Ariana Biermann made shocking claims against Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann on Tuesday night’s premiere episode of Next Gen NYC.

Opening up about Kim, 47, and Kroy, 39, in a confessional and in a conversation with her boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, Ariana, 23, revealed that her parents took the money she made as an influencer, lied to her about their money troubles, and more, as Hudson admitted to being frustrated by her ongoing financial support to Kim.

“I have been on TV since I was five years old. I did reality television with my family, and then I started posting on Instagram. I got my first brand deal when I was 14. I was doing like three posts a week, and you get paid astronomical to do a Story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money. But, unfortunately, my parents took my money,” Ariana shared in a confessional on the June 3 episode.

Meanwhile, as she sat at lunch with Hudson, she pointed out that Kim had posted a Story in which she was seen drinking a $200 bottle of wine.

“She almost brags to us that she’s like, ‘Oh yeah. I’m drinking the same bottle of wine right now.’ We’re like, ‘Why are you doing that?’” he replied.

According to Ariana, she doesn’t know “exactly” how her money was used because she didn’t realize it was gone until two years ago.

“I don’t even know how much money I made over the time period. Nobody was honest, there was no transparency, and I have no idea where it actually went,” she explained in her confessional.

Continuing on to Hudson, Ariana expressed frustration with Kim and Kroy’s lies about their finances.

“I wish I would’ve been kept in the light about it because I feel like I was grown enough to know the truth. To know, ‘There is nothing left. Our house is about to be gone.’ Instead of the lying … Because the lying is why I moved out,” she revealed. 

Then, in a confessional with Hudson, Ariana shared that money has been a tense topic for the two of them.

“The thing that we do honestly struggle with sometimes is when my mom does call and ask me for money now,” Ariana stated. 

“That’s where I get upset,” Hudson agreed as Ariana was seen on a FaceTime call, telling Kim she can “pay [her] back whenever.”

“You have to tell her, like, ‘No, I can’t send you money this month. You’ve already taken everything I have,’” Hudson told Ariana back in the scene.

But Ariana wasn’t ready to cut Kim off and resorted to secrecy.

“Sometimes I don’t tell Hudson when she’s asking me to send her something because she’s going through this crazy divorce and a mother to four kids. I get it, and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family, ever,” she reasoned in her solo confessional. 

“You’re still taking the money that you’re making right now and giving it to her,” Hudson complained during their lunch date. 

“At the same time, though, it’s like, what do you expect me to do? If the A/C’s not working, I’ll pay the A/C bill,” Ariana clapped back. 

Still, Hudson was concerned about how Kim was actually spending the funds given to her by his girlfriend.

“Are you sure it’s money for the kids? How do you exactly know where that money is that you’re Zelle-ing to her? It’s pure cash. She can do whatever she wants with it,” he pointed out. 

He then insisted that the matter was both of their business “because of the position that they’ve put [Ariana] in.”

“It is our business,” Hudson concluded, adding that he wished Ariana would say “no” at least “sometimes.”
