Kim Zolciak scolded by judge for skipping divorce hearing: This session was a ‘waste’

She was more than tardy for the party.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were set to face each other at a divorce hearing on Wednesday. However, when the former “Real Housewives of Atalanta” star failed to show up, the judge was none too pleased.

According to “Entertainment Tonight,” when Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shermela J. Williams noticed everyone was present except for Zolciak, she asked her lawyer, David Beaudry, to explain her absence.

Beaudry said Zolciak couldn’t make it to the hearing, which was held on Zoom, because she was on a flight back from Colombia after filming MTV’s “The Surreal Life.”

Beaudry tried apologizing for Zolciak’s absence, but the judge appeared “irritated.”

Williams reminded Beaudry that Zolciak’s “presence was not waived for today, so she is supposed to be here.”

“I did not waive her presence,” she continued.

After a brief pause, the judge went on to reschedule the hearing for Sept. 29, while calling today’s a “waste.” She noted that all parties involved would have to appear in person moving forward.

This is just one of the many of the latest developments in Zolciak and Biermann’s ongoing divorce saga.

Earlier this week, Zolciak requested to have their divorce dismissed. She doesn’t think their marriage is “broken” because they’re still having sex.

Earlier this week, the 45-year-old reality TV star requested to have their divorce dismissed. She explained that she disagrees that their marriage is “irretrievably broken” because they’re still having sex with each other.

Biermann quickly fired back with a response, saying sexual relations do not “nullify” his petition.

The ex-linebacker, 38, acknowledged that he and his estranged wife have, in fact, been having sex. However, he maintained in his new court documents, which Page Six obtained, that he has “no desire to reconcile.”

Biermann also wants permission to sell the family’s $3 million Georgia home, as it faces foreclosure on Nov. 7.

The court documents went on to say, “The fact that he engaged in sexual relations with [Zolciak] does not indicate a desire to reconcile. [He] remains steadfast in his desire to divorce.”

Biermann also wants to sell the family’s $3 million Georgia home, as it’s facing foreclosure on Nov. 7, but he claimed Zolciak has no desire to leave the estate.

“She has stated that she prefers to file for bankruptcy; a move that will ensure that the parties and their children will remain under the same roof for a significant period of time,” the documents state.

Biermann is hoping to sell the house, take half of the profit and buy his own residence.

Biermann wants to sell the house as soon as possible so he can take half of the profit they get and buy his own residence. He said he wants to take their four minor children “out of the toxic environment” in which they’re currently living.

Biermann, who’s fighting for sole custody of their four minors — Kroy Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and 9-year-old twins Kaia and Kane — filed for divorce for the second time on Aug. 24.

They both initially filed in May but called off their divorce proceedings after reconciling. He’s now once again pushing forward with ending their 11-year marriage, during which he legally adopted Zolciak’s daughters from a previous relationship: Brielle, 26, and Ariana, 21.
