The digest
Ashleigh Banfield, host of "Drop Dead Serious," opens up about her love for reality TV, particularly shows like "Below Deck" and "Real Housewives." However, she notes that every so often, the world of reality television collides with her professional life: true crime. This episode, she explains, is one such instance, and the collision is nothing short of nuclear.
The Biermanns: A Family in the Public Eye
For years, America has watched the Biermann family, led by Kim Zolciak-Biermann, share every aspect of their lives on television. From weddings and babies to arguments and eventually, a very public and messy divorce, their lives have been an open book. Kim Zolciak, an original cast member of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" (which premiered in 2008), gained fame for her wigs, cigarettes, expensive taste, and her mysterious wealthy boyfriend, "Big Poppa." In 2010, Kim met former NFL player Kroy Biermann, and their relationship quickly blossomed. They welcomed their first son, Kroy Jagger Biermann Jr. (KJ), in May 2011, married in November of the same year, and their wedding became a Bravo spin-off, "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding," which later evolved into "Don't Be Tardy..." and followed the family for eight seasons. Kroy legally adopted Kim's two older daughters, Brielle and Ariana, from previous relationships, and together they had three more children: Cash (born 2012) and twins Kane and Kaia (born 2013). The family publicly raised all six children, seemingly living a picture-perfect reality TV life.
