Divorces Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann are living in the same house but they ‘hate each other’

The Zolciak-Biermann divorce is getting uglier by the day. The couple formerly known as Kim and Kroy Zolciak-Biermann is having a ton of financial problems, they’re fighting over legal and physical custody of their four minor children, Kim asked for Kroy to be drug tested, and Kroy accused Kim of having a gambling addiction and asked for a psych evaluation. Most recently Kim has accused Kroy of being mentally abusive. But I didn’t realize that despite all this mudslinging, apparently they are still living in the same house and hating every moment of it. Yikes.

Anyone holding out hope that Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann might find some common ground during their nasty divorce should just give up … cuz it just ain’t happening.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the estranged couple has stopped all direct communication … only having a back and forth using their lawyers.

What’s more — the two still live under the same roof, but in separate wings of the house, while still sharing their 4 young kids between the two of them. Our sources says there’s absolutely zero chance the pair will ever get along again, things are just that bad.

When speaking of their relationship, our source says, “They hate each other. It’s very contentious.” We’re told the whole thing has been messy for their family, and will continue at least until the divorce is finalized and Kim and Kroy can legally go their separate ways.

TMZ broke the story, Kim filed docs earlier this week defending herself as a mother and accusing Kroy of being mentally and emotionally abusive over the years.

Kroy’s taken his own jabs at Kim, too, accusing her of having a serious gambling addiction and asking the judge for sole physical and legal custody of the couple’s children.

Of course, the divorce has been nasty from the beginning … both filed separate divorce petitions on the heels of TMZ learning the couple is in the hole with the IRS for more than $1 million.

Well, they do have a huge house, which is currently in foreclosure. So if they’re staying in separate wings, maybe it’s not so hard to avoid their hated former other half. The still living together thing has shades of Scandoval, except trashier and less mature and just plain sadder because there are four minor children involved. Like that can’t be good for the kids to be living in a house with two parents who absolutely hate each other. Even if things were not great before, it’s probably markedly worse since the divorce filing. But you know who is not choosing sides? Kim’s two adult daughters from her previous relationships. Kroy officially adopted Brielle and Ariana 10 years ago after marrying Kim and both girls wished him a happy Father’s Day on Instagram. It looks like they may have even spent the day together too. He did seem like a real dad to the girls, so that’s nice, though it probably makes things awkward with their mom.

Sheree Whitfield: Kim Zolciak is ‘not doing well’ in her divorce from Kroy



Kim Zolciak of Real Housewives of Atlanta antagonist fame is getting a divorce from Kroy Biermann after 12 years of marriage. The divorce (and year) seems to be going poorly so far. Their shared home was in foreclosure before the divorce, they were and are having a lot of financial problems, and they’re fighting over legal and physical custody of their minor children. It’s gotten even uglier recently, with Kim asking for Kroy to be drug tested and Kroy accusing her of having a gambling addiction and asking for a psych evaluation. So it any surprise she’s not doing well? Current and OG cast member Sheree Whitfield appeared on Watch What Happens Live recently and told Andy Cohen as much.

Kim Zolciak is “not doing well” amid her divorce from Kroy Biermann.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Sunday (June 10), where she opened up about the news of the split.

“I am in touch with her, and I was shocked. I thought her and Kroy [were] gonna be forever. I’m really sad for them,” she said.

“I’ve been in contact with her, and she’s not doing well. She’s not doing well. No, she’s taking it really bad.”

When asked about the “root cause” of the divorce, Sheree had no answers.

A bombshell police report has revealed details of what happened in the day leading up to Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann‘s split.

[From Just Jared]

I’m no Kim sympathizer. She’s a terrible person and it’s no surprise that she’s having a terrible divorce. But of course she’s not doing well; anyone would be doing poorly under such circumstances. It’s really ugly and it’s ugly for their shared children, but that can also be said of most of Kim’s media presence for the past 15 years or so. Like Sheree, I’m also surprised that Kim and Kroy are getting divorced. He always seemed rather hapless and vacant, like he needed someone to run his life for him. So I’m shocked they’re splitting and I also didn’t think he had it in him to fight so dirty. But I guess they were together for a reason. Like Hecate wondered in her past coverage, is Kim looking to make a Housewives comeback? And is Sheree helping her do it? Kim definitely needs the money and she certainly wouldn’t be the first Housewife to go through a messy divorce and head back to the show.

Divorces Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Bierman’s friends expect their divorce ‘to get really bad’

We are on day three of the Kim Zolciak/Kroy Biermann divorce and it’s already getting muddy. So when sources were dispatched to say that this was going to get nasty, the outlets responded with a general, ya think?! Both Kim and Kroy have released their filings to the press, making it look like the other person is responsible for their $1.1 million tax bill. Now they’re getting various people to tell the media that they are simultaneously a very tight-knit, close family but also that this split has been brewing for a while. Both Kim and Kroy are making it clear there is no third party involved – yet. However, they’re dropping major hints that the other person shouldn’t be trusted with the children. Or the money, apparently. This isn’t *going* to get messy, it already is.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann’s divorce could become contentious as a potential custody battle looms.

A source close to The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 44, and her estranged husband exclusively tells PEOPLE that “everyone expects this divorce is going to get really bad because neither of them will give in.”

“Divorce is terrible but the kids are going to have to go through this in a very public manner,” the insider adds, referring to the couple’s four children: 9-year-old twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, plus sons Kash Kade, 10, and Kroy Jagger, 11.

Biermann also legally adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s older daughters Ariana Biermann, 21, and Brielle Biermann, 26, in 2013.

The source shares that Biermann, 37, is the “absolute sweetest guy” but struggled with his role in the household.

“As a couple, it’s obvious that Kim has always been the head of the household,” the source explains. “Because of that, this makes [the divorce] even harder for him.”

“It’s really sad because he is a great dad,” the source adds. “With that said, they were both very involved parents and they both deserve to share custody and anyone that knows them would agree.”

“She’s not cutting the kids off from Kroy,” a second source close to the mom of six previously told PEOPLE. “She wants him to be involved as their dad.”

A friend of the RHOA star also told PEOPLE that she had been planning her split from her husband of nearly 12 years for “a long time,” though that fact hasn’t made the divorce news any easier for the family.

The divorce news now makes Zolciak-Biermann a strong candidate to join the cast of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, the first source tells PEOPLE.

“I am sure they are considering her for the next Girls Trip and I know if she is offered to do it, she will take it,” the insider adds. “Sadly, this drama makes her have a huge story line and that is obviously attractive for reality TV.”

[From People]

Good lord, day three and we already have so much to unpack! Keep up, too, because we know every moment of this divorce will be aired. Kim will be screaming from her turret like the town crier each morning. Everything Kim does turns angry. She couldn’t even give a tour of her house without bitterness. Kim says she doesn’t want to cut Kroy off from the kids but I’d put money on the fact she’s not ready to be a full-time parent. And with the IRS about to freeze her assets, a full-time nanny will be an issue. Kroy getting full custody means a big ol’ support check, which means he doesn’t think he’s getting much spousal support.

That bit at the end, though, the part about Kim being eligible for the Housewives Girls Trip – klassy. Were it any other person I would say no, they aren’t throwing a grenade in the middle of their family so they can get hired for a reality show. But if the tacky platform heel fits…

Divorces Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are divorcing but they still live together

Embed from Getty Images

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s gold leafed love story is coming to a close. Or rather, Kim is slamming that book shut and tossing it in a drawer before the feds can find it. Kim and Kroy have been married for almost 12 years. During that time, they have inundated us with their over-the-top lifestyle on their reality show, Don’t Be Tardy, selfies with them hanging all over each other and protestations that they are totally in lust with each other, dammit. And now we find out that maybe their union wasn’t as rock solid as Kroy’s impressive biceps? Color me shocked.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann’s marriage is reportedly over.

The Bravo stars called it quits after nearly 12 years of marriage, according to TMZ.

The pair’s date of separation has been listed as April 30, per court documents obtained by TMZ. In the filing, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star described her marriage as “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.” Zolciak-Biermann is seeking primary physical custody of their children and joint legal custody; she has also asked for spousal support and the restoration of her maiden name.

Zolciak-Biermann previously denied reports of trouble in her marriage with Biermann in 2016 when rumors of friction surfaced after the now-retired NFL player was cut from the Buffalo Bills.

“These f—ing idiots that write this s— in the tabloids, all for clicks on your website,” she said at the time. “You say that Kroy and I are ‘at war’ because he’s home with me so much? Newsflash, a–holes: He played for the Atlanta Falcons for eight years so he’s always been f—ing home! Yahoo!”

She added, “On a more serious note, I really don’t appreciate people talking s— – especially s— that’s not true because I have the most incredible husband in the world.”

Zolciak-Biermann even said she was “married to the king,” also calling Biermann “the most incredible human that’s ever walked this planet.”

[From People]

Even though Kim filed because her marriage was, “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation,” Hollywood Life reported that the couple is still living in that big ol’ Atlanta manse they’re clinging on to by claw or by crook. There’s plenty of room, I’m sure they just pick a room and shout MINE! Plus, they probably had to sell off all their belongings to keep the house, so there’s nothing to throw at each other.

This is about money, too. Kim’s filing is very specific. She filed on May 1 and cited April 30th as their separation date. Guess what else got filed on May 1? A $1.1 million tax bill the couple owes to the IRS. The IRS doesn’t care if you’re a Bravolebrity, just ask Al Capone. So even though Kim and Kroy pulled some grift to get their mansion off the auction block, they aren’t dancing around that tax bill. And that isn’t the end of their issues. They owe the state of Georgia $15,000 as well. Apparently Kroy was the family’s manager. So with Kim’s filing dates, it looks like she’s trying to legally maneuver herself away from some of the fiscal responsibility. But Kroy’s petition just dropped and his said that Kim “must maintain all financial documents… including all income records, tax records, expense records and more.” So they are blaming each other. Plus they both want sole physical custody of their minor kids, they have Brielle, 26, Ariana, 21, Kroy, 11, Kade, 10 and twins Kaia and Kane, nine. Kim wants joint legal custody and Kroy wants sole legal custody. This is getting messy fast.

Kroy hasn’t been scrubbed from Kim’s Instagram… yet

Kim Zolciak Money Real Estate

Kim Zolciak’s mansion is in foreclosure: ‘I’m here until I want to move’

If you’re like me, you weren’t so much wondering why we hadn’t heard from the Zolciak-Biermann clan in a while as you were happy for the extended break. I guess they’ve had other things to worry about, like where is the best place to hide in their huge Atlanta compound when the bank comes knocking. Kim Zolciak-Bierman and husband Kroy Biermann bought a place in Alpharetta, Ga. in 2012. She showed off her Bedazzled McMansion in a video for her fans soon after they’d purchased it, touting how well she’d done with it, all while carrying a red Solo cup. Kim and Kroy allegedly faced foreclosure on the place in 2014, but somehow managed to avoid it. Last year, foreclosure rumors swirled once more, claiming the house would be auctioned off by the bank. Naturally an ego that needs 17,000 square feet wasn’t going to let people believe she couldn’t afford rent, so Kim posted an Instagram story saying nuh-uh in November. Only now, Truist Bank, who holds the note for the house, has scheduled an auction for March 7th. Oops.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann and husband Kroy Biermann’s Alpharetta, Ga. mansion is in foreclosure.

According to a notice shared Wednesday by Fulton County, Truist Bank will auction off the property on March 7 in front of the Fulton County Courthouse after the couple defaulted on a $1.65 million loan they took out for the property in Oct. 2012.

An attorney and rep for the couple did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Realtor.com estimates the 7-bedroom home is currently worth $2,540,300.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum previously denied rumors the home was in foreclosure with a video on her Instagram Story captured by @BravoHousewives in November.

“Ok you guys, my house has not sold for $257,000,” she started in the clip, panning around the interior of her home. “If you guys think I would let my home that we’ve put millions and millions of dollars into go for $257,000, you’re an idiot, okay? For real.

“So, what are you gonna do, haters, when I’m here for Christmas, and I’m here for my birthday in May, and I’m here for all these amazing dates?

“I’m here until I f—ing want to move, until I decide I don’t want to live here anymore. So, enjoy the view, haters. You’re going to be seeing it for quite some time,” added Zolciak-Biermann.

[From People via DListed]

In the video where Kim calls out us Haters, she makes it sounds like she has a choice in the matter. Of course she didn’t “sell” it for $257K, the bank would sell it to recoup some of their losses. Although I do believe the part about Kim not moving until she wants to. I could absolutely see her squatting in that place. I love her comment about “all these amazing dates” we are supposed to be waiting for. Like Arbor Day? National Bread Day? I mean, what constitutes amazing in the Zolciak-Biermann house? They’re spending their money somewhere, must be on all these amazing dates.

So how did the Biermanns get here? I have no idea, but I can guess. In her walk through of the house when she first bought it, it was clear Kim wanted to display her wealth as much as possible. She has Versace China that no one’s ever touched, thrones for her and Kroy to sit in at the dining table and she keeps her pool at 98° because she “doesn’t like cold water.” I could see the dollar signs rising out of the water as she spoke. Kim has the KAB Beauty line with daughters Ariana and Brielle and another line hawking skin care, Kashmere. I assume they’ve funneled a ton of money in those. Then there’s the fleet of high priced SUVs. Lord knows what Kroy’s doing these days, other than what Kim tells him to. I think the real culprit is that, once again, Kim and Kroy chose to ignore reality (actual reality, not television reality, which they would never ignore) and simply didn’t fulfill their obligations. Right after the news broke about this scheduled auction, Kim responded by posting a video of Kroy vacuuming their manse in his underwear. See?! Everything’s fine, Haters. Because they’re still in their home and being silly. No worry on these Botoxed brows! Kim’s going to find out that smoke and mirrors won’t get her out of this one. The auction is on the books, that’s not a threat. The bank’s done. She can try to save face all she wants but public auctions are public record.

And according to this clip, it looks like Brielle attended her mom’s How to Business classes.

Babies Brielle Biermann Kim Zolciak

Brielle Biermann’s mom Kim Zolciak keeps pressuring her to have a baby

I haven’t written about Kim Zolciak, her kids or her unfortunate pets in a long time. It’s been a lovely break. But the oldest child, Brielle Biermann, recently appeared on the podcast Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef and well, it went bad quickly. Brielle, who is 25 and as far as I know her occupation is riding her mom’s coattails, told the listeners that mom Kim is baby crazy. So she’s pressuring Brielle to have one. And if Brielle won’t, Kim’s turning to next-in-line, 20-year-old Ariana Biermann. And if her ungrateful brats won’t pop out this living doll for Kim to put on Instagram, Brielle said Kim thinks she’ll be forced to have her own. Which, of course, she’s been trying to convince her husband Kroy for years, but he won’t reverse his vasectomy for her. Please, God, make it stop.

Kim Zolciak is dying to be promoted to “Grandma,” according to her oldest daughter.

“She wants me to have a child,” Brielle Biermann, 25, revealed on Monday’s episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef” podcast.

“She’s like, ‘Come on, you’re not getting any younger. Like, I want a little baby. And if you don’t have it, I’m going to have one,’” she went on, adding that the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum doesn’t care whether said child comes from her or her 20-year-old sister, Ariana Biermann.

“She’s like, ‘Ariana come on. Like, one of y’all have a baby. I’ll take care of it.’ I’m like, ‘You’re insane. I’m not having kids.’”

“Oh my God, she would love it. She would lose her mind,” the recent redhead explained, adding that Zolciak — who is also mom to sons Kroy Jr., 11, and Kash, 10, as well as fraternal twins Kaia and Kane, 8 — “would be so excited that there was a baby coming around.”

“She loves babies. Not so much like the states of [the] kids there [at her house],” Brielle quipped. “I mean, she loves that, too — but like, babies? She has baby fever.”

“I always used to say [to my mom] growing up, ‘I want you to raise my kids because you did such a good job,’” she said, crediting her parents with establishing an “open” environment that allows her to “share everything you could think of with them.”

[From Page Six]

As far as I could tell by my cursory research online, Brielle is unattached. So Kim wants her unpaired child, with no training beyond reality TV, whose livelihood is solely dependent on her mother’s cosmetic company, that’s struggling in the oversaturated market, to produce a child she doesn’t want yet for Kim to play with. There is no responsible reply to this. Especially with this family’s history of exploiting anything that lives under its roof. The children should not be pressured to have children for their mother. Kim should not be given any more children to raise, and the focus shouldn’t be on keeping a baby around, but raising a healthy and well-adjusted child, something Kim loses sight of, apparently. I’m even more shaken that Brielle sees her mother as a role model of parenting.

My parents were not perfect, but they never pressured any of us to get married or have kids and I am so grateful for that. They were excited for the ones that came around, but that excitement came after the announcement. My kids are still teens, but I feel the same way and told them as much. Whether they have long-standing partnerships and families is completely their choice. I have no drive for future generations. Granted, I was never a ‘baby person,’ but even if that’s what Kim is missing from her life, volunteer at a day care or to hold babies in the NICU. Kids, no matter how vapid, take those kinds of comments to heart. Ariana who already shows signs of living in Brielle’s shadow. I’d hate for her to see this as a way to earn a few points in Mom’s eye. I know Kim’s reputation is as the Outrageous One who says whatever she’s thinking, but this is unfair to her kids, who have already had too much family pressure put on them to make Kim’s living for her.

If Kim wants to play grandma so bad, she should befriend Nick Cannon and his girlfriends. I’m sure they’d love the extra babysitter.

Business ventures Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak is launching a $77 a month ‘spiritual academy’ to manifest your dreams

149785608_460141738473377_2598030419471651928_n


The last time we talked about Kim Zolciak she was defending getting Botox and fillers early in lockdown, in May 2020, because “Atlanta opened up.” Now she’s apparently launching a new business venture. She has a new “spiritual academy” that sounds like standard law of attraction stuff and costs $77 a month. She’s partnering with someone named Nicole Zeola. Zeola only has 1,800 followers on Twitter, her Instagram is private, and she doesn’t even have a YouTube channel. Kim met Nicole in June when she needed guidance after losing her friend, a psychic she worked with for years whom she calls Grandma Rose. Kim’s video announcement is below and here’s the caption.

I am so excited to announce The Spiritual Academy! Our FIRST LIVE session is this Sunday 8/8 at 8 pm EST.🙌

This is a private members-only community for people who are truly passionate about living their best life! It is for anyone who wants to increase their vibration and manifest their desires. @nicolezeolalove and I are so passionate about this and want to help people that are ready to step into more of their power.

I don’t know if you are aware but you align with whatever your dominant vibrations are. We want all of you to vibrate on the same frequency as success, happiness, and abundance and we are here to help you get there.

When you learn to increase your vibration, you will begin to manifest your dreams. Honestly, nearly every big success is built upon failure. Sometimes we are often fooled by the “darkness before the dawn” and stop before we reach that success. But with just a little push, a little encouragement, and some support it carries you through to the light and that’s why we created The Spiritual Academy. 🙏

We also oftentimes block ourselves from receiving all that we desire and @nicolezeolalove will be hosting clearings to rid you of the “blocks” and clear your chakras. I will also be doing Q&A’s, where we will dive further into all of this on Sunday. We cant wait to meet all of you! Head over to the link in my bio and click the label “Spiritual Academy” to sign up there. See you Sunday!! XOXO

[From Instagram via DListed]

None of what Kim is saying is new or innovative. This is what all of the manifestation people say about removing your blocks and raising your vibration. It sounds scammy, but some of the YouTubers have similar monthly subscriptions and this cost is pretty average. This stuff should be free, but some people are willing to pay for it for advice and a community.

I take meditation/manifestation zoom classes about once a week. I also listen to affirmation and manifestation meditations. Lockdown has been tough and it helps me stay positive. (I go to therapy when I need it, but that’s $170 an hour compared under $25.) Most of the manifestation stuff is about being a happier person, setting goals and believing in yourself. There is a dark side to the law of attraction in that it can be weaponized to say that poor or sick people deserve their plight, so I try to be more balanced about it than that.

If you’d like to try some meditation/manifestation YouTube channels I recommend Jason Stephenson, Love The Life You Live and Great Meditation. There’s also an excellent more traditional therapy channel called Therapy in a Nutshell.
