Kim Zolciak demands psychological evaluation for Kroy Biermann amid ongoing divorce battle

Express Tribune22-02-2025
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann's relationship has taken another dramatic turn, with Biermann filing for divorce for the third time.
In court documents filed in Cobb County, Georgia, Biermann claims their marriage is 'irretrievably broken,' following Zolciak's recent move from Fulton County.
The filing came after Zolciak, 46, raised concerns that Biermann may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease common among former football players. Zolciak suggests that Biermann's erratic and violent behavior could be linked to CTE, urging the court to have him undergo an evaluation. She cited statistics showing the prevalence of the disease among retired NFL players.
The couple, who married in 2011, initially filed for divorce in May 2023 but called it off. They filed again in August 2023, and the latest divorce filing occurred in early 2025. Their ongoing separation has been riddled with controversies, including financial struggles and allegations of abuse.
Their once luxurious Milton mansion, which had been at risk of foreclosure three times, was recently sold for nearly half its original $6 million asking price. A judge also implemented a "closet schedule" to ensure limited interaction between the estranged couple.
Biermann, 39, is seeking primary custody of their four minor children, who currently live with him. Both Zolciak and Biermann have filed for psychological evaluations as part of their ongoing custody and property battle, with court proceedings expected to continue in the coming months.

Shannon Sharpe speaks out after ESPN exit ahead of brother Sterling's career milestone

Shannon Sharpe has spoken publicly following his reported departure from ESPN, sharing his thoughts on the timing of the news and its impact on a personal family milestone. On his Nightcap podcast, the former NFL star said he is 'at peace' with ESPN's decision but expressed regret that the announcement came just days before his brother Sterling Sharpe's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 'I found out this information a little earlier in the week,' Sharpe explained, 'and really the only thing that I really asked is, 'Guys, could we wait until Monday?' My brother's going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame… I said, 'This coming out will overshadow everything he's worked his entire life for.' And, unfortunately, it didn't happen that way.' Sharpe joined ESPN in 2023 after leaving FS1's Undisputed, later appearing regularly on First Take. He also hosts Club Shay Shay, a long-running podcast, and Nightcap, where he addressed the exit directly. He said he 'profusely' apologised to his brother for the timing, which he believes drew attention away from Sterling's historic recognition. 'First two brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and this is what the headline is going to be for the next couple of days.' Sharpe's exit follows the settlement of a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada earlier this year, which included accusations of assault and misconduct, allegations he has denied through legal counsel. Despite the circumstances, Sharpe reflected positively on his time at ESPN, saying, 'They gave me an opportunity to bring my audience that saw me really just grow.'

Shannon Sharpe parts ways with ESPN following sexual assault lawsuit settlement

Former NFL star and ESPN commentator Shannon Sharpe will not return to ESPN following the recent settlement of a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him, Variety confirmed. The decision marks the end of Sharpe's role on ESPN's 'First Take,' where he had been a recurring presence alongside host Stephen A. Smith. Sharpe initially announced a temporary leave from the network in April 2025 to address the legal matter. In a public statement shared at the time, Sharpe maintained that the relationship in question was '100% consensual' and labeled the lawsuit 'false and disruptive.' ESPN supported his decision to step away, stating, 'This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon's decision to step away.' The lawsuit, filed by an unnamed Nevada woman under the pseudonym 'Jane Doe,' accused Sharpe of rape and threats during a two-year relationship. She sought $50 million in damages. Sharpe's attorney, Lanny J. Davis, dismissed the allegations as 'a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharpe,' calling the claims 'filled with lies, distortions, and misrepresentations.' The two parties reached a confidential settlement following what the plaintiff's attorney Tony Buzbee described as 'protracted and respectful' negotiations. The case was officially dismissed with prejudice on July 18, meaning it cannot be refiled. Sharpe, 57, joined ESPN's 'First Take' in 2023 and had recently signed a new agreement in 2024 to expand his appearances, typically hosting segments on Mondays and Tuesdays. In addition to his ESPN work, he also hosts the popular 'Club Shay Shay' podcast. Sharpe rose to prominence as an NFL analyst after a Hall of Fame career with the Denver Broncos and later became a fixture on Fox Sports' 'Undisputed' alongside Skip Bayless. Neither ESPN nor Sharpe's representatives have provided additional comment on his departure.

NY mass shooter blamed NFL for his brain injuries

A man who killed four people, then committed suicide in a New York skyscraper, may have been targeting the NFL offices there because he blamed the American football league for brain injuries he said he suffered, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. The revelation that the killer, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, carried a note referring to the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), offered the first possible motive for the shootings late Monday that brought central Manhattan to a standstill. The attacker shot a police officer outside the tower on Park Avenue, then opened fire in the lobby, before trying to head up to the National Football League's offices, armed with a semi-automatic rifle. The suicide note said "that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participated in contact sports. He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury," Adams told CBS News. Adams said that Tamura had never actually played for the top professional league. However, he was reportedly a star player at high-school-level in California
