Bravo Greenlights Another Season For Kim Zolciak’s ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ And She'll Get Raise

Kim Zolciak has scored a new season of Don't Be Tardy—and a raise! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Despite getting fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta after her racist remarks, enough fans are tuning into Kim’s spin-off show that Bravo offered her another season to share her life with hubby Kroy Biermann and their brood.
“Kim’s numbers on ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ are doing really well once the DVR numbers are accounted for,” an insider told RadarOnline.com.
“Bravo wants her back for another season, but she needs a stronger lead-in show.”
While the show had low ratings after getting switched from following RHOA on Sunday nights to a less desirable Friday night slot on Bravo, the ratings later rebounded and execs were happy.
Viewers of the current season 7 of Tardy have recently seen such drama as Kim having a health scare as she turned 40 and her daughter Brielle Biermann leaving the family nest.
With the fan enthusiasm for such storylines, “Kim is getting another season of the show and she will also get a raise,” the source said.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kim made $1.5 million per season and her daughter Brielle was pulling in a hefty $192,000 for the reality show.
The mom-of-six lucked out with Bravo picking up Don’t Be Tardy for another season, the source said.
“She’s getting her family vacation paid for again.”
