“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kim Zolciak was seen stepping out in Georgia as her son’s complex legal battle escalated.
The reality star, 48, was pictured stepping out for shopping in Alpharetta, GA on Friday, wearing a fitted black tank top and relaxed jeans.
She accessorized with a necklace, sunglasses, and a pair of pointed-to heels, and carried a white cell phone and her keys during the outing. At one point, she was seen putting away a shopping cart.
She wore her blond hair in waves around her shoulders and parted it down the middle and remained expressionless.
The sighting comes after Zolciak’s son, 15-year-old KJ Biermann, suffered a legal blowin his sodomy and sexual battery case.
Biermann’s motion to close the courtroom was denied by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Melynee Leftridge, who according to documents obtained by Page Six, stated that “the high legal standard for permitting a closed courtroom was not met by Defendant.”
The court granted the teen’s motion to limit photography and media recording, and allowed for protections over his juvenile court records, ordering that to keep them from the public, they “shall be filed under seal.”
The judge denied the “Don’t Be Tardy” personality’s request to keep prosecutors from exposing limited information from his juvenile case that could affect the court’s consideration of his bond.
Page Six confirmed on Friday that prosecutors filed an emergency motion asking the court to order forensic interviews of “minor children” for the case.
KJ — whom Zolciak shares with estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 41 — was arrested in August and indicted on seven charges, including three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, false imprisonment and aggravated sexual battery.
A female classmate alleged the Bravo personality sexually assaulted her at the Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia on April 23.
The classmate alleged he made “multiple” attempts to have “sexual intercourse with her by trying to pull down her pants” in a co-ed sauna at the facility — despite her telling him “no” — according to court documents.
The then-15-year-old alleged victim also claimed to investigators that KJ digitally penetrated her vagina and forced oral sex.
Jason Sheffield, KJ’s attorney, denied wrongdoing on behalf of client, insisting to Page Six in a statement that he is “100% innocent.”
Zolciak, meanwhile, vigorously hit back at what she called the “reckless and deeply troubling” allegations in a statement of her own.
“He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct,” Zolciak said in part.
The TV personality’s “RHOA” colleague NeNe Leakes claimed in a recent interview that Zolciak is “not OK” amid his continued legal woes.
Zolciak — who appeared as a series regular in the Bravo hit from 2008 to 2012 — supported her son at a bond hearing on Sept. 11.
Kroy was also present, and sat separately from his estranged wife during the proceedings. KJ was ultimately granted a $200,000 bond, though he must adhere to strict conditions, including electronic monitoring, a ban on cell phone use, and he must surrender his passport.
KJ is also ordered to attend school virtually from his mother’s Georgia home, and cannot contact the alleged victim in any way — or be in contact with anyone under the age of 16.
Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that videos of KJ having sex with an underage family member in April 2023 were previously found on his cellphone, and claimed that since October 2025, he’d been under court supervision due to the alleged separate incident.
On Thursday, Page Six exclusive reported that Zolciak and her estranged husband had confiscated the teen’s cell phone a year prior to investigators discovering the videos.
It’s unclear if the footage was connected to the alleged incident.
Zolciak also shares kids Kash, Kaia, and Kane with Kroy, who also adopted her daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana.
