'RHOA' Reunion: Kim Zolciak Biermann Breaks Down Over Rumors She's Racist, NeNe Leakes And Fans Drag Her On Twitter
Kim Zolciak Biermann has a meltdown about rumors she’s a racist on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. NeNe Leakes and fans show no mercy.
It looks like Leakes’s claims that Zolciak is a racist against the African American community was too much for her to handle during the conclusion of the show’s reunion special Sunday night. Zolciak has stated that Leakes's accusations caused her to receive death threats in the past.
Still, just when it seemed as if the season was wrapping up for good, a producer ran out of the women’s bathroom and said Zolciak wanted to speak with Andy Cohen, the show’s executive producer as well as the reunion host.
Cohen went into the bathroom and found Zolciak having a mental breakdown over the backlash she received from the cast during her appearance at the reunion.
She told Cohen that the claims that she’s racist are foolish and the major reason behind such speculation was that she's the only Caucasian woman who ever agreed to be on the show.
She went on to say that such rumors had swirled but never really went anywhere when she first joined the show roughly 10 years ago. Zolciak added that because social media didn’t exist back then like it does today, the majority of the audience and viewers didn’t believe that she was racist. She said that “racism wasn't real” when the show first aired.
She and her husband, Kroy Biermann, also questioned Cohen for not shutting down the ladies when they went too far against Zolciak. Zolciak also said she was disappointed in her friend Sheree Whitfield for not standing up for her.
It didn’t take long for Leakes to hop on Twitter and share her thoughts on Zolciak’s breakdown.

When the lies just keep coming & coming & coming then production has a flash back for everything — NeNe Leakes (@NeNeLeakes) April 23, 2018
She also tweeted that she agreed with Cohen’s comment that Zolciak didn’t bring anything positive to offer all season. Leakes wasn’t the only one who had something to say about Zolciak’s teary moment concerning speculation that she’s racist.
A couple of fans blasted her for not being able to see the reality of racism.
Did @Kimzolciak just say racism isn’t real? Yea, she’s done. #RHOA — TRAPCRY (@trapcry) April 23, 2018
So Kim Zolciak’s defense of not being racist is to say racism isn’t real and magnified by social media? Yeah, that’ll confuse everyone. #RHOA — Michael Arceneaux (@youngsinick) April 23, 2018
One called out Zolciak’s famous friends Chrissy Teigen and Kim Kardashian.
Waiting for @Kimzolciak to blame production or that she actually didn’t say “racism wasn’t really a thing ”.Hey @chrissyteigen @khloekardashian @KimKardashian this is how your “friend thinks”. Please @Andy get her off tv. No one wants this stupid women on tv #rhoa #RHOAReunion — Laura (@Lauriscristina9) April 23, 2018
Another came for Whitfield and said she didn’t check her friend for having an idea that racism doesn’t exist.
I can’t believe you allowed @Kimzolciak to say racism isn’t real and that she was GANGED up on by 5 African American women!! You were a disgrace to every black woman to sit there and be silent when she was clearly disrespecting ALL black people. — Tanisha Fuller (@boochlolo) April 23, 2018
Another pointed out that Zolciak would no longer be on the show and added that they wouldn’t have it any other way.
This is Kim Zolciak’s last scene and season. As it should be. #RHOA — Afro-LightskinO. (@itsKARY_) April 23, 2018
One pointed out that Zolciak cried to Cohen that she was verbally executed by five Black women instead of using their names.
Kim Zolciak you were really trying to defend yourself as not being a racist. However, you want to tell Andy that 5 "African American Women" attacked you. You did not have to use their race. They "All" have names last time I checked. Your statement clearly sounded racist. #RHOA — Kay Love (@KayLove30920842) April 23, 2018

Another said Zolciak is a perfect example of today’s type of racism.
In case anyone in America was curious as to what modern day racism looks like, watch the last 5 min of the #RHOA reunion when @Kimzolciak displays it to a T. — Krystal Arnez Bailey (@krystal__bailey) April 23, 2018
