Kim Zolciak think Kenya Moore exit The Real Housewives of Atlanta it’s for the best.

Zolciak recently spoke with ET’s Brice Sander about his upcoming show, Surreal Life: The Villa of Secretsand shared his thoughts on Moore’s departure from RHOA and asked if she would consider returning to the Bravo show.

“Someone actually told me about the Housewives “I always thought that people could, you know, get angry and say things and be mean, but like when your character is so flawed, I feel like Kenya’s character is so flawed that I think it was a great decision to take her off the show,” Zolciak noted.

Last month, ET confirmed that the 53-year-old reality star would not be returning for season 16 after his suspension by Bravo early June. Moore was sidelined at the time for an alleged drama involving RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady.

In response, a source told ET that she has decided to part ways with the franchise, despite previously expressing interest in returning, declaring that she would not go “anywhere” and receives support from his cast mates and longtime friends.

“Kenya is not going back to RHOA “This season, she decided it was best for her to leave after the way she felt the incident was handled and the way she was treated,” a source told ET.

Zolciak then discussed the possibility of his own return to RHOAstating that it would take a big offer for her to consider joining the cast. “I think what she did was the worst of the worst, and they don’t have enough money to bring me back on that show because my sanity and my peace is worth so much more,” she said firmly.

However, Zolciak hinted that there was little chance of her returning, especially with the recent casting changes. “Unless the whole cast, well, now that Kenya is gone, I shouldn’t say it like this, but you know, I heard Phaedra[Parks]might be coming back, and that would be a great choice. I might have to think about it with Phaedra because she’s so funny and all I do is laugh when I’m around her,” she added. Despite this, Zolciak concluded that her return was highly unlikely, saying, “It would just be something that I would have to think seriously about, and I’m 99 percent sure that’s a big no.”

In an MTV trailer Surreal Life: The Villa of Secrets, Zolciak And Chet Hanks seem to be getting closer.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Hanks jokes that his family “disowned” him for joining the show, before more seriously admitting: “I actually grew up feeling completely useless.”

Meanwhile, Zolciak is candid about the state of her marriage to Kroy Biermann, telling her co-stars, “Kroy doesn’t want me here. When I come home, I’m getting a divorce.”

Indeed, Zolciak and Kroy Biermannwho got married in 2011, are in the middle of a controversial split as they deal with financial problems.
