Kim Zolciak is at it again; this time, she claims she is pregnant!
The reality star is in the middle of a contentious divorce with her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, and the pair are deep in a financial crisis.
However, the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star is taking her hustle to a new level by using her false pregnancy claims to attract clickbait traffic.
Kim Zolciak Shares Sonogram Pic From Weeks Ago
Zolciak stirred up the internet with an Instagram photo of a sonogram dated December 1, 2023. Alongside the date was her name "Biermann, Kimberleigh," indicating that it belonged to her.

The sonogram showed that the child was well along in development. The suspicious post was captioned, "OH BABY… what a way to end 2023 ❤️ #LinkInBio," while Zolciak opted to restrict comments.
However, to no surprise, clicking the link attached to Zolciak's Instagram revealed a Clickbait blog website that read, "They're expecting! Kim Zolciak-Biermann shared a reel celebrating a friend's new pregnancy, and it is too sweet!"
The 45-year-old shared the same news on Twitter and received quite a bashing. One disappointed fan wrote, "Given what’s going on in Texas and the fact that being pregnant means you may not have any say in your medical decisions, I find Kim constantly using fertility as clickbait to be even more disgusting."
Another displeased fan penned, "Editing a scan with your name for clickbate for a link to say you celebrated a friends pregnancy is disgusting @Kimzolciak. The respect I had for you is now gone. So many women struggle with infertility etc. So wrong. @bravotv @andy Never hire her again."
A similar comment read, "I hope you get your Karma for posting these lies after lies all for a few dollars. You deserve everything that is coming for you."
It seems fans wasted no time catching up with her antics since this is not her first rodeo with clickbait pregnancy news. Last month, the "Don't Be Tardy" star got heavily criticized when she used her daughter to get some clicks.
As we previously reported, Zolciak claimed that her daughter Brielle Biermann was pregnant with her first child. In a similar manner, the mother-of-six shared a sonogram picture on social media alongside a picture of her and Brielle with the caption, "SO EXCITED TO BE A GRANDMA."
The attached link to the post was only a fluff piece with a paragraph that read, "Oh baby! Brielle Biermann spilled to us about having kids and how she feels about her mom, Kim Zolciak, becoming a grandma." No other details confirmed if her daughter was indeed pregnant.
In no time, fans camped online to slam Zolciak for using her daughter for clickbait. "This girl is doing everything to try and get that peach back. We are not interested in wig or baby wig 😒," wrote a disgusted fan.
Another comment read, "The link is from July 28th?? Is this yet another attempt at getting back on #RHOA?" This fan who fell for the gimmick lamented, "I hate that I even read this, but it turns out it was just clickbait. Brielle is NOT pregnant, and Kim is NOT going to be a grandma any time soon. #RHOA."
Others gave her the title "clickbait Kim" while some mocked her dire financial situation, asking, "Can she afford to be a grandma?"
Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann To Attend Mediation Over Divorce
Zolciak's pregnancy tactic came hours after her divorce proceeding with the former Atlanta Falcons player reached a positive update. In exclusive court documents obtained by The Blast, the estranged couple was ordered by a judge to attend mediation as part of their ongoing divorce.
Per the judge's request, Kim and Kroy must attend the sessions together, and they must complete mediation by January 31, 2024. Usually, mediation involves a third person helping work through disputes to assist the parties (in this case, Kim and Kroy) in negotiating an acceptable resolution of issues.
The mediator should have completed the Fulton County Alternative Dispute Resolution program and will meet with Kim and Kroy at a neutral location. Kim and Kroy are required to split the associated costs of mediation equally.
Zolciak and Biermann have been going back and forth amid their divorce, with the reality star asking a judge to call off the split in August because they were still intimate in the bedroom. However, Biermann shot down the request, claiming their bedroom lives had no impact on his desire to end their 12-year marriage.
