Kim Zolciak-Biermann opens up about her The Real Housewives of Atlanta return. The Don't Be Tardy star recently spilled the tea about the cameo she made during the Bravo hit reality show's ninth season finale episode. “I didn’t ‘come back,’” Kim tells Entertainment Tonight, referencing her much hyped guest spot on Sunday’s season finale. It marks her first appearance on the series since she walked off in the middle of season five.
Kim says she simply accepted an invite to Sheree Whitfield’s housewarming party, a big deal for the star and for RHOA fans.
“I was really excited,” Kim admits. “I hadn’t seen any of the Housewives in five years, aside from Sheree. So, I was super excited to see some of them and see Sheree’s house. [But] I wouldn’t say I’m back. I was just at the finale party.”
While she might not be back as a Housewife, Kim still knows how to act like one. In the finale, she’s seen facing off with Kenya Moore.
“I don’t even know that lady,” Kim claims. “I met her one time before, I think it was the season I walked off, or something like that, but I had not really been around her.”
Kim explains why she popped off at Kenya Moore.
As Kim tells it, all guests were supposed to stay on the first floor of Chateau Sheree during the party, but Kenya went exploring. The reality star found her way into Sheree’s unfinished basement, which seemingly hit a nerve. Kenya, of course, threw her own housewarming party at the top of season nine, and became the object of ridicule when the other women scoffed at her home being largely unfinished at the party. Kim says because of this, Kenya felt the need to let others know about the still under-construction parts of Sheree’s home.
“So, I was like, ‘Kenya, that’s really rude,’” Kim recalls. “I was, more or less, sticking up for Sheree and then [Kenya] started ... poppin’ off at the mouth. ‘Maybe you should worry about your husband! Maybe you should worry about your kids.’ She’s like a dark cloud walking around.”
“First of all, talking about my husband and kids is something you don’t do, so that really pissed me off,” she adds. “And then I started poppin’ off at the mouth, ‘cause she really wants my life. She wants a husband, she wants a family. But, unfortunately, she’s just a dark cloud walking around in this world, I feel like.”
When asked if filming for the finale got Kim itching to come back full-time, she just laughed.
“I don’t know if there will ever be an itch to come back,” she says. “It was nice to get out of the house and kinda see everybody again, and connect with them, but I see nothing’s really changed with some of them. It’s like, we’re all grown-a** women. What is with this arguing? It’s bizarre to me … the negativity that surrounds them is just gross. So, I don’t miss the negativity that surrounds some of the ladies, for sure.”
Still, hope is not completely lost. Kim would come back for “a big, fat paycheck, honey.”
“Listen, I’ve got six kids I gotta take care of,” she says. “I’m very motivated by money. But, definitely at this time, I’m filming season six [of my spin-off, Don’t Be Tardy]. It’s definitely a different vibe filming [Housewives] versus filming with your family. Totally different vibe.”
“I also always choose my mental well-being first,” Kim adds. “It would be many factors.”
Rumors have circulated for months that Kim and NeNe Leakes could return full-time for Atlanta’s landmark 10th season, but we might see them back together on a different show. Two years ago, Bravo announced plans for a Kim-NeNe buddy show where they take a road trip together, but the series never materialized.
“I was super excited about that, to be honest,” Kim shares. “It was just, more or less, a scheduling issue. I had all my stuff going on, and she had all her stuff going on. You know, she’s really funny and, again, money talks. So, I don’t know. If at some point we can figure out scheduling, I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
