Fans have been outraged at reality star Kim Zolciak for a post where she implied her ex Kroy Biermann had died... and her daughter Ariana is furious too.
Zolciak, 45, who split from the ex-NFL player in 2023 after 11 years of marriage, shocked her 3.3 million followers on Tuesday when she shared a black-and-white throwback snap of her and Kroy, captioned #RIP #LinkInBio. The affiliate link went to an old and unrelated article.
Kim's 22-year-old daughter Ariana - whom Kroy adopted in 2013 along with Zolciak's eldest child Brielle, now 27 - took to TikTok to share her reaction.
'You guys, I about had a damn heart attack... when I went on my Instagram,' Ariana began in the video to her 308K followers.

'I physically don't have any f***ing words,' she said, still trying to process what her mother had done.
'What? Like, what?' she said, still flabbergasted, adding, 'The DMs I'm getting as well, like before I even saw the story.'
She did an impression of how shocked she was by seeing her mother's post, throwing herself back in her chair.
'What would you do in this situation?' she asked of her followers, before moving in very close to the camera.
Ariana added, 'secondhand embarrassment stays through the roof, um, let's see what's coming next week,' before seemingly addressing her mom Kim directly.
'I love you... but I just like...' she said, before slapping her heart with the palm of her hand, seemingly on the verge of tears, adding, 'my heart... like tugging... like NO... the f**K?!' she concluded.
Kim rose to fame as an inaugural member of Real Housewives of Atlanta, starring as a main cast member for the first five seasons.
She met Kroy - a former NFL player for the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills - during an Atlanta charity event in May 2010.

They tied the knot just a year later, having four children together, with Kroy filing to adopt Brielle and Ariana in 2013.
Then last May, Zolciak filed for divorce, though two months later in July, they had the divorce filing withdrawn.
However, just a month later in August, Kroy refiled for divorce from Zolciak, and in December the couple were ordered to meditation to resolve their many issues.
The latest in their divorce battle has found Kroy exposing some of her financial information that Kim has refused to disclose, claiming she spent over $600K on designer wares between 2016 and 2023.
