Kim Zolciak-Biermann is known for many things as an OG peachholder, including her signature blonde wigs, her relationship with a man known only as “Big Poppa,” and her music career that featured the one-hit wonder “Tardy For The Party.” But it turns out that peach didn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to her daughter, Ariana Biermann.
“I”m really excited having my own things come to fruition,” Ariana told her mom on Episode 6 of Next Gen NYC, as she updated Kim on developing her own fashion line. But there was just one problem: Ariana’s pronunciation of "fruition."
“I pronounced it floor-ition for a very long time, and nobody corrected me,” Ariana admitted to her boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, and her mother. "Dumbass."
That prompted Kim to recall her own spelling mishap made famous on the debut season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta: “Well, just like when I was spelling ‘cat’ K-A-T, like, I’m not an idiot.”
Throwback RHOA moment: Kim Zolciak-Bierman misspelling "cat"
On RHOA Season 1, Episode 5, Kim met with a record producer and Shereé Whitfield to discuss trying to break into the music business. She had just recently met with a woman named Miss Jan, who told her that even if she's not “knowledgable on music,” she could still learn the ropes.
“She’s like, ‘When you were born? What’s 2 + 2, Kim?’ I said, ‘4,’” Kim told the table. “‘How do you spell cat?’ I said, ‘K-A-T.’ She’s like, ‘Did you know that when you were 2?’”
Despite misspelling the word “cat,” Kim continued on with her story, and didn’t miss a beat.
Shereé, however, visibly startled when the letter “K” was mentioned, and even had one of the earliest moments of breaking the fourth wall on Bravo when she glanced at the cameras and producers to see if they also clocked the spelling error.
Suffice to say, the entire moment instantly became iconic.
