Kandi Sues Kim

Don’t Be Tardy & The Kandi Factory Air Tonight! Kim Zolciak Calls Kandi Burruss “Shameless;” Wants ‘Tardy For The Party’ Lawsuit Thrown Out!

by Mary on April 16th, 2013

Tonight two ladies who cannot stand each other face-off in dueling spinoffs and then they have to appear on WWHL together! Ok, just kidding about the WWHL part, but don't you wish?!

Kim Zolciak is being sued by former Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star Kandi Burruss over the single Tardy For The Party. And after spending weeks talking nonsense about Kandi and insulting her on multiple levels, Kim has filed papers of her own accusing Kandi of being a "shameless" publicity hound using the lawsuit to promote her spinoff The Kandi Factory.

Kim also wants a judge to toss out the lawsuit claiming it has no merit according to TMZ. Kim is adamant that not only has she already fairly compensated Kandi for her services, but she paid in excess by $6,000! Kim also insists that Kandi doesn't even believe her own suit as she is simply attempting to ~~pull a Sheree and~~ use the courts to get attention.

Kandi Burruss Speaks Out About Suing Kim Zolciak Over ‘Tardy For The Party’!

by Mary on March 20th, 2013

Kandi Burruss is finally speaking out about the lawsuit she filed against Kim Zolciak over 'Tardy For The Party.'

Kim has been doing nothing but talking – and trashing Kandi – to the media, on twitter, and with ~~really badly written and poorly edited~~ PR statements. Now Kandi, represented by fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, is explaining what led to the lawsuit. And as predicted Kandi is saving most of her comments for their day in court!

"It’s time for the whole ordeal to be over. I asked TuneCore to take the song down in December 2012. They did. Kim sent an affidavit to put it back up, which they did," Kandi reveals in her statement. "TuneCore then informed me that in order for the song to be taken down permanently I would need to file suit to have it removed."

Kandi and co-plaintiff Rodney Richard (aka Don Vito), who is the co-writer and co-producer, are suing TuneCore along with Kim!

Kim Zolciak Releases PR Statement Defending Herself Against Kandi Burruss’ ‘Tardy For The Party’ Lawsuit!

by Mary on March 19th, 2013

Oh, Kim Zolciack-Biermann… the wig doth protest too much!

A week after Kandi Burruss filed a lawsuit against Kim in federal court over royalties, non-payment, and rights to use the song 'Tardy For The Party,' Kim continues to desperately exonerate herself by slamming Kandi in the media and on twitter. Among other things, Kim has called Kandi a famewhore seeking publicity and a liar. Kandi has not commented.

Going one step further, the Don't Be Tardy star put out an official press release giving her perspective on the lawsuit. It is of no surprise that Kim takes no responsibility and accuses Kandi of lies and negligence. Furthermore this is the most professional (ha!) press release ever. Is Brielle not only Kim's songwriter but her PR rep too?

"The lawsuit led by Kandi Burruss and Rodney Richard aka Don Vito against Kim Zolciak-Biermann over the song 'Tardy For The Party' is without merit and suspicious in its timing," Kim's official statement begins.

Phaedra Parks Talks Her Image On Real Housewives of Atlanta & New Book! Plus, Kenya Moore’s Workout DVD Top 20 On Amazon!

by Mary on March 17th, 2013

Oh the drama of Real Housewives of Atlanta! In a new interview Phaedra Parks talks her image on the show, the future of her empire and the songs she loves by RHOA ladies.

Apparently Phaedra is even busier than we imagined! Currently pregnant with her second son, Phaedra is working on a book, her mortuary science degree, a possible spinoff, and is still active in her legal practice. Oh – and she's planning to return to for another season of RHOA! Dang lady, sit. down. Some excerpts are below!

On being portrayed accurately on RHOA, of which she has a remarkably relaxed attitude:

"What you have to realize is that it is television. Television is a medium for entertainment, it’s not a documentary, it’s for entertainment and I think you are definitely entertained," Phaedra shares with Complex.

"It’s an ensemble cast so you’ve got six or seven of us and you’re seeing a limited amount of our time. The show breaks everything down into 10 or 15 minute segments so of course it can’t catch every facet of a person's personality but it is what it is."

Kim Zolciak Responds To Kandi Burruss’ ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ Lawsuit! Plus, Is Phaedra Parks Representing Kandi?

by Mary on March 14th, 2013

Things are getting heated and dangerous in the land of Real Housewives of Atlanta. I cannot wait! Lord knows I love a legal drama!

Kandi Burruss, along with co-writer and co-producer Rodney Richard are suing Kim Zolciak for non-payment and improper use of copywritten material over the song "Don't Be Tardy." The suit was filed in federal court.

Well Wigs is not taking any accountability in the matter! Oh Kim… ~~You know if the tables were reversed Kim would hunt Kandi down and waterboard her for that money!~~

"This is nothing short of a publicity stunt, I find this lawsuit funny yet sad," Kim told Too Fab. "Coming after me now and this song is 4 years old? I have in fact overpaid Kandi and have documents to prove it and my legal team will handle this accordingly."

Kandi Burruss Sues Kim Zolciak Over Don’t Be Tardy For The Party! Kim Responds!

by Mary on March 13th, 2013

I guess this is one bridge Kim Zolciak-Biermann has officially burned!

Years after the release of Don't Be Tardy For The Party (which also spawned the name of Kim's two spinoffs), the original writer of the song Kandi Burruss is suing Kim for nonpayment!

Kandi was shown writing the song on Real Housewives of Atlanta. She also produced the song for Kim. Several times she tried to recoup monies owed to her for both royalties and production/writing fees. Kim made a ton of excuses and then used the money to buy wigs, cigs, and other Kim necessities, like self-tanner and booze.
