Kim Zolciak of ‘Real Housewife’ has secret stripper past?

WASHINGTON - Kim Zolciak, well known for starring in ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, was reportedly a stripper who went by the name “Barbi” in the early 2000s.

According to sources close to the Bravo babe, she spent around three months “making a lot of money” as a stripper at Atlanta’s premiere gentleman’s establishment The Cheetah Club in 2003.

“She didn’t do it for long, but was very popular among the crowd,” Fox News quoted a source as saying.

The Cheetah Club declined to comment, but according to a rep for Zolciak, she did indeed work at Cheetah, but “as a cocktail waitress”.

Zolciak herself has now come forward to say she never worked the stage.

“I’ve never stripped,” she said.

“My former rep is a loose cannon spreading lies. I am not affiliated with him whatsoever,” she added. (ANI)
