Ariana Biermann, 23, has accused her parents, Kim Zolciak, 47, and Kroy Biermann, 39, of misappropriating funds she earned as a teen influencer. The claims surfaced on the June 3 premiere of “Next Gen NYC.” Biermann, a reality star, alleges her parents took her money and failed too be transparent about their financial difficulties.
Biermann said she began earning money from Instagram posts and brand deals at age 14. She stated that while the pay was substantial, her parents allegedly took control of her earnings. This revelation came during a confessional on the show.
In a conversation with her boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, Biermann discussed the ongoing financial strain. She said that her mother, Zolciak, continues to request financial assistance, even flaunting expensive purchases on social media.
Biermann said she was unaware of the extent of her family’s financial problems. She expressed frustration over the lack of transparency, which ultimately led to her decision to move out.
McLeroy voiced his concern over Zolciak’s requests for money, questioning whether the funds were actually benefiting her siblings. He urged Biermann to set boundaries and decline her mother’s requests.
Biermann acknowledged her reluctance to refuse her mother, citing the ongoing divorce and her duty as a mother to four children. She expressed her desire to maintain a positive relationship with her family, despite the financial challenges.
“I have been on TV as I was five years old,” Biermann said. “I did reality television with my family, and then I started posting on Instagram… I made quite a bit of money. But, regrettably, my parents took my money.”
“I wish I would’ve been kept in the light about it as I feel like I was grown enough to know the truth,” Biermann said.”Rather of the lying… As the lying is why I moved out.”
