Kim Zolciak has finally addressed the situation regarding her daughter Ariana Beerman’s money, a month after the younger Beerman reached out to her.
In the most recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” host Andy Cohen confronted Zolciak about allegations that she had taken money from her 23-year-old daughter. Zolciak explained, “Things have been tough for me. Ariana’s money went towards our bills, and honestly, I’ve been left holding the bag.”
She added, “I borrowed money from Ariana and used it for bills and other expenses.” However, she acknowledged that she had not yet compensated Ariana for the profits she made from her social media presence.
Ariana, who attended the show’s premiere alongside her boyfriend Hudson McClelloy, previously expressed her frustration, saying, “I told her I have no idea how much money it even was, and there hasn’t been any honesty or transparency.”
Zolciak reiterated that she felt as if the rug had been pulled out from under her, stating, “I had to do something quickly; I didn’t have anything left.”
In her June appearance on “WWHL,” Ariana noted that both Zolciak and her estranged husband, Croy Biermann, played a role in the financial issues, asserting, “Everyone seems to want to point fingers at my mom. But this was a shared responsibility.”
Zolciak claimed that the funds Ariana provided went toward paying bills, declaring, “Brielle has helped out with various expenses, like electricity.” She also humorously noted that she isn’t great with tracking finances, saying, “I don’t keep spreadsheets; I’m just not that organized.”
Cohen also asked if Zolciak had borrowed money from her other daughter, Brielle Biermann, to which she confirmed that she had, explaining Brielle’s contributions in covering various bills.
As the conversation moved along, Zolciak opened up about her ongoing divorce from Croy, confirming that the process is currently still in progress. She also shared her excitement about a new relationship, saying, “After focusing on work and everything for 20 months, I finally met someone special.”
