Kim Zolciak Refuses To Speak With Parents

Following her bath, Karen reportedly returned later to the couple’s bedroom making numerous attempts to discuss matters with Joe while he continues to ignore her.

Bad Memories

Kim Zolciak has noted throughout the past few years that she no longer speaks with either of her parents. The family became estranged in 2017 after Joe publicly blasted Kim for making the decision to keep a dog that had bitten her son.

The reality star took to social media to explain her family situation following the tragic incident writing;

“Anyone who is close to me, or my family knows first hand how incredibly difficult the situation with my baby [Kash] was for us and still is! My parents haven’t been a part of me or my families lives for close to 6 years. They somehow think it is appropriate to comment or give their opinion on a situation that they know nothing about! I still can’t and will never be able to grasp the fact my parents will say or do whatever they can for a dollar!”
