Fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are noticing signs of money woes for alum Kim Zolciak-Biermann. The OG housewife has been promoting her and her children's various business endeavors while also encouraging her followers to donate. Considering the recent cancellation of her spin-off show, Don't Be Tardy, and her husband, Kroy Biermann, paying off a hefty debt in June 2021, spectators are beginning to wonder if Kim is asking for donations because she's facing financial hardships. The mother of six isn't cashing a check from Bravo anymore, and it looks like she has gotten desperate.
A lot has changed for former RHOA star Kim in the last few years. Don't Be Tardy was canceled after eight seasons with producers claiming the series ran its course. This came after a cast shakeup on her former show, RHOA, where fellow OG NeNe Leakes ignited a war against Bravo. When calling out the network, NeNe even insinuated discrimination played a part in Kim and Lisa Vanderpump being the only two former housewives to secure their spin-offs. But with Kim's show getting axed, it looks like her alleged favoritism with the network came to an end.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann Had A Donation Link In Her Bio
In late 2021, Kim's followers noticed an update to her Instagram bio that included a link to her LinkTree account. "Dont b Tardy 2 our party! Bravo star13yrs 6 kids, 5 dogs, 4 companies and growing," Kim's bio reads before including her booking information. Kim highlights her family businesses, including her skincare brand Kashmere, her SaltyK swimwear line, and the cosmetic line Kim launched with her daughters, Brielle and Ariana Biermann, KAB Cosmetics. At the bottom, Kim included a link where her supporters could donate $5, $10, $20, $50, or an amount of their choosing, as captured by All About The Tea. However, after the word of Kim's donation request hit the press, Kim seemingly deleted the donation link.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann Denied Financial Issues Quickly
After one of Kim's followers asked what Kroy does for a living since retiring from professional sports in the summer of 2021, Kim posted an Instagram story revealing his current job as the family's manager. The donation request left many fans believing that Kim was possibly having money issues. With the news being made public and Kim opting to delete the link, it also hints at the speculation offending her. Her donation request came two months after her husband Kroy finally paid off a $22,000 debt he owed to his former sports agents.
Kim revealed they were doing just fine in the money department and that Kroy had simply transitioned to the family manager. However, many fans thought Kim was trying to save face after her donation request was put on blast. With Kim having no reality TV check coming through, The Real Housewives of Atlanta fans think that desperate times are calling for desperate measures. Maybe Kim will consider returning to the show role now that her spin-off has been over for a while.
