Kim Zolciak finally addressed spending her daughters’ money, one month after Ariana Biermann called her out.
On Thursday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Andy Cohen asked the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum about her 23-year-old child’s claim that Zolciak “took [her] money.”
Zolciak, 47, admitted, “The rug was pulled out from the Zolciaks. Ariana’s money was spent on bills, to be honest. I was left holding the bag for the family. I was left with nothing, so I had to figure it out fast.”
She claimed, “The money I borrowed from Ariana, I paid her back … for the bills and stuff.”
However, Zolciak explained that she has yet to compensate the “Next Gen NYC” star for “what she made” from Instagram brand deals “and all that stuff.”
Ariana, who watched straight-faced from the audience with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy, said in her show’s premiere last month that she doesn’t “even know how much money [she] made” because “nobody was honest [and] there was no transparency.”
“I can’t say exactly what they used it on, because I just found out that it was gone two years ago,” she told viewers in June. “I have no idea where it actually went.”
During a “WWHL” appearance later that same month, Ariana clarified that both Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were to blame.
“Everybody wants this to be just my mother,” she said. “This was a joint partnership in taking the money.”
On Thursday, Zolciak promised that while she “doesn’t have the spreadsheets,” Ariana “will be” reimbursed.
Laughing, she added, “I’m not a spreadsheet girl. Don’t know how to do it, unfortunately.”
Cohen, 57, asked the “Don’t Be Tardy” alum whether she also borrowed money from daughter Brielle Biermann, and Zolciak gave an affirmative.
“Brielle paid an electric bill here and there,” she confirmed of the 28-year-old. “I have to be so careful, guys.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Zolciak opened up about her split from Kroy, 39, and said their divorce is “still in process.”
She also gushed about the “great” guy she’s dating.
“I sat in the house and just worked and tried to take care of everything for 20 months, and then I finally met somebody,” Zolciak said.
