While many fans felt disappointed with the decision to axe “Don’t Be Tardy” from Bravo, the star behind the camera felt good about how things ended. A source close to the situation reveals that it was a mutual decision between the network and Zolciak and Co. “Kim’s not sad about “Don’t Be Tardy” ending. Yes, it’s emotional because of how long her family filmed the show and all the memories they created, but she sees this as a positive change,” an insider told Us Weekly in 2021, following the show’s cancellation. “She feels like she’s finally free after a 13-year-long relationship to do other projects she’s wanted to do.” The source also called the decision to end the series “perfect timing” since most of the storylines had run their courses. In addition, Zolciak was happy to be able to focus on other aspects of her career. “She has a lot more time now to focus on building her brand,” the insider added.
Following the show’s cancellation, Zolciak and Biermann’s reps also issued a statement via Variety, thanking NBC Universal, Bravo, and fans for their support along the way. “In times of significant growth there are steps that have to be strategically taken, but rest assured, you will see the Biermann family on your TV screens again very soon.” We haven’t seen the family back on TV yet, but their current financial woes have been garnering plenty of headlines.
