NeNe Leakes warns Kim Zolciak could snap over son’s charges

**NeNe Leakes Says Kim Zolciak Is “Not OK” Amid Her Son’s Legal Troubles**

NeNe Leakes shared on “The Big Tigger Morning Show” that she reached out to fellow *Real Housewives of Atlanta* alum Kim Zolciak last week to see how she was coping with her son’s legal woes.

Leakes, 58, said she “just hit her up, wanted to know how she was doing … and made sure she was OK with what her son is dealing with.” She added that Zolciak is “not OK” amid the tough time.

Zolciak’s son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., was arrested on August 21 on charges of aggravated sexual battery and sodomy. The arrest followed an April incident in which a female classmate accused him of sexually assaulting her in a co‑ed sauna at a Life Time fitness center in Alpharetta, Georgia.

### Background & Context

Leakes returned to the *Real Housewives* franchise last month for a cameo in the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th” special, after departing the series in 2020. During her time on *RHOA*, Leakes and Zolciak feuded publicly.

In April 2022 Leakes filed a lawsuit against Bravo and executive producer Andy Cohen, alleging they encouraged a workplace environment where Zolciak made racially offensive comments toward her and other housewives. Court documents show Leakes dismissed the case “without prejudice” in August 2022.

Zolciak’s son faced a cascade of legal developments after his arrest. A grand jury indictment in Georgia on September 3 added seven felony counts: aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, false imprisonment, and three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16.

Investigators also found videos on KJ’s cell phone that allegedly showed him having sex with an underage relative.

On Friday at Fulton County Superior Court, Zolciak was seen standing in the courtroom for her son’s bond hearing. An eyewitness reported she remained “stone‑faced” throughout the proceedings while seated next to her 29‑year‑old daughter Brielle.

KJ was granted a $200,000 bond and ordered to abstain from social media, avoid any cell phone use while staying at Zolciak’s house, and attend school virtually.

### What People Are Saying

Leakes told the morning show that she “just hit her up, wanted to know how she was doing … and made sure she was OK with what her son is dealing with.” She added, “I know that’s a tough time, and I know she’s not OK.” Zolciak responded to the allegations against KJ by stating, “He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” as provided to Page Six by her representative.

During the bond hearing, Zolciak’s demeanor was reported as stone‑faced, with no visible reaction to the proceedings. The court records confirm KJ’s restrictions and bond amount, but no further public commentary was noted from either party at that time.

### What Happens Next

KJ Biermann faces a pending criminal trial on the seven felony charges listed in the indictment. The court will set future dates for pre‑trial hearings and possible plea negotiations. Meanwhile, Zolciak’s presence at court suggests she will continue to support her son through the legal process.

The situation remains in flux, with court documents and statements from involved parties indicating that legal proceedings will proceed as scheduled while both mothers continue to navigate the personal and public fallout from their son’s alleged conduct.
