Kim Zolciak opens up to ET about Kenya Moore leaving 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' and if she'd return to the reality show.
Kim Zolciak thinks Kenya Moore leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta is for the best.
Zolciak recently spoke with ET’s Brice Sander about her upcoming show, Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, and shared her thoughts on Moore's departure from RHOA and addressed whether she would consider returning to the Bravo show.
"Somebody actually updated me from the Housewives franchise on the situation with Kenya, and you know I've always thought people can, you know, get angry, say stuff, and be mean, but like when your character's so flawed, I feel like Kenya's character is so flawed that I think it's a great decision to have her off the show," Zolciak remarked.
Last month, ET confirmed that the 53-year-old reality TV star will not be returning for season 16 following her suspension by Bravo in early June. Moore was sidelined at the time for alleged drama involving RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady.
In response, a source told ET that she decided to part ways with the franchise, despite previously expressing interest in returning, declaring that she would not be "going anywhere" and receiving support from her longtime castmates and friends.
"Kenya is not returning to RHOA this season. She decided it was best for herself to leave after how she felt the incident was handled and how she was treated," a source shared with ET.
Zolciak went on to discuss the possibility of her own return to RHOA, making it clear that it would take a significant offer for her to consider rejoining the cast. "I think what she did was the lowest of the low of the low, and they don't have enough money to ever bring me back on that show because my sanity and my peace are worth way more," she stated firmly.
However, Zolciak hinted that there might be a slim chance of her return, especially with recent cast changes. "Unless the whole cast, well, now that Kenya's gone, I shouldn't say it like that, but you know, I heard Phaedra [Parks] might be making her way back, and that would be an awesome choice. I might have to consider it with Phaedra because she's so funny and all I do is laugh when I'm around her," she added. Despite this, Zolciak concluded that her return is highly unlikely, saying, "It would just be something I'd have to give some serious thought to, and I'm like 99 percent sure that's a big no."
In a trailer for MTV's Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, Zolciak and Chet Hanks appear to get close.
"Kim is a MILF," Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's 33-year-old son tells the cameras, as footage plays of a shirtless Hanks climbing into bed with the 46-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta alum.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Hanks jokingly says his family "disowned" him for joining the show, before more seriously admitting, "I actually grew up feeling completely worthless."
Meanwhile, Zolciak gets candid about the state of her marriage to Kroy Biermann, telling her co-stars, "Kroy does not want me here. When I go home, I'm gonna get divorced."
Indeed, Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, who tied the knot in 2011, are in the midst of a contentious split as they deal with financial problems.
Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets will premiere July 23 on MTV.
