Kroy Biermann’s lawyer has a theory about Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s legal strategy amid the duo’s messy divorce proceedings.

“My guess is that Kim’s grand plan is to file for bankruptcy,” Marlys A. Bergstrom exclusively told Us Weekly of the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum on Friday, September 15.

The attorney explained that if Zolciak-Biermann, 45, were to file for bankruptcy, “A stay would be put on the foreclosure [of Kim and Kroy’s shared home in Alpharetta, Georgia] and again, the parties would be forced to live together, enveloped by all that toxicity for God knows how long.”

Bergstrom added that Biermann’s legal team would “file an objection” to such a request as “it is very likely that Kroy and Kim will come out with almost nothing” if their house is forced into foreclosure. Us Weekly has reached out to Zolciak-Biermann for comment.

Already getting messy. Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann shocked Bravo fans and stars alike with their May 2023 split. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that the former NFL player filed for divorce after more than a decade of marriage. The now-estranged couple tied the knot in 2011. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and […]

Biermann, 38, filed a request for a court to order the sale of his and Zolciak-Biermann’s home in late August. The documents stated that the property was initially going to be auctioned in March after the pair faced foreclosure proceedings the previous month. However, they were able to “avoid foreclosure” and canceled the auction.

The threat of foreclosure isn’t the only financial problem plaguing the estranged twosome. Last month, a debt collection company sued Zolciak-Biermann for $156,080.64, which includes interest accrued since she allegedly stopped making payments on the HSBC/SAKS credit card. The card has since been restricted and cannot be used. (Us reached out to Zolciak-Biermann for comment at the time.)

When Biermann filed for divorce for the first time in May — the duo briefly called off their split in July before the athlete filed divorce paperwork again in August — a source exclusively told Us that their relationship problems stemmed from “financial issues.” (That same month, TMZ reported that the pair owed more than $1.1 million in unpaid taxes.)

A match made in Georgia! Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her husband, Kroy Biermann, were together for more than a decade prior to when she filed for divorce in May 2023 and later dismissed the request. When Bravo fans first met the “House of Kim” podcast host in season 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, she […]

The insider continued: “The financial burdens have been a strain on their relationship. Between the tax debt and other financial stresses, it’s been difficult. The tax debt was the straw that broke the camel’s back in their marriage.”

In addition to their money troubles, Biermann and Zolciak-Biermann have butted heads over the care of their minor children: KJ, 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, 9. (The NFL alum also adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s daughters from previous relationships, Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 21, after they tied the knot in 2011.)

In court documents filed on Thursday, September 14, Biermann claimed that Zolciak-Biermann has spent “little time at home” with their children and expressed safety concerns, alleging that Zolciak-Biermann “frequently takes videos of herself” while driving with their children.

Published

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars have expensive taste — and a hunger for drama — and with Us Weekly’s help fans can also channel their inner Housewife.

In this week’s “VIP Scene,” Us Weekly is breaking down the RHOC cast’s go-to hot spots while staying local. First up: The Quiet Woman!

The Corona Del Mar, California, eatery is one of the most-frequented restaurants in the show’s history. In addition to being “classically cool since 1965,” The Quiet Woman was the infamous location for Shannon Beador and Kelly Dodd’s blowout fight on season 12.

“F—k you. Read between these lines you f—king bitch,” Shannon, 59, screamed at Kelly, 48, during the heated exchange. “Get the f—k out of here.”

The awkward encounter resulted in all the Housewives leaving the upscale location in shame — but that hasn’t stopped Shannon from dining there now.

“As far as restaurants go, of course we’re going to say The Quiet Woman,” Shannon exclusively told Us in September when asked about her “favorite” local food stop.

Gina Kirschenheiter picked San Juan Capistrano’s Five Vines Wine Bar — located not far from the famous Mission San Juan Capistrano — as her top restaurant in the area.

“I love Five Vines. That is my total jam. It’s also mine and Travis [Mullen]‘s date spot,” Gina, 39, exclusively revealed to Us. “This is a good plug too because it’s a wine bar and I am sober, but it’s so much more than a wine bar.”

If you’d rather be shopping than chowing down in Orange County, Vicki, 61, told Us that Alice + Olivia at Newport’s Fashion Island is a must.

“We shop at the same stores,” Vicki explained, referring to her and Shannon. The women noted that Neiman Marcus is also one of their go-to spots.

Sharna Burgess is opening up about experiencing mom guilt.

The former Dancing with the Stars pro, 38, took to social media on Tuesday, October 3, to candidly share her feelings about leaving her son while heading off for a tropical getaway. Posting a picture via her Instagram Story of her suitcase at the airport, she added text overlay that read: “New emotional experience unlocked.”

“I’m headed to Cabo for a girls trip that has been over a year in the making,” she wrote. “The timing sucks.”

Burgess shares son Zane, 2, with fiancé Brian Austin Green. She noted that while her toddler is “already on the mend from “HF&M,” the “mom guilt for leaving is unreal.”

Brian Austin Green’s brood! The actor is expecting his first child with Sharna Burgess after previously welcoming children with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox. Us Weekly confirmed the Dancing With the Stars pro’s pregnancy news in February 2022. The reveal came one year after the pair debuted their relationship. Despite the Aussie’s close bond […]

“I was going to back out but Bri so beautifully reminded me that I need and deserve these few days,” she said. “I’m so lucky I have a man that supports and sees me AND that I fully trust in knowing the house kids and life all keep flowing as normal even if I’m away.”

She concluded: “Everyone is ok. I’m ok…ish. And this will be fun.”

Burgess was first spotted with the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50, in December 2020. The pair went on to dance together on Dancing with the Stars season 30, which Burgess called a “disadvantage” when speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in 2021, noting they have a “sensitivity when minding each other’s feelings.”

The pair welcomed their first child together — and Green’s fifth — in June 2022. In September, Burgess revealed the twosome were engaged after three years of dating. (Green shares son Kassius, 21, with ex Vanessa Marcil, and sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 7 with ex-wife Megan Fox.)

While Burgess and Green are headed toward forever now, children have always been at the forefront of the professional dancer’s mind. In September, she shared exclusively with Us that it would have been a deal breaker with Green if he didn’t want to expand his brood.

“When it came to the kid conversation, I said early on to Bri if he was even interested in having more kids, because he has such a full beautiful group of kids,” she said. “I knew that I could really fall in love with him, and I had to stop right now if that wasn’t going to be on the cards.”

Burgess continued: “We did have that conversation early in our dating history, and he did say that he was open to it, so I knew that it could be forever. … I never prepared for it not to work.”

Joy Behar remembered her former The View cohost Barbara Walters by cracking an awkward — and NSFW — joke.

Behar, 80, poked fun at the late broadcaster’s signature smile on the daytime talk show’s Tuesday, October 3, episode. After Behar brought up Walters during an interview with Geri Halliwell, the Spice Girls singer recalled a lesson she learned from the anchor.

“[Barbara] said I have a camera smile that she uses. And I always still use this piece of advice. She says — you know sometimes how you feel a bit stiff? … You look into the camera, you go, “[Sigh],” and you get the right kind of smile. That’s the Barbara smile,” Halliwell, 51, told her cohosts.

Behar backed up Halliwell’s comments, adding, “Every time [Barbara] took a photograph, it was like, “[Sigh].” Noting that a person’s mouth has to be “slightly open” in order to nail the smile, Behar went on to joke, “Well, those are from her porn days.”

Paying their respects. The View brought together former and current cohosts to celebrate the life of Barbara Walters. “People have been talking about her on all of the shows, but we knew her better than anyone. We had dinners with her, we hung out with her and we fooled around with her,” Joy Behar shared […]

Sparking a shocked reaction from the show’s audience, Behar clarified, “No, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. They know it’s a joke.”

Cohost Sara Haines proceeded to change the topic by stating, “OK, now let’s move on.”

Despite the NSFW joke, Behar has shared several kind words about Walters following her death at the age of 93 in December 2022. “Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones,” Walters’ rep, Cindi Berger, confirmed to Us Weekly at the time. “She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women.”

A television icon. Barbara Walters spent six decades as a hard-hitting journalist — interviewing everyone from controversial political leaders to some of the world’s most high-profile stars — prior to her retirement in 2014. Walters kicked off her career in the 1960s on the Today show, where she went from working behind the scenes as […]

The View honored Walters with a special tribute episode the following month, during which Behar called her former colleague “the original role model” for female broadcasters.

“People have been talking about her on all of the shows, but we knew her better than anyone. We had dinners with her, we hung out with her and we fooled around with her,” she said during the show’s January 3 episode. “The thing about her is she very much defied sexism and she defied ageism. She was not just a friend to us; she was one of a kind and very important to the industry.”

Behar and Walters were both part of The View’s original 1997 cast, in addition to Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos. Behar briefly left the series in 2013 before returning two years later, a decision she claimed was not made on her own accord.

“I’ve been on this show for 26 years, right?” she said during a May episode of the series. “With a small hiatus as we all know — forced.” At the time of her 2013 exit, it was reported that Behar left of her own volition, after which she revealed she was actually let go by the network.

That same year, Behar claimed that Walters once tried to get her fired from The View after she leaked news that Rosie O’Donnell would be joining the cast. She recalled a phone call she received from Walters on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in 2013, who allegedly told her, “’Hello, Joy? It’s Barbara. And I just want you to know I’m not renewing your contract.’”

Although she apologized, Behar claimed Walters put her foot down, saying, “’It was a big mistake! I’m not renewing your contract!’”
