AceShowbiz - Kim Zolciak-Biermann has opened up about her decision to step away from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", revealing that she turned down an offer to return due to the show's "toxic environment." The reality TV star shared her experiences on MTV's "Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets", expressing that she has "PTSD" from her time on "RHOA".

Zolciak-Biermann was one of the original cast members of "RHOA", joining in 2008. She left after five seasons, citing the stressful atmosphere. Despite brief guest appearances and her own spinoff, Don't Be Tardy, she maintained her decision to distance herself from the show.

"I walked away from millions of dollars," Zolciak-Biermann said on "Surreal Life". "It was f**king terrible. I was eight months pregnant with my son... glasses being thrown. I have PTSD from it."

Her candor impressed her co-stars, including Macy Gray, who praised her for prioritizing her well-being over fame and fortune.

Zolciak-Biermann acknowledged that karma has a way of catching up with people, adding, "I've watched it happen to people, and here I am." She declined to elaborate on who she was referring to.

Despite recent cast changes on "RHOA", including the return of Porsha Williams and rumors of Phaedra Parks' possible return, Zolciak-Biermann remains torn about the idea of coming back. However, she admitted that her opinion might change in the future.
