The former star of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' faces backlash for posting a fake death announcement about her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, while promoting a clickbait giveaway.

AceShowbiz - Kim Zolciak has elicited strong reactions from fans on social media after sharing a black and white photo of her and Kroy Biermann with the caption "RIP." The post, which was linked to an outdated and irrelevant article, has been met with criticism for its insensitivity and alleged cash-grabbing motives.
Followers who clicked on the link were led to an article about celebrities who had passed away in 2023, sparking outrage among fans who believed Zolciak was announcing Kroy's death. One user branded the move "pathetic," while another begged for Bravo to rehire Zolciak.
Zolciak's youngest daughter, Ariana, expressed secondhand embarrassment and concerned fans on TikTok. The post comes after Zolciak promoted a giveaway on Instagram, inviting followers to enter for a chance to win $1,000 in Chanel or cash.
Financial woes have been speculated for Zolciak, as her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kroy, has alleged in a court filing that she spent over $600,000 at luxury stores and invested heavily in Bitcoin and the lottery since 2016. Zolciak has requested privacy in financial matters, but Kroy's filing challenges this, highlighting her social media updates that include procedures such as vaginal rejuvenation and Botox injections.
Despite the rumors, Kroy is not dead. The fake death post is believed to be part of a clickbait scheme, with Zolciak allegedly receiving a financial kickback from the article linked in her bio. Fans have denounced her actions and speculate that she has resorted to desperate measures to generate income.
