ALL THE DRAMA
TMZ.com

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum Kenya Moore's changing her tune -- she's now sending well-wishes to Kim Zolciak ... after previously claiming Kim might be lying about her divorce/no-divorce drama.

We got Kenya in NYC, where she said seeing the police body cam footage of Kim and Kroy Biermann during a domestic dispute made her rethink the situation.

After seeing them hurl accusations at the cops, Kenya says divorce just isn't an easy thing to navigate, especially with kids involved.

IN TEARS WITH COPS

Kenya, who's been going through her own divorce since 2021, still questions how legit Kim's "divorce" filing really was -- but she's seen enough to send her best to the Biermanns, regardless.

The shift to kindness comes not long after she tweeted Kim lies "through her plastic teeth."

'RHOA' fans know it's been an up-and-down relationship between Kim and Kenya for a while, with most of the drama playing out on camera -- but after seeing the body cam, she's singing a slightly different tune ... for now.

BTW, Kenya also gave us her take on her estranged hubby Marc Daly being pissed about their kiddo, Brooklyn, being present during an 'RHOA' fight. Sounds like there's a cease and desist in Marc's future!!!

Teresa Giudice Doubles Down on Sofia Vergara Hate ... Mocks Spanish Accent

"RUDEST WOMAN I'VE EVER MET"
Namaste B$tches

Teresa Giudice loves to slam Sofia Vergara over a years-old incident that left her sour -- once again recounting the selfie snub story ... and again mocking Sofia's background.

The 'RHONJ' star was telling the old tale to her cohost, Melissa Pfeister, on their podcast 'Namaste B$tches' -- presumably because SV is back in the news with this divorce between her and Joe Manganiello. As such, Teresa thought it'd be good to bring this thing back up.

"DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM"
Namaste B$tches

As she explained back in 2017 -- when this went down -- Teresa says she was at some event, where Sofia was also present. At the suggestion of their publicists ... Teresa and Sofia were supposed to take a picture together -- but TG claims Sofia threw a big fit about it.

In fact, she alleges Sofia was pretty rude in expressing her disapproval over the selfie ... apparently asking her own publicist why she'd been asked to do this with Teresa.

BAD BLOOD
TMZ.com

Obviously, that pissed Teresa off ... and she's again saying Sofia should've been nicer -- because, in Teresa's mind, she comes from humble beginnings. Here in this latest podcast clip, she's not as explicit (or xenophobic) as she was in 2017 when she told this same story.

At the time, she said Sofia had an obligation to be kind because she was an immigrant ... and here, she again suggests the same thing ... making fun of her Colombian accent to boot.

Teresa seems to think that because Sofia came from a foreign country in Latin America ... there's an extra layer of humility she needs to express in her dealings with American stars.

A bad take then, and just as s****y now if we're being honest. Keep doing you, T!

Kyle Richards Shops w/ Morgan Wade in Aspen ... All Business!!!

update

12:55 PM PT -- As it turns out, there's a perfectly good explanation for why Kyle is hanging with Morgan in Aspen of all places -- and it's strictly business, as TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Morgan's actually got a show in town later this weekend, which explains why she's there herself. As for Kyle, we're hearing she's actually shooting a docuseries in Aspen as well ... so, it seems like their paths naturally crossed.

Folks are, no doubt, going to still speculate about KR and MW -- seeing how they've been hanging out a lot lately -- but on its face, it would appear they're just good friends.

Kyle Richards isn't putting out the fire over speculation about her and Morgan Wade -- in fact, she's kinda throwing gas on ... 'cause now, they're out in Colorado, just the 2 of 'em.

The 'RHOBH' star was spotted hitting the town in Aspen Friday with none other than Morgan tagging along, right by her side. In photos obtained by TMZ, you can see them cruising into a shop and perusing the shelves ... eyeing jewelry and other knickknacks strewn about.

We're told that while Kyle and Morgan did have a little entourage with them ... they were mostly left to their own devices, and didn't really leave each other's side during the pop-in.

Now, while they were definitely rolling together ... eyewitnesses say there were no clear signs of PDA between them during this outing. Still, though -- them continuing to hang out as much as they do (which is a lot) is further fueling rumors that they're a romantic item.

They've publicized their close friendship for about a year and a half now -- going on vacays together and whatnot ... but folks are thinking they're actually dating now, especially in the wake of Kyle's current separation with her longtime husband, Mauricio Umansky.

Kyle recently made it seem like she and Mauricio were working things out -- but in this instance ... the guy is nowhere to be found. So it's unclear where things stand, TBH.

Whether Morgan is Kyle's girlfriend or not ... at least she's in good company through all this.

Happy bargain hunting, you two.

Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann Hit Chili's As a Family ... Amid Renewed Drama

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann might be bickering again amid calling off their divorce -- but they're still breaking bread together, and doing it in public, no less.

TMZ has obtained photos of Kim, Kroy and their kids hitting a Chili's Sunday in Georgia, and they all sat in the same booth ... with eyewitnesses telling us mom and dad were right next to each other during their 45-minute meal.

While they might've been shoulder to shoulder, our sources tell us Kim and Kroy weren't interacting much. On its face though, it looks like they were playing nice as a family.

It's interesting they went to such a highly trafficked restaurant, especially amid some renewed bad blood we're hearing is brewing between them right now.

As we reported ... sources are telling us Kim and Kroy are fighting once more, this after some police body cam footage was released from earlier this year -- when they were still in the throes of their nasty divorce, which they've withdrawn from the courts.

Some harsh allegations were hurled on both sides during a police visit in May. Kroy claimed Kim had a gambling problem ... and Kim said Kroy might be suffering from a brain injury.

IN TEARS WITH COPS

While they're not on great terms now (again) ... it seems Kim and Kroy can keep it together enough to still hit the town as a family unit, and put on a united front in front of other people.

NeNe Leakes on Kim Zolciak Divorce Wasn't Play For TV Return ... But It May Help!!!

BY THE GRACE OF GOD
TMZ.com

NeNe Leakes isn't buying the theory dominating the internet ... Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann got into a super nasty divorce and then suddenly reconciled as a way to get back into reality TV.

We got NeNe at LAX and asked her about Kim and Kroy suddenly calling off their divorce, and if it was all just a ploy to return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" ... as lots of folks believe to be the case.

NeNe doubts Kim and Kroy would go to those lengths ... she thinks all the issues with their marriage were legit, as well as all the divorce drama we documented ... and she just can't imagine Kim and Kroy going down that road just to get on TV again.

Of course, the 'RHOA' alum says Kim and Kroy's divorce would make for some TV gold ... and she says all the publicity and mudslinging will probably help Kim get back in front of cameras.

THIS IS A MIRACLE
TMZ.com

TMZ broke the story ... Kim and Kroy are working through their issues the old-fashioned way ... there's no couple's therapy ... they're just talking every day and relying on their shared Christian faith.

NeNe says God is a great healer so she's happy to see Kim and Kroy leaning on their faith ... and she tells us why Kim and Kroy's divorce turnaround is super similar to her ups and downs with Kim.

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky Share Light Moment On Instagram ... After Recent Separation

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky might be separated ... but the two are still having fun at each other's expense.

Case in point ... Mauricio posted a series of recent Instagram photos looking buff with his shirt off inside a gym. In the caption, he admits he was fat and out of shape six years ago ... but his plan is to get more fit each year going forward.

Kyle then jumped in the comments section and playfully needled her hubby of 27 years, writing, "Must be Ozempic," with 2 laughing emojis. Maurico responded with three smiling and crying emojis.

Clearly, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars were joking around about the controversial weight-loss medication.

Nice to see the pair sharing a light moment after they reportedly split earlier this month, although they haven't gone far from one another ... the couple are still living under the same roof as they try to iron out their differences and take care of their kids.

This latest interaction seems to put them in a good place. Keep it up.

'Real Housewives of Potomac' Brutal Fight Goes Down in Club!!! Woman Slammed to Ground

POTOMAC PUNCHES
TMZ.com

An absolutely insane fight went down between friends of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" cast members ... with fists flying and women getting yanked down by their hair in this crazy video.

This exclusive video, obtained by TMZ, shows the cast breaking up a fight between friend of the show Keiana Stewart and another woman, Deborah Williams while at Zebbie's Garden in D.C. Thursday night for Ashley Darby's fashion line launch.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Candiace Dillard Bassett told police someone threw a drink at her ... and Keiana says she was hit in the forehead with a glass before getting pulled down in the physical altercation.

You can see Candiace and Ashley clearly in the video, trying to break up the messy brawl ... which apparently resulted in some spilled blood. We're told cops responded, but no no arrests were made. However, police are still investigating.

Sources connected to the show tell us production had already wrapped when the fight went down, so the crew's cameras didn't capture the fight. As Julia Roberts would say ... big mistake, huge.

Larsa Pippen 'Embarrassed' & 'Traumatized' ... Over MJ's Comments On Marcus Relationship

BAD TIMING
Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan

Larsa Pippen says she was not a fan of Michael Jordan's recent comments on her relationship with His Airness' son ... saying they were flat-out embarrassing and traumatizing.

Scottie Pippen's ex got real about the situation on the newest episode of her and Marcus Jordan's "Separation Anxiety" podcast ... saying that when MJ claimed last week that he didn't approve of her romance with his son -- it really, really bothered her.

While Marcus said he believed it was all blurted out in jest -- in fact, he suggested his dad may have been a little tipsy off tequila when he fired off the remarks -- she said she wasn't laughing at all.

"I didn't think it was funny," she said. "There's nothing funny about it."

"I was kind of embarrassed," she added.

Larsa explained that most of her issues with the comments stemmed from previous conversations she's had with Marcus and his family.

She said she had been ensured over and over again that there were no problems amongst the Jordans about their relationship -- and it had all led to her ultimately telling media members that Michael was OK with everything.

"I was like traumatized," she said. "I'm like, 'Oh, my God. What are we going to do?' People think I lied."

Marcus, though, said Michael reached out multiple times after he made the remarks and insisted he was OK with the couple. Marcus added that he believed MJ didn't outright say that last week because he didn't want it to fuel any speculation that the two were only dating in order to stick it to Scottie -- his former Bulls teammate who he's since had big beef with.

But Larsa said on the pod it's all water under the bridge at this point ... telling their audience she and Marcus have talked it out -- and they're moving forward united.

"I feel good right now," she said. "I feel like we talked it through."

Kim Zolciak Posts Thirst Trap ... After Calling Off Divorce

071123-kim-zolciak-kal
BLONDE BOMBSHELL

Kim Zolciak has a new lease on life (and love) -- which she seems to be signaling to the world with a sneak peek at her rockin' mom bod.

The 'RHOA' star posted some footage Monday night on her Instagram where she's whipping her hair around after a salon visit and looks very happy with the results ... as she thanked the owners of the joint.

Of course, the obvious image here that stands out -- besides her golden locks -- is her cleavage, because she posted the vid wearing just her bra, and Kim's cups runneth over.

Thirst traps from 'Housewives' are nothing new, but the timing of this one is interesting. Obviously, Kim just patched things up with her husband, Kroy Biermann, and called off their divorce ... which had gotten very ugly very quickly.

If this were a week ago, everyone would assume Kim did it to get under Kroy's skin -- but now that they're mending fences ... we're guessing she's just feeling good, and wanting to show she's looking good too.

It's a vibe.

Like we reported, Kim and Kroy are working through their issues the old-fashioned way -- just talking every day, without any 3rd party help.

A friendly reminder ... Kroy's got a hot wife!

'RHOBH' Cameras, Ladies Back Into Action ... Shooting Pick-Up Scenes After Kyle & Mauricio Split

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is quickly jumping back into production for pick-ups to chase the buzz surrounding Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky's split ... TMZ has learned

Sources connected to the reality series tell TMZ the crew is going back to film more of season 13, and the ladies will begin shooting this week.

It's unclear how long the women will be back in front of the camera for, but we're told it won't be a terribly long shoot schedule ... the main goal is to get the fallout and talking points around the breakup.

The season originally wrapped filming in May, but clearly, producers felt it was worth it to get cameras back up.

You'll recall, People first reported last week that the 2 were pulling the plug on their 27-year marriage -- claiming they've been separated for some time but were keeping things friendly while living under the same roof.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Kyle and Mauricio put out a joint statement after news broke, denying the breakup rumors ... although admitting it's been a rough year for them. They also spent time together during the 4th of July.

Kyle Richards is trying to set the record straight on her love life ... she says she's not single but is mum on rumors about her relationship with country music star Morgan Wade.

The 'RHOBH' star was gassing up her Range Rover in L.A. Friday when a paparazzo asked her about her relationship status.

Kyle says she's not living the single life. She says she's "very good friends" with Morgan, but would not address the buzz about the 2 in the wake of her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky.

There are lots of social media photos of Kyle and Morgan together ... Kyle's clearly a fan of Morgan's music, offering up her favorite song.

Kyle and Mauricio are calling BS on rumors they're divorcing after 27 years of marriage.

Kyle and Mauricio spent the Fourth of July together Tuesday ... posing for photos with his arm around her.

Interesting to hear Kyle say she's no single woman.

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Call Off Divorce!!!

According to court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- both Kim and Kroy filed Friday to dismiss their petitions for divorce.

Our sources say the two are really getting along well at the moment, and want to figure out how to make things work out ... especially for the sake of their 4 young kids. We're told love was never an issue between the two, and they've got a solid core.

The filing comes only days after Kim, Kroy and their kids were seen attending church in Atlanta.

THIS IS A MIRACLE
TMZ.com

As we reported ... the divorce has been seriously contentious. Kroy's accused Kim of having a gambling problem, and she's said she feared for their kid's safety around Kroy because he smokes weed.

TMZ broke the story -- Kim and Kroy fell under serious financial hardships just before the initial divorce filing -- with a more than $1M bill to the IRS.

We covered the drama in a previous episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky Celebrate Fourth Of July Together ... Amid Reports of a Split

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky claim to be separated ... but you wouldn't know it from these photos.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars posted a series of images on Instagram, showing the couple very much together while enjoying the Fourth of July with their family.

In one photo, the couple is all smiles standing next to each other and 2 of their daughters.

Another picture captures Kyle and Mauricio hanging out with their dog on a quaint street in a mountain town. Not only do they seem happy, but Mauricio also has his arm around Kyle -- a sure sign of affection.

Makes you wonder just how serious their split is. Remember, People magazine reported they were separated ... but still living under the same roof as friends.

So, are they just friends and good co-parents, or are they working out their marital issues as husband and wife?

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Well, that brings us to Kyle and Mauricio's IG statement in which they denied rumors they were divorcing while admitting they were working on their 27-year marriage.

Whatever their relationship status is ... seems like things are going smoothly for the moment. Let's hope it stays that way.

BLAME IT ON PRODUCTION
TMZ.com

NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak were once sworn enemies, but the two have changed their tune ... now acting as a support system for each other during really tough times.

NeNe was out shopping on Rodeo Drive in Bev Hills and told us she'd recently reached out to her fellow "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star in the midst of her messy divorce with Kroy Biermann.

NeNe tells us while the two chatted, it's still hard to tell exactly how Kim's doing behind the scenes -- every divorce is hard, especially with kids involved.

Fans of the show know NeNe and Kim haven't always seen eye to eye, but NeNe tells us Kim reached out to her during one of her low points when her husband Gregg died in 2021, so it felt right to reciprocate the love.

We've broken a bunch of stories about the huge mess between Kim and Kroy ever since she filed for divorce in May. Since then, there's been a big fight over custody of their kids, with both sides waging war ... Kroy's asking for sole legal and physical.

Kim called the police last month, -- claiming Kroy threatened to file a kidnapping report on a family friend who took their kid to a rodeo. Clearly, there's no sign of things easing up.

BTW, we didn't just talk Kim with NeNe ... asking if she'd ever consider a return to 'RHOA.' She, naturally, threw a little shade at the show's ratings before revealing one thing that MIGHT make her consider a return ... check out the clip to find out!

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky Call BS On Rumors They're Divorcing ... Stop Planting False Stories!!

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are firing back over rumors they're divorcing after the longtime couple announced their separation Monday.

In their first public statement on the matter, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars posted to Instagram it was categorically untrue they were ending their 27-year marriage.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

They continued, “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”

The couple ended by saying they're working through their issues and urging everyone not to speculate and write bogus stories about the status of their marriage.

People magazine first reported Kyle and Mauricio separated a while ago, but they're still living under the same roof and remain friends.

The two tied the knot in 1996 and have 3 daughters together -- Sophia, Alexia, and Portia. Both have been appearing on RHOBH since 2012, while Mauricio is also a real estate agent with his own Netflix reality show, "Buying Beverly Hills."

'RHOBH' Kyle Richards Separated From Mauricio Umansky

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have reportedly separated ... putting an end to their 27 years of marriage.

According to People, the 'RHOBH' star and her real estate broker husband have been separated for a while, but are still living together. It's unclear when they called it quits, but we're told the 2 are still remaining friendly.

For those unaware, Kyle and Mauricio got married back in 1996 after meeting in a nightclub just 2 years before. They ended up having 3 daughters together -- Sophia, Alexia, and Portia.

Fans of the reality series were introduced to Kyle and Mauricio in 2012 when the show premiered, sticking around for all 12 seasons. Mauricio once claimed they're the same, happy couple whether or not the cameras are rolling.

Mauricio responded to rumors back in April when Kyle was spotted without her wedding ring -- shutting it down and claiming they weren't getting a divorce.

There's also been speculation that Kyle is dating country singer Morgan Wade ... having spent a decent amount of time together recently. They also allegedly have matching heart tattoos.
