Kim Zolciak celebrates Kenya Moore’s ‘RHOA’ firing

Kim Zolciak is saying “bravo” to Bravo for firing Kenya Moore from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Zolciak — who once starred on the hit series with Moore — tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she supports the network’s decision to give the former Miss USA the pink slip following the latter’s sex poster scandal.

“I think it’s the best thing that could ever happen to that show,” she asserts during a virtual press junket for MTV’s “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets,” her latest unscripted venture.

Zolciak, who feuded with Moore during their “RHOA” overlap in Season 5, says her onscreen adversary is “heavily flawed” and therefore unsuitable for such a show.

“You meet people and you have relationships with people and you get angry or you get frustrated, but when you’re just I think the core of who you are or your character is heavily flawed, I think that’s a great decision to be honest,” she explains.

As Page Six exclusively reported, Moore, 53, shocked party attendees at her salon grand opening in June with posters of “Atlanta” rookie Brittany Eady allegedly performing oral sex.

Cameras were rolling at the cast event, where Moore unveiled the X-rated photos. Eady, 36, was not present for the display.

An insider insisted to us at the time that the pics in question were “readily accessible” online and went on to claim that Eady had made threats to Moore using the word “gun” before the event.

However, a production source told us, “At no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production.”

Bravo/briteady/InstagramPage Six exclusively revealed Moore was subsequently suspended from filming. We later confirmed she would not be coming back for the remainder of Season 16, which remains in production.

With Moore out, Page Six recently reported that “RHOA” alum Phaedra Parks is negotiating her return amid a retooling that features veteran stars and fresh faces.

Zolciak, who last appeared on the series as a guest in Season 15, believes that Parks, 50, would be a “good addition” to the current cast.

“I love Phaedra. That would be great. … She’s so funny,” she raves to us. “I love her.”

However, the “Tardy for the Party” singer — whose “RHOA” tenure as a full-time cast member ended in 2013 after five consecutive seasons — emphasizes that she will “never” reclaim her peach.

“I literally will never go back to ‘Housewives of Atlanta.’ Like, literally. When I think about it, I had so much fun … but also, in Connecticut, where I grew up, if you don’t like somebody, it’s like, ‘We don’t like you. I don’t like you. I’m not going to talk to you,’” she says.

“Down here, what I learned and learned the hard way was we go to lunch and have this great conversation and then you go do … an interview and you talk all this crap about me,” Zolciak, 46, elaborates.

The mother of six — who is in the midst of navigating a tumultuous divorce from her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann — remembers being “so upset” by the contentious nature of “Housewives” during the early days of her on-camera career.

“I was so upset the first couple seasons. Like, ‘What? We just had lunch.’ And then I’m in my interview like, ‘Oh my God, she’s so great, blah blah blah,’” she shares. “Really, I mean, when I say I have PTSD from things, I really do.”

“Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” — starring Zolciak, Chet Hanks, Ally Brooke, Macy Gray, Johnny Weir, O.T. Genasis, Tyler Posey and Josie Canseco — premieres Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
