Hopefully, you weren’t tardy for Ariana Biermann‘s Watch What Happens Live debut, which aired Sunday (June 29) night — but if you were, we have you covered on every update she gave about her current financial situation with her parents Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann.
Ariana, who has quickly become a fan favorite in Next Gen NYC, revealed in the premiere episode that she began making money off of sponsored posts when she was 14. However, she realized a couple of years ago that her parents had completely drained her bank account without her knowledge.
During her visit to the Bravo Clubhouse, host Andy Cohen asked how Zolciak reacted to Ariana’s on-air confession.
“I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be just my mother. This was a joint partnership in taking the money,” she explained. “I gave my parents a notice that I’m gonna be telling my truth and my story and this is what’s happening.”
According to Ariana, she still doesn’t know what her parents spent her money on, nor does she want to know. The young influencer also refused to comment on Zolciak’s alleged gambling problem (Kroy accused Zolciak of financially devastating their family with her alleged gambling addiction in his divorce filing).
However, she did reveal why her mom asks her for financial help these days.
“The only time my mom asks me for money is if it’s regarding the bills or it’s something that she needs for the kids and she pays me back when she can,” Ariana clarified.
Still, Ariana isn’t going to let money get in the way of her close friendship with Zolciak.
“I think that nobody wants to be put in situations that they are put into, and my mom, no matter what, will be my best friend forever,” she said. “Money should never ruin a relationship with your family. You can always make more money. God blesses us in that way. And I have my mom and that’s all that matters.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
