Kim Zolciak Quits "Housewives"

Wetpaint just released Kim's enormous salary for starring on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." She makes a whopping $600,000 per season to star on the show. She also gets a bonus of $150,000 for appearing on the Reunion show. After hearing that I found it shocking that she made the decision to quit the show. Kim announced that filming became too hard for her at eight months pregnant. Her last appearance will be December 2nd which means she must have quit mid taping. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season has just begun and December 2nd would only put them at halfway through the season. This is what Kim had to say about leaving the show. "I was eight months pregnant and there was so much drama; I just had to walk. I've taken on so much in the past five years, but this was the final straw. My priority was the child inside me." Alot of the drama was centered around the fact that Kim cancelled on a trip to Antiqua with the other cast members at the last minute. She explained "They couldn't understand why I couldn't go," Kim explains of her co-stars. "Fighting is what we're known for, but I've never disagreed with a pregnant woman. It's not one life you're dealing with, it's two." While every story has two sides I think Kim made an honorable decision. I personally don't feel like a woman 8 months pregnant should be traveling somewhere she has never been anyway. It shows a lot of character for anyone to walk away from that much money that some might call 'easy money.' However, Kim should continue to do well in her life. She is married to football player Kroy Biermann for the Atlanta Falcons. Kim did reveal some remorse about leaving by saying "I can't say it was easy to end that chapter. After all, I met my husband through this show."
