Kroy Biermann Claims Kim Zolciaks Gambling Caused Financial Troubles
Earlier this month, the news broke that Kroy Biermann and Kim Zolciak were divorcing after 12 years of marriage amid a variety of financial problems. Now, Kroy is sharing his side of the story, and he says that Kim’s gambling problem put a strain on their relationship.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Kroy has requested that his estranged wife be ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Kroy claims that Kim has exhibited “troubling behavior” leading up to the divorce. He says that Kim has a “compulsion” with online gambling games that’s financially ruined their family.
The publication adds that Kroy believes Kim’s addiction is exacerbated by “underlying mental health issues like depression, anxiety, narcissistic personality disorder, bipolar disorder or ADHD.”
He went so far as to claim that Kim’s gambling problem is interfering with her ability to care for their four minor children.
Kim has also made a variety of allegations against Kroy. Last week, she requested that the court order her estranged husband to undergo a drug test. She expressed concern that his cannabis usage impacts his ability to care for their kids.
Kim originally filed for divorce at the end of April, describing their marriage as “irretrievably broken.” Though she’s seeking primary physical custody of their minor kids, Kim requested joint legal custody as well as spousal support.
However, they may not be a lot of money to around. The former couple’s financial problems have been highly publicized. Earlier this month, it was reported the pair owe $1 million in back due taxes to the IRS. Moreover, their Georgia mansion recently went into foreclosure after they defaulted on a loan they took out in 2012.
Kim denied the foreclosure for months on social media, until the bank took possession and put the estate up for auction earlier this month.
"There's no cheating on either side. The money has a lot to do with the split, but there were other factors," a source told PEOPLE of Kim and Kroy’s split. "He's been managing [the family] for a long time, so he technically did have a job. They're not on good terms right now."
Kroy and Kim married on 2011 and their relationship has been followed on a number of reality shows, including their own series Don’t Be Tardy. They share four minor kids 9-year-old twins Kaia and Kane, 10-year-old son Kash, and 11-year-old Kroy Jr. Kroy also adopted Kim’s older daughters –Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 21 – from previous relationships. The former couple’s divorce remains ongoing.
