3/26: Kim Zolciak settles with publicist over payment spat
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak has settled a financial spat with publicist Jonathan Jaxson. The two had exchanged lawsuits, Jaxson accusing her of not paying her bills and she blaming him for "hijacking" her Web site.
Here's what he wrote on www.kimzolciakonline.com:
My former client Kim Zolciak and I have settled our differences which includes voluntarily dismissing all pending legal claims against one another. Our past grievances were due to a misunderstanding that regrettably got blown out of proportion. Going forward, I wish Ms. Zolciak the very best with respect to her acting and overall entertainment endeavors.
And the photo accompanying it:
“We buried the hatchet,” Jaxson said. “I wish her the best.” I’ve left messages with both to get a reaction and will update this blog if I get any.
“You have to take precautions to protect yourself,” he said, justifying his initial lawsuit. “I’m sorry it got to where it did, but I’m no stranger to scandal.”
No response yet from Zolciak, who hasn’t tended to respond to me lately.
Jaxson, who started the Web site, plans to shut the site down for good on March 30. She still has www.kimzolciak.com.
