LOS ANGELES — NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak may have to take their feud off camera.
The bickering reality stars are reportedly demanding such a huge payday that Bravo is planning to replace them on the third season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, a source tells the New York Daily News.
"Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show," said the insider. "They're trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they're gearing up to make a major move in the third season."
"Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense," added the source, "but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won't let one person stop it."
While the network refused to comment on the report, one woman who apparently isn't in the running to join fellow stars Kandi Burruss, Sheree Whitfield and Lisa Wu is Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster Raymond.
"Tameka isn't very popular in Atlanta," said the insider. "The producers asked each one of the women how they would feel if she were cast, and they all said that they'd walk. That's the one thing they've been united about."
