Kim Zolciak pushed back against reports that she was barred from seeing her and Kroy Biermann’s children until she completed mandated therapy. The reality star used Instagram to contest the narrative and to explain the timeline she says the court order lays out.
Her Instagram account: what she says really happened
In a series of Instagram Stories on Friday, Zolciak insisted she has not been stripped of parental rights. She said she signed a temporary custody order in late January that outlines joint counseling for both parents.

- The order, she wrote, requires two counseling sessions monthly for two months, then one session monthly.
- Zolciak said she was working overseas from Feb. 26 to March 28 on two TV projects and had no free days to attend sessions during that stretch.
- She noted that her counseling appointments are now scheduled and will be completed the following week.
“I have not lost custody of my children,” she emphasized, reiterating that no permanent change was made to the custody arrangement beyond the temporary terms she signed.
What the court records reported by TMZ say
TMZ published court documents that appeared to limit Zolciak’s parenting time until she completed four required parent-therapy sessions. According to that reporting, Biermann would have custody of the four minor children through the specified period.
The filings reportedly set the earliest possible date for Zolciak to resume normal parenting time as April 13. Zolciak countered that the children are in Biermann’s care for his designated spring-break time and that she expects to have them back on Friday.
Biermann’s custody request and the allegations against Zolciak
Biermann has asked a judge to move from joint custody toward sole custody. His filings include several serious claims about her parenting.
- Accusations of failing to provide regular parental supervision.
- Allegations of emotional and psychological harm to the children.
- Claims of “fraud and deceit” related to the prior joint custody agreement.
- An incident report saying a child was bitten by a dog while in her care on March 9.
He also alleged she used her parenting time sparingly between Feb. 26 and March 29. Biermann has pursued custody changes before; court history shows earlier attempts to alter the arrangement.
How Zolciak responded to the accusations
Zolciak pushed back publicly and in a statement to Page Six. She called the claims untrue and a deliberate attempt to damage her reputation.
- She said her time abroad was work-related and meant to provide for the family.
- She denied the neglect accusations and vowed to fight false narratives.
- On Instagram she reposted the TMZ article and wrote that she would not tolerate what she called lies.
“I refuse to be bullied,” she wrote, adding that she believes the truth will emerge despite attempts to smear her.
Legal and personal timeline: divorce, filings, and property issues
The couple’s legal battle has unfolded over several years. Key events include:
- May 2023: They filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.
- August 2023: Biermann refiled; the pair briefly reconciled before separating again.
- 2025: Biermann filed for sole custody in August, citing concerns about the children’s wellbeing.
- April 2025: US Marshals removed them from a foreclosed Georgia mansion where they had been living.
Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two older daughters from a prior relationship, and the couple share four younger children together: Kroy Jr., Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane.
What happens next in the custody dispute
Court proceedings will determine whether the temporary order stands, is modified, or is replaced. Both sides have signaled they will continue to press their versions of events in filings and public statements.
Until the court issues further rulings, the parents remain under the temporary terms they agreed to in January, including the counseling requirement for each parent.
