Kim Zolciak’s Worst Moments On and Off RHOA

The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star is far from perfect. Kim Zolciak has a knack for making the headlines, and it is usually for something extremely sketchy and often feels like a ploy for the limelight. Even though Kim has never been one to care about what anyone thinks, fans still can’t help but recall more than a few times when she exhibited some questionable behavior.

Kim Was Accused of Photoshopping Her Daughter

In 2018, blogger @thegoodthebadandthefake accused Kim of photoshopping photos of her four-year-old daughter and son. At the time, Kim posted a photo of Kaia and Kane on her Instagram story but quickly removed it. Shortly after, she reposted the photo, and it looked like both children had smaller torsos.

Kim denied ever retouching the photos, but fans were left sickened by the idea.

Kim’s Racist Allegations

Bravo viewers will recall Kim’s last season of RHOA was trying at best. The mother of six had been demoted a “friend of” and was on the outs with her former best friend, NeNe Leakes. During the reunion, Kim was called out by Andy Cohen for calling NeNe’s home a “roach’s nest.” Kim knew what was happening and told Andy, “You’re reaching. Reaching, Don’t try it. It has nothing to do with the projects or none of that shit. A roach is a roach.”

Kim was then caught ranting backstage, saying, “This whole racism thing in this day and age is bullshit. Everyone one of those motherf*ckers on that couch owes this world a f*ckin’ apology for this racism shit.”

Tour Bus Fight

Perhaps one of Kim’s worst moments was when she and NeNe found themselves in a brawl on Kandi Burruss’ tour bus. Kim had been touring with the Xscape singer thanks to her single, “Tardy for the Party.” The entire cast met up with them during their pit stop in Miami, but NeNe was tired of Kim’s diva attitude. NeNe was prepared for a girls’ weekend but was put off when Kim tried to get her assistant a room at the inn. NeNe low-blowed Kim by saying, “What Kandi does is work. What you do is not work.”

Kim wasted no time in asking, “What do you do. You’re an intern at 11 Live,” which really set her former BFF off. The two women eventually lunged at one another, with the entire cast wondering how the hell all this could happen in such a small space.

Kim Fakes Daughter’s Pregnancy

Kim hit a new low as she faked Brielle Biermann‘s pregnancy just for a few social media clicks. In a now-deleted November 28 post, Kim took to Instagram to share a photo of a sonogram labeled with her eldest daughter’s name on it. Under the post, she wrote, “I’M SO EXCITED TO BE A GRANDMA!” with a hashtag that read “LINK IN BIO.”

However, after some gullible fans followed the link to Celebuzz, it was apparent the photo was set up to lure in readers. This move has to be one of the grossest things Kim has ever done for attention.

Twitter Is Not Kim’s Friend

I’m sick of these bitches lying on me. @KimZolciak I have NEVER wanted you or your box. And stop swearing on your kids while you’re telling lies. Lying ass bitch. Somebody’s really reaching for a permanent peach here… This is my house. You’re just a visitor!
— Kandi Burruss (@Kandi) January 15, 2018

And who could forget all of the Twitter wars Kim has found herself in over the years? Most of the drama came from extended Real Housewives of Atlanta chaos with her former ally, Kandi. The two got into a heated exchange after Kim insinuated that Kandi hit on her. Kandi took to Twitter to note she never wanted Kim’s “box.”

Kim responded via Page Six, writing, “If anybody is lying, it’s you @Kandi. You and your husband are full-on swingers f*cking all kinds of girls and can NEVER admit it. And bitch if it weren’t for me, there would be no house. Remember, I built this house!”

Needless to say, it was Kim’s finest moment in the Bravosphere.

Why It Was So Easy For Kody Brown’s Exes To Bond Over Him

The patriarch of Sister Wives, Kody Brown, makes it almost too easy for those close to him to develop a loathing that is unlike any other. For over ten years, TLC viewers have become acquainted with Kody’s lack of ethics as he allowed his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, to pick apart his polygamous dream. As the seasons wore on, Kody made himself into the perfect villain, leaving no wife untouched by his selfish attitude. So it makes sense that the scorned women would bond over their mutual disdain for Kody.

The I Hate Kody Fan Club

During the recent season of Sister Wives, Kody declared he and Robyn were a “common enemy” for Christine Brown and Janelle Brown. Both his second and third wives left Kody after decades of marriage, with both women bonding over their disdain for him. Kody isn’t a fan of Christine and Janelle’s new dynamic, noting, “It’s interesting that Christine and Janelle have a newfound relationship because I think it was more antagonistic before.”

Comments like this make it easy for the two moms to unite in their dislike of Kody because he is so obviously trying to push his accountability onto them. Even though the father of 18 tries to act like he wishes that wasn’t the case, it is exactly what he wanted—a life free of stress and married only to Robyn. Kody believes Janelle and Christine have nothing good to say about him, and honestly, they probably don’t.

Kody Ignores His Fatherly Duties

Another reason that it is so easy for all the exes, including Meri Brown, to bond over why they don’t like Kody is his ability to write off any responsibility regarding his older children. It came as quite a shock when Kody ever so surely slowly started to gravitate away from involving himself with his first three wives’ spawn. There have also been numerous instances of Kody refusing to step up and actually letting his children down.

Fans could first see that Christine became angry when Kody refused to attend Ysabel Brown‘s spine surgery. Kody claimed he needed to stay with Robyn’s children to protect them, but a few months later, he was more than happy to oversee a friend’s wedding. He then tried to kick Gabe Brown and Garrison Brown out of Janelle’s home for not agreeing with him. The lack of love would make any mother furious enough to start to hate her husband.

The Sister Wives Can Bond Over Divorce

Best friends have a way of convincing one another to do things they wouldn’t normally do. And the same goes for Janelle, who shared, via People, that she might have stayed married to Kody if it weren’t for Christine’s divorce. The mother of six shared that “It was heartbreaking for me when Christine left because all of a sudden the family was this whole different identity, and Christine had always been a big part of what I perceived was the family identity.”

Janelle has always been a huge supporter of the polygamous family, but it must have been hard to wear blinders to the issues going on within her own marriage. Janelle explained, “My children gravitate towards her. They always say to me, ‘Mom, wherever Christine is, we want to be for the holidays.’ Or whatever. So that was taking away a big part—or a big heart—of the family for us.”

Polygamy Didn’t Help Any of Them

Sadly, I believe that Meri, Janelle, and Christine could all bond together over the fact that their religion failed them. Whether it was because polygamy is flawed or Kody was a mere mortal is up for debate. But just taking a look at Kody only goes to prove that he was a selfish man who wanted to claim to be something he was not—a perfect husband to four women.

The ex-wives can now sit over a cup of tea and really rehash their shared journeys. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation since Kody’s ears would definitely be burning.

The Worst Kept Vanderpump Rules Secrets

The trailer for Vanderpump Rules has made the rounds, and we are here for the mess within. In this, however, a long-kept secret was revealed. This got us thinking. Over the years, this friend group has really sucked at keeping private matters hidden, no?

As Ally Lewber expressed in the shocking Season 11 trailer, “nothing in this group ever stays a secret.” She’s right, luckily…for us. We love a good uncovered truth. Therefore, let’s take a look back at some of the other worst kept secrets throughout Vanderpump Rules’ history.

All of Jax’s Indiscretions

Bravo/YouTube

During Jax Taylor‘s first 8 seasons on VPR, he was often accused of cheating on his girlfriends. His first reaction was to deny and lie. But the women in this cast talk, and dig, and therefore, all of Jax’s indiscretions came to the light.

Starting in Season 1, Jax insisted that he wasn’t unfaithful to Stassi Schroeder. Unable to keep his own secret, in the finale, Jax admitted that the allegations of his cheating in Las Vegas were true. In Season 2, a rumor began that Jax and Kristen Doute had hooked up, while Kristen was dating Tom Sandoval. After repeatedly denying this, Kristen finally confessed, as Jax had given Stassi access to their text messages, so the truth was coming out anyways.

During Season 6, Faith Stowers alleged that she had sex with Jax, who was dating Brittany Cartwright at the time. Even though Jax denied this, he later had to confess, as a recorded conversation between himself and Faith was unearthed. Basically, Jax lied often about cheating. His secrets were some of the worst kept on VPR though, as the truth always surfaced.

Stassi’s Cheating On Jax

After Jax cheated on her, Stassi slept with Frank Herlihy, but when she was called out, she lied. “This is so awful—I lied to Andy Cohen,” a 2016 uncensored episode saw Stassi admitting. “I just had to say no and fight to the death.” Stassi tried to keep her affair hidden, but in true VPR fashion, her secret was poorly kept.

Sandoval Kissed Ariana After All

Around the time Kristen and Jax hooked-up, Kristen insisted that Sandoval was cheating on her with Ariana Madix. While both Sandoval and Ariana denied this, Sandoval eventually came clean to Stassi.

He admitted to only kissing Ariana but denied that they had ever slept together, prior to his relationship with Kristen ending, that is. Stassi always made Sandoval chirp, as both his worst-kept secrets and his tempers typically failed in her presence.

Miami Girl

Watch What Happens Live/YouTube

After Sandoval and Ariana started dating, an angry Kristen flew out a woman named Annemarie. This woman claimed to have slept with Sandoval while he was with Ariana. When Annemarie walked into SUR, Sandoval and Ariana took off, and for years, they both denied Sandoval’s involvement with the “Miami Girl.” However, post a messy Season 10, Ariana gave Sandoval up on Watch What Happens Live.

“They slept together. It was before he and I were exclusive. I didn’t want people to think the absolute worst of the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, so I defended him,” Ariana explained.

Sandoval’s Miami Girl secret was not as well-kept as he had planned, because a scorned Vanderpump Rules woman will always expose the truth.

All of Schwartz’s Indiscretions

Bravo/YouTube

This season on Vanderpump Rules, the aforementioned secret that’s finally revealed is about Tom Schwartz and Scheana Shay, as they apparently kissed while Schwartz was with Katie Maloney. “I made out with Scheana in Vegas, and nobody knows that,” Schwartz tells a wide-eyed Lala Kent. Exasperated, Scheana stated that this was supposed to be a secret that was taken to the grave. Oops.

Just like Jax, none of Schwartz’s many indiscretions ever remained secretive. During Season 3, he was accused of making out with someone while with Katie. On this, he sold himself out, but also played it off, saying that he had “just” kissed her. After Schwartz and Katie wed, Schwartz admitted again in Season 6 that he had drunkenly made out with one of Lala’s friends, because when it comes to keeping his own secrets, Schwartz is the worst.

Lala and James’ Secret(s)

It took eight long years before James Kennedy and Lala came clean on their little secret. In Season 4, these twin flames were intimate after all. Their tryst occurred at the beginning of James’ relationship with Rachel Leviss, while Lala was also starting to date Randall Emmett. This now poorly-kept secret was revealed during Season 10, when Lala mentioned it all to Rachel.

James also self-revealed a secret in Season 4, as right after he lied to Kristen’s face, promising her that he didn’t sleep with another SUR employee, he took to a confessional and giddily said, “The truth is, Jenna and I were definitely boning.”

Ew, James. Also, what is up with all of these Vanderpump Rules cast members being unable to keep their own secrets hidden? Not that we’re mad. These worst-kept secrets have made for great television, so, keep spilling the tea, all.

Scandoval

Bravo/YouTube

This last poorly-kept secret just occurred during Season 10. Here, Sandoval and Ariana ended their nine-year relationship, as Ariana had discovered Sandoval’s hidden affair with Rachel. This bombshell revelation became known as “Scandoval,” and over the course of a few months, so many hidden secrets were uncovered. From covert dates to hook-ups, it all slipped out.

This dark event marked a turning point for Vanderpump Rules. The ratings went through the roof, and sleuths combed through old footage, looking for clues of this affair’s existence in earlier episodes. Whether or not Season 11 can maintain this momentum, we’ll have to wait and see. That said, as the cast members on VPR are the worst at keeping secrets, we likely have several additional seasons of drama left on tap.

TELL US – IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT WAS THE WORST KEPT VPR SECRET?
