Ariana Biermann is sharing more insight into her claims that her parents, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, “took” money from her.
“I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be just my mother.This was a joint partnership in taking the money,” Ariana, 23, shared during a Sunday, June 29, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, adding that she gave both Kim, 47, and Kroy, 39, “notice” that she would be discussing the topic on Bravo’s Next Gen NYC.
“I’m going to be telling my truth and my story, and this is what’s happening,” she added.
Host Andy Cohen asked Ariana if she had “figured out how much money” was spent by her parents.
“No, and I don’t really want to know,” Ariana replied, explaining that “the only time my mom asks me for money is if it’s regarding the bills or it’s something that she needs for the kids.”
Ariana made it clear that Kim will pay her back “when she can.”
During an episode of Next Gen NYC, which aired earlier this month, Ariana told viewers that she started making money from Instagram brand deals as a teenager.

“Unfortunately, my parents took my money,” she claimed on the show. “I can’t say exactly what they used it on, because I just found out that it was gone two years ago. 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.”
During Sunday’s WWHL episode, Ariana explained how she “reconciled” with her mom after the money drama.
“Nobody wants to be put in situations that they are put into. My mom, no matter what, will be my best friend forever,” Ariana said. “Money should never ruin a relationship with your family. You can always make more money, and God blesses us in that way. I have my mom and that’s all that matters.”
Ariana also shared that her relationship with Kroy “goes in waves,” especially as his divorce from Kim is still ongoing.
“It depends on what motion he’s filing throughout this insane divorce this week,” he said. “He will always be my dad, no matter what. I think that it’s just a tough situation right now because I think a lot of these things are coming from just anger and nothing else.”
Kim initially filed for divorce from Kroy in May 2023. They dismissed the petition in July of that year with Kroy filing for divorce in August 2023. Their divorce proceedings are still ongoing.
Ariana said on Sunday that the “biggest misconception” regarding Kim and Kroy’s split is the status of their relationship.
“For some reason, right now, everyone thinks they’re getting back together,” she said. “Which is absolutely insane.”
