Kim Zolciak’s daughter Brielle Biermann has been sued by American Express over a $12,870.25 credit card balance the company says she’s been delinquent in paying.
The credit card company said in legal docs that the 26-year-old daughter of the Bravo star has not paid minimum balances on her Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card, TMZ reported Tuesday.
Biermann’s rep told TMZ that the reality star intends to settle her balance in full as of Wednesday.
The suit marks the latest financial hiccup for the family, as Biermann, her mother Zolciak, 45, and her adopted father Kroy Biermann, 37, have been hindered by legal advances over ongoing debts in recent month.
Zolciak sold off some of Brielle’s designer goods last month to drum up funds, with asking prices up to $20,000 for the high-ticket items.

Zolciak in late June was sued over an outstanding balance to Target of $2,482.24, TMZ reported, as the retailer said that she hadn’t paid anything toward her balance since September of 2022.
Target National Bank was pursuing the balance owed, in addition to interest, according to the outlet.
Biermann this summer also found himself entangled in legal proceedings over an alleged unpaid balance to a Caribbean casino gratis, TMZ reported in late June.
Sky Warrior, a parent company for the Bahamas-based Baha Mar Casino, named the former NFL defender in a $52,500 suit over a November 2021 trip in which the casino gave Biermann a $100,000 credit line.
The casino said that in the incident, Biermann used $52,500 for gambling purposes, and told the casino he would settle up after he was done. The casino said that Biermann took the money in chip markers and left the establishment without settling his tab.
Sky Warrior told the court that efforts to garnish the balance from Biermann’s bank account have not been successful.
Gambling appears to factor into the family’s ongoing financial problems, as Biermann in May – during a time when he and Zolciak had temporarily parted – called Zolciak a ‘compulsive behavior addict’ who had squandered an astounding $1.5 million dollars of the family finances gambling.
A day before he filed for a split from the Bravo star, the Atlanta Falcons alum made the allegations against the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star after she called police May 4 at their Milton, Georgia mansion.

The accusations about Kim’s gambling losses were seen in a Milton Police Department bodycam video after officers responded to the home after Kim reported a domestic dispute.
The footage was obtained by RadarOnline.com after Biermann and Zolciak filed for divorce from one another amid a 12-year marriage. They have since called off their divorce.
Biermann – who was cautious as he spoke to law enforcement in hopes Zolciak would not hear him- called the Bravo personality a ‘narcissist to the extreme level.’
Biermann said that Zolciak’s penchant for gambling had grown exponentially in recent years.
‘It’s probably been going on for pretty much our entire marriage and it’s gotten significantly worse,’ Biermann said of Zolciak, who was pictured at a Bitcoin ATM in June in Atlanta. ‘In the last two years, she’s gambled away $700,000 – just in the last two-and-a-half years.’
He added: ‘The total in the marriage was about $1.5 million dollars – and she does it online.’
In the incident, Zolciak told police that Biermann had locked in a safe a cache of valuable items she owned that were worth $175,000 – including designer purses and jewelry – and hid the key from her.
Biermann said he believed the lot of items fell under the classification of community property, adding of the items: ‘The problem is these are the assets, there are no [other] assets to go to.’
Biermann told police that the Don’t Be Tardy alum ‘has decimated everything’ with her penchant for gambling; he added that some of her gaming activity was illegal.

Kim’s predilection for online and casino gaming had caused a rift in the 12-year union
Zolciak and Biermann’s four kids – Kroy Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kane and Kaia, nine – were at home at the time of the altercation. (Biermann had adopted Zolciak’s older children from previous relationships – Brielle, 26, and Ariana Biermann, 21 – when they were minors in the couple’s earlier years.)
In their two months of being split – in which both asked the court for sole legal and physical custody of their four younger children – Zolciak and Biermann took issue with one another in court documents.
Zolciak said that Biermann smokes marijuana, calling into credibility his ability to raise their kids; while Biermann claimed that Zolciak’s gambling habit has consumed her time and decimated the family finances.
Biermann told officers they had continued to sleep in the same bed but did not engage with one another.
News broke last month that the reality TV pair had decided not to split, withdrawing their divorce papers in Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia. Biermann and Zolciak have been ‘getting along and [are] calling off the divorce’ and remain ‘trying to make it work for the kids,’ an insider told People.
