Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana enjoys luxury vacation in Bahamas... after claiming mom 'took' her money
The nepo kid has been posting string bikini pinup photos while on the beach as she enjoys some fun away from her home state of Georgia.
The younger sister of Brielle Biermann looked to be having the time of her life as she was nicely made up with her long light brown hair worn down over her bare shoulders.
It appeared as if the 23-year-old influencer did not have a problem in the world.
But Ariana has recently complained about financial problems that were caused by her Real Housewives of Atlanta mother.
In late June The Next Gen NYC star gave some insight into the money she lent her mother Kim.
Ariana said it was used for mom's bad habits.
Ariana said during a visit to Watch What Happens Live: 'I'm going to be telling my truth and my story, and this is what's happening,' she said.
But it was not just her mom who took her cash.
'I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be just my mother. This was a joint partnership in taking the money,' Ariana said.
She added that she gave Kim, 47, and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann notice that she would be discussing the topic on Next Gen NYC.
Andy Cohen asked Ariana if she had 'figured out how much money' her parents spent.
'No, and I don't really want to know,' Ariana replied, explaining that '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.'
Later in the episode, Cohen asked Ariana what the biggest misconception about Kim and Kroy's relationship is.
'Well, for some reason right now everyone thinks they're getting back together,' she said. 'Which is absolutely insane.'
And she made it clear that Kim would pay her back when she gets back on her feet.
Earlier in June, Ariana dropped a bombshell on the premiere episode of her new reality show, Bravo's Next Gen NYC, claiming her mother and stepfather Kroy Biermann spent all of her hard-earned money.
The influencer revealed she started making significant income from brand deals and sponsored social media posts as early as age 14—but alleges her parents wiped it out.
'I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical [sic] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,' she said.
But Ariana has recently complained about financial problems that were caused by her Real Housewives of Atlanta mother
'But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.'
Since filing to end their nearly 12-year marriage in May 2023, Kim and Kroy have been embroiled in a nasty legal battle over their Georgia mansion, custody of their four minor children, and financial support—with Kroy previously accusing Kim of gambling away $1.5 million.
Now Ariana is adding fuel to the fire, saying she discovered her money was 'gone two years ago.'
'I don't even know how much money I made over the time period,' the reality star admitted. 'Nobody was honest, there was no transparency and I have no idea where it actually went.'
She added that she 'can't say exactly' what her parents spent it on.
Ariana also revealed that the ongoing family drama has taken a toll on her relationship with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy—particularly when her mom reaches out for financial help.
'Sometimes I don't tell Hudson when she's asking me for something because she' going through this crazy divorce and living with four kids,' she admitted in a confessional.
'I get it and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family,' she added.
Kim and Kroy met in 2010 and married in 2011.
Zolciak and Biermann have four children: Kroy Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and twins Kane and Kaia, 11.
Biermann adopted Zolciak's older children from previous relationships — Brielle, 28, and Ariana — when they were minors in the couple's earlier years.
Their relationship took a turn in 2023 with divorce filings and legal battles, with Kroy filing for divorce for a third time in February 2025

Morning Joe hosts' absence from show allegedly due to Trump merger
Morning Joe stars Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough's absence from their hit show this summer hints at a secret war with MSNBC bosses over Donald Trump and upcoming merger, it is claimed. More than one third of the episodes broadcast since Memorial Day have been missing one of the husband-and-wife hosts. Mediaite writer Colby Hall has multiple theories as to what is going on. He speculated that the power couple's absence may be icy cold revenge for MSNBC taking their show off the air in the wake of a July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Hall said the decision - taken to try and avoid a huge gaffe by the anti-MAGA pair after the president was almost killed - may have 'widened' an existing rift between them and MSNBC bossts. Brezezinski and Scarborough may also be exploiting their power to 'leverage their stature within the network,' Hall believes, while also conceding the three hour daily show is likely tiring. 'But it's hard to ignore the timing,' Hall added 'With MSNBC's realignment on the horizon and talent contracts under review, Joe and Mika's extended absences feel like a flex - a reminder that Morning Joe doesn't work without them,' Hall stated. MSNBC is currently preparing to split from NBCUniversal to become part of an entirely new company, Versant, made up of other Comcast channels. The piece also pointed out pair have been missing many shows despite the pace of political news coming out of Washington, DC . Of the 49 Morning Joe episodes that have aired since May 26, Brzezinski has been away for 26 while Scarborough has been absent for 18. 'Most of their peers, Rachel Maddow aside, still show up five days a week,' Mediaite reported. 'Joe and Mika may be relaxing poolside, and fair enough,' the report concludes. 'But their absence sends a message. The only question now is whether MSNBC is listening - and how they plan to respond.' Hall said the Morning Joe stand-ins have failed to deliver 'fire-and-ice dynamic' that their viewers enjoy. Moreover, 'their absence sends a message,' Hall wrote at a point. 'When stars act like they own the show, it's often because they do - and they know it,' he said. He added how 'it's hard to ignore the timing' of the two's absence given MSNBC currently being in the process of weighing contracts - and their worth - for MSNBC's realignment. Morning Joe was first broadcast in 2007 and quickly became a hit with MSNBC viewers. Brzezinski, a liberal, and conservative Scarborough became vocally anti-Trump during the president's first term in office.

Legendary 70s actress looks unrecognisable 47 years after playing iconic role – can you guess who?
AN iconic 70s actress has been spotted looking completely unrecognisable, 47 years after playing a celebrated role that has stood the test of time. The star, 74, was pictured in New York yesterday running errands while dressed in a pink polo shirt and white shorts, which could be considered an ode to her legendary character. 5 5 5 She got her big break in Hollywood back in 1978 in a musical romantic comedy film which ended up becoming the highest grossing musical film at the time. Four years later, she reprised her role for the stand-alone sequel and was the only character to return from the first film. That's right, it's Grease icon Didi Conn! She played Frenchy Facciano as part of the Pink Ladies in the movie and it's sequel. The film's soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, only behind 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever. It was nominated for several accolades including a nomination for Best Original Song at the Oscars and five nominations at the Golden Globe Awards. Not only that, but in 2020, Grease was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Didi previously spoke exclusively to The Sun about her experience of shooting the film and shared some behind the scenes insights. In one memorable scene of the movie, there's a dance contest where the cast go wild, dancing the Hand Jive and doing some rather dirty dancing. While it looked like it would have been fun to film, Didi revealed it was anything but fun. She expressed: 'That actually took a whole week of shooting. And what was really tough about it was that it was the height of summer - my birthday was that week, and the cake they got for me totally melted. 'We were in a real high school in downtown Los Angeles, with no air conditioning, and we had to keep the windows closed because right next door was a pork plant, so you can imagine the smell!' But it was Summer Nights, the opening number of Grease, that Didi remembered most fondly. She explained: 'I think that's where we all bonded, and it was so much fun to sing that song and jump all around the table. 'We'd been rehearsing it for weeks beforehand, so the energy was so high when we performed it for real.' Grease stars remembered IT has been over 45 years since the release of hit musical film Grease, which began its decades-long tenure of dazzling fans in 1978. Sadly, including Susan Buckner, five of the much-loved cast have passed away. On August 8, 2022 it was announced that Olivia Newton-John had passed away aged 73, following a 30 year battle with breast cancer. After falling ill with pneumonia, Jeff Conaway - Danny's best pal Kenickie in the movie - sadly passed away in 2011. The same year, Annette Charles, who played Cha Cha, lost her battle with cancer. In 1993, Dennis C. Stewart, who played rebel Leo, was diagnosed with HIV and passed away from AIDS in 1994. After Grease, Didi went on to star in comedy film Almost Summer, fantasy adventure film Thomas and the Magic Railroad and biographical film Frida, based on the life of Frida Kahlo. In 2019, she flew across the pond to make her debut on British tv screens on the eleventh series of Dancing on Ice. She was partnered with professional Łukasz Różycki and at the age of 67, was the oldest person to ever compete on the show. However, she was eliminated in the fourth week after the judges decided to save Saara Aalto and Hamish Gaman after following the skate-off. 5

Ex-ESPN host Trey Wingo rips into NFL quarterback Jayden Daniels' mom: 'Needs a hobby'
Ex-ESPN host Trey Wingo had some harsh words for Jayden Daniels' mom on Monday as she was spotted at Commanders training camp. Daniels' mother, Regina Jackson, is the passer's agent and business manager and is known to be protective of the former Heisman Trophy winner, as she previously indicated she didn't want her son to date. And after she briefly joined NFL Network's interview of her son from training camp, Wingo had a strong message for Daniels' mother. 'She needs a hobby,' Wingo wrote on X. Regina, who wore a t-shirt with her son's name on it, said she had not attended every day of training camp as Daniels described their relationship. 'She's always gon' be there to uplift me, but if I'm doing wrong, she gon' let me know,' he said. 'Even though I'm 24 years old, I'm still a grown man, but I still gotta listen to my mom at some point.' . @JayD__5 on how much his mom means to him ❤️ — NFL Network (@nflnetwork) August 2, 2025 Jackson became an NFL-certified agent last year and represents her son. However, she previously ruffled feathers with her comments in the Prime Video documentary 'The Money Game,' when she discussed her fear of women 'hooking' her son. 'Some girl's got a Jayden Daniels wall, and her mom says, 'You'll get him.' Someone's trying to hook him, but thank god he's got a mama like me - because it ain't happening.' She later walked back that stance on 'The Pivot' podcast. 'I'm putting it on record. My son can date, he can live freely, make his own decisions,' she said. 'However, with the relationship we have, he does value my opinion because when my kids were little, I did a lot for them and my kids saw that.' Jackson, though, also added that her son 'doesn't know the business world.' 'He doesn't know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I'm also his mom.' Off the field, Jackson is often spotted with her son at public outings, as they attended the ESPYs together last year, and a Fanatics Super Bowl party together in February. She was even seen next to him as he danced at Brandon Aiyuk's wedding in April. Daniels had a stellar debut season last year as he won Offensive Rookie of the Year and led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game. His sophomore season will begin against the Giants on September 7.
