Kim Zolciak Sued By American Express Amid Makeup Business Backlash

“Don’t Be Tardy” star Kim Zolciak was tardy in paying her credit card bill, so now she is being sued by American Express.

On Monday, Radar Online exclusively broke the news that the reality star is facing a lawsuit filed by American Express National Bank after she failed to pay over $215,000.

While the summons sent to Zolciak was reportedly accepted by husband Kroy Biermann on Feb. 9, the lawsuit was filed last Nov. 19, as shown in the court documents from Fulton County Superior Court.

In the legal documents, the mom of six is identified as the defendant who owes the bank a total of $215,925.90. Zolciak is said to have continuously failed to pay the dues on her account and so the bank decided to file a case against her.

The news comes amid the backlash her makeup business has been receiving from customers. Some buyers were disappointed in the quality of the KAB Cosmetics lip kits they got from the television personality.

There was even an uproar when Zolciak’s KAB brand deleted some of the “honest” reviews about the products on the company’s official Instagram page. KAB denied the allegation and claimed that they could have been accidentally deleted, but some people were not buying the explanation.

One Instagram user also asked why KAB does not disclose the ingredients of its products on its website. However, Zolciak’s fans were quick to point out that all the ingredients are actually listed on the website.

A representative for Zolciak’s business also spoke with Radar on the issue and said, “Our ingredients are listed on our website and we only delete rude, insulting comments attacking the girls’ appearance and ones that mention false accusations. All real reviews, negative or positive, are welcome.”

Meanwhile, Zolciak recently addressed her departure from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” during her guest appearance on “People Now.”

“I went back last year and it wasn’t what I thought. I just figured it would be a lot more fun and it would be good to have some girl time because I’m with my family all the time and it was none of those things,” she said. “So now I learned my lesson.”

Zolciak also made it clear that she’s not coming back to star on the show. Instead, she’s now more focused on her family’s own series, “Don’t Be Tardy,” which is now on its seventh season.
