Former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Husband Kroy Allegedly Involved in Cellphone Dispute, Police Called Amidst Home Foreclosure

Former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann have been involved in another domestic incident, this time over a cellphone. According to multiple sources, including TMZ and Daily Mail, Kim called the cops on Kroy back in late April for allegedly taking her phone and refusing to return it. The incident took place at their home, which is currently facing foreclosure.

In one report from TMZ, Kim told dispatchers that Kroy had been screaming all day and going through her personal things. She also accused him of violating a court order that required each to stay in separate sides of the house. In another report from Daily Mail, Kim expressed frustration over the lack of privacy in her home and feeling violated by Kroy's actions.

Body cam footage obtained by TMZ shows officers arriving at the scene and speaking with both parties. Kim told officers that she was unable to retrieve her phone from Kroy, who refused to come out of his bedroom or show where the phone could be located. No physical altercation occurred during the incident.

This is not the first time that Kim and Kroy have had a domestic disturbance. In January 2024, Kim accused Kroy of stealing her personal items in an attempt to sell them, an allegation that was denied by his lawyer. Another incident occurred in November 2023, also caught on body cam.

Kim and Kroy first met back in May 2010 during a filming event for the Real Housewives of Atlanta. They wed in November 2011 and welcomed four children together: KJ Jagger Jr., Kash, and twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren. Kroy also legally adopted Kim's two older daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana.

The couple filed for divorce in May 2023 but called it off in July after reportedly trying to make things work for the sake of their children. However, Kroy filed for divorce again in August 2023.

Despite the ongoing drama, Kim and Kroy are facing serious financial issues on top of their marital woes. They are currently scheduled to appear in court over the foreclosure of their home.

        Kim Zolciak calls cops on ex Kroy Biermann AGAIN as she accuses him of taking her cellphone and...

        Daily Mail Sonia Horon, Thursday, 30 May 2024 02:23
        • Unique Points
          • Kim accused Kroy of going through her personal things and screaming all day.
          • In another incident, Kroy was heard accusing Kim of being a ‘narcissist’ and ‘f***ing other men’ during an explosive fight that led to a 911 call.
        • Accuracy
          • Kim accused Kroy of taking her cellphone and refusing to give it back.
          • No physical altercation occurred and Kim could not provide a copy of the court order.
          • Police arrived at the scene but were unable to resolve the issue as no physical altercation occurred and Kim could not provide a copy of the court order.
          • Kim previously accused Kroy of taking her cellphone and locking himself in the master bedroom. In one instance, he refused to give the phones back and Kim slept in a separate room for privacy.
        • Deception (30%)
          The article contains multiple instances of sensationalism and emotional manipulation. The title itself is sensational and misleading, implying that there was a physical altercation between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann when in fact no such altercation occurred. The author also uses emotional language to describe the situation, such as 'screaming all day', 'yelling all day', 'losing his mind all day', and 'feeling violated'. These descriptions are intended to elicit an emotional response from the reader and create a sense of drama.
          • Kim told officers she could not go and get her phone back from Kroy, and that he would not give it back.
          • He was heard denying that he had Kim’s phone, and said he didn’t know where it was.
          • She accused her spouse of taking her cellphone and locking himself in the master bedroom.
          • The incident took place in late April. Police were seen arriving to the pair’s house in a body cam video.
        • Fallacies (70%)
          The article contains multiple examples of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. The author quotes Kroy Biermann's aggressive behavior and language towards his estranged wife Kim Zolciak in a domestic dispute, which includes name-calling and accusations of infidelity. This inflames the situation and presents Biermann in a negative light. Additionally, the article references previous incidents between the couple that required police intervention, suggesting a pattern of conflict. The author also appeals to authority by citing court documents regarding the couple's use of their home and mentioning foreclosure warnings from their lender.
          • Kroy 's not coming out. He's not responding.'
          • In November cops showed up to the home after the pair had an explosive fight and one of their kids called 911.
          • The new arrangement comes almost six months after a judge ruled Kim to stay in the basement/nanny quarters of their home, while Kroy remains upstairs in the primary bedroom.
        • Bias (50%)
          The article does not demonstrate any clear bias towards a specific political, religious, ideological or monetary position. However, the author does use language that depicts one side as extreme or unreasonable by describing Kroy's behavior as 'screaming all day', 'yelling all day', and 'losing his mind all day'. The author also repeats Kim's accusation that Kroy has been going through her personal things, which could be seen as disproportionate in the number of quotations reflecting this position. Therefore, while there is no clear bias towards a specific position, the language used by the author does lean towards portraying Kroy in a negative light.
          • Screaming all day. Yelling all day. Losing his mind all day.
            • Taking my belongings.
