Kroy Biermann Using Bankruptcy To Escape Paying Bills and Made His Lawyer Watch Kim Zolciak On ‘The Surreal Life’ Amid Divorce Battle!
Kroy Biermann is reportedly considering bankruptcy while his bitter divorce from Kim Zolciak heats up — and in a shocking twist, he had his attorney watch Kim’s The Surreal Life appearance to strategize his next legal move.
Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak’s estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, is facing mounting legal and financial challenges amid their bitter divorce proceedings.
According to court documents obtained exclusively by In Touch, Kroy has already spent over $2,000 for his attorney to watch Kim’s appearance on the reality show The Surreal Life while navigating the complexities of his ongoing divorce and the possibility of filing for bankruptcy.
$2,000 Spent to Watch Kim’s Reality TV Appearance
Court filings reveal that Kroy’s divorce lawyer, Ryan Proctor, sent Kroy a hefty invoice totaling $18,100 for work related to the divorce case. In a detailed breakdown, Proctor noted that over $2,000 of that total was spent on watching Kim Zolciak’s *Surreal Life* appearance and assessing how her comments could affect Kroy’s legal strategy.
The invoice, dated October 17, shows that Kroy owed Proctor’s firm a staggering $79,000. Among the charges, Proctor outlined several hours of research and consultation regarding potential bankruptcy filings, reflecting Kroy’s growing financial concerns.
Divorce and Bankruptcy: A Financial Strain
As the court battle between Kroy and Kim drags on, Kroy has been grappling with the reality of his finances. In late August, Kroy’s attorney billed him for over three hours of work dedicated to exploring his bankruptcy options. In September, Proctor continued to consult Kroy on the potential pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy, with several lengthy calls discussing the strategy.
On September 10, Proctor had a call with Kroy to evaluate “bankruptcy strategy,” followed by multiple discussions in the following days. By September 26, the lawyer had even billed Kroy for watching The Surreal Life to note any relevant mentions of their divorce or comments that could be used against him in the ongoing legal battle.
Kim Zolciak’s Reality TV Return
Kim Zolciak, 46, made headlines in August when she joined the cast of The Surreal Life, where she lived in a mansion with other celebrities. During her time on the show, Kim formed a bond with her co-star, actor Chet Hanks, as the two spent time together in Colombia. The show aired while Kroy continued to deal with his mounting legal and financial pressures at home.
In the episodes, Kim’s personal life and divorce were central topics, leading Kroy’s attorney to focus on her remarks. Kim spoke openly about her relationship with Kroy, but sources claim her statements on the show were less than flattering towards her estranged husband.
The Divorce Drama: Custody Battles and Financial Woes
The ongoing divorce between Kim and Kroy has been marred by a slew of accusations and financial turmoil. The couple, who married in 2011 and share four children together, have been in and out of court since they first split in May 2023. They are currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle, each demanding primary custody of their kids.
Kim and Kroy also face public allegations, with Kim accusing Kroy of marijuana use and Kroy claiming Kim has a gambling addiction. Both have vehemently denied the accusations, but the accusations are just the tip of the iceberg.
In addition to their ongoing divorce proceedings, the couple has been hit with significant financial difficulties. In 2023, the IRS slapped them with a $1 million tax lien, and they’ve been facing multiple lawsuits over outstanding debts.
Struggling to Sell Georgia Mansion
One of the most pressing issues for Kim and Kroy is the fate of their lavish Georgia mansion, which has been on the market for months. The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom, 15,694-square-foot property is still unsold, despite multiple price reductions. To prevent foreclosure, Kim and Kroy filed a lawsuit seeking additional time to secure a buyer. In an emotional declaration, Kim explained the urgency of the situation.
“We strongly believe that the proceeds from its sale can help alleviate our financial difficulties and secure a stable future for our children,” Kim stated in her filing. “However, the impending threat of foreclosure is looming over us, and time is of the essence.”
She continued, “Kroy and I will face insurmountable financial hardships, and the most devastating consequence will be the impact on our children, who would be left homeless.” The court case continues to unfold as the couple fights to protect their home and their family’s future.
The Future of Kim and Kroy’s Divorce
As Kim and Kroy’s legal battle drags on, both face uncertain financial futures. While Kroy looks to explore bankruptcy options to alleviate his mounting debts, Kim remains focused on securing their home and her children’s well-being. The couple’s divorce saga continues to unfold, with many wondering what will happen next as the legal proceedings intensify.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about the ongoing case and the potential fallout for Kim and Kroy’s future.
