Kim Zolciak is clearing the air regarding recent rumors about her relationship with her second eldest daughter, Ariana Biermann.
How to Watch
After The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum posted a photo and caption that seemed to indicate that her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, had potentially passed away, Ariana took to TikTok to say that she “had about a damn heart attack” when she saw the post.
Now, Kim doubling down on posting the “RIP” photo on her Instagram Stories as well as sharing whether she’s estranged from her daughter or not.
Kim Zolciak Refutes Ariana’s Claims About Her Kroy Post
In a statement she shared to CelebBuzz, Kim said, “…to expand on Ariana ‘slamming me for implying Kroy died,’ Ariana knows damn well that if something ever happened to Kroy, she would’ve been immediately notified long before any Instagram post.”
Kim also clarified that Ariana made her TikTok video in response to “her own DMs that she was getting” from fans who were “slamming [Kim] claiming [she] said Kroy died.”
“Which, again, I NEVER said and NEVER implied,” Kim said. “People need to learn how to read and dissect information before jumping to conclusions and claiming I said things I did not.”

“Everyone is asking me about the truth about Ariana and I, like, is our relationship fractured because she discussed a post that I made on Instagram?” Kim said. “Some people claimed I was implying Kroy died (which I already addressed was the FARTHEST thing from the truth last week).”
“Ariana and I are great. We have always had an extremely close mother/daughter relationship,” she continued. “And always will.”

Though Kim is not in the best place with the former NFL player, her eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle Biermann, still have a relationship with their stepdad.
“Divorces are messy, and clearly even though I have my issues with Kroy, he was such a big part of raising them and their childhood,” Kim continued in her CelebBuzz statement. “I do understand why they still have loyalty to and love for Kroy.”
She added that she “would never, EVER do anything to take that away from them or any of our children.”
