A “Real Housewives” star made a guest appearance on her franchise but she’s unlikely to return to the show in a full-time role, according to sources.

Kim Zolciak appeared on the first five seasons of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and has made guest appearances on and off since. Her most recent stint on the show comes in season 15, which sparked some chatter that the reality star may be returning to the franchise in a full-time role in the near future.

A source told Us Weekly, however, that that’s not the case.

“She is not going back to RHOA, she has no plans to return full-time. It’s one episode. They brought the OGs back for an episode,” the source said.

Heavy has reached out to Zolciak’s rep for comment.
