Kim Zolciak-Biermann is making her intentions about returning to reality TV in the wake of her divorce crystal clear.
On Thursday, June 22, the former Bravo star, aged 45, shared a sneak peek of her recent meeting with TV producer Troy VanderHeyden on social media. Taking to Instagram, Zolciak-Biermann expressed her love for VanderHeyden, calling him one of her favorite people. She also hinted at exciting developments, stating that they were "making moves."
In a surprising twist earlier this month, Zolciak-Biermann reunited with several Real Housewives of Atlanta stars, namely Lisa Wu, Shereé Whitfield, and DeShawn Snow. This unexpected gathering delighted her followers. Zolciak-Biermann, who was a full-time cast member on the reality series from 2008 to 2012, expressed her anticipation for future reunions with BravoTV, using the hashtag #RHOA in her Instagram post.
After leaving RHOA, the TV personality embarked on her own spinoff show called Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding, which documented her wedding to Kroy Biermann. The show was later renewed and rebranded as Don’t Be Tardy for a second season, and it continued to air until 2020.
The show, which ran for eight seasons, revolved around the lives of Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann in their home, where they raised their children: Brielle, 26, Ariana, 21, Kroy "KJ" Jr., 11, Kash, 10, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9. It's worth noting that the former NFL player adopted his wife's eldest children from previous relationships.
Zolciak-Biermann once expressed her determination to keep reality TV from affecting her personal life, stating that divorce was not an option in her household. In an interview with Fox News in October 2017, she emphasized that her marriage always took precedence and that she would never allow a show to impact it. However, in a surprising turn of events, less than six years later, Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann filed for divorce in May. Court documents revealed that they listed April 30 as their official separation date after over a decade of being together.

Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann's contentious separation has remained a spectacle for the public. In recent court documents, the ex-athlete has asked for his estranged wife to undergo a psychological assessment. On the other hand, the singer of "Tardy for the Party" has filed her own motion, urging him to take a drug test due to concerns about their children's wellbeing while in his care.
Zolciak-Biermann's lawyer expressed her disappointment in the way Kroy is handling their divorce publicly, stating that it could have negative consequences for their children in the future. The lawyer emphasized that the continuous spreading of false information with the intention to portray Kim as an inadequate mother is not only damaging but also misleading, as Kim has been dedicated to raising her children.
Kim has chosen to stay silent during the divorce proceedings to protect her children. However, due to the latest filing, she is compelled to share her side of the story. The years of emotional and mental abuse inflicted upon her by her spouse have deeply affected her and, sadly, their children as well. Kim has consistently displayed unwavering dedication as a mother, making her children her top priority. She is always present to provide them with love and support, guiding them through every phase of their lives.
