Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak recently lost custody of her four minor children and then accused her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, of child abuse. Now, as the bitter divorce wages on, their daughter, Ariana Biermann, whom the NFL alum adopted in 2013, is defending her mother.
The 24-year-old Bravo star’s comments come ahead of the second season of her show, “Next Gen NYC.” Notably, the first season of the series included Biermann revealing that she’d helped support her family during financial hardship without being repaid.

Biermann spoke to Us Weekly in June 2026 to promote the upcoming season of “Next Gen NYC.” However, during the conversation, she was asked about the ongoing drama between her mother and her adoptive father. Notably, the two have been working toward a divorce since 2023.
Regarding whether she’s been in contact with the former Atlanta Falcons player, she stated, “I tried, you know, for a while. I really wish him the best in healing during this time, but I have not really spoken to him unless it’s asking him if I can see my siblings or something like that.”

As mentioned, Zolciak temporarily lost primary physical custody of the minor children in May 2026. In defending her mother and her love for her children, Biermann said in the interview that the “RHOA” alum would fight “literally [to] her very last breath, she is not going to ever back down” regarding custody.
She added, “That’s why it’s been a freaking three-year process, or whatever we’re at now, and who knows what the road ahead, how much longer it’s going to be, totally.”
Biermann, who recently went through a breakup of her own with her “Next Gen NYC” costar Hudson McLeroy, also gave an update on her life amid the split. For context, they broke up in October 2025 after meeting in high school.
According to her, “I learned so much about myself, things I did wrong in the relationship that I didn’t see, and just kind of like things I would have never learned had I not gone through that and been by myself. I feel like it’s a crucial part of being like 24 and being alone and experiencing that part of your life.”
‘RHOA’ Fans Want The Best For All Involved Parties

In addition to Biermann’s most recent comments about her mother and father, social media has been reacting to the ongoing divorce for years, with “RHOA” fans hopeful that there’s an end in sight.
One person on social media said, “I feel so bad for all of the kids, but especially Ariana and Brielle, who probably have to pitch in more than we know.” Someone else said, “How much longer is this divorce going to last? It’s been more than three years.”

A different person chimed in, “I hope the kids are in therapy because they’ve been through a lot since this divorce started and probably even before.”

The “Next Gen NYC” star interviewed with PEOPLE in June 2025 while attending the premiere of the then-new Bravo series. When asked where she stood with her father at the time, she said, “It goes through waves a little bit.”
The reality star continued, “The divorce has been very difficult and very messy, and my mom is my best friend, and it’s really hard to watch. A lot of these things go on, but I try to keep it separate, so we go in waves.” Biermann then added that she and her father were “going to talk soon.”
Regarding how her dad feels about “Next Gen NYC,” she shared, “He hasn’t said anything about it since it came out or anything. But you have to sign a release for these things in order to talk about things, and he was willing to do that for me and was okay with me sharing my story and the things that have gone on over the last couple of years, and he’s been supportive in that.”

After her comments about having supported the family went viral, Biermann offered a clarification on what she meant during the June 29 episode of “Watch What Happens Live.” Specifically, the “Next Gen NYC” star made it known that her mother wasn’t the only family member asking for money from her brand deals.
She stated, “I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be my mother; this was a joint partnership in taking the money.”

Biermann added, “I gave my parents, though, a notice that this was — I’m gonna be telling the truth, my truth, my story, and this is what’s happening.”
Season two of “Next Gen NYC” premieres on June 24.
Marvel Studios isn’t playing it safe with the long-awaited X-Men reboot.
Recent comments from writer Lee Sung Jin suggest that Marvel is aiming for a fresh start, one that won’t be tied down by the previous X-Men films and will instead embrace bold ideas and a new creative direction.
While discussing the project, Lee revealed that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is encouraging the team to think bigger than what has come before.
“Truthfully, it’s same parameters on this project, which is so exciting. I’d say there were actually more parameters on Thunderbolts because it was plugging into an existing arc and existing characters, whereas with X-Men, Kevin [Feige]just wants to take a big swing and start anew, not be beholden to any of the movies that have come before.”

That approach appears to fit perfectly with director Jake Schreier’s vision for the film. According to Lee, Schreier wants to focus on what made the classic X-Men comics resonate with fans in the first place.
“And Jake Schreier has such a clear vision in terms of wanting to get back to character first, and to what is exciting about those early Chris Claremont-run comics, which was all about team dynamics. There were a lot of soapy elements to those comics.”
The upcoming reboot is expected to serve as a true fresh start for Marvel’s mutants. Rather than recreating the Fox era, the studio appears focused on introducing a new generation of heroes while placing a stronger emphasis on character relationships and team chemistry.
Lee also spoke about how exciting it has been to help shape this new version of the franchise.

“I’m such a big fan of that IP of the comics. My dad and I, every Saturday morning, used to watch the show on television, so to be able to look around this Marvel conference room and have every X-Men character on the board and be able to spitball and freestyle on, ‘What about this person?’ it’s so emboldening, because you’re like, ‘Oh, wow, this isn’t going to be a safe movie. This is actually going to be a really exciting new take.’”
Before the reboot arrives, fans are expected to see familiar mutant faces return in Avengers: Doomsday, helping bridge Marvel’s past with its future. But when the MCU’s X-Men finally assemble, it sounds like audiences should expect something completely different.
If Lee Sung Jin’s comments are any indication, Marvel isn’t interested in playing it safe. The studio is taking a major creative swing, and that could make the MCU’s X-Men one of the franchise’s most exciting new chapters yet.
Milania Giudice Breaks Silence Following Domestic Violence Arrest
Milania Giudice is speaking out after news of her recent arrest made headlines.
The 20-year-old daughter of The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was arrested on May 14 and charged with simple assault following an alleged domestic violence incident, according to court records and law enforcement officials.
A police source said that Teresa and Joe Giudice’s third daughter was taken into custody by the Montville Township Police Department at approximately 6:12 p.m. local time. According to court documents, Milania was charged with “simple assault” and “purposely/knowingly causing bodily injury.” Authorities later confirmed the charge stemmed from a domestic violence investigation.

“The investigation resulted in Milania Giudice being charged on a summons complaint with one count of Simple Assault, in violation of a Disorderly Persons Offense,” Montville Township Chief of Police Andrew Caggiano said in a statement.
The statement continued: “The investigation resulted in Milania Giudice being charged on a summons complaint with one count of Simple Assault, in violation of a Disorderly Persons Offense.” Milania was released pending her next court appearance. Court officials have classified the matter as a domestic violence case, though additional details about the alleged incident have not been publicly disclosed.
Following reports of her arrest, Milania appeared to address the attention surrounding the case through a series of cryptic social media posts. While she did not directly reference the allegations, she shared messages praising her mother and encouraging followers to remain “humble.”
The arrest comes during what should have been a celebratory time for the University of Tampa student, who recently completed her sophomore year of college.

It also arrives as The Real Housewives of New Jersey prepares to return for Season 15 after a nearly two-year hiatus. Despite earlier speculation about major cast shakeups, Teresa Giudice and her daughters are expected to return to the Bravo franchise.
Milania has spent much of her life in the public eye after first appearing on RHONJ as a child.
Over the years, she and her sisters — Gia, Gabriella and Audriana — have navigated highly publicized family challenges, including both parents serving prison sentences and Joe Giudice’s subsequent deportation to Italy. Milania was scheduled to appear in court on May 19. According to reports, no plea was entered at that hearing.

West Wilson Exits Summer House After Controversial Romance With Amanda Batula!
West Wilson’s time in the Hamptons has reportedly come to an end.
The 31-year-old reality star will not return for Season 11 of Summer House, following a controversial season that centered largely around his romance with Amanda Batula and the fallout it created within the cast.
The news comes less than a week after the dramatic Season 10 reunion concluded, where Wilson found himself under intense scrutiny from ex-girlfriend Ciara Miller over his relationship with Amanda, who was once one of Ciara’s closest friends.

While Bravo has yet to announce the official Season 11 cast, production is expected to begin in the coming weeks, making casting decisions imminent. Amanda and West officially confirmed their romance in March, revealing that their longtime friendship had unexpectedly evolved into something more.
“What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” the pair said in a joint statement at the time. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.” Behind the scenes, however, sources claim Wilson’s future on the show had already become uncertain.
“It was a mutual decision between the network and West,” a source told Us Weekly. “He was already feeling like his time on the show was coming to an end.” The insider added that after the reunion aired, “It became even clearer that there wasn’t a long-term fit anymore.”
According to the source, Wilson has accepted the outcome and is focused on other opportunities.

“He is at peace with the decision and is focusing on his podcast and other business ventures.””There’s a tear in the friend group,” the source alleged. “The cast doesn’t want to film with him.” As for Amanda and West’s future together, sources say the couple remains committed despite ongoing criticism and lingering tension within the cast.
“It’s not all butterflies and rainbows,” one insider said, noting that the reunion placed significant pressure on the relationship. Still, the source added, “Both of them feel they are in too deep for them to break up at this point.”
During the reunion, Ciara did not hold back when discussing the couple.
“Maybe they’ll be together,” the Traitors alum said. “Because I honestly think the best woman for West is someone who’s not going to check him on anything, and that’s totally Amanda. She’s very mute, she’s gonna be that weak figure that he needs and he can always be the star in the relationship.”

“So,” she added, “I actually think maybe it could work.”
Ciara also admitted she never expected to find herself upset over Amanda’s relationship with her former boyfriend.
“I couldn’t fathom that I would be sitting here pissed that you’re f—ing my ex,” she quipped. “He wants to embarrass me. He wants to get his last little words in. And I hope it works, because he’s with you to spite me.”
As the criticism mounted, WestWilson revealed he had taken beta blockers before filming the reunion in an effort to manage his anxiety.

“I’m trying to stay composed as much as possible,” he told host Andy Cohen. Ciara quickly fired back, saying, “Or you’re just a sociopath.” After confirming he had taken prescription medication, Wilson explained, “I don’t know if that’s why I’m not sobbing in this moment. This matters to me. I apologize if I don’t read emotional enough.”
The future of Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller filming together also remains uncertain, as it is still unclear whether the former friends will be able to move past the fallout and continue sharing the screen next season.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO shocked fans after reports emerged that the country star had filed for divorce following a decade-long marriage.
The split comes after years of public ups and downs, including addiction battles, infidelity, and efforts to expand their family.
While the couple appeared to have weathered countless storms together, insiders now claim growing tensions surrounding Jelly Roll’s evolving public image, religious beliefs, and Bunnie’s outspoken persona may have ultimately pushed the relationship to its breaking point.
MEGA
For many fans, the idea of Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO separating seemed almost impossible. The pair often spoke openly about their journey together, portraying themselves as partners who had weathered every storm life threw their way.
Their relationship story became part of Jelly Roll’s appeal as his music career exploded and he transformed from a struggling artist into a Grammy-winning star.

That image took a dramatic hit on Monday when court documents revealed he had filed for divorce from Bunnie in Tennessee. The news reportedly blindsided many people around them.
“You couldn’t tell he was going through something. If the divorce was on his mind, you’d never have known,” one source told the Daily Mail.
The timing surprised fans even more because the singer had recently spoken lovingly about his wife, crediting her with helping him turn his life around.
Just months ago, he said he “would have ended up dead or in jail” without her support. Behind the scenes, however, insiders claim the marriage had been facing challenges for some time.

Jelly Roll’s New Public Image Reportedly Created Friction
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Several insiders pointed to Jelly Roll’s evolving public identity as a possible source of tension.
In recent years, the 41-year-old has become increasingly vocal about his faith while continuing to distance himself from the addictions, legal troubles, and personal struggles that once defined much of his life.
After winning a Grammy for Best Contemporary Country Album earlier this year, he held up a Bible and declared, “Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label.”
According to sources, that transformation may have conflicted with Bunnie’s public persona. Although she retired from sex work in 2023, Bunnie continues to host her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, where she frequently discusses adult topics.
Her social media presence has also remained bold and unapologetic. Just hours before the divorce became public, she shared a photo of herself posing in a satin bralette and matching thong.

One insider claimed, “There is just such a conflict in what’s going on. He’s preaching this Christian way of life. She’s posing mostly naked and talking about p-rn and p-nises on her podcast.”
They added, “At every turn, she’s just kind of embarrassing him and wrecking every PR narrative that they’re trying to create. This is the talk of the town [in Nashville].”
Not everyone agrees with that assessment. Another source questioned whether Jelly Roll’s faith-centered image was entirely genuine, saying, “There’s so much money in [Christian music], but [his renewed faith] is just an act in my opinion.”
Jelly Roll And Bunnie Allegedly Clashed Over Growing Their Family

Beyond image concerns, sources say the couple also struggled to find common ground on expanding their family.
Bunnie previously revealed that she underwent IVF treatments after learning her fallopian tubes were blocked.

When those efforts proved unsuccessful, she and Jelly Roll explored surrogacy, but they were still unable to have a child together. According to one insider, the issue remained emotionally complicated.
“Both [she and Jelly Roll] wanted more children, but disagreements over timing and his increasingly demanding career have created ongoing tension,” they explained.
The source added that the Grammy award winner reportedly became hesitant about moving forward while other issues remained unresolved.
“Ultimately, he felt it wasn’t wise to move forward with having more kids when the stability of their relationship remained uncertain,” they stated.

Another insider described the marriage as intense but unpredictable, saying, “Their relationship has always been passionate but turbulent, with frequent almost-breakups followed by intense reconciliations.”
Jelly Roll And Bunnie XO Built Their Marriage On Shared Struggles

Part of what made their relationship so compelling was how similar their backgrounds were. Before fame, Jelly Roll spent years battling addiction and legal trouble.
He was arrested dozens of times and served time for robbery and drug-related offenses. He later became addicted to cocaine before finally getting sober in 2017.
Reflecting on that journey, he once admitted, “I had to learn that you could drink alcohol without doing cocaine.”
On the other hand, Bunnie had her own difficult path. In her memoir, she revealed that she worked as a “high class” escort, experimented with cocaine, Xanax, and crystal meth, and spent millions on drugs during her younger years.

The couple also faced personal challenges within their marriage. In 2018, just two years after they tied the knot, Jelly Roll had an affair with a former girlfriend. The betrayal temporarily ended the relationship before Bunnie chose to forgive him.
She later wrote that it would “take years for me to put the affair aside,” while Jelly Roll called it “one of the worst moments” of his life.
Jelly Roll And Bunnie XO Face Fresh Rumors Following Their Split

As news of the divorce spread, online speculation quickly followed. Some fans focused on a recent Instagram video showing the podcast host embracing Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger backstage at a concert.
The post included the caption, “The moment I finally got to be back in his arms.” She also added, “Swoon.” The comments immediately fueled rumors that Bunnie had already moved on from her marriage.
Insiders, however, strongly rejected those claims. One source insisted there is “quite literally zero truth” to suggestions that Bunnie and Kroeger are romantically involved.

Instead, another insider argued that if infidelity ever damaged the relationship, it happened years ago. “He was perhaps much more unfaithful than than he let on early in the relationship,” the source claimed about Jelly Roll.
As for why the marriage ultimately ended, one insider suggested the answer may be simpler than many people think. According to them, “You reach a day where you realize maybe I didn’t love this person. I loved the chase and the ability to hustle and grind together. But now everything has slowed down and they’ve had time to really see it.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier on Tuesday, June 16, Chris Brown shared a separate message about his upcoming tour. Specifically, he took to his Instagram Story to share the “clothing theme” as “JUST BE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT…”

Furthermore, Breezy’s earlier announcement also had fans cuttin’ up.
Looks like Jelly Roll is not holding back anymore since the cat is out of the bag.
The country star quietly erased his estranged wife from his Instagram bio just hours after news of their divorce filing broke, which probably serves as confirmation for fans still in denial.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO were country music’s golden couple who were together for about 11 years. Now their fairytale appears to be over, and their sudden split has left fans scrambling for answers.

The singer reportedly took out Bunnie XO’s name from his Instagram bio on Tuesday night. The move came just a day after news surfaced that he had filed for divorce in May.
Neither star has publicly addressed the filing, but the bio update only confirmed what fans already suspected. Bunnie XO also broke her social media silence around the same time, posting a lighthearted video of herself spending time with friends.

According to TMZ, the timing of the bio change did not go unnoticed by fans closely tracking the couple’s online activity. For many, the small digital gesture spoke louder than any public statement could.
The Country Star Officially Filed For Divorce After Nearly A Decade

The country star had filed for divorce on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee, according to court documents obtained by TMZ, which confirmed the filing date.
The couple met in 2015 and secretly married in Las Vegas the following year. They renewed their vows in 2023, often speaking publicly about their devotion to each other.
The filing comes as a shock to many fans, especially since the singer had emotionally thanked his wife during his 2026 Grammy Awards acceptance speech just months earlier. “I want to thank my beautiful wife,” he said at the time.
Insiders Claim Faith And Image Clashes Fueled The Split
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Those closest to the couple were reportedly blindsided by the filing, despite years of public ups and downs. The Blast noted that insiders pointed to growing tensions over the singer’s evolving public image, religious beliefs, and his wife’s outspoken persona.
“You couldn’t tell he was going through something,” one source told the Daily Mail. “If the divorce was on his mind, you’d never have known.” The couple had previously weathered addiction battles and infidelity together.

Despite those struggles becoming part of the singer’s redemption story, sources suggest the pressures of fame and faith ultimately proved too difficult to reconcile.
The relationship had become a central part of the singer’s public narrative as he rose from a struggling artist to a Grammy-winning star. Many fans saw their love story as proof that redemption was possible, which made the news of the split even harder to process.
Jelly Roll’s Marriage Faced Strain Amid Wife’s Fertility Journey

Months before their split became public, Bunnie XO had already been addressing speculation about cracks in her marriage. The Blast reported that hints about the breakup had quietly surfaced well before the official filing.
During an August 2025 episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, Bunnie XO explained her absence from several public appearances. She attributed it to months of IVF treatments rather than relationship troubles, insisting at the time that she and her husband were simply focused on starting a family.
Fans have since revisited old social media posts, searching for clues that may have hinted at deeper struggles between the pair. The fertility journey, paired with mounting personal pressures, appears to have played a role in their eventual split.

A Public Love Story Now Facing Its Final Chapter
MBS/MEGA
Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO’s relationship had long been held up as proof that love could survive even the hardest circumstances. Their story now appears to be heading toward an unexpected ending.
The two will reportedly continue coparenting the singer’s children from previous relationships as the divorce proceeds. Neither party has confirmed details beyond the court filing itself.
The couple’s openness about past struggles, from addiction to infidelity, had made their bond feel unbreakable to many who followed their journey. That same transparency now leaves fans searching for clues in every old post and interview.
As fans continue piecing together what went wrong, one question lingers: Can two people who once seemed inseparable ever fully walk away from each other?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be preparing for a major family milestone, as new reports claim the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are considering bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the United Kingdom for the first time in four years. According to reports, Harry is expected to travel to Birmingham next month for events marking the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games, and the visit could include Meghan and the couple’s two children. If the trip goes ahead, it would mark Archie and Lilibet’s first visit to Britain since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
The potential family visit comes amid Harry’s long-running concerns over security arrangements in the UK. Reports claim the Duke of Sussex is now satisfied with the security provisions being discussed for the mid-July trip and has begun making plans for Meghan and the children to travel from California. The development represents a significant shift from reports published just days earlier, which claimed that Meghan and the children were unlikely to join Harry due to ongoing security concerns.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the reported visit, while sources indicated that decisions regarding Harry’s security remain a matter for the Home Office and the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC). Harry has repeatedly stated that he does not believe it is safe to bring his family to Britain without appropriate protection.
Could King Charles Reunite With Archie And Lilibet?
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
The reported visit has also reignited questions about whether King Charles could finally spend time with his youngest grandchildren. Archie and Lilibet have not seen the monarch in person since the Platinum Jubilee celebrations four years ago, and Harry has reportedly only met with his father twice in the last two years.
One source close to Harry told News.com.au that the situation has been particularly painful for the prince. “It’s been a real point of great sadness, for Harry especially, that he’s been unable to bring his wife and kids back to the UK safely to reconnect with friends and family,” the source said. “He would love to introduce the children to his wider family, to show them the UK, where he grew up, his homeland. That would be a natural thing for any parent.”
At this stage, it remains unclear whether Harry, Meghan, Archie, or Lilibet would meet with Charles during the visit.

Reports Suggest Relationship Between Harry And Charles May Be Improving

The latest claims come amid reports that relations between Harry and his father may be slowly thawing. According to one of Harry’s Los Angeles-based business associates, there has been a “warming of the frost” between the Duke and the King in recent months.
The reported progress follows a private meeting between father and son last September, when Harry spent nearly an hour with Charles at Clarence House after a lengthy period without seeing each other face-to-face. However, questions remain about whether broader family tensions have eased.
Sources previously told reporters that “low trust and bitter experience” continue to complicate efforts to fully repair relationships between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, particularly following years of interviews, documentaries, and Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
Prince Harry’s Rift With The Royal Family Dates Back Years

Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family has remained strained since he and Meghan stepped back as senior working royals in 2020 and relocated to North America. Tensions escalated following the couple’s bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they made a series of allegations about their experiences within the monarchy.
WPA Pool/MEGA
The reported plans to return to the U.K. have also sparked debate among royal commentators. Royal commentator Tom Sykes argued the visit could represent a significant turning point in the long-running fallout from “Megxit.”
“Let’s be very clear what is happening here. This is the undoing of “Megxit.” This is the end. This is the nullification of the Sandringham summit,” Sykes said in a recent YouTube video. “This is the half in half out dream that Harry and Meghan have pursued for six years in complete defiance of what Queen Elizabeth warned them about.”
Whether the trip ultimately takes place remains to be seen, but if Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet do accompany Harry to Britain next month, it would mark one of the Sussex family’s most significant returns to the UK since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
