" Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak has dismissed claims that she was once a stripper. Her co-star NeNe Leakes recently penned tell-all memoir Never Make The Same Mistake Twice, in which she suggested that Zolciak worked in Atlantic City as a stripper named Barbie. A source further told Fox News that the Bravo reality personality worked at The Cheetah Club in 2003 &amp;quot;making a lot of money&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;She didn&amp;#039;t do it for long, but was very popular among the crowd,&amp;quot; the insider added. According to her former publicist Jonathan Jaxson, Zolciak worked at the establishment &amp;quot;as a cocktail waitress&amp;quot;.  However, the star has said that there is no merit to the allegations. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never stripped,&amp;quot; she stated. &amp;quot;[My former rep] is a loose cannon spreading lies. I am not affiliated with him whatsoever.&amp;quot; Leakes previously allegedly admitted that she was once a stripper and used the stage name Silk. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
