Things are finally looking good for Kim Zolciak, with the possibility of attaining $1 million.
The former Bravolebrity is scheduled to return to reality TV, reuniting with another "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" alum for a chance to win massive prize money.
A million dollars will do wonders for Kim Zolciak, who has been experiencing months of financial trouble due to her divorce from Kroy Biermann.
Kim Zolciak Is Fighting For A Shot At $1 Million Amid Her Divorce
It is no secret that Zolciak's finances have been poor recently, with multiple creditors on her neck for owed bills. However, she appears to be in for better days after scoring a part in Hulu's upcoming show, "Got to Get Out."
News of the show broke in September 2023; however, Hulu did not share who the castmates would be. The mystery is finally over, as production sources recently confirmed that Zolciak will have a mini "RHOA" reunion with former co-star Cynthia Bailey.
The former Bravolebrities starred on the Housewives franchise for three full seasons, with Zolciak joining the show from 2008 to 2012. Meanwhile, Bailey began her journey in 2010 and left in 2021. Since their departure, the pair have made multiple cameos on the show.
The "RHOA" alumni reunion on Hulu's "Got to Get Out" could have been better if former castmate NeNe Leakes had joined them. Unfortunately, production sources confirmed with TMZ that she had turned down the deal.
Zolciak Joins Her Castmates In Toronto
According to the report, Zolciak, Bailey, and other cast members, including "The Hills" star Spencer Pratt, are ready to begin filming Hulu's "Got to Get Out." The group reportedly arrived in Toronto this past weekend and will be together for ten days.
Hulu's "Got to Get Out" is a reality TV game show in which celebrities and civilians live in a mansion and compete for prize money. The contestants work together for ten days to raise the prize—which increases by $1 every second—to $1 million.
Despite making players team up to raise the prize money, the show has them on their toes by allowing contestants to split the money as a team or betray the group, take the cash, and run!
Contestants are given opportunities to run at various times each day when the property gates open and the getaway car arrives. However, bolting with the prize money will be challenging as other players can stop someone's exit by hitting a red button to close the gate.
Zolciak Gets Slapped With Order To Pay Her Credit Card Debt
Days earlier, The Blast reported that Zolciak's financial troubles had increased following a judge's order to pay her credit card debt. She was mandated to cough up nearly $2,500 to Target National Bank over missed payments.
According to the TNB, Zolciak opened the credit card in 2007, but her debts began in 2022 when she defaulted on her payments. Her last payment of $500 was made in September of that year.
The bank was forced to request the law's interference following failed attempts to coax Zolciak into clearing the debt. Not only was the TV personality ordered to pay the owed amount, but she also got slapped with over $100 in court fees.
Kim Zolciak Called Out Over Her Lavish Spending
Creditors are not the only people after Zolciak, as her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, called her out in April over her extravagant spending habits. In court documents obtained by The Blast, the former athlete presented his case with a spreadsheet.
The document detailed Zolciak's purchases from 2016 to 2023, revealing she spent over $600,000 on luxury brands such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Chanel, Versace, and Agent Provocateur.
Biermann also highlighted Zolciak's social media posts, showcasing her costly beauty procedures, from vaginal rejuvenation to Botox injections.
He slammed his estranged wife for selfishly spending money on herself instead of contributing to their financially constrained household.
The 'RHOA' Alum Sold Her Skincare Brand
In February, The Blast reported that Zolciak had sold her Kashmere Kollections skincare brand amid financial troubles. She announced the sale on Instagram, sharing a press release about her company's acquisition by Tim Sharif's 310 Nutrition LLC.
"Kashmere Kollections, under Tim Sharif's leadership, will continue to bring the products customers love, expanding offerings to introduce new and innovative skincare solutions," the news release read.
Zolciak also expressed joy for Sharif's leadership in the post's caption and thanked fans for their years-long dedication, writing:
"Heartfelt thank you for the incredible loyalty you've shown @kashmerekollections! I can't wait to watch the brand's growth. Here's to your future filled with endless possibilities!"
