Kim Fields has just entered the world of reality television by joining season 8 of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta." But, as Radar Online reported, Fields is a "housewife without a house," as reports have surfaced that she has lost her home due to unpaid debts.
Legal documents obtained by the celebrity news site show that the 46-year-old actress and ex-husband, Lawrence D. Freeman, failed to pay the mortgage for their three-bedroom home in Powder Springs, Georgia in 2009. The property has since been foreclosed. In April that same year, the home was put in auction, with the highest bidder buying it for a mere $89,941.96.
Meanwhile, another report from Radar Online shows that Fields has a debt of more than $212,000 in federal taxes. According to a federal tax lien issued on Oct. 2, 2014, the reality star skipped payments for three consecutive years in 2011 to 2013 of $33,28.98, $42,318.40 and $136,873.64, respectively.
Fields has not issued a comment regarding her legal battles. She is said to be currently filming scenes for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," where has just made her debut last Nov. 8.

"I think my biggest concern was my family," Fields told E! Online prior to her reality TV debut. "I'm very, very, very protective of my family...of my marriage, of my parenting, of my family."
Fields is best known for her role as Tootie Ramsey in the NBC's 1980s sitcom, "The Facts of Life." In the '90s, Fields starred in "Living Series." Since her break from acting, she has been directing episodes for shows such as "House of Payne" and "Meet the Browns." In 2012, Fields made an acting comeback with a made-for-TV movie entitled "A Cross to Bear" and Hallmark's "For Better or Worse" (2014).
Fields is married to Broadway actor Christopher Morgan, with whom she has two children.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs every Sunday, 8 p.m. on Bravo.
