Kim Zolziak left Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) at the beginning of Season 5. She allegedly refused to film with the cast. She also allegedly made racist comments (e.g. using the N word, said Kandi Burruss lives in the ghetto, disparaging comments about dark skin, etc.) about her cast mates and intimated that she was better than the show. Allegedly her financial condition has changed and she now needs to supplement her income and she is trying to come back on the show. After her departure from RHOA, the ratings soared and the show became the highest rated show on the BRAVO network. Kim was given her spinoff show, "Don't Be Tardy." In Season 1 the weekly viewership averaged 1.6M and each season thereafter the viewership has steadily declined dipping at or below 1M viewers. Conversely RHOA averages over 2.5M viewers a week. Adding Kim back to RHOA will cause the ratings to decline and adversely affect the show's success and popularity. BRAVO and Andy Cohen we respectively ask that you do not add Kim back to the cast in order to ensure the success of RHOA.
