Kim Zolciak, Kroy Biermann's Divorce: Bravo Stars React

Some Bravo stars have shared their feelings on Kroy Biermann‘s decision to file for divorce from his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, after 11 years as a married couple.

News broke in May 2023 that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum had filed for divorce, noting that their relationship was “irretrievably broken,” in court documents obtained by Life & Style. Their date of separation was cited as April 30, 2023, and the court docs revealed that Kroy sought “the temporary and permanent sole legal and sole physical custody” of the four minor kids they share together, KJ, Kash, Kaia and Kane. Their eldest daughters, Brielle and Ariana, are of legal age.

Prior to the divorce news, TMZ reported that the former couple owed $1.1 million — from the years 2013, 2017 and 2018 — of unpaid taxes, interest and penalties to the IRS. The outlet also reported that they owe $15,000 to the state of Georgia for unpaid taxes from 2018.

This comes months after In Touch confirmed in October 2022 that Kim and Kroy were facing foreclosure on their Alpharetta, Georgia, house after failing to pay back a $300,000 on the property. In March 2023, In Touch confirmed that the property was going to be sold at auction “to the highest bidder for cash” with the Fulton County courthouse and Truist Bank overseeing the sale. However, in February of that same year, Entertainment Tonight reported that the property had been taken off auction with no further explanation as to why.

While the Don’t Be Tardy star and the former linebacker stayed quiet about the foreclosure news, a source told In Touch that Kim was “heartbroken” after losing her house.

“She’s a bragger at heart so this is super embarrassing for her,” the insider added in February 2023, noting that she had been “in denial” or “expecting a miracle” when it came to getting their home back.

“The saddest part is that Kim really loves her home,” the source also shared at the time. “She’s raised kids there, so she’s heartbroken more than anything.”

Amid the divorce and unpaid taxes news, some fellow Bravo stars have taken to social media and reacted — and not everyone shared words of encouragement. Scroll through the gallery to see which reality stars have reacted to the Kim and Kroy news.

Andy Cohen

During the May 9 episode of Andy Cohen Live, the Bravo patriarch reacted to the shocking split news.

“I was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get. They seemed so much in love and just together,” he said, before turning his attention to the estranged couple’s ongoing money issues. “Sorry to hear that there may be some financial issues. TMZ is reporting that they owe a million dollars to the IRS. Texted a little bit with Kim yesterday, sent my condolences because it’s a sad thing. They have kids and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love.”

Lala Kent

“I just saw the news about Kroy Biermann and Kim getting divorced. And I have to say, [it’s] so devastating, right?” the Vanderpump Rules told fans via Instagram Stories in May 2023. “Never like to see that, especially kids being involved makes me sad.”

Lala went on to compare their breakup to her own life, revealing that she wants “no partner” in the near future.

“I can control me. I can’t control other people, right?” she added. “When you tell me, ‘Here’s an intimate partner, you guys get along, maybe you’ll last forever, maybe they’ll tell you everything all the time.’ That says to me, ‘Liability.’ I don’t like liabilities.”

Bethenny Frankel

The Real Housewives of New York alum threw some major shade at the couple when discussing their split in a May 2023 TikTok video. She claimed that Kim and Kroy have “always been people who seem like they’re spending more than they have.”

Bethenny added, “He’s on a football salary, she’s on a Housewives salary, and they’re spending like the f–king plane is going down. And the thing is, you can’t spend more than you make. It’s the old Housewives model to get on the show, make no money — spend, spend, logo, logo, car, car, house, house, bankruptcy, foreclosure — because you can’t f–king keep up your writing checks you can’t cash. And it’s gross.”

Marlo Hampton

RHOA star Marlo Hampton weighed in on Kim and Kroy’s breakup appearing on the May 22 episode of Watch What Happens Live.

“It’s awful to hear the news of them getting a divorce. I was super surprised,” Marlo said about her former costar’s split. “The only thing I could say there … a whole bunch of prayers are needed and a CPA is needed. That’s it.”
