Ariana Biermann, daughter of Kim Zolciak and stepdaughter of Kroy Biermann, has made headlines with revelations on Bravo’s new reality series, Next Gen NYC. In the show’s premiere, Ariana claimed that her parents depleted her earnings from years of reality TV and social media endorsements without her knowledge.

Ariana, now 23, began her television career at the age of five on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and later appeared on the spin-off Don’t Be Tardy. By 14, she was securing lucrative brand deals through Instagram. Despite these opportunities, she discovered two years ago that her earnings had vanished. She expressed frustration over the lack of transparency, stating she had no idea where the money went and that no one was honest with her about it.

The financial strain has also impacted her personal life, including her relationship with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy. Ariana shared that supporting her mother financially has caused tension between them. She recalled feeling upset upon seeing her mother enjoying a $200 bottle of champagne on Instagram, especially given the family’s financial struggles. Ariana emphasized her desire to have been informed about the financial situation earlier, feeling she was mature enough to handle the truth.

Despite the challenges, Ariana maintains a strong relationship with her mother. She revealed that Kim has been working hard on new projects to repay the borrowed money. Ariana expressed her hope that financial issues won’t damage their family relationships.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are currently amid a contentious divorce, marked by mutual allegations and financial troubles, including over $1 million in unpaid taxes. Their Atlanta mansion, once listed for $6 million, recently sold for $2.75 million.

Next Gen NYC airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives of celebrity offspring navigating adulthood in the Big Apple.
