Kim Zolciak-Biermann Apologizes For Racist Remarks & Blames #RHOA Editing!

Things got heated during The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 10 reunion, when Kim Zolciak-Biermann, claimed that “racism isn’t real,” and has only become magnified due to social media.

Now that her Bravo paycheck is on the line, Kim has issued an apology via Instagram just days after her racist rant at Sunday’s RHOA reunion went viral. The mom of six is claiming that she’s actually not racist.

“During the last RHOA Reunion episode, I made a comment that confused and offended people. I sincerely apologize. Edited out of context, I understand why my remark angered people. Racism is a sad reality in the United States. It has been prevalent throughout our country’s history. Let me be very clear, I do NOT support, tolerate or put up with any form of racism, hate or other discrimination.”

She goes on to reiterate her claim that social media makes racism “more real.”

“I believe that social media has made a centuries-old issue more real. Before social media, the public simply observed the news. Now, the public actively participates and has an opportunity to take action – in real time.”

Note to Kim Zolciak: Racism in “real time” has existed for centuries.

She wraps her apology by playing victim and suggesting the world would be a kinder place, if people were nicer to her. 

“When false accusations are made, they are amplified by online platforms regardless of their merit. This wasn’t the case 10 years ago when I started on RHOA. I truly pray that the people wishing horrible things on others, and on me, channel that energy into something positive. Our world would be a much better place if you do.”
