Ariana Biermann is putting her parents, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, on blast!
As you likely know, the former couple are experiencing major financial troubles amid their extremely messy divorce. Kim has tried everything to earn some cash quickly, including selling her wigs and fake Christmas trees — as well as sharing clickbait stories about her own family on social media. She and Kroy are desperate, so much so that the former reality stars reached a new low! According to Ariana, the pair took her money and spent every single penny! Yeah, you read that right! The 23-year-old claimed on the new show Next Gen NYC that her parents completely drained her bank account!

Bravo fans watched Ariana grow up on their screens since she was 5 years old. She appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Kim’s spin-off show Don’t Be Tardy. In addition to her work on reality television, she also became an influencer as a teenager, getting money from brand deals on social media. So with all that, Ariana’s likely earned quite a bit over the years — not that she would know! She hasn’t been able to enjoy her riches! Kim and Kroy did, though! The television personality explained in a confessional:
“I have been on TV since I was 5 years old. 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.”
Ariana has no clue “what they used it on” because she “found out that it was gone two years ago.” In fact, she doesn’t even know the amount she made in the past because Kim and Kroy spent the money before she could even check herself! She said:
“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.”
WTF…
How messed up! All of that money was Ariana’s to do what she wanted with, not her parents! And understandably, she is frustrated with Kim and Kroy now! Especially when she sees them splurging on expensive items while they are struggling financially — or before paying her back. While talking with her boyfriend Hudson McLeroy, Ariana shared that she saw Kim drinking a $200 bottle of wine on Instagram Stories, and it upset her. She said of her family’s financial woes:
“I wish I would have been kept in the light about it 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.”
The money problems not only strained Ariana’s relationship with her parents but her romance with Husdon. She said in a joint confessional with her beau:
“The thing that we do struggle with honestly sometimes is when my mom does call me and asks me for money now.”
To which Hudson replied:
“That’s where I get upset.”
He is really sick of Kim and Kroy at this point! Hudson even encouraged Ariana to cut her parents off, saying:
“You have to tell her, ‘No, I can’t send you money this month. You’ve already taken everything I have.’”
Oof. However, Ariana struggles to turn her momma away:
“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. I get it and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family.”
We knew Kim and Kroy were struggling in the financial department, but damn. To constantly ask their daughter for money (or just take it), the two must be in serious trouble. And poor Ariana. She’s in such a tough spot.
