Kim Zolciak is the latest name to be added to the RHOA Season 9 cast conversation now that the show is rumored to have kicked off filming for the upcoming new season!

Zolciak made her exit from RHOA after the show’s fifth season, going on to have her own spinoff show on Bravo, Don’t Be Tardy!
But ahead of the end of RHOA’s Season 8, Zolciak hinted that she may be making a comeback for Season 9! In a reply to a tweet from a fan, Zolciak admitted she would consider giving RHOA another go, mainly to cause a little “trouble” with her friend NeNe Leakes!

And now that Kandi Burruss has admitted there will likely be a major cast shakeup for the show’s ninth season, RHOA fans are speculating that Zolciak may be in the running for one of Season 9’s peaches.

According to recent reports, Leakes is already in talks to rejoin the cast after parting ways with the show after Season 7.

“NeNe is not dumb. She does exactly what needs to be done on RHOA,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “She is not afraid to fight with anyone and her take on every story is what the fans want. No one cares about the random ladies on the show. NeNe is the one they tune in to watch. So she will be back, earning the big bucks and laughing all the way to the bank.”

And seeing that Leakes is being mentioned along with fans pushing for Shereé Whitfield to return as a full-time housewife after her part-time comeback during Season 8, many are convinced Zolciak is a solid Sesaon 9 cast prospect since she could mark the return of three of the show’s original cast members!
