Her Teen Affair With Married Cop

The brash don’t be tardy star was making shocking headlines long before she became a reality TV diva.

THE tiny town of Windsor Locks (population 12,500), nestled in Connecticut’s north-central countryside, was once best known as the hometown of actress Kathryn Morris (who starred for seven seasons as Philadelphia police detective Lilly Rush on the hit CBS series Cold Case). That is, until 2008, when native daughter Kim Zolciak made her presence known — loudly — as one of the brassy and sassy original stars of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
