Bravo

Forget the peach, she's offering up a slice of humble pie!

Kim Zolciak just issued an apology statement for saying that "racism isn't real," on the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, and the reality star swears that her comments were made to seem worse by some tricky editing.

"During the last RHOA reunion episode, I made a comment that confused and offended people. I sincerely apologize. Edited out of context, I understand why my remark angered people. Racism is a sad reality in the United States. It has been prevalent throughout our country’s history. Let me be very clear, I do NOT support, tolerate or put up with any form of racism, hate or other discrimination. My love for ALL people runs deep — I am open to all and always have been,” the statement began.

The blonde bombshell maintains that she made the remarks to emphasize how social media has change the dialogue around racism.

“I was heartbroken when I watched the last few minutes of the episode and saw how my words were taken out of context. My comment that seemingly ‘racism didn’t exist 10 years ago’ was made as part of a larger, emotional 45-minute conversation about how, sadly, social media has become a hub for hate. Immediately following my confusing comment, I also said that ‘it’s not as real as it is now,’ referring to the power of social media. But those remarks didn’t make the show," she added.

"I believe that social media has made a centuries-old issue more real. Before social media, the public simply observed the news. Now, the public actively participates and has an opportunity to take action — in real time. But this is a double edged sword. Now, when false accusations are made, they are amplified by online platforms regardless of their merit. This wasn’t the case 10 years ago when I started on RHOA,” she continued.

“I truly pray that the people wishing horrible things on others, and on me, channel that energy into something positive. Our world would be a much better place if you do. I am committed to making this world a better place to live. I will continue to learn from, and be open to, ALL people," she concluded.

In the wake of the scandal, the Bravo-lebrity has pressed pause on filming her spinoff Don't Be Tardy to deal with the bad press and backlash.

"Kim and her team have halted all production for Don’t Be Tardy while her lawyers have been working around the clock to investigate and deal with the final episode of the RHOA reunion. Kim has pulled the plug on filming. She’s very upset about the entire situation," a source dished to Us Weekly.

We wouldn't want to be her publicist dealing with this mess!
