Kim Zolciak's 3 Children File Appeals in Brother KJ Biermann's Sex Crimes Case

Three of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's children are taking legal action in their son Kroy "KJ" Biermann Jr.'s ongoing sex crimes case.



KJ Biermann’s three younger siblings have hired their own attorney and filed an appeal connected to the 15-year-old’s ongoing sexual battery and sodomy case, Page Six can exclusively reveal.


According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the Georgia Court of Appeals granted the children’s request to challenge a lower court ruling on Thursday.


It remains unclear exactly what ruling the siblings, who are represented by attorney Darice Marie Good, were challenging or why they were involved in their older brother’s criminal case.


However, KJ was prohibited from having contact with his three younger siblings under the conditions of his $200,000 bond.


A judge ordered the teen to stay away from anyone under the age of 16, including his siblings, when he was released from custody in September. It was unclear whether the appeal was connected to those restrictions.


The children’s attorney initially filed an “Application for Interlocutory Appeal” on Oct. 23, asking the higher court to review a decision made in Fulton County Superior Court.



In an order dated Nov. 12, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled that the application was granted.


“The Appellant may file a Notice of Appeal within 10 days of the date of this order,” the court stated.


Good filed the official “Minor Children Notice of Appeal” that same day.


The decision allowed the siblings to move forward with their appeal but did not mean that the lower court’s ruling had been overturned.


Darice Good declined to comment on this story.


Kroy “KJ” Jr., the son of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alums Kim Zolciak, 48, and Kroy Biermann, 41, was arrested on Aug. 17 following allegations that he sexually assaulted a female classmate.



The alleged incident took place at a Lifetime Fitness center in Alpharetta, Ga., on April 23.


Biermann has pleaded not guilty to all seven felony charges against him, waiving his formal arraignment in October.


His attorney, Jason Sheffield, has also asked that the case be transferred from Fulton County Superior Court to juvenile court, which would mean the teen would no longer be tried as an adult.


In November, Sheffield filed a motion challenging the sufficiency of the indictment, arguing that prosecutors had not provided enough detail to support several of the charges.


He argued that the aggravated child molestation count did not specify what physical injury KJ allegedly caused, while the aggravated sexual battery and aggravated sodomy counts failed to explain how force was allegedly used.


He also challenged the three sexual battery counts, arguing that some were indistinguishable from one another, and said the false imprisonment charge did not specify how KJ allegedly restrained the girl.



Sheffield did not respond to request for comment on this story.


KJ was released from Atlanta’s Metro Youth Detention Center in September.


He has been ordered to live at his mother’s home and attend school virtually. He is also prohibited from contacting the alleged victim, her family or associates.


The latest development also came as KJ’s older sister, Brielle Biermann, prepared to marry fiancé Billy Seidl.


On Thursday, Brielle hinted that her wedding was approaching when a fan asked during an Instagram Q&A, “How close are we to the wedding!?”


“Close,” she responded alongside a black-and-white photo of herself and Seidl.


It remained unclear whether KJ would be able to attend the wedding alongside his younger siblings under the court’s restrictions.


There will be a status hearing for the case on Jan. 20, 2027, in which only attorneys will be required to appear — followed by a final plea on Feb. 10, 2027.
