes when magazines talk about her! she’s uninteresting! poor guy, some years later, they will divorce and she’ll ask him a looooooooooooot of money!

    Kim is not married she only sleeps with married men so she can have a fabulous lifestyle cause if she had to work she wouldn’t live the way she lives.

    • brett says:

      Kim is a fake and u can tell her looks fakke and if it wasnt supposably BIG POPPA (fake ass married man) who in there right mind would want her she is all fake well let me get back to my Point she is a golddigger A call girl that is how she makes her money….. she need to get a reality check make her do a day of honest work she couldnt do it……. So yes Juls that is the same way i feel

  3. Kim Supporter says:

    So all you woman out their are saying you’re perfect and have never cheated or slept with a man that was attached to another women some way or another?! You don’t know her entire history and why is it your business to even judge her or dig into to her business. Why don’t you try looking in your own life and pick out all the wrongs before doing it to someone you don’t even know. Interesting how in yesterday’s article NeNe state’s she’s against domestic violence but yet she choked Kim in April. Does anyone see anything wrong with this…? It appear’s NeNe is jealous of Kim as you can tell Kim is use to a very exclusive lifestyle and NeNe, we’ll let’s just say she doesn’t belong amongst the CobbSnobs nor fits in with them. NeNe, you have no class, finess or close to being graceful. Everything that comes out of your mouth is posion and very negative, you should really consider moving to Fulton where you’ll fit right in…

    Kim – If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even watch this realtiy show. Keep doing what you’re doing and you should really re-consider calling NeNe a friend.

    • Amber says:

      You know I can’t help but notice you talk about people looking at their own lives before judging someone else’s…. then launch out on a full on insult campaign on Nene. Most of the things you’ve mentioned about Nene could just as easily be used to describe Kim, and she was being a kept woman for the whole world to see. I never claimed to be perfect myself, but… NO I’ve never messed with a man who was involved with another woman in some way. Infedelity has never been a part of my own personal resume. And to say someone doesn’t belong amongst snobs I’d say is more compliment than insult.

    • Tan says:

      wow…….so u are saying that Kim has CLASS?!!! LMAO!

      • brett says:

        how could anyone say that she has class did u see her on the ellen show come on she some thing and then said that aint any of my buisness u keep making it ur buisness and my friends place how do U think she get the the things she gets…… No man in her life……. BIG POPPA sleeeps with Him Come on she calls him and that weekend he spends it with her CALL GIRL No class

    • jijwi says:

      Only skanks like Kim knowingly sleep with married men. As for judging her and digging into her life, she’s on a reality TV show and is a public figure, we can judge and dig all we want.

    • Oh No He Didn't says:

      It cracks me up how Kim rushes to this website to write wonderful things about herself under the disguise of “Kim Supporter”… LOL… pathological liars are soooo predictable AND hilarious!!

    • Whatever says:

      You are so delusional, Its alot out real women who are secure and have self esteem and have not slept with married men or men who are attached. I would have choked her ass out to if she would have put her hands on me. Get your self esteem up girl. You have the worst role model if you support Kim. You co-signing to Kim’s drama you might be in the same boat sleeping with married men.

      smooches

    • Pink Capp says:

      If you want to like Kim that is fine and perfectly within your right, but don’t try to make the rest of the world seem crazy for having a problem with her “sleeping with a married man.” It is sad yet amazing what people will stoop to accept for selfish gain. Sleeping with someone’s husband is wrong on all accounts. He may be estranged from his wife now, but he was not when the thing with Kim started. She keeps trying to make herself look innocent and that is not happening. Her man (Big PappA) is foul and she is a trick. She can call herself a great mother if she wants to but there is nothing great about her. If you think she is great because of her material possessions, then think of her without them because eventually it all goes away. As for the Nene thing, here’s some advise for your hero, if you are going to dish it out, be prepared to take.

    • Lisa says:

      First of all Kim put her business in the limelight whenever all she talks about is Big Popa this and Big Popa that when she knows that he will never ever marry her wanna be azz. Apparently he’s embarrased of her or he would have left his beautiful wife long ago. Basically what I am saying is why would he marry her she’s always available without having to go through the trouble of a prenup. And also your comments about NeNe are down right racist if you ask me. You piece of crap.

    • Tammy Hester says:

      No, I have never cheated or been with a man who is with another woman. Kim and the other women who act a fool should be shame. They are all GROWN women who get on national TV and act worst than children in high school.

      I have no respect for Kim because she is with a married man and allows her children to be exposed to that. YET, she will make statements like “My children are the most important thing in my life” That may be true, but what lesson are you teaching your children when you live off the wealth of a married man? Does Kim ever think that Big Papa will ever leave his wife? NOOOOO.

      When asked how she supports herself at the reunion show, she stated “I was a nurse and I was a waitress and saved money ” What nurse do you know that has save up enough money to spend the way she spends? What former nurse/waitress do you know that is able to live the lifestyle she is living?

      NeNe needs to learn to take it down a notch. She can be crazy at times.

  4. nina says:

    kim is a liarr, theres a reason she dropped the charges. seriously if nene did what she said,why didnt she press charges on sheree. i mean she put hands on kim too.

  5. Lady says:

    I love how Kim’s story has changed, yet Nene’s has stayed the same. NOW she admits that she hit Nene….Perhaps that is the reason she won’t be pressing charges. I guess in her head she felt that being “choked out” by Nene wasn’t equivalent to hitting her, but as Judge Judy says, “Don’t come crying when you are on the losing end of a fight!”

    I am hopeful that Kim will finally find some relief and happiness. At this point she is miserable! You have to be to ONLY date rich married men. Trashy!

  6. DoodyBug says:

    Isn’t it great how the media manipulates it to look as though Kim’s story has changed? I didn’t read anywhere in the original story where Kim was asked if she touched NeNe at all and denied it? Keep reeling us in, great job!! These two ladies are probably out having a drink now at our expense, loving that they are keeping us glued to the TV, loving the drama in their life!

  7. Luv-n-NeNe says:

    I think there is some serious racial tension in this group. You can see how NeNe and Sheree were not getting along then they team up to assault Kim. What do you expect when you throw one white girl into the black group? She is going to be called every name in the book and be made out to be the bad guy every time. And for everyone calling Kim a gold digger that only sleeps with married men – show me the proof? Big Poppa was going through a divorce when he was with Kim. To top it off -> all of the RHOA are gold diggers, not just Kim.

    • itsme! says:

      I am neither a fan of Kim, Nene or Sheree, but I have to agree that they all have golddigger tendencies. Racial tension? Who are you to say? You’re not on the set during filming. MTV has been throwing one black person into a group of 6 whites (Real World) for years, but you don’t notice the racial tension then? It’s called editing. Maybe they have a reason for ganging up on Kim (I am neither a fan of Nene, Kim or Sheree). Kim seems to blow wherever the wind takes her, she doesn’t seem to exert much of her own personality (IMO).

    • Cindy says:

      I absolutely agree with you. Without a doubt it’s blacks against the whites in this. OMG and for OK to make a big deal out of Kim slapping Nene’s finger is unbelievable. Slapping a finger and trying to choke someone to death are two different things to begin with. I would have done a whole lot more than slapping Nene’s finger if she had just gotten finished trying to choke me to death. Of course Kim has an issue about filing chargies. Bravo probalby told her it was in violation of their contract and Bravo doesn’t want that kind of publicity. I wish Kim would go ahead and file the charges because all of these black women on the show except for Kandi are turning very violent and physical during this show. I do NOT trust Lisa either. My sixth sense tells me that behind all the rumors about Kim it’s actually Lisa spreading all these rumors and even the ones about herself. Even though Lisa pretends to be the nice girl, I suspect she is the most evil of them all. I feel so bad for Kim. These women have no class and Kim has more class in her little finger than any of these other women will have in in their lives. They all act very, very ghetto.

    • Benjamin says:

      There is definetely tension between the ladies and their respective cliques and catty groups, but I don’t think the tension has to do anything with race. Rather, it has to to deal with the catty- And lets face it, the maturity level of these grown women, but it sure does make exciting tv lol.

  8. America - black women have class says:

    I like the show and think that it is making a lot of money and laughs, but at the expense of the reputation of black women. I hate that in this group of women Ne-Ne has been singled out as the loud alley one with NO CLASS, but that is how the show presents her. I don’t know if this is for dramatic effect or this is just the way she is , but America black women do have class and are not all loud.Again, We DO HAVE CLASS and are refine. Did Kim lie ? Well we will never know. Should the friendship be dissolved ? Yes definitely…..OR better yet : is this a situation made up by the producers of the show to enhance the ratings? hummm…

    • Benjamin says:

      Well I don’t totally agree with this comment. People are individuals and this is a show not a looking glass into black life. If anyone sees the show and forms an opinion about all black women from this show, they are really….ignorant and too far gone to worry about. They most likely had their mind made up anyway and trying to use this show as a justification for their grossly inadequate opinion. Beacause really who uses reality tv shows as a basis to form an opinion about a whole race of people. Do you think that that reality tv show Jackass is accurate depiction of white people? If you agree, you too are one of those people who fall in the cohort of ignorant people.

  9. what's the truth says:

    All of you are quick to judge. How do you know for sure that Kim is spreading all the rumors? Why because NENE says so? I think that Nene is the fake one out of the group. I think that a lot of people are jealous of Kim. I am not a kim fan but i do feel bad for her. I think all of these women on this show have problems except for Kandi. I do not care for Sheere at all she acts like she is better than everyone.I think Kim had every right to smack Nene’s hand but that is not cause for Nene to choke someone.

  10. miami,fl says:

    In other news, Nene’s broke husband Gregg Leakes’s legal records are making its rounds. According to a public search, Gregg has been involved in 17 legal cases in recent years. These cases range from non payment of child support , receiving stolen pr…opery, to writing bad checks.People with skeletons might want to think twice before choosing to appear on reality shows. Just a thought.

  11. tre' says:

    TO EVERYONE……I used to like NeNe and never cared much for Kim & still don’t-but I do have to say that NeNe is jealous,and very negative.She even managed to ruffle new cast member Kandi’s feathers.Not once have the cameras actually caught Kim lying or talking smack.NeNe is the only one who keeps re-hashing last seasons drama without admitting to any wrong doing of her own.It’s really easy to keep accusing someone over & over again whether it’s true or not-eventually if you say it enough people will believe you.Apparently it’s ok in her eyes to make fun of a freind & sing a song about that friend & just dog her for the entire episode-NeNe was clearly jealous that Kim & Sheree were getting along( NeNe reminds me of that friend who can’t stand your friendships with other people-who only wants you to be her friend.)She has never apologized to Kim for mocking her soo badly & continues to act like it’s no big deal.As for Kim I just feel bad for her this season-NeNe was WAY out of line mocking Kim the way she did at her wig party-what kind of friend does that for that long?!?!?NeNe does NOT know when to stop!Why on earth would Kim want to finish the song with her after that??And NeNe is out of her mind if she thinks that the song needed her help(thats why Kandi helped-she made it great,Kandi is TALENTED unlike NeNe) Now as for Kim being involved with a so called married man-people keep your judgement to yourselves!! We don’t know what happens behind closed doors & I’m sure that if Poppa’s soon to be ex-wife had a problem with it she would have confronted Kim on camera–I know I would have…I’m completely against spouses cheating on each other,but we don’t know if Big Poppa’s marriage is one of interest…rich people do this kind of stuff all the time- they do not play by the moral set of rules as the rest of us(apparently money changes everything)All of the women come off as golddiggers except for Kandi-who has earned her own money the good ol’fashioned way-WORKING FOR IT!!! How is Kim a patholigical liar??? It seems to me that NeNe has poisoned the rest of the cast into thinking this….and the cameras have not shown Kim talking smack about anyone to newcomer Kandi.The same cannot be said about the other cast members.(Kandi excluded) If Kim choses to file charges thats her choice-she hasn’t changed the story she’s just unsure how to proceed legally(Bravo definately has something to do with this) Either way I can totally picture NeNe getting out of control & Kim did have the right to slap NeNe’s hand out of her face- for godssake NeNE just choked her.What is in that ATL water that is making this cast so violent????? And for the record Kandi Burruss is the ONLY woman with class on that show.

  12. Yvette says:

    Kim is a liar, she uses people and altough i think Nene has a bit of a temper Kim knew that already Nene has never changed she has always been Nene. I use to like Kim but she likes to play people and if Nene choked her maybe its what she needed and where are the bruises. I heard the actual police recording on Youtube. Heffer didnt even no where she was when she called the police how dumb are you. I couldnt have a friend with an IQ of a fruit fly. And on her sleeping with a married man god bless because what goes around comes around. In my hood its called a kept women or a whore. I hope Nene blast whoever the hell big poppa is since anyman that loves me should tell the world instead of hiding his face all the time.

  13. Devalyn Puryear says:

    If the pro Kim fans are really being honest, they know that she is a high class hooker. She puts it in your face to see. Big Papa is married with a wife and children. Kim has no job but a black AMEX card that she uses at will. She has a townhouse, an Escalade and a Bently all without a job. (Even if it isn’t real, it’s made to appear so on TV). The situation with NeNe is another story. Do I believe that Kim smacked NeNe’s finger out of her face? Yes. That’s called putting your hands on someone Kim if no one has ever told you. And, yes she could have just slapped the hell out of you and called it a day but I think you got the message. You think you’re capable of going toe to toe with NeNe and Sheree. They have both proven to you that you can’t. And as a last comment, never say that its about “morals and values” because you have clearly shown that you don’t have any. If we all know that you’re sleeping with a married man who has a family, so does your children. Don’t act like your children don’t have eyes or ears.
