Kim Zolciak ADMITS she used daughter Ariana's money... and reveals new romance amid Kroy Biermann divorce
The 47-year-old former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star claimed to using all of her daughter's modeling income from her teen years to host Andy Cohen, but she insisted that she only used it to pay bills out of desperation amid her home foreclosure drama and her ugly divorce from her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 39.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kim revealed that she had moved on with a new man after splitting from the former NFL star, though she kept his identity a secret.
While speaking of turning to her children for financial supporting, Kim claimed that 'the rug was pulled out from the Zolciaks.'
'I was left holding the bag for the family, and yeah. . . ' she said on a defensive note.
Zolciak also confirmed that it wasn't just 23-year-old Ariana's money that went to paying for necessities, as her daughter Brielle, 28, also pitched in money 'for the bills and stuff,' though it sounded as if she at least had the option to consent to giving up her money.
The former RHOA star claimed to using all of her daughter's modeling income from her teen years to host Andy Cohen, but she insisted that she only used it to pay bills out of desperation — all while Ariana watched her from the front row
Ariana previously claimed on her reality series Next Gen NYC that her mother and stepfather didn't tell her that they had used all of the money she had earned from modeling gigs and influencer jobs.
However, Zolciak appeared to have worked things out with her daughter, as Ariana didn't look overly angry with her mother during the segment, and she beamed widely when Zolciak and Cohen talked about more upbeat topics.
The Don't Be Tardy star added that she had already repaid Ariana's money that had gone toward bills, and she suggested that she had 'spreadsheets' of what her daughter had made over the years to balance further down the road.
But Cohen didn't buy that Zolciak had done full due diligence on her debts to her second-oldest daughter.
'I don't imagine you have any spreadsheets,' he said to laughter from the audience.
'I don't have — I don't even know how to do it!' Zolciak admitted.
She was more animated during her appearance when the reality star admitted she was seeing a new man after splitting from Biermann.
'He's just great. You know, I sat in the house and just worked and tried to take care of everything for 20 months, and then I finally met somebody great,' she said warmly.
Kim also gushed about a new mystery man in her life, and she admitted that she wished she and her estranged husband Kroy communicated more about the four children they share
She didn't reveal her new man's identity, but she did say that a mutual friend had introduced them.
Zolciak also indicated that things were tense with her estranged husband, though the pressure seemed to have gone down a bit after she had moved out of their mansion outside of Atlanta into her own home.
'I would definitely prefer to communicate more regarding the children, but it's just not there right now,' she said somberly.
The exes share four minor children: Kroy 'KJ' Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and fraternal twins Kane and Kaia, 11.

Julia Fox catches the eye in a high-cut American football-inspired leotard and low-slung jeans during solo outing
Julia Fox was sure to catch the eye as she rocked an American football-inspired leotard during a casual solo outing in Los Angeles on Monday. The actress, 35, known for her flamboyant sense of style, oozed confidence as she modelled the high-cut red top which showed off a hint of skin. She teamed her shoulder pad clad top with a pair of low-slung jeans which boasted a quirky, underwear-style waistband. Julia teamed her outfit with a red visor and trendy oversized shades, which she teamed with a black and white clutch and black pointed heels. Not content with rocking one sports-inspired look, the stunner later wowed as she modelled a football inspired look wile promoting her latest movie HIM. Kanye West 's ex turned heads in a white sports jersey with a floral embellishment, teaming the look with floral lace leggings and a pillbox hat with netted veil. She rounded off the bizarre ensemble with a sporty handbag and towering white heels. Back in June, Julia proved she could ditch her outlandish, exhibitionist style - at least temporarily - in favor of a more traditional, natural look while promoting her new movie The Trainer in New York City. The former dominatrix bleached her natural brunette mane into oblivion beginning in February 2024, leaving her with a damaged pixie cut, and she only stopped bleaching her eyebrows last month after doing so since 2023. Julia bared her shoulders in a Jean Paul Gaultier spring 1997 mesh tube dress, featuring an old Hollywood print, along with brown knee-high boots and darker brown bag selected by her BFF/stylist Briana Andalore. Hairstylist John Novotny coiffed Fox's waist-length brunette wig, which was parted in the middle. The Milan-born, Manhattan-raised provocateur's wavy hairpiece more than resembled her natural brunette mane from back when she enjoyed a five-week fling with disgraced designer-rapper Kanye 'Ye' West in early 2022. Julia reflected on the high-profile split, which came before she started filming The Trainer, while making her first-ever appearance on CBS Mornings with writer-star Vito Schnabel. 'I was going through a lot during that time. I was coming off of, like, a very public breakup. It was horrible,' Fox lamented to Gayle King. 'And I just wanted to go to work and be able to just be somebody else. I loved being her. I feel like I have so much in common with her in terms of you know being, like, overlooked or not taken seriously or just dismissed. 'And I feel like that's why our characters kind of just, like, had this unique love story.' Meanwhile, audiences can next catch as the seductive Elsie White in Justin Tipping's NFL satanic horror film HIM - hitting US theaters September 19 and UK cinemas October 3 - produced by Jordan Peele. The Down the Drain singer has also been hard at work producing and judging the second season of her design competition OMG Fashun, but Peacock postponed the May release 'due to unexpected delays' but it's 'still in active production.' On the personal front, the 360 video vixen has primary custody of her four-year-old son Valentino from her three-year marriage to Brooklyn private pilot Peter Artemiev, which ended in 2022.

ROCHELLE Humes has posted a snap of Myleene Klass's ex Graham Quinn from Ibiza days after Myleene revealed bombshell cheating claims. Loose Women star Myleene, 47, said she walked in on her ex and a famous woman "unzipping" each other's clothes at her own birthday party. 6 6 6 Speaking on We Need To Talk podcast last month, Myleene said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. "I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… not that I would wish that on a family."

It comes as Myleene opened up on her messy divorce from Graham who she dated for around six years before having their first child, Ava, in 2007. Myleene spent her wedding day in 2011 in floods of tears, claiming he stopped her from "planning" a proper celebration. This Morning anchor Rochelle Humes forced to apologise as she breaks down in tears during emotional segment They separated after she believed he had been cheating, and Myleene, who was worth £11million but hadn't signed a pre-nup, found out he had bought a house in secret. She said: "They say you don't leave when you leave, you've gone already. "He'd actually got a house. He had a secret house that he'd bought already. "You don't just buy a house like that. When that came through I was reeling from it." She added: "All I will say to you is I've raised my children single-handedly, financially, as a sole parent for 12 years." Myleene is now engaged to Simon Motson, who she met four and a half years after her divorce. On Valentine's Day, 2019, the television presenter revealed that she was pregnant with her third child - her first with Simon. She gave birth to baby boy Apollo on August 1, 2019.

Clip of glam Sydney Sweeney expertly shooting targets goes viral as her ‘secret MAGA life' emerges after anti-woke ad
A CLIP of Sydney Sweeney blasting targets at a shooting range has gone viral - as she's adopted by the MAGA movement and praised by Trump. The video resurfaced after President Trump heaped praise on the actress's "anti-woke" American Eagle jeans advert and she was revealed to be a registered Republican. 9 9 The clip from 2019 shows a younger Sydney expertly burying rounds into a series of human-shaped dummies at the firing range. She appears well-practiced, skilfully banging two bullets into each in quick succession without so much as a flinch. At the end, she flashes a smile to the camera and holsters the weapon. Since Sydney starred in the controversial American Eagle jeans ad, clues that point to her living a secret MAGA life have emerged. The 27-year-old grew up in a small, Catholic, Trump-supporting town in Washington with her father, mother and younger brother Trent - and has previously said she had a "religious" upbringing. After accepting her breakout Euphoria role, Sydney revealed she had been nervous about how her community would react. She told Stylecaster in 2021: "What's crazy - and this is going to sound really bad- is when I first got sent the audition, I was too nervous to go do it. A surprise party she threw for her mom's 60th birthday drew considerable attention when pics were shared of the guests wearing MAGA-style hats and "Blue Lives Matter" shirts. And now, she has starred in the American Eagle ad which has seriously riled voices on the left, who claim it promotes a racial ideal, but delighted the right who hail it as the "end of woke advertising". Trump pours praise on Sydney Sweedy amid 'good jeans' American Eagle ad storm as her voter registration revealed The ad makes a play on the words "jeans" and "genes" - and the main tagline is "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans". It's been claimed that the promotion of Sydney's blonde hair and blue eye traits suggests they are superior to alternative genes. Sydney hasn't publicly commented on the furore stirred up by the ad, but made her first appearance at a screening of her upcoming film "Americana" on Monday. She was heckled by a fan who shouted: "Stop the ad, that is being racist," according to TMZ. 9 9 9 However, she got into her vehicle without responding. American Eagle defended its advertisement, but removed the video from its social media accounts. It then emerged over the weekend that the actress has been a registered Republican since June 2024 - and she soon received praise right from the top. President Trump was delighted when a reporter told him about Sydney's political leanings, and promptly declared that he "loves" her "fantastic" ad. He said on Sunday night: "That's one I wouldn't have known but I'm glad you told me that. 9 9 'If Sydney Sweeny is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.' Trump then doubled down on his enthusiastic support and cemented the American Eagle ad as a bastion of the "anti-woke" agenda. He declared in a Monday morning Truth Social post that the campaign is "the HOTTEST" and went on to slam "woke" companies like "stupid" Jaguar and Bud Light for their own advertising. Jaguar recently put out an ad with models dressed in brightly-coloured, flamboyant clothing - but no cars or the brand's logo. Trump insisted the British manufacturer, whose CEO resigned on last week, should have learned from Bug Light - which suffered a boycott and major losses after an advert featuring a transgender influencer. The President's conclusion: "Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be." What is the American Eagle controversy? JEANS brand American Eagle sparked a social media frenzy and intense controversy with its latest ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney. The series of ads make a play on the words "jeans" and "genes". Their most controversial element is the tagline: "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans," which some have interpreted as implying her blonde hair, blue eye traits are superior to others. Critics claim that the ads glorify a specific beauty standard and racial ideal. TikTok videos commenting on the campaign have racked up millions of view, and some of the ad clips have been removed from the brand's official accounts. However, American Eagle released a statement defending its campaign, insisting: "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans." Right-wing figures have hailed the episode as a triumph for the "anti-woke" movement. The Euphoria star has not commented herself on the controversial ad.
