Kim Zolciak has clarified the role counseling played in her custody battle with ex Kroy Biermann.
Posting a lengthy statement on her Instagram Stories on Friday, April 3, Zolciak emphasized that she “has not lost custody of my children, and there has never been a change in the child custody arrangement.”
“I signed a temporary custody order at the end of January. The order clearly states that both mother and father must participate in counseling sessions twice a month for two months, followed by one session a month after that. I was out of the country from February 26 to March 28 due to filming commitments for two different productions,” he wrote.
He added, “At that time, I didn’t have a single day off, which made it difficult to attend counseling sessions. Kroy as of today (I was with KJ and Kash until 5pm today) is currently on spring break with the kids, which is his designated parenting time under the existing agreement.”
Zolciak concluded, “For the avoidance of any doubt, I have not lost custody of my children, and there has never been a change in the custody arrangement other than an agreed upon interim order.”

But not before April 13.”

“These allegations are false and nothing more than Kroy’s attempts to discredit me,” he said. “I spent five weeks away working on two TV shows to support my family and make sure my children are taken care of – something I will never apologize for. I refuse to be bullied or lied about who I am. I will not be silent; the truth is with me, and it will come out – no matter how hard anyone tries to bury it.”
