Ariana Biermann Says Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann Spent All Her Money
Ariana Biermann is calling out her parents.
The Next Gen NYC star slammed her mom Kim Zolciak for allegedly draining her bank accounts amid The Real Housewives of Atlanta star's messy, years-long divorce from Kroy Biermann.
"I have been on TV since I was 5 years old," Ariana recounted in a confessional on the June 3 premiere of her new Bravo reality series. "I did reality television with my family and then I started posting on Instagram. I got my first brand deal when I was 14. I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical to do a story or to do an Instagram post and I made quite a bit of money. But, unfortunately, my parents took my money."
"I can't say exactly what they used it on," the influencer added, "because I just found out that it was gone two years ago."
As for how much money Kim and Kroy—who share kids Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11, as well as Ariana's older sister Brielle, 27— supposedly took from the 23-year-old during their breakup?
"I don't even know how much money I made over the time period," she admitted. "Nobody was honest, there was no transparency and I have no idea where it actually went."
During a conversation with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy, Ariana revealed she saw Kim drinking a $200 bottle of wine on her Instagram Stories, which left her understandably annoyed.
"I wish I would have been kept in the light about it," she vented to Hudson of the money issues, "because I feel like I was grown enough to know the truth. To know there is nothing left, our house is about to be gone, instead of the lying. I get it, lying is why I moved out."
Ariana then revealed how her parents' financial issues have put a strain on her relationship with Hudson.
"The thing that we do struggle with honestly sometimes is when my mom does call me and asks me for money now," she shared in a joint confessional, to which Hudson replied, "That's where I get upset."
Hudson further encouraged his girlfriend to cut her parents off.
"You have to tell her, 'No, I can't send you money this month,'" he told Ariana. "'You've already taken everything I have.'"
But it isn't that easy for Ariana to deny her mom's ongoing requests for cash.
"Sometimes I don't tell Hudson when she's asking me for something because she's going through this crazy divorce and living with four kids," she concluded in a confessional. "I get it and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family."
E! News reached out to Kim and Kroy for comment but has yet to hear back.

Riley Burruss may have music legend and The Real Housewives of Atlanta veteran Kandi Burruss as a mom, but she’s determined to make her mark on her own terms. Riley hustled through her NYU years, snagging every high-profile internship in sight. Level-headed and totally unfazed, she says exactly what she’s thinking, which makes her the go-to for people who can handle the truth. Now she has one year to discover her true passion (or it’s off to law school and a 9-to-5 life) and with childhood friend Ariana Biermann suddenly back in her orbit, things are about to get a lot more dramatic. Can Riley figure it all out or is growing up about to serve her a major reality check?

Now he’s heading straight into the hustle of New York City, all in the name of love. He and Ariana Biermann have been on-again, off-again sweethearts since junior high, and while they might seem like a match made in heaven, navigating Manhattan’s social scene can be taxing on any relationship. Hudson’s got charm, ambition and a Southern gentleman’s manners, but can he handle this circle of friends (and frenemies) or is fitting in about to become his riskiest investment yet?
Shai Fruchter has spent his whole life adapting—from growing up between Israel and China to transplanting into a suburban New Jersey high school.

Growing up with mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann on The Real Housewives of Atlanta taught her how to navigate chaos, keep her circle tight and always stand up for what’s right. Can she build a life on her own terms or is she about to learn that Southern loyalty doesn’t always translate in the big city?
