Kim Zolciak-Biermann caught hell during part three of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion Sunday night, with NeNe Leakes, Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss and even Cynthia Bailey all calling out the mother of six for the various shade she threw behind their backs all season.
Following their shouting match, Zolciak broke down in the restroom with host Andy Cohen, where she said racism “wasn’t all that real” before social media.
She was immediately hit with backlash for the comment, but is now apologizing for the controversial remark while explaining that the quotes were taken out of context.
“During the last RHOA reunion episode, I made a comment that confused and offended people. I sincerely apologize,” Zolciak said in a statement. “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 went on to say she feels social media has made a “centuries-old issue more real.”
“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.”
