The lawsuit alleges that during the first season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak-Biermann responded to the idea of attending a cast barbecue with “words to the effect of: ‘I don’t want to sit around with NeNe and eat chicken.’” The suit says the statement “perpetuated an offensive stereotype about African-Americans.”

Another alleged instance took place during the fifth season in 2012 when Zolciak-Biermann supposedly made “racially offensive and stereotypical” comments about housewife Kandi Burruss’ new home, calling the neighborhood a “ghetto” and perpetuating a racial stereotype in an offensive comment about whether Burruss needed a swimming pool.

The suit also alleges that Zolciak-Biermann used the N-word to refer to Leakes and other housewives after a dispute with them. It also states that the mother of six falsely implied that Leakes abused drugs and once referred to her former friend’s home as a “roach nest.”
