Kim Zolciak’s Daughter, Ariana Biermann, Takes Plea Deal For DUI Arrest [Mugshot]
Reality TV star Kim Zolciak’s daughter, Ariana Biermann, took a plea deal at a hearing on May 23 to avoid jail time for her 2022 DUI arrest.
She pleaded guilty to reckless driving, possession and use of drug-related objects. Other charges, including a DUI, were ultimately dropped by prosecutors.
Biermann must serve 24 months of probation, pay over $2,000 in fines and complete 40 hours of community service. She cannot consume alcoholic beverages or drugs unless prescribed, and must complete an evaluation for substance abuse and take a victim impact program.

The court emphasized that if she violated any of her probation orders, she would serve jail time.
“Ms. Biermann maintained her innocence since her arrest,” said Justin Spizman, her lawyer, in a statement to Page Six. “We are pleased that the State of Georgia eventually decided to dismiss the impaired driving charge and offer Ms. Biermann the opportunity to plead guilty to a traffic ticket.”
“Despite her desire to fight this case, she took advantage of the opportunity to put this matter behind her and focus her energy on all the positive endeavors in her life.”
This is not the reality star’s first run-in with the law. Back in August 2022, Biermann, only 20 at the time, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, improper/erratic lane change, and underage possession/purchase of alcohol.
Hudson McLeroy, her boyfriend at the time, who was also 20, was arrested for an alleged DUI, along with allegedly furnishing alcohol to a minor and violating the conditions of his limited driving permit.
Biermann denied the charges at the time, and her lawyer said that she was “involved in a minor fender bender. However, the police “immediately initiated an investigation for DUI.”
Biermann’s sentencing comes days before the premiere of her new show, Next Gen NYC, on Bravo.
