Reality‑TV star Kim Zolciak has once again found herself in the spotlight, this time for a very personal reason: a custody battle with her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann. After Biermann filed court documents claiming that Zolciak had missed mandatory therapy sessions and had even been involved in a dog‑bite incident that supposedly harmed the children, the former RHOA star didn’t stay silent. She launched a vigorous rebuttal on social media, calling the allegations false and accusing the internet of blowing the situation out of proportion.
The Custody Battle Unfolds
Kim and Kroy’s marriage began in 2008, and the couple welcomed two children together. Their relationship, however, began to fray in 2022, culminating in a divorce filing that was finalized in early 2024. While the divorce was largely amicable, the question of who would have primary custody of the kids became a contentious point. In late March, Biermann’s legal team filed a motion for sole custody, citing a series of alleged lapses on Zolciak’s part. The petition highlighted two main concerns: first, that Zolciak had missed several scheduled therapy sessions that were part of a court‑ordered parenting plan; and second, that she had been involved in an incident where a family dog bit one of the children, allegedly during a period when Zolciak was supposed to be supervising them.
These allegations came to light when TMZ reported on April 3 that Zolciak had temporarily lost custody of her children. The story quickly spread across social‑media platforms, with many fans and critics taking sides. The court documents, which were released to the public, did not provide a definitive ruling on the custody question but did give the judge a clear picture of the concerns that prompted Biermann’s request.
Kim Zolciak’s Public Response
Within hours of the TMZ article, Zolciak took to Instagram to address the claims. In a short, but pointed, story, she overlaid a screenshot of the TMZ piece and wrote, I will absolutely not put up with these lies any longer. The post was followed by a longer, black‑background story where she elaborated on her side of the story. She insisted that the allegations were unfounded, stating that she had indeed attended all required therapy sessions and that the dog‑bite incident was a misunderstanding that had been resolved privately.
In her extended post, Zolciak also called out the “internet” for “playing with my life.” She urged her followers to stop spreading unverified rumors and to respect her family’s privacy. The star’s tone was defensive yet composed, a hallmark of her public persona. She added that she was fully committed to co‑parenting and that she would continue to fight for the well‑being of her children.
Legal Context and Current Status
From a legal standpoint, the court has not yet issued a final decision on the custody arrangement. The temporary loss of custody mentioned in the TMZ story refers to a provisional order that allows Biermann to have the children for a short period while the case is being reviewed. This is a common practice in family‑law disputes where the judge believes there may be a risk to the children’s safety or well‑being.
