Kim Zolciak fessed up to stealing her daughter Ariana Biermann's money on Thursday — and her daughter watched her admission from the front row of the audience.
The 47-year-old former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star claimed to using all of her daughter's modeling income from her teen years to host Andy Cohen, but she insisted that she only used it to pay bills out of desperation amid her home foreclosure drama and her ugly divorce from her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 39.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kim revealed that she had moved on with a new man after splitting from the former NFL star, though she kept his identity a secret.
While speaking of turning to her children for financial supporting, Kim claimed that 'the rug was pulled out from the Zolciaks.'
'I was left holding the bag for the family, and yeah. . . ' she said on a defensive note.
Zolciak also confirmed that it wasn't just 23-year-old Ariana's money that went to paying for necessities, as her daughter Brielle, 28, also pitched in money 'for the bills and stuff,' though it sounded as if she at least had the option to consent o giving up her money.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kim revealed that she had moved on with a new man after splitting from estranged husband Kroy Biermann (pictured on police body cam footage)Ariana previously claimed on her reality series Next Gen NYC that her mother and stepfather didn't tell her that they had used all of the money she had earned from modeling gigs and influencer jobs.
However, Zolciak appeared to have worked things out with her daughter, as Ariana didn't look overly angry with her mother during the segment, and she beamed widely when Zolciak and Cohen talked about more upbeat topics.
The Don't Be Tardy star added that she had already repaid Ariana's money that had gone toward bills, and she suggested that she had 'spreadsheets' of what her daughter had made over the years to balance further down the road.
But Cohen didn't buy that Zolciak had done full due diligence on her debts to her second-oldest daughter.
'I don't imagine you have any spreadsheets,' he said to laughter from the audience.
'I don't have — I don't even know how to do it!' Zolciak admitted.
She was more animated during her appearance when the reality star admitted she was seeing a new man after splitting from Biermann.
'He’s just great. You know, I sat in the house and just worked and tried to take care of everything for 20 months, and then I finally met somebody great,' she said warmly.

Kim also gushed about a new mystery man in her life, and she admitted that she wished she and her estranged husband Kroy communicated more about the four children they share
She didn't reveal her new man's identity, but she did say that a mutual friend had introduced them.
Zolciak also indicated that things were tense with her estranged husband, though the pressure seemed to have gone down a bit after she had moved out of their mansion outside of Atlanta into her own home.
'I would definitely prefer to communicate more regarding the children, but it’s just not there right now,' she said somberly.
The exes share four minor children: Kroy 'KJ' Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and fraternal twins Kane and Kaia, 11.
Zolciak's adult daughters, Brielle and Ariana, both come from previous relationships.
