We knew it was only a matter of time before some sort of drama jumped off between the old school legend, Kim Fields a.k.a. “Tootie” or a.k.a. “Regine” (depending on which era you’re from) and her fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta cast mates. It’s now being reported that some of the ladies are not feeling Kim’s attitude, nor how she leaves the shoots early to go do math homework with her kids. Here are the details via TMZ:

Kim Fields isn’t making her new ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ gig a priority, according to co-workers who find her impossible to work with … due to an inflated ego.

Sources on set tell us some of Kim’s co-stars are livid she’s been showing up late and leaving early for shoots. In one case, we’re told she left Kandi Burruss‘ baby shower early — during taping — so she could help her kids do math homework.

Also, when they were filming in Jamaica, Kim showed up with her kids even though producers told the cast absolutely NO KIDS.

We’re told Kim acts like she’s better than everyone else, and still in her ’80s heyday of ‘Facts of Life.’ Sources close to Kim say that’s way off base, and she’s a “consummate pro” who works with producers to ensure she meets her responsibilities to work and family. They also point out she shows up for every shoot on time and in good spirits.

But with other cast members feeling like Kim disrespects ‘RHOA’ rules and schedules.

Again we’ll ask, why is Kim Fields on this show again? Don’t get us wrong, we give the Real Housewives cast MAJOR props for making a name for themselves and being successful businesswomen. They represent women who come from several different walks of life and maybe we’ve just answered our own question- maybe Kim’s on the show to add an extra bit of diversity, but so far it just seems like she is not necessarily the reality TV show type…and that’s not really a bad thing at all, but rather a compliment to Kim Fields.
