Kim Zolciak has spoken out about Kenya Moore’s recent controversy and exit from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (RHOA), leaving fans divided.
In June, Kenya Moore was suspended by the Bravo network due to her involvement in a dispute with RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady. As Moore faces this backlash, Zolciak has made her stance clear.
Zolciak, 53, shared her thoughts on Moore’s conduct while preparing to launch her new show, “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets.” During an interview with ET, Zolciak stated, “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.”
Moore has decided to leave the franchise permanently. According to ET, this decision came after she had initially expressed a desire to return to the show following her suspension. “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 revealed, despite the overwhelming support from her co-stars for her to make a comeback.
Zolciak also confirmed she has no intentions of returning to the show. “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.
However, Zolciak hinted that she might reconsider if Phaedra Parks, rumored to return, officially rejoined RHOA. “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 said, but cautioned fans not to get their hopes up.
Following her suspension, Moore took to social media to clear her name and thank her supporters. Posting a picture of her spending time at the beach with her daughter, Moore wrote, “My heart is full and my conscience is squeaky clean.” She added that she was relieved to step back from the toxic environment and promised to reveal the truth in time.
The post was well-received by her fans and colleagues, including Porsha Williams and Teresa Giudice, who expressed their solidarity. Brandi Glanville, star of “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” also supported Moore on social media, criticizing Bravo for portraying Moore as the villain.
Despite her absence from RHOA, Zolciak remains busy. She will appear alongside former co-star Cynthia Bailey and Spencer Pratt from “The Hills” in the Hulu show “Go to Get Out,” where they will compete for a $1 million grand prize. This reunion was initially supposed to feature another RHOA alum, Nene Leakes, who reportedly declined the offer, told The Blast.
In addition to her TV projects, Zolciak is dealing with financial issues and recently announced the sale of her Kashmere Kollections skincare brand to Tim Sharif’s 310 Nutrition LLC. She assured fans that the new company would maintain high product standards and expand the brand’s offerings.
“Heartfelt thank you for the incredible loyalty you’ve shown @kashmerecollections! I can’t wait to watch the brand’s growth. Here’s to your future filled with endless possibilities!” Zolciak expressed.
While Zolciak may not be a fan of Kenya Moore, she remains focused on overcoming her financial challenges and moving forward.
