The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Kim Zolciak Does Not Have Cancer

thumbnail icon: The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Kim Zolciak Does Not Have Cancer

There were so many preview clips on-line in the run-up to the Housewives reunion that it was kind of anti-climactic. Sure, it's exciting for NeNe to threaten to pull Kim's wig off, and even the moderator (Andy "Whoops, My Life!" Cohen) was taken aback by the vehemence with which Lisa Wu threatened to flip Kim over the sofa, but those things didn't actually result in wig pulling or sofa flipping. So, you know, meh. But boy, everyone sure hates Kim! Not just the ladies, either. Cohen's questions to her were more pointed than to the rest of the cast. And when they brought out the honorary sixth housewife, Dwight, he immediately busted all up on Kim's hairpiece. OH SNAP. It was almost too much to bear. Almost. Except that Kim really brings it on herself.

Personally, as intense as the almost-fights and the Kim bashing were, nothing was as shocking as the part where Kim talked about her hair:

Wait, I'm sorry, what? You had a cancer scare three years ago which is not, ultimately, why you wear a wig, because of how you didn't have cancer, so that's something else, which you don't want to talk about, but everyone is still supposed to be moved by the poignant time where you thought you had cancer but didn't? We're all just trying to get through the day, and far be it from me to tell an international celebrity like Kim Zolciak what to use as a turning point in her life, although on that note, what was even eye-opening about the experience? It certainly didn't convince her to stop smoking, or not date a married man. I guess she came to the stark realization that she had to make her dream of becoming the most hated person on a third-generation spin-off reality show about wallet monsters on a niche cable channel known for pandering to the homosexual population. No, yeah. It's basically The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

Will someone flip her over the sofa, please? What does a guy have to do to get a lying, self-deluded attention-hooker flipped over a goddamn sofa around here?

wallet monsters!!!! they're everywhere.

"i wouldn't choose to walk around with a hair piece. nobody would." "beautiful hair was my signature."

actually, Kim, plenty of looks/image obsessed people (especially people who think their hair is their signature) like you DO choose to wear fake hair because it would be impossible to achieve such a hideous plastic look without it.

Does it takes three years for hair to grow?

It's like that episode of The Sarah Silverman Program where Sarah gets an HIV test and decides to become an AIDs activist.

Except less "haha comedy show" funny and more "crazy bitch" funny.

Amelia-like you, I had cancer and chemo and lost my hair and I am outraged that this woman has the nerve to claim that she actually had cancer. She is a living nightmare.
Bravo-get this woman some psychiatric help and someone please call Child Protective Services to get her 2 children out of her house!

Did anyone ever find out about John McDougal and Dan Toce? These were the 2 married men from CT that she fucked and ruined the families lives...And no, the Dan Toce, "Her High-school sweet heart " who didn't even know her when he was in high school- is not some 70 year old guy. I know b/c he was married to my best friend while kim was fucking him.

OOH MY GOD!!! What a show, First of all, Love ya NeNe.,and Kim and Sheree made fool's of there selves, I truly turned my head in EMBARRASSMENT for Kim when she spoke about her so called cancer, What DOCTOR would tell someone just because they lost some weight and lost some hair that they were 90% sure they had cancer??? PPPPLLLEEASE. Kim you truly do need some medical help.== Mental help. and Sheree it is so obvious you are so damn jealous of NeNe. You will never be able to compete with NeNe. as for Lisa and Deshawn. Lisa is not a peace maker she knew by telling Sherre about NeNe's song that she was starting drama. Deshawn was the real peace maker.

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVED THIS SHOW!!! NeNe is sooo real and so great. I would love to have her as a friend. Lisa and DeShawn too, but NeNe is so hilarious you just get drawn to her. As for Sheree...why didn't she get it worse than she did??? The entire season she repeatedly stated how pretty, beautiful and popular she was/is and seemed to always have a knack for posing for the camera, any camera, even when there were no reasons to pose??? So self absorbed and there's so not a reason to be!!!

For Kim to say her hair was falling out & losing weight because she had cancer tells how ignorant she is. The cancer isn't what causes the weight loss or hair loss - it's the chemo that causes the hair loss. Radiation causes the sickness. For her to fabricate something like that tells how truly sick (mentally) she really is!!!

Kim crying about the loss of her hair was so intense; she acted like it was the worst thing that could ever possibly happen to someone.

I thought that she stated in an earlier episode that she had a nursing degree. So wouldn't it make sense for her to know that it's the chemo and radiation that makes your hair fall out? yet another lie.......

I wanted to stand and cheer for Lisa when she slammed Kim!!!
Lisa and NeNe are great. They are the kind of girls you want to hang
out with. Sheree is the kind you want to slap the #$%@ out of because she
thinks she is soooooooo something she is not. I think she has a mirror like the
stepmother in Snow White.

First of all Kim is a freakin liar, let me point a few things out to all of you.

Ok we all know the CANCER thing is a big lie, no need to debate that.
However, did anyone peep out Sheree shook her head when Kim started lying to Lisa about calling her to ask about the song that NeNe sang about her that night in the car. Kim claimed that Lisa told her on the phone, HOWEVER, the episode I saw, Sheree told Kim.

Was Lisa wrong for telling Sheree, I dont think so, because its like she said on the show in front of NeNe. Sheree was her friend, she did not hold any loyalty to NeNe or to Kim. However she did tell NeNe she discussed the situation with Sheree and apologized if it offended her. That is what I like about Lisa. At least if she said something she owned up to it and gives a flat out reason as to why, and if you do not like it then OH Well.

DaShawn is cool and all, but I think she still needs to get a clue. Rather than spending money on staff, she needs to take the time to learn how to throw a fundraiser. ANYBODY knows that you do not make up fliers and put them in stores. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AUCTIONING OFF EXPENSIVE PRIZES, because you will NOT attract that sort of crowd.

Sheree, needs to stop living above her means and realize, SHE NOT GETTING THAT 7 figure settlement and be happy with WHATEVER she gets. She is NOT GOD'S gift to this EARTH and whether she is own it or not, OUR WORLD will continue to rotate.

NeNe is just NeNe. I love how she did not play it up for the cameras, she is who she is, just like Lisa. Let's face it. Lisa and NeNe are two people that we all know, because we have friends just like them.

Just to let you all know, I am not an advocate for Kim, but you can have weight loss from the cancer (not just the chemo). I am in medical school and there are several significant changes that happen to a person who has cancer and it isn't always from the drugs. It just depends on what kind of cancer you have. Many people come to the doctor because of unexplained weight loss or hair changes (and, while that can be caused by countless other things, thyroid problems for example) and cancer is always on the differential diagnosis!

I loved the show. NeNe is tha best I wanna be her when I grow up.. I wish Lisa would have flipped Kim over that sofa. I first wanted to give Kim the benefit of doubt thinking maybe she was all over the place because she was so heavily attacked and maybe a bit nervous. But when she back tracked the lie about how she found out about NeNe song she lost me. NeNe was just being NeNe she did clown Kim when she first heard her sing right in front of her face, so why was it suck a shock that she would have continued to clown her. Somebody should suggest that the next time KIm goes shopping she might stop in a book store and buy a dictionary, Just in case she has to spell cat again.

No doctor will tell you that they are 90% sure you have cancer with out having checked you out and run the tests themselves. I was pretty sickened at the fact that she would even say that when clearly it is untrue, and then didn't want to talk about why she didn't have "real hair". Like her fake cancer scare had any kind of relevance other then to attention seek. She is always drinking, in her car- when Sharee told her about NeNe's song... where did she even get a glass of wine.. in her car... in the parking lot? If you can't even go out (in the middle of the afternoon, mind you) when your driving and not drink... you have a serious problem. When your kids are begging you to quit smoking to your face how can you not feel bad for that? Their little lungs :( I bet she smoked while pregnant. Whoever said some one needs to call CPS is right. NeNe seems so ghetto trash,she did talk a lot about Kim, while they were supposed to be friends while I noticed Kim never really said anything about NeNe other then good things until they became not friends any more. Sheree keeps talking about how she is so successful other people are intimidated by that... she married rich? Waiting on a big divorce settlement, that is NOT successful. The other three, I think they are great lol. Deshawn is definitely my favorite though!!
