Kim Zolciak is returning to the cast of Bravo’s reality TV series Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Zolciak was an original cast member on Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s 1st season in 2008.

9 years and dozens of plastic surgery procedures later, Zolciak returns to the cast after leaving for her own reality show, Don’t Be Tardy, in 2012.

Zolciak reportedly began filming scenes for season 10 of RHOA. She’s committed to returning part-time while she works full time on Don’t Be Tardy.

The 38-year-old mother-of-6 admitted she is returning to RHOA part-time for a quick paycheck.

“Everything has a price. I’m just giving it to you straight. Given the right amount of money for anything? Yeah, count me in. I like to work. I have six children to support, so for sure!”

Zolciak left RHOA after season 5 to star in Don’t Be Tardy with her husband, unemployed NFL player Kroy Biermann.

Radar Online reports the couple has fallen on hard times since Biermann, 31, was cut from the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills.

The show’s producers practically begged Zolciak and original cast member NeNe Leakes to return to boost the show’s sagging ratings. RHOA has seen a 34% drop in ratings since January.

Leakes is also set to return to the cast.

Season 10 premieres on Bravo Network in the fall.
