Real Housewives star slammed for casino promo after estranged husband says she gambled away $1.5M fortune
Kim Zolciak is facing fresh backlash after promoting an online casino — despite ongoing claims that her gambling habit helped tank her family's finances. The 47-year-old former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann have been embroiled in ongoing legal and financial chaos, shocking fans when they each filed for divorce in May 2023 after nearly 12 years of marriage. Since then, the pair have been locked in a messy dispute over their Georgia mansion, custody of their four minor children, child support, and alimony. Amid 9-1-1 calls and fiery claims from both sides, the former NFL linebacker told police in 2023 that Kim was a 'compulsive behavior addict' who had blown a staggering $1.5 million on gambling. But this week, Kim appeared to shrug off the drama, posting an Instagram video promoting the online casino Stake. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'One of my favorite things to do when I have some free time is to play on Stake,' she captioned the clip. Now, fans say Kim's casino promo is just the latest sign she's not owning up to her mistakes. Many see it as her flaunting the same behavior that wrecked her marriage and finances in the first place, as critics didn't hold back in the comments. 'Isn't this the issue that caused the split? #gottaproblemdontcare,' one user asked. Kim clapped back, replying, '@lauriesg absolutely not.' But the backlash kept coming: 'Omg your gambling. You've learned nothing,' one wrote. Another added, 'Ain't u already gamble away your fam's $?' while someone else chimed in, 'Promoting gambling when you have literally lost everything. Get it together, girl.' The accusations about Kim's gambling losses were seen in a 2023 Milton Police Department bodycam video after officers responded to the home after Kim reported a domestic dispute. Many see it as her flaunting the same behavior that wrecked her marriage and finances in the first place, as critics didn't hold back in the comments Biermann said that Zolciak's penchant for gambling had grown exponentially in recent years. They were pictured in Atlanta in October of 2022 The footage was obtained by about two months after Biermann and Zolciak filed for divorce from one another. Biermann - who was cautious as he spoke to law enforcement in hopes Zolciak would not hear him- called the Bravo personality a 'narcissist to the extreme level.' Biermann said that Zolciak's penchant for gambling had grown exponentially in recent years. 'It's probably been going on for pretty much our entire marriage and it's gotten significantly worse,' Biermann said of Zolciak. 'In the last two years, she's gambled away $700,000 - just in the last two-and-a-half years.' He added: 'The total in the marriage was about $1.5 million dollars - and she does it online.' In the incident, Zolciak told police that Biermann had locked in a safe a cache of valuable items she owned that were worth $175,000 - including designer purses and jewelry - and hid the key from her. Biermann said he believed the lot of items fell under the classification of community property, adding of the items: 'The problem is these are the assets, there are no [other] assets to go to.' Biermann told police that the Don't Be Tardy alum 'has decimated everything' with her penchant for gambling; he added that some of her gaming activity was illegal. Zolciak and Biermann's four kids - Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kane and Kaia, 10- were at home at the time of the altercation. (Biermann had adopted Zolciak's older children from previous relationships - Brielle, 26, and Ariana Biermann, 21 - when they were minors in the couple's earlier years.) In documents filed at the time, Zolciak said that Biermann smokes marijuana, calling into credibility his ability to raise their kids; while Biermann claimed that Zolciak's gambling habit has consumed her time and decimated the family finances. In February, the exes sold their Georgia home for $2.5 million, after originally attempting to sell it for $6 million. They bought the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom property in 2012 for $880,000. In March, Kim confirmed she's dating again just days after breaking down in tears over finally being 'free of' Kroy. While she didn't reveal the identity of her suitor, Zolciak — who was previously linked to Tom Hanks' son Chet — dished that he's 'age-appropriate' and 'definitely not' a Hollywood type.

Kim Zolciak looks very SLIM in a bikini as she says she 'can't believe I am 47' as it used to 'seem old'
Kim Zolciak shared new bikini images to Instagram on Tuesday that were taken at the Amanyara resort in the Turks And Caicos. The Bravo veteran was on a beach vacation as she celebrated her 47th birthday with a red SOLO cup in hand. 'My favorite place on earth guys,' she said in a video. In her caption Kim added, 'I want to say thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday ❤️ I'm forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life; 2025 has been incredible already. 'I can't believe I'm 47! Funny how old that seemed when I was 27! I feel the best I have in years and honestly I had no idea was peace really was until this past year ✨ 'I love you guys so much and appreciate all the support.' The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star had a flat tummy and small waistline as she wore the little triangle top and matching briefs. The star appeared very slender as fans keep asking if she is using Ozempic to shed the extra pounds. While the Florida native has never admitted to using weight loss drugs she has in the past promoted the weight loss pill called Lean Body System. Meanwhile, she is still trying to divorce her estranged h usband Kroy Biermann amid their intense financial woes. The star told TMZ that she's seeing someone new and is 'really happy.' While she didn't reveal the identity of her suitor, Zolciak — who was previously linked to Tom Hanks' son Chet — dished that he's 'age-appropriate' and 'definitely not' a Hollywood type. However, she stopped short of calling him her boyfriend as she said: 'I wouldn't say I've got a new man.' 'I'm just happy. I have my kids. I'm in my new house. I'm working,' Zolciak gushed. Zolciak and ex Biermann finally sold their Georgia mansion last month for $2.75 million — days before he would file for divorce for a third time. Amid her and Biermann's ugly split, Zolciak fueled romance rumors with Chet. She and the 34-year-old rapper sparked romance rumors back in July after flirting outrageously with one another while starring on the MTV reality show The Surreal Life. Their flirting caught the attention of their housemates and was caught on camera throughout the series before culminating in a suggestive exchange in one episode during a group dinner on a houseboat in Colombia. 'My favorite place on earth guys,' she said in a video. In her caption Kim added, 'I want to say thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday ❤️ I'm forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life; 2025 has been incredible already' 'I wanna bond with you more, Kim,' Chet said as Kim smiled at him during the episode. He added: 'I've been wanting to come holler at you and kick it with you 'cause like you're cool as f***.' 'Oh, I'm coming to you tonight. That's what I decided earlier. So you must've felt that,' Kim told Chet. Hanks told Page Six at the time that 'meeting Kim Zolciak' was 'one of the best moments of my life.' However, he insisted that he and Zolicak were just 'really good friends' while wishing her 'the best' amid her divorce. Last October, Zolciak was asked about romance rumors with Chet, and she simply just called him a 'nice guy,' exclusively revealed. Just one month later, Zolciak and Hanks looked very cozy as they attended their pal Jelly Roll's concert in November. Zolciak took to Instagram to share selfies and videos from her fun-filled night as fans got a glimpse of the duo looking loved up. Zolciak and Hanks shared VIP room snaps and were hosted by the country star and his wife Alyssa DeFord, also known as 'Bunnie XO.' The love birds were also joined by their pal Jenny Doyle. Kim penned in the caption: 'Had the best time with @jellyroll615 and his beautiful wifey @xomgitsbunnie so fun much with @chethanx @jennydoyle1111. 'One of my absolute favorite concerts and everyone that was/is part of this massive operation is beyond kind. There are no words for the happiness and joy that surrounded us all that night. I saw a whole lot of sparkle in the crowd.' Since their November concert meet-up, Zolciak and Hanks haven't been spotted together publicly nor have they posted about one another. Zolciak's dating news comes just days after she made rare remarks about her divorce from Biermann. She broke down in tears while on stage with Kristin Cavallari over the weekend during the Atlanta stop of Cavallari's Let's Be Honest tour. Insiders told TMZ the women stayed on the subject of Zolciak's divorce for about 20 minutes, during which the reality TV star got visibly teary-eyed. It was also said that Kim labeled her 39-year-old ex a narcissist and clapped back at his claim that she has a gambling problem, noting she never patronized a casino without him. Kim also addressed cameras she's said Biermann set up throughout their marital home to spy on her, sharing she is now 'finally free.' TMZ reported in February that Zolciak wants medical professionals to determine if the former Atlanta Falcons player has CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a degenerative brain disease that afflicts many long-term football players. In documents filed in family court, she stated she believes her ex is battling the effects of the disease and asked the court to appoint healthcare workers to examine her estranged spouse. Zolciak claimed Biermann often has expletive-laden outbursts in the presence of their four underage children.
