“We want to ‘parent trap’ them, is what we keep on saying, and make them rekindle [their] friendship,” she says. “We’re not going to tell them and we’re just going to show up and everyone’s going to come in. Everybody’s going to work it out.”

Kim Zolciak and Kandi Burruss have a deep and complicated history.
Burruss and Zolciak were on RHOA together from the second to the fifth season, at which time Zolciak left RHOA in 2013. Burruss remained on the show until February 2024, when she left after season 15.
The two mothers fell out with each other multiple times — initially over their song “Tardy for the Party,” which Zolciak sang and Burruss wrote, per Bravo TV. The conflict led to Burruss filing a suit against Zolciak, claiming she wasn’t given proper credit (creatively and financially) for her work on the song. Zolciak eventually got the lawsuit dismissed, per The Wrap.
They later feuded in 2018 when Zolciak accused Burruss and her husband of being swingers, and that Burruss once propositioned her for oral sex. Buruss vehemently denied these accusations.
