Kim Zolciak Sued

Kim Zolciak Sued, R&B singer and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" regular Kandi Burruss is suing her former reality TV co-star Kim Zolciak over allegations of unpaid profits for a song they recorded together in 2009. The former Xscape star penned "Tardy for the Party" for Zolciak, who reportedly released it as a single without her co-writer's approval. And now Burruss is demanding a cut of the royalties.

Burruss and her songwriting pal Richard filed suit over the incident in an Atlanta, Ga., court on Tuesday, demanding punitive damages, attorneys fees and a jury trial. They are also calling for a temporary restraining order to prevent further sales of the tune. Burruss' current "Real Housewives" pal, Phaedra Parks, is representing the singer/songwriter in the case. Zolciak quit the series at the end of 2012.
