Kim Zolciak Sued Over Unpaid Target Credit Card Bill During Divorce
Kim Zolciak-Biermann is being sued for her unpaid Target credit card bill.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 45, has a balance of $2,482.24, but reportedly hasn’t made a payment since September 2022. Target National Bank filed a complaint on Wednesday, June 28 alleging that Zolciak-Biermann “failed, neglected and refused” to pay off the principal balance, according to documents obtained by Page six.
The legal action comes between Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Bierman‘s messy breakup, which was sparked by financial problems, a source told exclusively Us weekly in May.
“The financial burden has strained their relationship,” the source said of the Bravo star and former NFL player, 37, who were married for 11 years. “Between the tax debt and other financial stress, things have been tough. The tax debt was the straw that broke the camel’s back in their marriage.”
Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann met in 2010 before getting married in 2011. The estranged couple share four children: sons Kroy “KJ” Jr., 11, and Kash, 10, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9. After their marriage, the athlete also adopted his wife’s two daughters from previous relationships: Brielle , 26, and Ariana, 21. Biermann has requested ownership of the estate and sole custody of their minor children during their breakup.
Zolciak-Biermann’s unpaid Target bill is the latest in a slew of headlines about their debts. Hours before their divorce filing made headlines, TMZ reported that Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann owe more than $1.1 million in unpaid taxes.
Earlier this year, Us confirmed that the couple’s residence in Alpharetta, Georgia, is being seized. The property was purchased in 2012 for $880,000. After the duo defaulted on their mortgage payments in August 2022, Trust Bank began foreclosure proceedings. An auction of the property was scheduled for March, but was later canceled, with no word on whether it will go ahead at a later date.
In court documents obtained by Us in late May, Biermann claimed that the Zolciak-Biermann has a gambling problem. “[Kim is] spending substantial time and marriage money on gambling and other games of chance” and “this coercion has financially devastated the parties,” he claimed.
The athlete claimed that “[her] time is so consumed with online gambling” that she cannot take good care of their children. He attached checks and bank statements worth thousands of dollars allegedly showing evidence of the “Wig” singer’s gambling. She completed a parenting course in the wake of his allegations.
His allegations were made after Zolciak-Biermann requested that her estranged husband take a drug test. In court documents obtained by Usshe claimed that she “smoked” Biermann “marijuana” and stated that she had “serious concerns for the safety and well-being of the minor children” while in his care.
“It’s really sad that Kroy is allowing our divorce to be in the media like this because it could have major long-term consequences for our children,” Zolciak-Biermann’s attorney said in a statement on June 13. spreading lies in an attempt to portray Kim as an unfit mother for his own gain is damaging and incredibly misleading regarding Kim’s efforts to raise her children.
Biermann has since asked the court to appoint family lawyer Diane Woods as Guardian ad Litem for the couple’s four minor children “so she can begin her investigation immediately.”
