The world was introduced to Brielle Biermann on Real Housewives of Atlanta when she was
just a preteen.
She was thrust into the limelight to live out her awkward teenage years while the world
got to watch her literally grow up on TV.
Here's the stunning transformation of Brielle Biermann.
Biermann wouldn't be where she is today if it wasn't for her wise-cracking, no-nonsense
mother, Kim Zolciak-Biermann.
The feisty blonde bombshell had Biermann when she was 18 years old, and raised her as a
single parent.
The proud mom shared a throwback Instagram post on her daughter's 21st birthday, gushing
about how excited and nervous she had been to welcome Brielle into the world.
She called Brielle,
The mother daughter duo look more like sisters these days, and Brielle has boasted about
how she can confide in her mother like a sister or friend.
"I also think a lot of parents aren't as accepting as you are.
Like I know like some of my friends can't go to their mom and be like, 'Oh my god, like,
blah…' talk about certain things."
As Don't Be Tardy viewers would know, Brielle didn't exactly focus on studying throughout
high school.
"It's like five days a month."
"Oh my god, that's thirty days a year…
But did I do that right?"
"No."
Instead, audiences saw the boy-crazed teen focus more on her social life.
Along with an apparent lack of interest, Brielle was bullied in school because of her mother's
televised personal life.
In a 2013 interview with Glamour, Kim detailed how quickly her personal business hits the
press, and spoke about her struggle to protect her kids from the critics on social media.
She shared,
Brielle even opened up on Twitter about being bullied and beat up in high school.
Thankfully, she was able to overcome the difficult times and get her high school diploma in 2015.
"One hour of family meeting right now."
"What family meeting?"
"Everybody's here."
"Yeah, we have a family meeting that we're calling."
Brielle originally had her mom's last name, Zolciak, and she spent most of her life being
raised by a single parent.
However, that all changed as soon as NFL player Kroy Biermann came into her mother's life.
Kroy married Brielle's mom in 2011, and soon after, he adopted Brielle and her sister,
Ariana, who both took on his last name.
Kroy would become the father Brielle never had, and often became the person to challenge
her choices.
Despite being a bit of a disciplinarian, Brielle has displayed immense respect and love for
her adoptive dad.
She opened up about her feelings for Kroy in an Instagram post, writing in part,
Along with being extremely close to her mom, Brielle has an inseparable bond with her younger
sister, Ariana Biermann.
While the pair has been seen on TV bickering, the girls have always supported and uplifted
one another throughout the years.
Brielle has expressed her gratitude toward her sister on social media, including an October
2018 Instagram post captioned, in part,
While things have changed a lot since their mom married Kroy, expanding their brood to
a total of six kids, one thing has remained the same for Brielle and her sister: their
undying love for each other.
Growing up on television can afford someone many opportunities, like the chance to live
out one of your dreams.
In a Season 4 episode of Don't Be Tardy, Brielle expressed her desire to pursue a career in
broadcasting, with the intent to become an on-air personality like her idol, E! News
host Giuliana Rancic.
After pulling some strings and reaching out to some of her contacts, mama Kim landed Biermann
an amazing opportunity to audition at E! News.
"Have you done a lot of this before?"
"No, I've never read off the teleprompter."
"Is that G over there?"
"How are you, honey?
Don't cry, you are so sweet."
During the episode, Brielle breaks down into tears while meeting Rancic, who encourages
the reality star to be confident and persistent with her dreams.
While Biermann still hasn't made the jump to TV hosting full time, it's safe to say
that the girl is a natural when it comes to being on screen.
With cyber bullies eager to attack every imperfection, no one would blame Brielle if she chose to
refrain from showing off her body online.
Thankfully, she's never let the haters destroy her body confidence or warp her thoughts on
eating.
Whether she's dressed in body-hugging jeans or in a barely-there bikini, Brielle is always
praising her own body and expressing her sexuality without shame.
Additionally, the star doesn't restrict her eating habits to obtain an unrealistic, quote,
"Hollywood" body.
And while she doesn't shy away from posting bikini pics or showing off her cleavage, Brielle
made sure to warn her Instagram fans about the dangers of social media, writing,
Brielle's relationship with Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech played out for
fans of Don't Be Tardy for the course of the couple's two-year relationship.
The lovebirds were inseparable and the relationship was serious enough for the pair to consider
moving in together.
Sadly, the couple split in March 2018.
She talked about the break-up in a February 2019 interview with TooFab, where she detailed
how the baseball player wanted her to wait for him while they were on a break.
However, Brielle stood up for herself and said no.
She went on to explain that although their split was painful for her, she's in a much
better headspace now.
The reality star had to experience the pain on-camera, which was hard for her.
She told Hollywood Life in a February 2019 interview,
Brielle has changed a lot since she first appeared on Real Housewives of Atlanta as
a pre-teen, and in 2016, the blonde beauty made a big change to her face: she got lip
injections.
Brielle has been honest about having her lips plumped, and Kim expressed her support for
her daughter in a May 2016 interview with US Weekly, explaining,
Despite only changing her lips, Brielle received hate for having other plastic surgery done
to her face and body.
The reality star has adamantly denied having any additional cosmetic procedures, and she
addressed plastic surgery rumors in a November 2016 interview on The Doctors.
"They all tell me that I've like ruined my face.
Like, they think I've had all this work done to my face, when in reality all I've done
is my lips."
Online trolls attack Brielle over just about everything she does in her life, including
not having a, quote, "real" job.
Although the young television star has never worked a regular 9 to 5 work day, she does
work hard for her money.
Kim defended her daughter in a May 2017 interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live,
explaining that her daughter makes close to 6 figures through social media.
Brielle's massive social media platform, which includes over 1 million followers on Instagram
and over 245 thousand followers on Twitter as of April 2019, has helped her obtain a
lucrative career as a social media influencer.
"There really is no key to getting people to follow you on Instagram, I mean when you
look this good, you don't need…"
"Please stop."
The reality star has an established fanbase and a strong online presence that has garnered
her opportunities to work with brands like 310 Nutrition, FabFitFun, and Loving Tan,
to name a few.
While Brielle spent most of her life living comfortably, and rent-free, with her family,
she hit a major milestone in 2018: she moved out!
The reality star gushed about her gorgeous Atlanta condo on Snapchat, and she also confirmed
her move in an Instagram post where she shared the sexy art piece her mom bought for her
new place.
Brielle previously expressed a desire to move out on her own and become more independent
in a December 2017 interview with TooFab.
Her original plan was to move out at age 21 to live alone for a year, before settling
down with then-boyfriend Mike Kopech.
She explained,
Although the couple split, the break-up didn't alter her plans to experience life in her
own place.
Growing up on TV and facing constant criticism on social media has given Brielle a thick
skin against haters.
The reality star doesn't take crap from online bullies, and she certainly doesn't allow people
to bully the people she loves.
When Kim appeared on the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 reunion, she felt personally
attacked by the rest of her co-stars.
After watching the ordeal on TV, Brielle took to Twitter to unleash her anger.
This wasn't the first time the bold beauty has spoken up for her mom.
Brielle has defended their close relationship countless times, including her December 2017
interview with TooFab where she explained,
On February 13th, 2019, Brielle, Kim, and Ariana launched KAB cosmetics, a cruelty-free
makeup line featuring vibrant lip kits.
On the company website, the ladies wrote,
KAB features 10 lip shades to choose from, and displays the words "People will stare.
Make it worth their while" across the packaging.
The ladies have all shared sneak peeks of their beauty line leading up to its launch,
including one Instagram photo of Brielle wearing Funfetti liner and Bullet lipstick.
The Biermann ladies have also hinted that blush is next in the beauty line.
