Kim Zolciak has been eliminated from "Dancing With the stars" after she failed to perform on Monday, Sept. 28.
The actress was not able to compete sue to her recent hospitalization for a mini stroke. Kim explained via Skype from her Atlanta home that her doctor did not allow and clear her to fly during Monday night's broadcast. She also said that she would have driven to Los Angeles, where the show is being taped, if she had lived closer.
Host Tom Bergeron explained that the "Don't Be Tardy" star had to be eliminated since she could not dance because of medical reasons. As a result, Kim's partner Tony Dovolani danced their scheduled "I Dream of Jeannie" routine with a fellow pro and the show's dance troupe instead.
"The rules of the competition dictate that @Kimzolciak must withdraw, but her health is the most important thing. #DWTS," the show's official Twitter account posted on Monday.
"She is bummed," a source told Us Weekly. Kim even shared with followers on Instagram that she was "really sad" to be eliminated.
"I practiced for hours Saturday I was so excited to be there tonight!" she wrote in the caption of a video with Tony. "I just needed a few more days and then I'm cleared to fly! #ImReallySad #ImStrong."
To recall, the mother of six was hospitalized after she suffered a frightening mini stroke on Set. 22. The RHOA alum shared via Instagram that the left side of her body went numb and that she was momentarily inept to speak.
Meanwhile, Kim had to fight off rumors that she faked her scary ordeal in an effort to garner sympathy votes on the hit ABC reality competition series.
As a matter of fact, she took to Instagram on Monday to slam TV host Wendy Williams for her negative remarks against the incident.
"Absolutely appalling!! @wendywilliams how disgusting for you to insinuate I 'faked' my mini stroke on your show this morning!!" Kim wrote in a post alongside an email sent by Wendy's staff last week, asking her to appear on the show via Skype. "You mad cause I didn't come on your show! This clearly shows your warped mentality!!"
