Shortly after season 1, DeShawn Snow revealed she had been let go from the series and alleged that producers considered her to be "too human for a circus show"[5] and was replaced by Kandi Burruss.[6] Burruss had recently become engaged to her boyfriend A.J. and expressed interest in reviving her music career.[7][8] During the second season, an attempted reconciliation between Leakes, Whitfield, and Zolciak failed to come to fruition,[9] while a feud developed between Leakes and Burruss after the latter became friends with Zolciak and helped her record her single "Tardy for the Party".[10] Meanwhile, Zolciak attempted to launch her own wig line and became engaged to Big Papa,[7][11] while Wu-Hartwell and Whitfield launched their own clothing collections.[12][13]
