Ariana Biermann BLASTS Kim & Kroy for Stealing Her Influencer Paychecks and Still Begging for More!

Ariana Biermann isn’t holding back. On the June 3 premiere of Next Gen NYC, the 23-year-old reality star made explosive claims against her parents, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak, 47, and former NFL player Kroy Biermann, 39—alleging they took money she earned as a teen influencer and kept her in the dark about their financial issues.

“I have been on TV since I was five years old,” Ariana said in a confessional. “I did reality television with my family, and then I started posting on Instagram. I got my first brand deal when I was 14. I was doing like three posts a week, and you get paid astronomical to do a Story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money. But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.”

In a candid lunch conversation with her boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, Ariana continued opening up about the toll it’s taken—especially as her mother continues to ask her for financial help.

“She almost brags to us that she’s like, ‘Oh yeah. I’m drinking the same bottle of wine right now,’” Ariana shared, referencing a $200 bottle Kim reportedly showcased in a social media Story.

Hudson responded with visible frustration: “We’re like, ‘Why are you doing that?’” According to Ariana, she didn’t realize the extent of the financial damage until recently. “I don’t even know how much money I made over the time period. Nobody was honest, there was no transparency, and I have no idea where it actually went,” she said in a confessional.

She then revealed that the lack of honesty about the family’s financial collapse pushed her to move out.

“I wish I would’ve been kept in the light about it because I feel like I was grown enough to know the truth. To know, ‘There is nothing left. Our house is about to be gone.’ Instead of the lying… Because the lying is why I moved out,” she said.

In a joint confessional with Hudson, Ariana admitted that financial requests from her mom are a point of tension in their relationship. “The thing that we do honestly struggle with sometimes is when my mom does call and ask me for money now,” she confessed.

“That’s where I get upset,” Hudson agreed. In a flashback scene, Ariana is seen FaceTiming with Kim, reassuring her mom: “You can pay [me] back whenever.” “You have to tell her, like, ‘No, I can’t send you money this month. You’ve already taken everything I have,’” Hudson urged.

But Ariana, still feeling responsible, explained her reluctance to cut her mom off.

“Sometimes I don’t tell Hudson when she’s asking me to send her something because she’s going through this crazy divorce and a mother to four kids. I get it, and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family, ever.”

Hudson, however, pushed back, asking how Ariana could be sure the money was even going toward her siblings.

“Are you sure it’s money for the kids? How do you exactly know where that money is that you’re Zelle-ing to her? It’s pure cash. She can do whatever she wants with it,” he said. “It is our business because of the position that they’ve put you in.”

Hudson ended the conversation with a plea: “I just wish you would say no sometimes.”

Next Gen NYC airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
