In part one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, the ladies opened up about everything from prenups and liposuction (Cynthia Bailey and Kandi Burruss have both had it) to past relationship drama and race relations.

Bailey spoke to TVGuide.com about stepping in it with her other new cast member Phaedra Parks, getting on Kim Zolciak's bad side, and hosting one very memorable Mother's Day brunch.

Kim Zolciak's wardrobe malfunction had just gone viral. On Friday, Bravo posted a clip of The Real Housewives of Atlanta star's ample bust busting out of her dress moments before she was scheduled to perform her hit "Tardy for the Party" live, and Zolciak was already aware of its immediate popularity.
"I can't believe this story is so big," she said, a couple of hours after both the Huffington Post and US Weekly wrote about the video. "The reality is I have big boobs...
