Kim Zolciak FURIOUS After Daughter Ariana Biermann Exposed She STOLE Her Money!!
Kim Zolciak is reportedly pissed with daughter Ariana Biermann after she spoke publicly about the money her mother allegedly stole from her.
“Airing all this dirty laundry doesn’t make sense to her,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Kim has been very quiet since her divorce, and she doesn’t like airing her family matters for public consumption. Kim doesn’t understand why she is talking about it.”
Ariana, 23, is one of six children from Kim’s family with estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, 39. In addition to Ariana, the former couple share Brielle, 28, KJ, 14, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11. Kroy adopted both Ariana and Brielle, Kim’s daughters from a previous relationship, after marrying the Real Housewives of Atlanta star.
Ariana Speaks Out on ‘Next Gen NYC’
Ariana is currently appearing on Bravo’s Next Gen NYC, which documents her life after relocating to New York City. On a recent episode, she shared that she believes her parents mismanaged earnings she generated during her younger years.
“Unfortunately, my parents took my money,” Ariana claimed during the episode. “I can’t say exactly what they used it on, because I just found out that it was gone two years ago. I don’t even know how much money I made over the time period. Nobody was honest. There was no transparency. And I have no idea where it actually went.”
Ariana Says She Gave Her Parents a Heads-Up
Ariana later addressed her comments during a June appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, revealing that her parents were informed in advance.
“The only time my mom asks me for money is if it’s regarding the bills or it’s something that she needs for the kids,” she said. Ariana also emphasized that Kim “does pay her back ‘when she can.’”
Despite the financial challenges, Ariana said she and Kim remain close.
“Nobody wants to be put in situations that they are put into. My mom, no matter what, will be my best friend forever,” she said. “Money should never ruin a relationship with your family. You can always make more money, and God blesses us in that way. I have my mom and that’s all that matters.”
Looking Ahead: Ariana Says She’s Focused on Independence
Ahead of the premiere of Next Gen NYC, Ariana told Us Weekly that she is focused on financial independence and is in a better place than before.
“I just continue to build up and make my own money, support myself as a 23-year-old and just continue to try to take every opportunity I can to build back up everything,” she said. “I think I’m the [most] financially stable I’ve ever been in my life, which is awesome.”
She added, “My mom’s doing great, too. She’s working really hard and has a lot of great things going for her, and my dad’s working too, so everything’s going in the right direction and moving forward.”
Next Gen NYC airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
