Kim Zolciak is facing fresh backlash after promoting an online casino — despite ongoing claims that her gambling habit helped tank her family's finances.
The 47-year-old former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann have been embroiled in ongoing legal and financial chaos, shocking fans when they each filed for divorce in May 2023 after nearly 12 years of marriage.
Since then, the pair have been locked in a messy dispute over their Georgia mansion, custody of their four minor children, child support, and alimony.
Amid 9-1-1 calls and fiery claims from both sides, the former NFL linebacker told police in 2023 that Kim was a 'compulsive behavior addict' who had blown a staggering $1.5 million on gambling.
But this week, Kim appeared to shrug off the drama, posting an Instagram video promoting the online casino Stake.

Kim Zolciak is facing fresh backlash after promoting an online casino — despite ongoing claims that her gambling habit helped tank her family's finances
Her estranged husband Kroy Biermann told police Kim was a 'compulsive behavior addict' who had blown a staggering $1.5 million on gambling
'One of my favorite things to do when I have some free time is to play on Stake,' she captioned the clip.
Now, fans say Kim’s casino promo is just the latest sign she’s not owning up to her mistakes.
Many see it as her flaunting the same behavior that wrecked her marriage and finances in the first place, as critics didn’t hold back in the comments.
'Isn’t this the issue that caused the split? #gottaproblemdontcare,' one user asked.
Kim clapped back, replying, '@lauriesg absolutely not.'
But the backlash kept coming: 'Omg your gambling. You’ve learned nothing,' one wrote.
Another added, 'Ain’t u already gamble away your fam’s $?' while someone else chimed in, 'Promoting gambling when you have literally lost everything. Get it together, girl.'
The accusations about Kim's gambling losses were seen in a 2023 Milton Police Department bodycam video after officers responded to the home after Kim reported a domestic dispute.

Biermann said that Zolciak's penchant for gambling had grown exponentially in recent years. They were pictured in Atlanta in October of 2022
Kroy told police that Kim had 'gambled away $700,000 - just in the last two-and-a-half years'
The footage was obtained by RadarOnline.com , about two months after Biermann and Zolciak filed for divorce from one another.
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. '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.
Zolciak and Biermann's four kids - Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kane and Kaia, 10- 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.)
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
Kim and Kroy's trips to the casino were documented on her Bravo series Don't Be Tardy
Kim's predilection for online and casino gaming had caused a rift in the 12-year union
In documents filed at the time, 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.
In February, the exes sold their Georgia home for $2.5 million, after originally attempting to sell it for $6 million.
They bought the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom property in 2012 for $880,000.
In March, Kim confirmed she's dating again just days after breaking down in tears over finally being 'free of' Kroy.
While she didn't reveal the identity of her suitor, Zolciak — who was previously linked to Tom Hanks' son Chet — dished that he's 'age-appropriate' and 'definitely not' a Hollywood type.
