Kim Zolciak Allegedly Punched Kroy Biermann Day Before He Filed for Divorce
Before Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's divorce got ugly, things allegedly got physical. In a police report obtained by ET Tuesday, the former NFL player claimed Zolciak punched him in the head one day before he filed for divorce.
According to the police report, dated May 4, officers from the Milton Police Department responded to the Georgia home after the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star reported a domestic dispute. It's alleged in the report that Zolciak told cops Biermann locked her designer purses, jewelry and passport in a safe and then hid the key from her.
Zolciak went on to claim that the items -- allegedly worth a whopping $175,000 -- were premarital assets. Biermann had a different story, claiming to police that the items were marital property, with the objective of liquidating the assets to help pay down bills.
Eventually, the report states, Biermann led cops down to the basement and opened the safe, but there were no purses. Zolciak's passport was in a Louis Vuitton case, which was then handed to police. What's more, the police report says Biermann told cops that the former couple got into an argument over the items in question, which he claimed led to her punching him in the back of the head. Per the report, Biermann declined to press charges even though he produced a recording of the alleged altercation.
ET has reached out to Biermann for comment.
Following the release of the report Tuesday, Zolciak released a statement via her attorney, David Beaudry, with ET, in which she slammed Biermann's attempt to paint as a bad mother.
"It’s really sad the way Kroy is causing our divorce to play out in the media like this because it could have a profound effect on our children in the long run," Zolciak stated.
"To continuously spread lies in an attempt to paint Kim as an unfit mother for his own gain is harmful and incredibly misleading regarding Kim’s efforts to raise her children. Kim has remained quiet through the divorce process thus far for the sake of the children, but with this most recent filing, she has no choice but to speak up," Beaudry stated. "Kim has always been an extremely devoted mother to her children; they are her entire world and she is always there to love and support them every step of the way. She refuses to allow Kroy to paint her as something she is not for his own gain. Kim looks forward to the day we can appear in court and solve these issues once and for all."
It's the latest development in what's become a messy divorce between the former couple after 11 years of marriage. Following the divorce filing, Zolciak requested that Biermann undergo drug testing. According to docs, obtained by ET, Zolciak claims she's seen Biermann "smoking marijuana" and has "serious concerns" for the safety and well-being of their children -- Kroy, 11, Kash, 10, and twins, Kaia and Kane, 9.
Zolciak is requesting drug testing at Biermann's expense, including a five-panel hair follicle drug screening. She is also asking that the former Atlanta Falcons player not cut or remove any of his hair until the screening is completed.
Meanwhile, Biermann has accused Zolciak of having a "very troubling" gambling problem that persisted over the course of their marriage and it allegedly accelerated in the months leading up to their divorce. He claimed she was so consumed with online gambling, that she is unable to properly care for their children. His court filing included a joint bank account statement from the month of April, which showed there was over $127,000 in deposits at the beginning of the month, and by the end, was only left with $760.
A status hearing for their divorce has been set for July 11.
