Why Kim Zolciak Is Finally Considering Returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta

Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak weighed in on the show’s season 16 cast shakeup, Kenya Moore’s exit and her potential return.

Kim Zolciak once again has her eye on the prize peach.

Nearly 12 years after the reality star abruptly  left The Real Housewives of Atlanta in the middle of season five, Kim revealed the two reasons she’s finally considering a potential return to the Bravo reality series.

“I know Porsha [Williams] is back, who I love to pieces and absolutely adore her,” the Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets star exclusively told E! News. “She’s hysterical. Happy for her and love that she’s back.”

Plus, reports that another beloved RHOA alum might be back for season 16 have further piques Kim’s interest in rejoining the friend group.

“I heard rumors Phaedra [Parks] might return,” she added, “which I would be totally game for too because she’s amazing.”

In fact, the recently refreshed cast has made Kim change her mind.

“I’ve been saying I would never return but, as I’m talking right now, I might think about it because these are two very funny and light-hearted fun people,” the 46-year-old admitted. “Porsha and Phaedra might do it for me. We’ll see.”

However, Kim isn’t totally ready for all the drama that comes with being on Housewives.

“I’d have to seriously consider it,” the “Tardy for the Party” singer noted. “One thing that I just don’t do well with and never have is the negativity and the drama. I’m a pretty positive person. I love to laugh, I love to help people and Housewives at times is extremely trying and very disappointing. I do have like PTSD from a lot of my experiences on the show too that I’m working through.”

But one change that doesn’t surprise Kim? Kenya Moore recently exiting the series after a season 16 controversy.

“I was updated by another housewife on what Kenya did,” she shared. “I’ve always said that her character is heavily flawed. She’s where she needs to be at this point.”
