In mid October, Kim Zolciak announced a 20-city motivational speaking tour. But it appears it never got off the ground.
"I'm so flipping EXCITED!!!!! I have talked about this for years and I'm finally doing it!" the Atlanta reality show wrote on her Instagram. "You guys really motivated me after watching some of my speech on Don't Be Tardy the comments/emails you guys wrote me were awesome."
The first date was supposed to take place at an unspecified locale in Duluth this month.
The last reference to the tour on her Instagram was five weeks ago:
While the Instagram message refers to her website www.kimzolciak.com to get tickets, there is no place on her site today to get tickets and no additional tour information. The page set aside for tour info is no longer active.
A Zolciak spokesperson did not respond to my inquiry. UPDATE: The Daily Mail said a spokesman told them they are changing venues and info will be back in January. That doesn't really address the other 19 supposed cities.
Perez Hilton on November 11 reported Zolciak began trying to sell tickets at prices starting at $125 for a three-hour seminar and $50 more for VIP treatment, including a meet and greet. In a poll, 91 percent of respondents felt that was too high. Tickets were quickly dropped to $65, according to RealityTea.
Presuming the tour is dead, she clearly didn't garner enough demand from fans to merit going forward.
Zolciak's fourth season of "Don't Be Tardy" recently concluded on Bravo. There is no word yet from the network on a renewal. She participated in the most recent season of "Dancing With the Stars" but was disqualified after she had a minor heart attack and couldn't get back to Los Angeles in time for the competition.
For now, she posts pictures regularly on Instagram of herself, where she has 1.8 million followers.
