There's no shortage of controversy on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta this season -- and aspiring country crooner Kimberleigh "Kim" Zolciak is usually at the center of it.
"This year, there's been a lot of controversy," Zolciak, appearing on the Today Show Thursday, said, adding that all of the screaming matches were 100 percent real.
While set amidst the tranquil backdrop of the Peach State, the cast (which includes Zolciak, former NFL wife Sheree Whitfield, charity planner Linnethia "NeNe" Leakes, Keith Sweat's ex/current NFL wife Lisa Wu-Hartwell and Grammy-winning songwriter Kandi Burruss, is hardly tranquil, as fights have broken out between Zolciak and many of her cast mates.
Zolciak said rumors of her being the pot-stirrer are false.
"It's a he-said, she-said," she said. "I'm just not into that. I don't even talk to Lisa or Sheree to be able to do that. That's the way of the world, it is."
The show airs Thursdays on Bravo at 10/9c.
