“I left millions of dollars behind me,” Zolciak told her co-star Josie Canseco after she said she saw the “toxic environment” when she witnessed The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City filmed. “I was eight months pregnant with my son…glasses were thrown. It was bloody awful.”

Zolciak continued, “I suffer from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. I don’t have enough money to go through what I went through, ever.”

The television personality was one of the original cast members of RHOA when the show premiered in 2008. Zolciak was a full-time cast member for the first five seasons before quitting. Bravo gave Zolciak a spin-off titled Don’t be late which revolved around her daily life, her husband Kroy Biermann and her family. The show premiered in 2012 and ran for eight seasons. It ended its Bravo broadcast in 2020.
