Kim Zolciak-Biermann Says NeNe Leakes Tried to ‘Kick’ Her at #RHOA Reunion!
Kim Zolciak-Biermann has emerged from hiding after Andy Cohen admitted he felt the Don’t Be Tardy star was ganged up on by her castmates during last month’s explosive Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion.
As reported, Andy defended Zolciak during a recent appearance on The Jenny McCarthy Show.
“Atlanta this season, I had a really rough time with the last chunk of that when Kim was on because it got very… I hate a five against one situation. t is a gang up and the problem is that Kim was not … It’s less problematic when the person is good at taking up for themselves and Kim was not having an easy time with her words … No one was listening to me and I really did not have control of the room and I wish that I had walked off.”
On Monday, a fan tweeted about the interview to Zolciak, commenting that Cohen saying the reality TV star was “ganged up on blows [her] mind.”
“Sweetie you didn’t see an 1/4 of what happened this season or an 1/8 of reunion! I had positive moments Irregardless Im comfortable w/ who I am and what I stand for it’s television!” Kim tweeted. “The reunion was disgusting! Nene trying to kick me, girls making fun of my children, mocking my … Husband, I do not pick on people’s children, husbands! You are clueless human being! Sending love and light.”

“Living MY dream!” added the “Google Me” singer, who is currently filming season 7 of her family’s spinoff after briefly halting production due to the drama.
During the explosive RHOA season 10 reunion, Zolciak called host and executive producer Andy Cohen into the bathroom to unleash over how she was treated as a “white woman” by her “African-American” castmates: NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Cynthia Bailey.
“How much can a person take? There wasn’t even one positive question for me,” Zolciak told Cohen, 49, who responded, “There was nothing positive, unfortunately, in your story from the season. It was all combative.”
After the disturbing footage aired, the 39-year-old found herself in a media firestorm over her blatant racist comments.
“That bitch knows I’m not racist. NeNe knows I’m not racist,” Kim told Cohen. “You know why you have not found another white woman to [join the cast]? Because nobody is dumb enough to do that! Put yourself in my shoes — five African-American women — just hammered! I couldn’t even speak, my mind’s a fu**ing whirlwind!”
Zolciak didn’t stop there. She ranted her view on the role social media plays in the overall racial climate — noting that before the social media age, “racism wasn’t fu**ing all that real.”
“This whole racism thing in this day in age is bullsh*t. Everyone of those motherf*ckers on that couch owe this world a f*cking apology for this racism sh*t,” Kim said. “They already tried to claim that sh*t long ago. Nobody bought into it then because the social media wasn’t there and racism wasn’t fu**ing all that real. You know it.”
She was labeled a racist during the season, after she commented that Nene Leakes was “sick and disgusting” for living in a “roach nest.” Several of the women took offense to the characterization during the reunion, likening the slam to a cultural stereotype of impoverished black women, living in housing projects.
The 40-year-old issued an apology via Instagram just days after her racist rant 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,” the statement read. “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. My love for ALL people runs deep — I am open to all and always have been.”
