Ariana Biermann is now adding clarification to comments she made about how her parents “took” her money, which she opened up about during Next Gen NYC Season 1, Episode 1.
Ariana appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on June 29, where she admitted that her mom, Kim Zolciak, and dad, Kroy Biermann — who are currently going through a divorce — were given a heads up about the comments.
“I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be my mother; this was a joint partnership in taking the money,” she explained, as seen in the video above. “I gave my parents, though, a notice that this was — I’m gonna be telling the truth, my truth, my story, and this is what’s happening.”

During her appearance on WWHL, Ariana admitted that she hasn’t let money get in the way of having a relationship with her mom. “I think that nobody wants to be put in situations that they are put into, and my mom, no matter what, will be my best friend forever,” she said.
“Money should never ruin a relationship with your family,” she added. “You can make more money, and God blesses us in that way and I have my mom, and that’s all that matters.”

But, she admitted that her relationship with her dad, who legally adopted her and her older sister, Brielle Biermann, in 2013, is just a little more up and down. “It goes in waves,” she told WWHL host, Andy Cohen, during the episode. “It depends on what motion he’s filing throughout this insane divorce this week.”
“He will always be my dad, no matter what, I think that it’s a tough situation right now, because I think a lot of these things are just coming from anger, and nothing else,” she added.

During the Next Gen NYC premiere, Ariana revealed, during a confessional, that she has not seen any of the money that she made as a teen through brand deals. “I was doing like, three posts a week. You can get paid astronomical [amounts] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,” she said.
“Unfortunately, my parents took my money. I can’t say exactly what they used it for, because I just found out it was gone two years ago,” she added. “I don’t even know how much money I made over that time period. Nobody was honest.”
