The divorce of Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann continues to unravel in dramatic and very public fashion, and Kim’s finally breaking her silence.
During a live taping in Atlanta for Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast for E!’s Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour show, Kim opened up about her painful split. The two reality stars bonded over their messy breakups – Kristin finalized her divorce from former NFL player Jay Cutler in 2022 – and Kim didn’t hold back.

A preview for Kristin’s upcoming E! show teased a raw conversation with Kim about love gone wrong. Kristin, no stranger to high-profile splits herself, didn’t mince words: “We’re over here like, ‘Are you f*cking kidding me?’”

Kim took the moment to directly address a major accusation from her estranged husband. “I’ve wanted to speak,” she told the crowd. “Like, Kroy filing a motion saying I’m an unfit parent. I’ve been on TV what? Like 17 years. The only thing that hasn’t been said about me is that I’ve been a bad parent. You cannot say that.”
She continued, “My kids are my entire life. They always have been. I raised my girls by myself. And that’s one thing that Kroy knew what would hurt me the most.”
Since filing for divorce in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage, things have spiraled fast. From numerous police visits to a court-ordered schedule for accessing their primary suite closet, the legal back-and-forth has been relentless. The court ordered both to undergo psychological testing.
Despite sharing four children and once living under the same roof post-split amid financial ruin, the situation hasn’t cooled. “You’re with somebody for this long, I’m not an *sshole,” Kim said. “I still, even today, was nice on the phone. I still treat him with respect.”
Even Kristin seemed overwhelmed by the intensity. “It’s not black or white, it’s so complicated,” she said.
There was once a glimmer of hope, the couple briefly called off the divorce last July. But Kroy refiled just weeks later, asking for sole custody and alimony. And though Kim claims they were still sleeping together months after, that too wasn’t enough to fix things.
As the legal back-and-forth drags on, Kim seems done staying quiet.
