Kim Zolciakwas as candid as ever during her return toThe Real Housewives of Atlanta.
“Bitch, you know I just speak my mind,” she told fellowRHOAOGsShereé Whitfield,Lisa WuandDeShawn Snowduring areunion for season 15that was filmed back in December. “I may not be right, but I [speak my mind].”
Among several topics on her mind was her marriage toKroy Biermann, whomshe met while filming season 3.
“I was like, literally, ‘Shereé, introduce me to Tight-Ass,'” recalled Kim, 45, with an early nickname for Kroy. “You want to know what’s really funny? He said before I ever saw him, when I came up to that room to see you, he saw me from afar and he [has told me since], ‘I just knew when I saw you.'”
When asked for an update on her relationship, Kim said, “We’re still married, it’s 11 years, we’re doing great. So whatever I did, I [chose] the right person. Crazy, crazy.”
Sunday’s episode aired just days after Kim and Kroy, 37, decided to call off their split less than two months after they both filed fordivorcein May.
Even though Kim described their marriage as “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation” at that time, a source told PEOPLE on Friday that the pair were “getting along and calling off the divorce. They’re trying to make it work for the kids.”

Kim and Kroy — whoseNovember 2011 wedding was filmed for theirRHOAspinoffseriesDon’t Be Tardy— sharefour children: 9-year-old twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, plus sons Kash Kade, 10, and Kroy Jagger, 11. Back in 2013, Kroy also legally adopted Kim’s daughters from previous relationships:Brielle, now 26, andAriana, now 21.
And in fact, just minutes after the news of her parents’ reconciliation became known to the public, Ariana posted a poignant Instagram Story photo with the caption:“God is so good.”
Zolciak was one of the original Atlanta Housewives when the series first premiered on Bravo in October 2008. Shestayed with the showthrough season 5, then chronicled her family’s day-to-day life inDon’t Be Tardyfrom 2012 to 2020.
“We will always be connected,” she told the women during the reunion dinner. Like any catchup between old friends, they touched on many topics, from kids andgrandkidstolegal woes, career updates and, coincidentally, divorces. (Shereé, 53, was already in an off phase with exBob WhitfieldwhenRHOAdebuted; DeShawn, 50, and Lisa, 52, both split from their husbands shortly after their exits from the show after seasons 1 and 2, respectively.)
“I love these girls,” Shereé said in a confessional. “There’s a love, a respect for each other. We go to dinners, go have drinks, you know just check in on each other. The past drama isn’t worth holding on to, and to be honest, I don’t remember a lot of it.”
Shereé was indeed keeping her eyes on the present — specifically Kim’s normally ample breast, When Shereé commented that her friend’s “tits look smaller,” Kim shot back “I can’t breathe” thanks to an ultra-fitted black lycra bodysuit (think Sandy at the end ofGrease).
Later, Shereé raised her own glass with a similar cheers: “This is to authenticity — OGs for life!”
